Hi..a couple of questions from a tightwad?

I am like you, I have a ton of old games that never see play. This year we had our first child and time is now precious. I have only bought one game (as opposed to the 6 or 7 I would have) since Claire was born. It was Dom 3, which follows on both Dom 1 and 2.

I enjoy Civ and Alpha Centari as well, to give you some context. This game has the depth of AC and the complexity. However, it is a different style. So, as other’s said, if you like the demo, go for it. If the demo leaves you cold, keep the cash in your pocket. Be aware that due to the limits of the demo, you do not see the full complexity of the game, but you will see enough to know if you like it.
