Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Hey, Baby. Who's Your Mommy? 
I need to try that line next time I'm in the bar. 
Wofl Again. 
Restarted on Hard, played until completing Dig then Warehouse. I've got used to the pukebob now (although it is shit, as is FOV 45 or whatever the fuck you're forced to play in) and am rather enjoying it. Fun gameplay, good style, the Veil certain adds something - I think it looks great when you do it in the town. I like the hub base and the exploratory feel so far. Also runs well so far. Unlike your bloody character. 
Tower To Heaven 
A short, simple and rather difficult and well made platformer. Clean 3 colour pixel graphics, neat music, made me say "fuck!" out loud an awful lot. Worth a try.

I Think 
Wooooooo0oooooofl Again #2. 
41% in. It's really good. Great blend of style, action, and lots of neat but not overwhelming enhancements. Caverns map is one of the coolest indoor maps I've played in a long time, and it ran really smoothly. Only real flaw is the movement feel / headbob, although a greater variety of enemy would be good. 
Completed It On Hard 
'Parrently some guy called "Matt Breit" got credited for additional help or something, and some guy called "Tim Elek" worked on it too.

I for one enjoyed it, and will probably re-play it some time, on the hardest skill.

Pretty tricky (for me) on hard at the end. 
... 
:D 
 
Looks neat. Are we running a pool on how long it takes until it gets shut down? :) 
Wolfenstein Review 
Okay. 
Some of his other reviews were a lot more cutting, but that is total fucking genius, a work of reviewing art. Very very good :D 
Man I Love Yahtzee 
one of the only websites I check every week without fail. The DNF anti-review is one of the best things of all the things. 
Same 
But that one was something extra special. 
Mount & Blade 
Found this for a tenner with free delivery on Play.com and after being totally sucked into the demo there was no choice!

its fantastic fun, simple to pick up and play but deep enough to hold your interest, plus the amount of user mods for it is insane (not that I've tried any of them yet).

if you have never heard of the thing before, its basicly a sandbox medieval conquest game. You start out with a horse and a sword and can basicly do whatever you want after that, you can loot and pillage villages, form your own private army or go work for any of the kingdoms in the game.

The mechanics are similar in a way to the Might & Magic games, you have the standard "god" view, looking down onto the landscape, where you can trek your avatar anywhere you want, visit a few towns/castles etc and find a mission or two, at the same time the enemy kingdoms avatars are doing exactly the same thing. There are also wandering bands of mercenaries, looters, deserters that make for nice experience for new players.

The best part of it all is when you go into a fight, and you take direct control of your avatar and fight the enemy, with your entire army next to you. its just epic, and fantastic fun.

Somehow it all runs at 60+ fps even on my oldish rig, though it certainly isn't a looker the graphics are definitely good enough. Even fights with 50+ units on each side run at 60fps!

The demo is on steam, go check it out! 
Flash Game: "Figure 8" 
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/510390

ride your bicycle through a giant sheet of paper filled with diagrams. Gets harder the farther you go. (there is an end, evetually.) 
Grim Fandango 
Anyone know where it can be downloaded? 
Hmm 
You mean legally or illegally?

Legally I'm not sure, but I'd check steam, they have loads of Lucas Arts shiz nao (not on my own machine atm so can't login and check if this is the case), failing that try amazon or ebay.

Illegally I would be hesitant to link to any warez sites, let alone directly to a download link, but I'm sure if you're looking for a place to acquire backups of software you've lost the discs for then this article would probably be a good place to start; http://torrentfreak.com/25-great-pirate-bay-alternatives-090822/ (RIJ nazi funded, profiteering, arrogant arse wipes (Raped In Jail in case you were wondering)) 
L4D Custom Campaigns 
Anyone tried one of them? Are they any good?
Like http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=33 or http://l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=70
Where is the #tf campaign? 
So Um 
pretty sure I already asked this and then forgot, but does anyone know where I could download or order a real copy of grim fandango? 
Steam 
 
"unreal Deal" - 16eur On STEAM 
"unreal deal" for 16eur on steam: Unreal Gold, UT99: GOTY, UT2004, UT3 
Oh And 
Unreal2 too but noone gives a shit about that one 
 
Actually I didn't give a shit about any of them but I bought it anyway. 
Tales Of Monkey Island 
You can get Tales of Monkey Island for "free" (e-mail address) today: http://www.telltalegames.com/playlikeapirate 
Well 
I'm pretty sure Grim Fandango isn't on steam...
