EA does it again: 50% off (FIFTY PERCENT OFF!) Call of Doody: Black Cops II! That makes it ONLY 35 Euros (~$47) over here. WOW, now that's what I call a helluvaprice! Way to go, EA!

Now for some real bargain: Shadow Warrior (2013) is dirt cheap at the moment! Who wanta some Wang?

Call of Doody is published by Activision not EA
I don't think there are any newer EA games on Steam

Ssshhhh you'll get in the way of the baseless EA hatefest.

Enemy took the center? Let me guess, round focused MMO where you grind credits and experience to unlock better ships/gear in retarded arena combat scenarios. Well they can take their World of Tanks in Space and shove it where the sun dont shine. Motherfuckers.

Uh, what? I have seen nothing to suggest this is an MMO. The fact that they're giving away keys suggests it's just a normal commerical multiplayer game.

I really like Project Reality 2 - I haven't played a ton of it, but back when I did play it, it was really great. One of my favorite realistic shooters. It's a lot like a stripped down ArmA. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

The performance was abysmal

Primary reason I stopped playing after only a few weeks. You CANNOT suffer framerate issues in a game this focused on precision aiming.

So this isn't just because the new expansion just released? Nmhhh.... anyway, for a First Impression this one was an epic fail. For me the non working Tutorial was worse, because the game seems to have become even more opaque for a new player.

No, performance was bad for a while, then it got better a few patches ago, then literally the day before this free weekend they released this new patch which DESTROYED performance. It's stupid and they're losing hundreds if not thousands of sales because of it. It's really sad. I love the game and I want it to succeed but they're shooting themselves in the foot and I don't know why.

Bought in at Shadow level - might've bought in at Onos level if it hadn't sold out immediately. I've been a fan of Natural Selection since before the original mod came out - that's more than a decade now. Yikes!

Yeah, way too much crap. They need to get a lot more discriminating.

Nah, they just need a better search and browse system, including tabs.

Yeah, pretty much this. Steam already had tons of crap on it before Greenlight even existed (Bad Rats, anyone?). It just needs a way to sort through games better. Amazon.com sells a lot of crappy books but it's still a fine place to buy stuff. Steam needs curated storefronts that people can set up like they can set up lists of Greenlight games. That would help - find someone you trust, and check out what games they recommend.

This is practically guaranteed to come to PC eventually. In fact, every indie game on consoles will likely come out for PC.

Games like The Unfinished Swan would like a word with you.

After The Walking Dead I think it's pretty clear Telltale can make a great game out of anything, or more specifically one of the teams at Telltale can. I like Fables, too, so I'm excited.

I'm glad somebody's making a game about this war finally.

I wonder if they'll disqualify you if you use console commands. I could kill that dragon pretty quick just by typing in a magic word...

Hey, this isn't just for Chrome and Firefox. It works for Opera too. I almost didn't bother checking out their website because you didn't list Opera, but I clicked it anyways and now I have a brand new plugin!

Pretty awesome. I also like how we can always tell the Australian guy writes these updates because he writes stuff like "armour."

My recommendations for Joysticks or HOTAS setups are the following:

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog (this is one of the most durable joysticks on the market)

Saitek PRO Flight X-65F HOTAS (Personally I've had bad luck with Saitek, some of their joystick batches aren't manufactured properly with calibration issues)

Going cheap on joysticks might get you by for a little while, but most of the cheap ones will break or have calibration issues eventually. Get something that lasts with a good warranty or RMA policy.

Whoa. Those are some nice looking joysticks.

Thanks for the info. But they're also pricey and large.

I was hoping for something in the $50-100 USD range, and didn't have the separate throttle and stick controls (like my old Saitek). Yet also sturdy.

I'm not that into flight sims, just the occasional jaunt, and usually only play one space sim at a time. Storing my old Saitek (which was similar to the one you posted) was a p.i.t.a. because of their awkward + tall shape.

A good cheap joystick is the Logitech Extreme 3d Pro. It's the one I've been using for years and it has yet to let me down.

I got Syndicate like this for $0.75 (or free, I can't remember) and it was worth it, but the effort of printing out + mailing in a rebate is too much to go through for this game.

noooooooooo

So, do GOG games ever get pulled from sale, and if so, do you still have access to them if you haven't downloaded them yet?

For example, on Steam you used to be able to buy Neverwinter Nights, but it has since been pulled from their store page. But if you bought it already, its still in your library and you can download it again whenever you want.

When XIII was being pulled from GOG.com they had a big announcement and told everyone to buy it if they wanted it because it wouldn't be sold any more, and of course you still have access - not only does GOG.com let you download stuff, all their games are DRM free.

I was all set to hate this but it turns out you can turn off most of the dumb stuff in the options menu so maybe this will be a pretty good game. It's first person, at least...

I don't even like any of the Chris Roberts games as much as the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games that Wing Commander was competing against but I gave him $125 because it's not like Wing Commander sucked, plus it's about time that space sims came back. Between this and Enemy Starfighter I'm getting pretty excited about the future of space sims.

Heh, it's even better than spawning in one way, because you don't need to be near the person. But on the other hand you still can't actually run the game on a LAN so that's lame. Still, I think this is pretty cool.

Yeah, nobody is getting any points like this. Once while I was idly browsing the net I noticed Bethesda tweet something like "follow all of our foreign twitter accounts, they're giving away DLC for Dishonored and Skyrim!" So I opened those 6 twitter accounts (Germany, France, Netherlands, etc) in my browser and moved it to my second monitor and set the pages to constantly refresh. Over a period of 15 minutes they gave away at least 6 codes, and even though I entered them almost immediately they were always taken. And that was from multiple twitter accounts with a few thousand followers for a giveaway that wasn't announced long beforehand. One BioWare twitter and one Facebook page, which both already have thousands and thousands of people watching them? Fat chance.

It's a shame too because as far as I can tell BioWare points never go on sale, right?
