January 23, 2012: wallet threat level blue, gray, and black crude

If you’re not into niche strategy games, this isn’t your week yet. Instead, this is the week for A House Divided, the American Civil War add-on for Victoria II, a fascinating historical strategy game in dire need of one of Paradox’s trademark add-ons. You can also pick up an indie tower defense game called Oil Rush that looks just as pretty as Anno 2070, but presumably won’t suck up dozens of hours at a time.

UPDATE: The Victoria II expansion was pushed back to February 2nd, making for a strictly monochromatic wallet thread level this week.
