I just bought a game pack which includes (all?) three splinter cell games. Spilnter cell, spilnter cell pandora tomorrow and spilnter cell the chaos theory. and it only cost me 15 euros . These are all new games to me. I haven't played any splinter cell game before so I don't excatly what i'm going to see. I tried the the first SC yesterday abit and the gameplay felt really neat, hopefully the storyline is as good.
well i caved and bought the beyond the sword expanison for civ 4 this evening and been playing it for the last 2 hours. the afterworld mod/scenario caught my attention as it touted it as been the first turn-bases tactical strategy "game" in a civ game, or something along those lines. its quite fun and might appeal to those who like something more than just a civ game. its worth alone the 10 bucks i would have normally saved for waiting for this game to price drop.
Hmmm ... I have no issues, but I'm on a high-end rig (Dell XPS 1710) so I might not be a good test case. I played the original last week and after installing BtS I see no difference.Does BTS have higher graphic card requirements than the basic CivIV game? I can play CivIV just fine, but the demo for BTS is all pixellated and in bizarre colours.

Well you should definitly check out Francesco's leveling mod (as rooroosta said) and Kobu's advancement mod as I recollect from patrolling the mod forums awhile back. The GUI mods I use are BTmod 2.20 and Daegor's Retextured UI mod. They give more screen space to the game while outside menu's and give more room to items/spells etc in menu's.
