I love the idea of this! It's a real shame I don't own Arma2 or I would probably end up playing this mod all night :) 

skyrim is 20$ off this weekend on steam... picked it up finally, but i'm not sure when i'll get to play it. o.o 

 

I just got Alan Wake from GOG.com. I considered buying it in Steam's midweek madness sale but didn't make up my mind in time, then two days later GoG does an even better price with bonus content and absolutely no DRM! Bargain.

I'm underwhelmed by the gameplay, but it's a beautifully crafted world to "explore". I use the term explore loosely as there doesn't seem to be a lot of freedom. So far I'd give it 6/10, but I've only played for forty minutes or so. 

wasn't for me 

fucking steam exposing my cowardice to the world.

Why did no-one tell me this? Looks typical COD garbage from the trailer and I suspect the atmosphere and gameplay will be mostly the utter puerile drivel that COD has become famous for, but the....war machines do look well cool in it....that might even tempt me. 

Finally! Someone has had the vision to do a futuristic war game. I certainly can't recall any first person shooters in recent memory with sci-fi suits and gadgets, or indeed vehicles! 

I do like the idea of riding a horse and being strafed by the starship enterprise. 

Yeah at least they're trying a slightly different setting, and putting horse riding in.

But... "what happens when someone steals the keys?" Seriously? That trailer is pretty fuckin cheesy.

Oh and it shouldn't be called Black Ops. That's just a cash-in. 

I just thought the near future thing was a fair bit cooler than modern....warfare. 

Edited down a bunch of video I captured during the recent stress test for GW2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuliFPFfpMM

The video is pve gameplay using the Guardian class.

The game in short : Fucking amazing :) 

You can currently get Duke Nukem for free on your iPhone. Controls are pretty much impossible to use it seems though. Try switching to dual-stick mode if you want half a chance though. 

Duke Nukem 3D that is

I played a little bit of the original PS back in the day, this sequel looks like it going to blow everything out of the water, wow :)

Torchlight 2 - Beta Update: Upcoming Weekend Stress Test
http://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2012/05/17/beta-update-upcoming-weekend-stress-test/

Path of Exile is doing regular open beta weekends apparently. I missed them all so far... :(

I'm in the Chinese city and while the sky above is very cool I seem to be wondering around a lot of small streets and box rooms, and my kill count is approx 1 pwnage per half hour of playing. Endless talking and getting lost otherwise.

Does the fun and excitement happen soon?? 

Deus Ex isn't an action game. 

I've managed to collect 7 different guns (with modifications) and 3 types of grenade because it isn't an action game. 

What leads you to believe that Deus Ex is an action game? The presence of guns? Guns are one path through the game but that's the not the point - you have other choices and options. Talking is part of it, sneaking another, hacking another.

If you're expecting thrill-a-second gun play, you made a poor decision. 

reinstalling Deus Ex to make a lethal playthrough. 

The main character in Taxi Driver carries three different guns. Clearly an action film. 

It's current on sale at greenmangaming.com for �3.99 and the key they send you can be used on Steam.

Really. I never knew that about Deus Ex.
