I.e. I turned the whole game off, uninstalled it and binned the CD. Not out of frustration or anger, just the simple purging of shit :D 

It's too bad you uninstalled it as I was going to recommend you open a map in the editor and see how bad GoW really looks without color correction. 

what should I get? I'm thinking 2 5 dollar games. Not sure I can actually handle Amnesia. Thinking Bioshock 2... is it embarassing to consider Terraria? seems like it would be an INCREDIBLE time waster. 

Bioshock 2 is great, I bought a 4 pack for like $15 and just gave them out to people because it was a great game imo.

I only ended up with Dead Island because it was the only game I wanted that I didn't have. 

i'm trying to play amnesia right now.
a couple of hours in so far, but had to stop after a pretty close run in with a monster. sound effects in this game are really really well done. unbelievably atmospheric game. 

not an action horror?

Unfortunatly I won't be here this weekend to play it. :( 

Horror adventure seems more fitting. There's no action or survival gameplay except for occasional fleeing or hiding from monters. The rest is puzzles and exploration. 

doesnt really sound like my thing. 

is great fun, cant go wrong for less cost than a pint of beer :) 

is not available in Germany. Can someone buy it and gift it to me? I'd paypal the money right away. 

Yeah I can when I get home unless someone does before then. 

Thanks. Do you need a steam id or can you just look me up in the func group? 

To buy or sell games, on steam. :S

I hated the lifeguard guy, annoying voice/acting. Make sure not to let your weapons degrade below 50%. 

Completed this today. Anyone who likes adventure games should take a look at this. I recommend it. 

thanks for the suggestion quakis, that looks up my alley 

<@rebb> hm wonder if this works http://bf3blog.com/forum/topic/how-to-make-origin-stay-away-from-the-rest-of-your-computer 

I emailed before and didn't get a reply. I'm just checking before I leave feedback. This is what was advertised beneath the product:

1 of: Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Limited Edition (PC DVD) (New)
Seller note: EXPRESS DELIVERY IN 48 HOURS , SAME DAY SHIPPING GUARANTEE ( � less )

I ordered the item on 21st October. I got a dispatch email on 26th October - not same day shipping.

At the time of emailing (29th October) the item still hasn't arrived - not 48 hour delivery.

I've had friends send me parcels from London and arrive the next morning. So I'm not sure why this delivery has taken so long.

FUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuUCK. 

I know some people preferred EP 1, but I thought it was exceptional. Set pieces like the opening level when the portal causes the train/bridge to collapse were amazing! Some very nice fights too.

Valve have a very good grasp on what makes FPSs tick IMHO. 

Is pretty awesome!

It boils down to a tower defence game mixed with 3d person action combat. There are 2 phases to the gameplay, you start a wave in build mode and can setup defences and upgrade your towers using mana as a currency (which is spawned in finite amounts from chests and can also be picked up from killed enemies). Then once you are happy with your setup you start the combat phase where trains of mobs try to reach various nodes on the map and destroy the crystals located there. In the combat phase you still have complete control of your character and can attack enemies and repair/upgrade and place new towers as you gain mana.

There are 4 classes all with different towers and attacks/special abilities. They combo together really nicely and the game supports up to 4 players at the same time.

It also gets brutally difficult on the harder game modes, there is a lot of strategy involved in setting up a good defence and protecting your crystals. It's all around well made fun, theres a demo available on steam so check it out :D 

I figured you guys here would get a kick out of this:
