Default What titles have you bought this year?

What games, simulations, and commercial addons have you spend money for this year, no matter whether the title was released new, or was around since longer?

Which titles have you seriously considered, but then decided against?

Which ones do you plan to get in the near future?

I got myself these titles:
- Aerofly FS 2013
- Virtual Pool 4
- Combat Mission: Shock Force
- The Hunter "Deutsche Wälder 2013" (DVD special edition)

I got myself these payware addons, mods, upgrades:
- Steal Beasts Pro 2.654 upgrade
- Skyrim: Dawnguard
- Skyrim: Hearthfire
- Combat Mission Shock Force: Marines
- CMSF: British Forces
- CMSF: NATO (Germans, Dutch, Canadians)
- few new international airport sceneries and Active Sky Evolution for FSX
- PMDG Jetstream JR-4100 (for FSX)

I considered and decided against:
- Carrier Command
- DCS P-51 Mustang

I consider to get:
- Aerosoft Airbus Extended (Box, for FSX)

That makes one new title per quarter, and roughly one addon or upgrade per month.

Not a whole lot.

Shogun II Total War
Skyrim: Dawnguard
Skyrim: Hearthfire
Street Fighter IV 2012 (when I was trying to convince my wife to play it on PC so I wouldn't have to sully my house with a gaming console. I failed)
Kerbal Space Program.

I am contemplating Far Cry 3, but have yet to pull the trigger (no pun intended).

Can you tell me alittle about this Carrier Command

Is it like Destroyer Command, but here you command an Carrier instead ?

Have just been reading about the game

http://www.carriercommand.com/

I thought that you were to command the Nimitz and do all the stuff that makes a carrier work.

Last game I bought was SH4, to add to old SM Gettysburg for a total of 2 in 10 years..., but I do play a lot of online poker.

Pretty much... if it's worth mentioning it's probably in the collection.

In the last two days I've bought B-17: The Mighty Eighth, and Mirror's Edge.

Prior to that it was the (then) latest Humble Bundle.

Prior to that it was the Premium for BF3.

Prior to that, nothing this year, I don't think. Maybe Hitman in the Steam Summer Sale?

Markus - I beta tested CC from its first beta forward.

It is the spiritual descendant of the original Carrier Command.

You control a highly automated and mostly self reliant Carrier. The Carrier is home to up to 4 active amphibious tanks and 4 aircraft. You control the loadout of each of these - and can issue orders from a map (Go here - attack this - guard this unit, etc) or you can hop in and control any of the units themselves.

That is the "main game". However, the game does come with a "single player campaign" that is basicaly a story driven, very lengthy tutorial. It not only involves the above - but also some running around FPS style as a soldier to complete objectives that move the story forward. Most think the "campaign" to be a major weakness in the game as its somewhat limiting.
