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?

Hunted: The Demons Forge 
Anyone ever play that?

The trailer looks kinda mint.

25% off on Steam. I'm semi-tempted. 
 
All these new Painkiller games are really just DLC's and expansion packs. At least the new one is only $10 on Steam. Although I wouldn't pay that, it doesn't look good enough for any money when it's only got 5 levels (and 4000 enemies wtf).

There's a Painkiller remake in progress too. The guys behind Necrovision are making it. Fuck knows why, all the crap Painkiller since the original must have ruined that franchise by now. 
 
I loved Fallout 3. 9.5/10.

Here's a review of the game, all DLC's and some worthwhile mods mentioned.

I've just noticed that Rogue Trooper on your review list does not have a release month attached to it. It is April of 2006. 
 
Oh yep cheers erc 
Giana Sisters Remake 
 
Looks cool. Not really into sonic type platformers though. Too 90s.

But if they did a fps without that twist idea between dark/light - awesome!!!! 
Dark Souls

It's really pretty crazy just how much better this game can look after you tweak the shit out of it with mods and by butchering the hidden NVIDIA profile settings, compared to the utter mess that is the state of "as shipped by developer". 
Project Hell.

Dead Island mod turned into a game. Two environment screenshots look very nice. Long way off of course. 
 
looks awesome. 2 screenshots and a basic blog for a website isn't a huge start, but could be good if it's finished, one day 
Public Beta Weekend Again 
Anarchy Online Soundtrack 
Dishonoured Soon. 
And this:

Means I will definitely buy it, for that reason alone. 
 
Cause you like Dutch menus? God, that looks painful. I bet it will be just as awkward to use as the Rage one. 
Knob.

Those guys.... 
Damnation / LOTR / Fallout 3 Mods 
Here's a review of Damnation: http://www.etherealhell.com/etherealhell/reviews/2012/damnation.php

Not as bad as it's made out, I gave a 6/10.
Bit of chore in the end though.

Anyone played Lord of the Rings: Conquest? I started the first level (training failed because it wouldn't allow me to pass the combo test), seemed to be pretty shitty gameplay where I died three times - the last time being because the enemies wouldn't move through the fucking door and I couldn't kill them due to a weird invisible wall, and suddenly it says I've failed the mission. No checkpoints and having to start the entire level over each time as well, so I guess it's a fucking shitty game. Might try again in god mode, the levels looked pretty cool.

Been playing lots of Fallout 3 mods as well.
Cube and Orion's game definitely worth playing. Lots of crap that doesn't work though. I've still got several more of the top ones to try. 
 
 
Obviously no one played LOTR Conquest then, lol.

Here's a review of Avatar: http://www.etherealhell.com/etherealhell/reviews/2012/avatar.php

Pretty good actually, 7.5/10. Bit easy and a bit boring after 20 hours. Visuals are awesome though (modified CryEngine). 
Borderlands 2 
Two years back when commenting on BL1 in this thread, I called it Bordomlands and criticized a perceived pointlessness of it all. However, I now realize I had just played it 'wrong'. It's was on singleplayer, but these games are focused on coop and that's where they shine.

I played through the whole of BL2 on coop with le Bal and rebb, rather excessively even, and it was a lot of fun, very enjoyable. It felt like good oldschool FPS action with strong Rage vibe in places, mixed with a crazy WoW-type of looting and item stats mess.
The graphics are cool, fairly crisp and a unique touch to the style, which is important, because otherwise many levels would look like the same old ugly brown from other shooters. Story, characters and humor are cheesy and dumb, but - and that's a major difference between my two BL experiences - on coop it doesn't matter. Most of the time, we didn't even care for any specifics as long as we had stuff to shoot.

I regret not having had a chance to play BL1 the same way - it surely would have left a much different impression. This time, however, it seemed like a right place/right time situation, because it's new and we were all psyched for it. Can't underestimate the value of a good coop team, which wouldn't be possible or be as much fun with random strangers. So GG guys and see you for True Vault Hunter Mode.. ugh :D 
Cars 
DISHONORED?? 
What's the score, bitches?? 
9,5 
 
Dishonored 
Haven't played so much yet, but it's looking really good so far.
But I dunno for you Shambler, if I remember correctly you couldn't get into Deus Ex right? Cause it's a bit similar. 
Bal. 
Yeah of course I got into Deus Ex, I just got a bit bored in Shanghai when there wasn't enough MURDERATION for my chosen gameplay path.
