I'm sorry, but cut out this live action crap for announcing games. Unless it's like 7th guest(was that the game) where it's all filmed and interactive... there's no place for this in gaming.

Agreed. Unless it's the awesomely campy one that they did for Blood Dragon.

Well, for me at least, it's one of those that I'll hop in to, join a game, and have a blast for an hour or so. Then I'll quit for some reason or another (kids, make dinner, housework, etc), and proceed to completely forget about the game for 3 or 4 months.
So I haven't put a ton of time into it, so I don't know how it is long term, or if you ever run into a 'pay-wall' or not. But good fun every once in a while.

As for the Square-Enix weekend sale, the dailies are changing at 4pm Pacific. Not sure why they're doing that, as normally it's 10am Pacific. The standard daily deals are swapping at 10 still. Just odd.

I agree about Euro Truck. I've only played the demo, but it's actually quite cool. Really a deep sim, and quite relaxing. That is, until you try to back your trailer up to a loading dock. Been taking me several tries to do so.

Glad to see Chivalry doing well. Picked that up during the holiday sale, and I've been having a good time with it, even though I pretty much completely suck at it

How's the DLC on Sleeping Dogs? Been wanting the game since it came out, and right now it's on sale at getgamesgo. They also have a DLC pack that's on sale. Wondering if I should pick that up as well.

Beth owns id now, and they are probably in charge of the pricing.

About the steam repeats, the repeats are mostly the flash and voted deals. I don't think the dailies have repeated themselves.

Dailies haven't repeated, but they show up again as flash sales/community votes. Which I, for one, am grateful for. Missed out on a couple that ended up hitting flash sales later.

Alright. Finally got a chance to play for a bit last night.
So far, I like what I see. Runs well, feels like a Descent game, and it's easy to get lost, which I actually like. One minor thing I've noticed, or rather not noticed, is being shot at. I'll be taking damage, and have no idea where it's coming from.
Can't comment on the story so far, as I'm not totally sure what's going on. All I know is that Russian forces are attacking for some reason.
Haven't tried a flight stick yet, nor a controller. Just using keyboard + mouse, and controls are quite nice. Mouse response is more like a FPS than a flight game, which works perfectly for it.
I think Descent fans are going to like this one.

I think I'll have a chance to play tonight. Got the alpha package ages ago, and they've done a ton just this year alone. For about the first year, it was mainly a tech demo. Cool to fire up every once in a while, but not worth playing for more than a few minutes. Last I tried it was a few patches ago, so they had one mission or so. Didn't put a lot into it since I've been waiting for release. Mission itself seemed cool, and difficulty was up there a ways.
So hopefully I'll be back later tonight with some more impressions.

Wait I thought the game from Roberts was Squadron 42? Am I that out of the loop?

I think I saw on RPS that Squadron 42 is the name of the single player portion.
Yep, here it is

I don't even want to count my damage.
Especially since its not done.

Since its the last day of the sale, today is the day to go over all the normal non-daily non-flash stuff on my wishlist and see what else to buy. Also to check the various publisher wide discounts and packs.

Edit:
Valve, protip:
It helps if your webpage is actually working and ya know, displays PRICING INFO on my wishlist!

Heh, I had that wishlist thing happen to me too. Just go back to the store, then wishlist again. Worked for me at least.

I didn't do too bad this sale. Thinking about still snagging a couple things, but I dunno. As is, I'll never get through all the games that I have.
Biggest surprise out of what I got was Bulletstorm. Had basically no interest in it before, but for $5, figured what the hell. Quite an enjoyable shooter so far. Fast and frenetic.

Oh yeah, any thoughts on Nuclear Dawn? Quite cheap, but not sure how the gameplay is. Seems similar to the Savage games, which were pretty cool.

Anyone know if those Batman DLC's can be used for a version that wasn't bought off of the Gamestop App? It says on there requires Gamestop, but aren't the DLC's tied to GFWL?
I may be totally wrong on that though

Edit: Dev, that would be nice. My son loves those games, and I've gotten em all over the place for him. Steam, D2D, Disk...would be nice to just get em all again on Steam. Have em nice and centralized.

Just an FYI for all those interested in Anno 2070. On sale over at Gamersgate for $20. Still on the fence about it myself, but that's the cheapest I've seen it so far.

Anybody know if the Thief collection will play on 64-bit multicore Windows 7?

Go Here

Here's an excellent thread to help with the Thief games. I've installed the fixes for T1 &T2, but haven't tried it for T3, as I don't have that one on steam. Anyway, it works great. Playing T1 with no problems.

I wanted to like it but heard it was buggy. If turning off 'gibs' completely fixes it I may be interested. Johnny five needs more input!

It's actually a really cool game. Been playing it off and on for a bit, and while the AI can be kinda simplistic, it's a fun game that has quite a bit of character customization. You can choose your loadout, and similar to Elder Scrolls, the more you use weapons, the better you get at them. Story is a touch confusing, due to the translation, but it's cool nonetheless.

That's how I felt about it until I tried the demo. Ends up being just a generic cover based shooter. Enemies just stand there until you shoot them, which is always annoying. The story and visuals are pretty good, but the overall gameplay was just 'bleh' to me.

Were you seriously expecting anything different? This thing has CoD clone written all over it.


Expecting? No. Hoping, yes.
