Oddly enough on that dungeon siege 2 expansion...I just picked up Dungeon Siege 2 for 10 or 15 bucks at walmart yesterday (didn't even realize an expansion pack was coming out...it was a pure impulse buy at that price).

I'll probably pick up the Total War compilation...I have Rome...but I wouldn't mind to get the expansion pack and the Midieval and Shogun stuff.

I'm on the fence for SF2: Hyper Fighting. (or Turbo for the l33t.) The 360's controller is the issue for me. And I'm not a joystick type of person.

I'm hoping the demo can sway me over. Cause it'd be fun to play Shackers on that shit.
