lol, that's great! She actually loves the Mr. Noodles :)

I also enjoy other soups like store brand condensed soups(chicken noddle and bean n bacon being two of my faves....oh and chicken and rice...mmmm)

Unfortunately I can't make the comparison since I don't have Civ V. Plus the Fall from Heaven mod has a huge number of differences from regular Civ IV, but it's a glorious timesink. (Link to the FfH section at civfanatics.net )

Might and Magic has no multiplayer.

I'd agree that M&M might be a great value for $-to-time-to-beat, but not $-to-time-to-enjoy. I've blown plenty of 4 to 8 hours stints on M&M, don't get me wrong. But Neverwinter Nights has it beat hands down by a good long shot.

DDO has been a blast, but I'd warn to stay away from the Lord of the Rings Online free-to-play game.

Also, if you want to lose your life for a good a few years for free, play City of Arabel or another good story-rich multiplayer server on Neverwinter Nights. Just beware of the lag monster. It kills far more than Beholders.

Another good cheap game that I've spent countless hours on is Mount and Blade. It's definitely not for everyone. But holy smokes I've wasted my life on that game. When I die, I'll probably be ashamed of my life's pie chart of spent time. NWN and Mount and Blade will get their own pie pieces.

Give it a few years and you will be:)

Lol......
