Well, was searching to see if this thread was already created, but seems there isn't any, or at least not much.
Course I'm not surprised cause you have to buy the cds for the game, and a few of us plan to (me included), and start at about the same time. Whoever know or played the series know that this is a great game and this would be the perfect time to start playing cause they have expansions for it now.
