Hi, if you are still interested in Dirt3, I have got an extra copy that can be given away. Last time when Humble Bundle was giving it away, I grabbed a copy, but later when trying to activate it at Steam, I was reminded that I have already got it in my Steam Library, upon which I remembered that I had got it in a previous Humble Bundle. So, dear Mugwump, if you care, just write down your E-mail address and I will send the activation code to you. Hopefully the code still works. My Friend, I am extremely sorry for letting you down again.
Upon checking the code page, I was confronted by this message: "...The redemption deadline is November 19th, 2016 at 10:00 AM Pacific. You have 0 days left!" And the code itself is no longer visible! Can't tell you how awful I feel about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9jf-0DeWD0
Old video, shows lots of gameplay though. Obviously a terrible player and pre-pre-pre-minus-alpha build but, well, it is what it is. Sometimes one will be in the mood for an utterly bog-standard iso-RPG set in a snowy world, and this might be it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HnY1VHeLSA
A squad based FPS using the Marathon 2 engine. you control a squad of marines and wipe out extremist groups. bought this in the bargin bin for $10 back in ~1999. The intro song is by a band named Death. Years later I was at a used media store and found a CD by a band named Death. Bought it based soley on the name and album cover. The game had somewhat escaped my memory so i was pleasantly surprised when the intro to Damage Inc came up on my recently purchased CD. I really think this game was ahead of its time. You choose a squad of marines from like 8 or so guys. they each have their own stats and dialogue. I always chose Metal and Banzai as a kid. You can give them orders like "Search and Destroy", which along with the title "Damage Inc", is another Metallica reference. This Tweet from Nightdive Studios says their remastered version of the 90s FPS Turok now has a level editor and Steam Workshop integration. That's good of them.

played it in '99 and some time after that i lost the cd ages ago... i remember bridges, lots of rope bridges ; for some reason Claim the free racing game "Grid" at

Anyone played this? Just bought it in Steam Winter Sale and found it quite a pleasant retro FPS game. A review: http://www.bagogames.com/intrude-review/ It's as boring as it looks. Not sure why these retro fps devs opt to emulate wolfenstien 3d rather than, say, doom.
A sci-fi Dark Souls type of game, looks neat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88iUrWaORE4 I can just picture the meeting where that game was conceived: A bunch of producers sat around a large table, looking around blankly at each other for an hour. Occasionally one of them looked off into the distance thoughtfully, then opened his mouth as if to say something, but then sighed and had another sip of his coffee instead. Eventually it was lunchtime, and yet still not a word had been said. One producer - the hungriest-looking and most eager to be the first one down the pub - finally broke the silence. "Fuck it, let's just do Dark Souls but with robots".
Ha ha, yeah, though to be fair the same can be said for a vast majority of the games out there. If id hadn't copied Maze War, we wouldn't have had the masterpieces that are Doom, Doom II and Quake...
And The Surge still looks cool. |
