Also, I'm curious where I can see the X-Bundle at (can't find a link). Also, how do you guys find out about all these different bundles?

By now, I basically know/get notified when the different bundle suppliers will change/offer something new.
Speaking of which: the Indie Gala Flashpoint Happy Hour is currently on. (Pay once for 2-4 gift copies)



Man, the X Rebirth soundtrack is amazing. The station announcements are pretty funny too.

I keep reading HammerFIGHT as HammerWATCH. Disappointment every time.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed: I should have bought this game before, it's fun and is a big improvement over the previous game. I was surprised to see the game running in my crap laptop, of course it's not running in 1080p with 60fps.

The gameplay is solid but I still need to get used maneuvering the boats and planes, but I'm doing fine so far. Other positive point are the racing tracks, seeing it changing during the course of the race is a nice experience and again it's a great improvement over the previous game. The exclusives PC characters appears to be very fun, I've been playing with General Winter he makes me laugh with his lines.

I can see myself spending a lot of time with this game, especially to unlock every piece of content.

Thank you for Red Orchestra 2

Thanks, I'll pass on the guest passes for Killing Floor once I figure out how.

... Ok, ill admit, i thought this was that game. First to quote me can have the key seeing i wont play it.

 

[RionaaM]

Well the bad guys in X3 Reunion are called the kha'ak, so when doing the story missions you get to hear dudes say things like:

"I've got cock on my tail"
"oh my god, so many cocks"
"I can't shake this cock"

And so forth.

If this is true, it may very well be the best game ever made just for that.

 

[RS4-]

arts, thanks for RO!

 

[arts&crafts]

no problem, don't worry about the guest passes they gave me like 5 too, but I am sure no one wants them.

[kurahador]

Man...so many turn-based strategy games all of a sudden---Ironclads Tactis, Arma Tactics, Agarest.

 

[Ingueferroque]

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

The Astronauts has released four in-game screenshots from the first few minutes of its upcoming title, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The team does not plan to have any cut-scenes in the game, meaning that these screenshots all derive from actual gameplay. And it looks surprisingly amazing with high-resolution textures, open-world environments and beautiful forests.

In The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, you play as Paul Prospero, an occult detective who receives a disturbing letter from Ethan Carter and realizes that the boy is in grave danger. When Paul arrives in Ethan’s home of Red Creek Valley, he realizes things are even worse than he imagined. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which Paul comes to see might not be the only murder to investigate. Using both regular and supernatural detective skills, Paul must figure out what happened to the missing boy.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter will be played via a firs-person perspective, in which players will be able to explore and interact with the environment in order to discover the truth. Paul has a supernatural gift that allows him to visualize the final moments of anyone who’s been murdered. The more clues players discover, the clearer and longer Paul’s vision.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is currently being developed for the PC, but the team hopes to port it on next-gen consoles at a later date.

Enjoy!

[The_Monk]

That game is looking really good and interesting fellow GAFfer. I do hope they release for next-gen consoles too. Loving the relaxing colors on those screenshots.

 

[derExperte]

You are welcome.

Here is another giveaway for these who missed my previous one. Some games are still available.

Got Rocketbirds, thanks.

If this is true, it may very well be the best game ever made just for that.

Adam Sessler made a hilarious review video for X3 at G4TV but it seems impossible to find.

 

[SpankmasterC]

Getting an Alan Wake vibe from those screens, which is always a good thing!

 

[The Super Bob]

Just bought La-Mulana with card money, not gonna play today though.

Anyway I got gifted a copy of Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 on here a couple of weeks ago. The game also gave me two guest passes (which give access to the full game for a limited time) to gift. So if anyone wants one of those let me know or add me on steam. I don't know how long they activate the game for though.

I got the same vibe, it looks like North West America. The Astronauts are actually located in Poland.

Two great classic for a excelent price: Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle $3.75

Two great classic for a excelent price: Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle $3.75

Indeed. While the remake of 1 is rather rough around the edges, the remake of 2 is godlike.

 

[TheSeks]

Well, Steam's support is kinda bad. Basically they told me "oh well go to these pages or our community pages for support." When all I want a refund if Infinity Ward/Activision can't make their own title boot-up without having to put something in your Mic/Headphone ports. :/

(Yes, I solved it, but it's the principal of the matter of what is a stupid workaround)

 

[Sullichin]

This might have been posted already... Saw on slickdeals that Batman Arkham Origins preorder is $35 on GMG until Tuesday, use code: TAREM-LL4F4-NEKOG

Not sure if I want to jump on Shadow Warrior day1. It looks really fun though.

 

[BorntoPlay]

Yes it is...This bundle also has discount, but I'll wait for a better deal: Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack $8.75

 

[morningbus]

You may also be able to snipe codes for the game off eBay for about $25

 

[Copons]

Indeed. While the remake of 1 is rather rough around the edges, the remake of 2 is godlike.

If only they didn't completely remove, even from "classic version", iMUSE from MI2 (and worse, mixing volumes of ex-iMuse effects somewhat randomly, like the crows on the gate of the graveyard), that was really really a huge technical improvement...

Totally off-topic, but man, your avatar always reminds me of Jeff Lynne (ELO's frontman). I mean, just look at him:

Every time I look at your avatar I can totally imagine him singing "Telephone line".

If it's anything like the BioShock problem, you should try enabling Stereo Mix from the sound options. You may have to update your audio drivers before doing that.

 

[Turfster]

Yes it is...This bundle also has discount, but I'll wait for a better deal: Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack $8.75

Eh, I wasn't a big fan of the Telltale Monkey Island games.
They missed the fun and flavor of the first 2 (3 if I'm generous) original games, and had way too much stupid padding content, like the damned mazes...

If only they didn't completely remove, even from "classic version", iMUSE from MI2 (and worse, mixing volumes of ex-iMuse effects somewhat randomly, like the crows on the gate of the graveyard), that was really really a huge technical improvement...

True, but I understand why they did it.
People want "full orchestral quality" these days, and it would be really hard to do something iMuse-like for not too much money that would sound good.

 

[Fenror]

Guys I hope you've been talking about Ironclad Tactics 'cause it's goddamn amazing!

 

[Copons]

True, but I understand why they did it.
People want "full orchestral quality" these days, and it would be really hard to do something iMuse-like for not too much money that would sound good.

I know, I know, but I think of all the people playing it for the first time, missing one of what were the core features of that game.

They could have used iMUSE original score for the classic version only.

Or they could have just given the choice to the player, as it's not that nowaday implementing a game with two audio tracks is all that expensive...


But anyway, fact is that if you want to play the real original version today, you're still bound to SCUMMVM, when they easily could have offered people something more.

This said, MI2 special edition is WAAAAAAAAAY better than MI1 and its horrible chara design.

 

[Turfster]

I know, I know, but I think of all the people playing it for the first time, missing one of what were the core features of that game.

They could have used iMUSE original score for the classic version only.

It wouldn't surprise me if nobody at Lucasarts still remembered how iMuse worked/had the code, and it's not like they could just take SCUMMVM's code for it. "Better to start from scratch", they probably thought.

Getting an Alan Wake vibe from those screens, which is always a good thing!

as long as it doesn't have such a shitty ending

well the PC version released with the DLC that supposedly made the ending better so maybe your experience was better than mine

 

[Turfster]

Alan Wake was still a shitty action game getting in the way of what could have been an incredibly atmospheric thriller, and the DLC doesn't really fix the non-ending, so...

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

I put a link up to this interview a few pages back man, I'm guessing you didn't spot it since you put the Ethan Carter stuff up there, but if your interested in the game, you should give this a read. Gives some good info and links the excellent little prequel comic strip they made awhile ago for the game. Very excited about this one!

I think I might go on a GTA Marathon, GTA 1,3,4 will probably be the most tedious to play again, but the rest should be good, I've never played the Tales from Liberty City so that would be interesting.
