Starcraft 2 - It's the sequel to Starcraft, and if you haven't heard of Starcraft then you've probably been living in a deep, deep hole in the ground. Not available online as far as I know.
It's here, choice of boxed or digital version :shobon:: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100001122

Do the Civilization games live up to the hype? I don't care too much for Starcraft and other RTS games but turned-based strategy games for the PC have me intrigued because I played advance wars a lot on GBA back in the day but those were more tactical turned-based strategy that only focused on warfare. I noticed Civ 5 recommends a quad-core but I only have dual-core (C2D E8400 OC) so how would it run on my system or is Civ 4 better anyway? I'm just kinda tired of shooters and RPGs so I want to play something different.

I have the exact same CPU overclocked to 3.6GHz and it runs at 1920x1080 maximum settings just fine, though I never actually checked my FPS. For context, I also have 4GB RAM and a 1GB 460GTX.

According to the UPS website I'll be getting my new card tomorrow. I got a coupon for Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2 for free with it as well. Are those usable on Steam or do I have to go to a brick and mortar store to use them?

The Just Cause 2 coupon I got with my 460GTX could be redeemed in Steam. I'm going to go ahead and assume Mafia 2 does this too.
