War Thunder, tricky subject to judge depending on who you are. First thing you will want to know is if it is F2P or P2W ( Thats what the kids say now right? )Good news is its not needed to spend any money to progress. I have spent a whopping 0$ and feel like at no disadvantage. To be honest I don't see ANY reason to pay money, if I had an option to get free $ for a F2P game this would not be it as I see no purpose.
What can you buy? Each faction has planes locked for money only but these are not very good planes and are only about 5% of the total planes in the game. You can also spend$ to increase your rank which is annoying but due to how the Queue works you only are matched against people withing 1-2 levels so doing so may actually put you against better players.
Speaking of Planes lets talk factions. There are 5 factions, each has its own planes. You level up factions independently, meaning you need to master a faction before unlocking all the planes. If you rank up two factions at the same time you will find yourself running low on $.
There is two types of currency in the game. Lions and Eagles, eagles are the paid for currency, lions are the ingame free currency. You get additional lions from kills, hits, assists,wins,completions,logging in ect.
There is a few issues I have which involve the currency. Planes cost lions to be immediately repaired, however its is a small fee, normally 300-500 lions ( you get about 5,000 a game ) Also it costs Lions o train your crew to fly a new plane. Once a crew flys a plane once you will not need to pay to put it into service again. You can buy up to 5 crew slots per faction with Lions, more with eagles. Once a plane dies in game its done for the match assuming you didn't purchase a 2nd life ( Lions only ) However most of the time assuming you are decent this will never happen. You are free to leave whenever you want, never being XP penalized for quiting.
Gameplay wise there are 3 Core Game modes
Arcade : easy controls, unlimited fuel ( Fuel Leaks are present ) start in the air, mixed faction teams
Historical Battle : Hardcore controls, Take of from runway, fixed faction teams (US vs Japan ) historical maps that fit context only ( No USA vs Britain )
Realism mode : Flight simulator to the max, everything in Historical turned up to 10, you need to complete Tutorials to play HB or Realism Mode )
Gameplay wise its very satisfying, crash landings ,high quality destructible planes, awesome cockpits and amazing visuals provide a great experience.
Overall I have 30+ Hours in the game, I am loving it, it does take a bit of time to rank up but the free Lions and Eagles you get really help your economy and you never feel like you need to pay. Also because maps are unlocked as you level up there is always something new and cool you are finding. Whether that be a lightning map at night, attacking pearl harbor or fighting in the desert with the sun in your eyes its always fun.Even if you aren't a fan of plane games I would give this game a go.
9.2/10
Graphics - 9.8/10 (Poor Motion Blur effect on terrain is annoying, game is well optimized)
Sound -9.6/10 ( Not an Expert on planes but they sound great )
Gameplay 9/10 ( Great in game game play slightly bogged down by grindy levels towards to end of a factions ranking system and high priced end game planes )
Community 8/10 ( A lot of rammers which gets annoying but with a active player base of over 15,000+ users at all times this game definitely has legs )

After playing some of the Batman Arkham Asylum challenges, it is pretty clear to me now that I'm way over my head with these things. There's no way I'm gonna get anything more than one badge per combat challenge. So much for going for 100% completion. 
Oh well, on to the next thing I guess. I feel like I might burn out on the Batman formula if I play Arkham City right now, so I'm gonna play War for Cybertron next. Should be good.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I apologize to Salsa and the people of Uruguay for my extra-nasty remarks. I am still hut/upset, but that was not pro of me.
I don't know why but I thought it was just a hard mode variant (ie limited lives) of the main game so I never touched it despite passing over it multiple times. Grats on completing it, sounds insane.

You have my respect. I'm going to finish it myself too but not anytime soon, I got stuck on level 6 (I think) of the 4th door for about 2 hours and I was like: "Nope"

Don't empty your wallet, there's Christmas sale.
My backlog is going to shed tears isn't it!
The best solution is to buy it and not play it.
there will be time to refill in between

Only jase and xelios know backlog.
He sounds like he's new to sales, I would say he didn't have many games in his account.(Or she)

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Is this from the Groupees bundle? I'm checking my profile and it doesn't seem to have a Steam key yet.
Not true for Xelios my friend. He may not play enough for all the games he has but he plays, JaseC on the other hand...

Guardian of the industry.
Some people get off on pain.
Thanks, I didn't know about those levels until I read it here and since I like hard platformers (well, platformers in general), SMB, Giana Sisters, etc, I figured I'd tried them. I didn't imagine it would be this hard though.
Gracias NaM
There are several levels that at first glance seem impossible, but most of it comes to repetition until you start clearing sections and get used to the timing. Of course, that doesn't mean you won't get frustrated in the process.
Now I can quote al Diego "
If we are using quotes from him to do a parallelism with the game something more appropiate in my case would be: "No nos comamos el chamuyo Alemán"
Too sexy.
I don't know but that's a really good question, you get the beep at least.
Well that sucks.

I could very easily find you 1000 games that are worse than ass creed.

As I've said before, the problem with Assassin's creed is not that it is bad...the problem is it is just good enough.

wait, what?
Yes, the last couple of years I enjoyed more playing indie games rather than big budget games, maybe that's because I'm old though.
