I loved Overclocked, but indeed the ending was shit. You should play The Moment of Silence by the same developers, it's a bit older and the character graphics are pretty shit now, but it's my favourite post-Grim Fandango adventure game (though I love Syberia 1 and 2 as well). They also made a newer game, 15 Days, but for some reason, it keeps crashing on 64 bit, so I can't play itepmode said:
.Yeah, good game. Wish White Birds had made another detective game instead of that Nikopol game.Joe Molotov said:

Wat! Productivity -1000speculawyer said:Aaah . . . it is now available for the Mac. Anyway, good time to picked it up for only $5.
It's a Source engine sandbox where you can use Valve game models and objects, and pose things. You can use physics to whatever extent the Source engine allows, I guess, so you can make catapaults or whatnot. You can run around and poke things and maybe shoot things too (I'm not sure if you can use guns, actually).Mr_Zombie said:
I'm also not sure if you can import outside models, but I'd guess there is some way to do it, through the Source SDK or otherwise.
Oh, and of course people use it to make crazy videos, but I don't know that there is much capability for movie-making built into Garry's mod itself.
I have only played with it briefly so I am not an expert. ;_;
Garry's goes beyond just a toybox/sandbox. Because it lets people script together new gameplay modes using Lua, there are a lot of servers running built-up custom games. There's a lot of zombie survival things, some competitive buildings games, and some complete curveball things, like Multiplayer YouTube (which I lost about 8 hours of my life to earlier this year).
Definitely worth dropping the $5 and browsing the server list.

One of my favourites is Trouble in Terrorist Town, where 1-5 people are randomly selected to be traitors and have to kill the remaining terrorists, while the terrorists have to work out who the traitors are and are rewarded for killing the traitors and punished for killing fellow terrorists.
There are also some fun mini-game collections, with stuff like Garry's Ware (Wario Ware but in Garry's Mod), Fort Wars (Build a base out of props and then play CFT), zombie games and some other junk.
Oh, and roleplay servers. They're a little dumb, but it can actually be really fun to get into an RP server and start acting out weird social experiments.
(Sorry that some of the videos suck, hard finding good ones)

I have not used cocaine
Still no impressions on Darksiders? On metacritic is has the same score as the 360 but that might not be the whole story.

I'm really enjoying it, it runs great, and looks pretty good to boot. Definitely the best choice for me, console version I rented didn't run so hot.
By the way, I freaking loved Sinking Island...
I also somewhat enjoyed Nikopol even if just for atmosphere alone.

Hey, wtf how are you guys doing this???
Yeah, I was confused at first. It should probably be added to the OP of that thread...anyway, if you go here: http://www.gamespot.com/event/codes/lara-croft-pc/Joe Molotov said:

And then sign up for the demo, and activate the demo on your Steam account, your pre-purchased game (or the game if you purchase it after installing the demo) will become installable.

Sweet, I just played through the first level, and it's awesome so far. Thanks, Blizzard.

It is largely a toybox. However, people to make mini-game servers that are little FPS games. Of course they generally are not very good.LocoMrPollock said:

Yeah . . . I gave Garry's Mod to a person on the Mac but I forgot about this. But then I realized I had an extra Half-Life 2. So I gave them that. And then Half-Life 2 said it would not run since their GeForce chip in their Mac was not good enough. Garry's Mod would start up but then just crash. :-(
I gave two games but then ended up unable to play either one. :lol

I just have no confidence in the game given it's pretty much Front Mission in name only

Front Mission 3 fans on the PC should look up a game called "Massive Assault."graywolf323 said:
FME might be the best PC mech game released in the last decade almost by default. It's at least competent, and the PC port seemed to run pretty well (it was in 3D at E3). Multiplayer wasn't anything special but the singleplayer might be worth a playthrough.

I want FME, but Civ5 + Dead Rising 2 + Lara Croft say maybe I can wait and see if there's a good Christmas sale on it.

It's like a cross between Dungeon Keeper and Miner Dig Deep. There's a demo on the game's homepage.Spotless Mind said:

Civ games pay for themselves in accidentally skipped meals in no time.
