Best place is here: http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/styl...t-player-faces

Are they available anywhere else? The downloading from the mirror's that site uses is awful. The major release downloaded fine since it was torrent, but the upgrade packs download at a horrible rate.

Nope, it's exclusive to Susie. Just download the 'Complete Pack (5.8)', should take less than an hour which is pretty reasonable considering it's an almost 6GB file.

Origin has finally done something good. It's only for their own EA games but still quite a gesture.

Nothing, and considering the ADD state of video games these days (8 hours of playtime for a story mode in a full priced game is an absolute joke) it's something everyone should do.

That seems to be the point. All these short games people don't get value out of,usually can't trade them in on PC.

I'm just gonna suggest watching all of this series from Giantbomb:

Save the Date from last week was pretty fun: http://paperdino.com/games/save-the-date/

Certainly one of the most unique ways to get the good ending. Try figuring it out without looking it up.

I get the feeling it's 10x better watching someone play the game than trying to play it yourself but should be mentioned for being something different.

Someone gifted me this on GOG, and it's fun-ish. It's interesting, you are still dealing with bureaucratic paperwork, but everything going on can keep you entertained.

Game has some problems though, like putting obvious men's heads on female bodies (and vice versa) just trying to trick you (so you see female on passport, an obvious male head, then "search" them only to find the man headed female in the picture), things like that. Some things with the graphics are hard to correlate as well, some of the ID pictures are barely close but are supposed to be right.

All in all it's not bad, took me a shade over 4 hours to get one ending (looks like there's 20, I won't be trying to find them all). Personally $5 is about the right retail for the game, I wouldn't pay more than about half that.

I only had 25 citations the entire game, so that's not too bad (processed a total of about 350 people through). Pretty interesting how efficient I got towards the end of the game, at the beginning just two simple pieces of paper were a little overwhelming, by the end you sometimes juggle 4 or 5 like it's nothing.

You can also pay $150 for every Paradox game ever released (to my knowledge)

Honestly I've only played Magicka and CKII, CKII is pretty fun and Magicka is roughly a Civ game with magic (if my memory is holding up correctly). I haven't played any of the other games, but if you only want the first set of games, $1 isn't bad at all, especially since you can get EU III complete which if you cannot afford or are unsure about EUIV, paying $1 for it's predecessor is a great deal. CKII for $5.80 is more than worth it, in my opinion.
