I bought it on discount, I wouldn't pay the ridiculous full-price. Its a fine series of games, the developers are simply incredibly arrogant & over-inflated in their self-esteem. These games are over-priced by about 25-30 dollars per title. The tech is old, but they still think their games are just amazing.... worth the same price they were 10 years ago. Their ok, but not worth Sixty dollars.
