January 2010 video game tab
Video games and related goods purchased:
X-COM: Complete Pack (PC) – $2.00 from Steam
Total: $2.00
Almost got through the month without buying anything, but then Steam had to have an X-COM deal in the middle of the last week of January. The complete pack has X-COM: UFO Defense, X-COM: Terror from the Deep, X-COM: Apocalypse, X-COM: Interceptor, and X-COM: Enforcer. The first two games are considered classics, while I’ve never even heard of the last three. I own a physical copy of Terror from the Deep (probably sitting in a box in a closet somewhere in my mom’s house), but $2 for easy access to all five games seemed worth it. I never beat Terror from the Deep because that game is frickin’ hard. I’m hoping when I give it another shot or maybe play UFO Defense first, I’ll have an easier time.

Along with not doing much game shopping, I haven’t done much playing either. I got some TF2 playing in, and for a couple days, I was devoted to Mass Effect. I had hoped to beat Mass Effect in time for the release of Mass Effect 2, but I got distracted with birthdays, Vegas, and our relocation. No biggie; I wasn’t all that interested in Mass Effect 2 anyway and will wait for a deal on it. In the meantime, I should be able to beat Mass Effect in February.
New thing I learned today: Though X-COM: Interceptor was released after X-COM: Apocalypse, Interceptor is set chronologically before Apocalypse.
