I've had time to play lots of "Other PC Games" while you've been having this silly discussion, I win once again! 

Why is "Other PC Games" in quotes anyway? Are they alleged games? 

They're not really PC games, they're all just ports of console games. 

Whilst Skrillex is off topic :S 

Starforge. I guess this is what happens when Minecraft has its way with Halo or something? Really interesting looking procedurally generated fps/sandbox thing.

I did vidyuz yo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccMtpenqxI 

the player pain sound is hilarious. :D
i've been wondering how long it would take until someone made a sandbox randomly generated game. i agree about minecraft, btw. making stuff was fun, but the combat didn't really do it for me.
thanks for that video. :)

Now featuring Braid and Super Meat Boy... hey, don't wander off, yeah those are included in every bundle, but what's also in is the extraordinary Lone Survivor!!

So the game will be given to everyone who bought HIB V before today as thanks for early adoption, regardless of what they paid - which means close to 400,000 people will already be guaranteed a copy!

It's an awesome game. 

Here's a Prince of Persia (2008) review

6/10. Shitty combat and jumping, but it's a great looking game.

Ubisofts done some really overated games in 07/08 (Assassin's Creed, Vegas 2). I hope I'm not disappointed by Far Cry 2. 

FC2 was cool though, albeit flawed. 

thats a different PoP, havent played that yet. 

Willem, how much involvement did you have with the Belly of the Beast levels? IMHO, the first set of levels with real atmosphere and they have a Shadar Logoth vibe to them (strange connection but thats what I felt). 

...and has the guy who designed the controls on the buggy thing in Gears 2 been forbidden from ever designing controls again? 

is now available on Steam for a reasonable price.

Getting it cos the original version doesnt work with Win7. Hope WoT makes it someday too. 

Quake scene tidbit: FrikaC is responsible for this new release. it has some bugfixes and polish from what I know. and the soundtrack is included. you can blame me for it being in ogg vorbis. 

some maps are supposed to be redone to remove dead ends and unintended death spots etc 

Just got back from spending five weeks in Vietnam doing serious work stuff (much as I would have liked to have spent that time playing games and arguing about fucking Skrillax and Gears of War).

Actually - on topic, I did play some games over there! Video game shops in Hanoi are hilarious - there are entire streets where every shop is selling pirated games burnt onto discs. It's just how they roll over there. You buy a dodgy chipped console, and pick up a shitload of dodgy games for about a dollar each (I think I bought about 50 of 'em at once) In fact, I don't think it would be possible to buy a legitimate game in Vietnam even if I wanted to. I played Gears of War 2 and 3 that way (split screen) with my mate (can't go online on these hooky consoles) and it was a blast! Shambler you are wrong. 

Ur a great big gayer and I hope you caught 'nad rot over there. 

I've only finished 3 out of 5 Acts so far and it is a flawed game, but I've liked it. I will say this, its worth playing just for Act 3, very atmospheric and cool. 

Did you get a chance to go out and about? 

Why is "Other PC Games" in quotes anyway? Are they alleged games?

Because when I made this fucking thread it was 'Other Games', and included console games like normal rational designers might discuss.

But then Shambler the Tyrannical Cocklord decided that the glorious PC race was somehow suffering by hearing that people enjoyed anything on 360 or PS3. 

Did you get a chance to go out and about?

Yes absolutely. I saw a lot of Hanoi (which was where I was staying). I friggin love the Old Quarter, and met so many cool people there :) As well as doing some daytrips to areas near Hanoi (ancient villages, Ninh Binh etc.), I also spent an awesome weekend on a boat in Halong Bay. During some downtime I managed to do a bit of flying around and I spent some time in the coastal cities of Hue and Hoi An (Hoi An at night is stunning), and I even flew over to Laos to spend the better part of a week chillaxing in Luang Prabang. Sadly I didn't get to see Saigon or any of the rest of the South, but that's for another time I guess.

In fact I loved the country so much, I'm currently figuring out a way to stay in 'Nam in a more permanent capacity. My partner in this game business thingy I'm doing lives in Hanoi, so it would make sense for us to be in the same place.

Are you from around that neck of the woods?
