Default Re: Bought Dominions 3

D,
Welcome to the fold!

I apply my EVA (Entertainment Value Analysis) scale to all game purchases. Take the hours you play the game times the current minimum wage (say $5.85 )and compare this extended cost to the purchase price. Many many games on my shelf do not make the cut. The clerks at Gamespot don't understand this proration and won't refund any difference ("I only got $16 of fun out of this $50 game and want to return it for the difference")

The EVA for Dom3, (hrs x mw)/cost is ... very high

PS Only two hits for quoted "Entertainment Value Analysis" on google. Copyright pending...
