I have not watched any star wars movies and have very little idea about the world or the characters are about. Can I enjoy this game even if I am not a fan of star wars franchise?

KotOR is well before the movie timeline. several thousand years. it would help to be familiar, I guess, in the sense that you might understand the roles of certain types of characters, but story wise it is mostly irrelevant.

But you really need to watch the original trilogy. not having done so is a shameful act.

Semi-off topic but on the subject of KotOR and the original trilogy:

Having played KotOR 2, it really makes the "light side = goody two shoes, dark side = evil stabby psychopaths" message of the movies look trite and childish by comparison.

Picked up HeroesV pack also. I used to love Heroes I to III. 4.99 is just like a meal at Mcdonald's anyway.

I'm in for Just Cause 2 with all the DLC. I have an unopened box copy sitting on the shelf, but I just prefer to have things on Steam.

Also, fair warning, many of the Grand Theft Auto "classics" don't work on modern computers.

It should probably be pointed out that Just Cause 2 is one of the greatest action games ever made, and it is worth far more than $5.

It's like Grand Theft Auto on steroids. Do you enjoy blowing stuff up? Do you enjoy grappling onto an enemy helicopter, beating up the pilot, and hijacking it into a military compound? Do you enjoy surfing on top of airplanes and skydiving off? Do you enjoy huge game environments 20 square miles in size, with beautiful graphics? Most importantly, do you like having fun? Then you will like JC2.

I don't really like all those things, and even I have to agree that JC2 was pretty well done. Certainly a great deal at that price!

Just Cause 2 is one of the most spectacular games in S3D and unreal in 3D Vision Surround (5760x1080). Aerial views over Panau are really breathtaking and quite immersive.

It's one of the best (non-3D Vision Ready) 3D Vision games (and i have evaluated well over 70 games in S3D)

Rule of thumb with steam sales is, don't buy anything that is not on daily deal till the end of the sale.

Yea, it's a good thing I resisted blowing it all on the bigg packs yesterday. Today I'm getting Shogun 2, I'm just trying to decide which, or all, to get from JC2, Railworks 2, Empire at War and Heroes V.

JC2 for sure, and HOMM V. Forget Railworks 2, and you have Shogun 2 to keep you busy instead of E@W

Where do strategy guides show up in your library?

Click on the little "Games" drop-down menu arrow in the top left of your library, see if it's under "media" or something like that.
