Bought Sword of the Stars. It's like Master of Orion, except in 3d and with real-time battles.

That Fallout collection is most likely the edited versions released in much of Europe, when you're playing, and you don't meet any children and the word drugs is replaced with "chems" at any time, you better apply one of the patches that return that content, because it's supra-lame.

Continuing to expand my RPG collection (and that of action games, I suppose):
Baldur's Gate with Tales of the Sword Coast
Baldur's Gate 2
Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal
Fallout collection: Fallout and Fallout 2 (and Fallout Tactics)
They don't make games like this anymore, both in a narrow and a broad sense. Pure quality.

Indeed coughDeusExInvisibleWarcough I would rather companies take the extra time to add enhancements or least polish up a pc game when it comes from the console than have it out faster.

Mafia is a pc original 
It was later ported to consoles.
But you did raise an issue. In most if not all cases I don't mind games being released for both consoles and pc (I do despise console exclusives... corporatism, blegh), but I do expect companies to take the differences between platforms into account when doing so. It's obvious this is necessary when going from pc to console, then why is it so hard to understand otherwise?

Companies should make games using the standards of PCs, not consoles. Just my opinion, or at least make the PC versions as good as the Xbox360/PS3 versions and not the damn PS2 versions. Blegh.

I've noticed no huge difference between the two versions, but then again I'm comfortable on both platforms and it has been a while since I played the Xbox version!
Would still prefer a pad though.

Weren't the console versions a lot poorer then the pc one? I've never played the console versions myself, but with the recent announcement of Mafia 2 a lot of such sentiments surfaced everywhere 
They were so so from what I hear too, the pc version is the way to go, always prefer mouse control to pad control, especially in a 3rd person shooter like this one, but Mafia is indeed superb, hugely underrated and a shame didn't get more exposure, and I can't wait to play Mafia 2, hoping its also as awesome as the first.

Myth-saga plus Icewind Dale: excellent.
