I have 20 bucks, which should I buy, Magicka which I played the demo and had so much fun, Dragon Age 2, which I can buy off my friend for 15 bucks, or Civilization 5, which is on sale on steam(btw I loved civ 4). Please don't bother telling me how different these 3 games are, I know. But from your experience, which one would best suit a casual rpg/fps/rts pc gamer like me?

Since Civilization V is on sale for so cheap I feel inclined to suggest it. That said, both of the other choices are also great games.

I suggest Civilization 5, Magicka is fun, but Civ 5 would be a better value as it isn't usually 75 percent off and there's a lot more content.

If you play a lot with friends and they have Magicka get it. If not I would pass cause the single player is just ok. CIV V would be my choice, but if you got CIV IV then it might not be different enough for you. It has some different features, but you might want to check into it some. Dragon Age 2 I have not played, but it has gotten bad reviews from gamers who liked the first. I got the first and like it, but I enjoy CIV series more.

Civ V is good but it's not as good as Civ IV (which you already own), DA:2 is possibly the worst modern mainstream RPG ever made (so bad, in fact, that it's enjoyable in a, "wtf were they thinking?" kind of way but it does get old fast) and Magicka is pretty decent for what it is. It's a tough call, honestly. I suppose if I had to pick one I'd go with Civ V.

Dragon Age 2 is not worth it. If you have friends to play magicka with then get it. If you are going to play alone then get Civ 5 its in short a "easy" civ game.

Civ 5. Dragon Age 2 is just bad. (compared to the first). Magicka is fun but Civ 5 at the current sale price is a bargain since there is much longer gameplay there.

Dragon Age 2 - not worth it ... unless it drops to 10 bucks - it's not worth it !

Magicka - only if you have friends to play co-op with since SP becomes rather boring later one using the same spells over and over and over ... only the humor can somewhat keep you playing.

Civilization V - totally worth it, Civ5 doesn't get a 75% discount every day, the SP expirience is always different becouse of starting area and MP is twice as fun since you can always find someone to march to war with and end up with different results. There are some changes since the 4th game but the game still shines as it should.

If you get Civ 5 get the Civ Nights mod. Otherwise it boils down to what kind of game you want.
