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:

Well, while the trailer doesn't really get me pumped up for a new GTA (maybe I'm jaded) it looks a lot more enjoyable than GTA4.

Seems pretty colorful, similar to Vice City/San Andreas, which I enjoy more than the drab GTA 4. 

Awesome, totally obvious, but still funny, I like the second part. 

I've never finished one of those games, tbh, but they are super fun. Probably my favourite game to borrow from a friend and play when really fucked up. 

That quake video is hilarious :D And all so true.

if you have the game, apply and I'll accept all you guys :)

Logo is a bit lol, if anyone can come up with something better feel free! 

That quake video is rather sad 

SAS: Secure Tomorrow is the first City Interactive title I've decided to try, having received mixed (but not bad) reviews from Gamespot and IGN. Not sure what game they were playing, but SAS was barely worth the $10 I paid for it.

The game is so short you'll be done in under 3 hours. You start in a prison, followed by a building complex then a snowy base in Greenland. In most games, that would be three levels but City Interactive spreads it out across 10 levels. It's basically just F.E.A.R. inspired room-corridor-room design. Even the outdoor snow levels are just a series of medium sized outdoor areas connected by snowy passageways (corridors). There's no great detail, no setpieces whatsover or even mildly interesting environment backgrounds. Compared to other 2008 games, SAS will be a big let-down, as it looks about as good as games released five years ago. In fact if this was released in 2003/2004 it would have been quite popular, apart from the length.

The engine is a little better than the art, being the Jupiter EX from Lithtech that powered F.E.A.R. and Condemned. But by 2008 this engine is a few years old and hasn't aged well.

Ultimately if you liked the look of F.E.A.R., then SAS is more of the same. Just a little worse.

The gameplay has you fighting terrorists with two comrades. Unfortunately they are a beefy source of frustration, constantly getting in your way. They run into rooms gung hoe because they're invicible, but they're also really bad shots and often will just stand around not shooting and often facing towards you while there's enemies RIGHT BEHIND THEM. Perhaps it's a good thing, otherwise they'd complete the entire game for you.

You get some variety with plenty of weapons, although they're all very similar machine guns, but all fairly fun. The enemies have mixed AI, sometimes retreating to cover. But overall it's quite an easy game. I probably only died a few times on medium difficulty, mostly due to being reckless. Sometimes you need to be careful and lean around corners using cover, while you can also run into a room blasting. It's the kind of gameplay I enjoy.

So overall, below average design and extremely short length, but it's generally kind of fun. If you can find it for under $10 and have absolutely nothing else to play, then it's perhaps worth a few hours of your time.

Rating: 4.5/10 

Nice little stealth platformer, fun music and graphics as well, and free!

6.0/10.

Now that I'm up to 2008 (saving 2007s Bioshock and COD4 for later) I'm reviewing some more less popular and obscure stuff. Next up will probably be The Precursors. 

Dedicated servers that might as well not exist because you can't gain any exp/unlocks when playing on them (you have to use P2P matchmaking)?

Locked down fov 65? In an FPS? On PC? Is this a joke?
