After my disappointment with Sins, I experienced a first. I re-bought a game I had previously returned only to find I love it...
6 years ago I was living in Pasadena, CA and used to shop at InteractCD, a great retail store in the neighborhood.
I heard great things about Freedom Force and Ken Levine is basically a game-God so I bought it. Got it home. Played 3 levels and hated it so much I actually brought it back to Interact for a refund. (I've only returned 2 games in my life; the other was Grand Theft Auto 3.)
Recently I have been on a strategy/turn-based game kick. Sins was a flop so I looked for something new. I decided to give "Kings Bounty: The Legend" (Atari) a try but Amazon was charging half the price Steam was so I decided to wait for retail.
While waiting, I picked up two Freedom Force games for $8. Let me repeat that. TWO full retail games for $8!!
The game runs great on my Windows7 x64 machine and still looks terrific. At the ripe old age of 40, I am enjoying the humor in ways I didnt years ago. It is not a turn-based game but it is keeping my attention.
For $8 this is HIGHLY recommended.
