Not as good as Crysis 1, but better than Crysis 2.Nekrono said:

If you join 2K's Steam Group and buy one item from today's sale, you're entered to win one of three 2K Complete Packs daily.

It's a great game. I finished it over the weekend and was completely satisfied with it.
Yeah, and don't play it like GTA. Play it in a linear fashion and enjoy it for what it is.

The missions and story are lightyears ahead of GTA IV, which makes it quite enjoyable.

I thought 2K had more than 46 titles on Steam. I guess the next 3 sales will probably be Bioshock (both I and II), Borderlands and Civ (probably just 5). Didn't realize this until now but apparently for the GTA series on Steam, Rockstar is listed as the publisher and not 2K.

Rockstar has always been a publisher for all their own games. You might have Take-Two and 2K confused (Take-Two owns both 2K and Rockstar, but both are seperate publishing labels).Gully State said:
Will jump on BioShock if it goes on sale. Thinking about getting Mafia + II. How is the first one holding up today, I remember enjoying it way back, does it feel very dated now?

Were either of the Mafia II DLC any good? I still need to go back and finish the main game someday...

I'm playing through Mafia II right now. I like the characters and the personality of the game alot, and the shooting is good but nothing special.
Only real complaint is that I can't stand the constant driving around. You gotta drive everywhere to get to every mission and it feels like the driving takes longer than the missions. It's a chore, I keep thinking there is an "auto-travel" on the minimap that I'm missing or something. Maybe there is...
Overall though it has kept me playing. If the constant barrage of driving wasn't such a wet blanket, I would love it more.

It looks good, but my god you have to drive slowly (which is really irritating at the startmojiimbo said:
when you have to drive your taxi all over new york
Also, there's a mission pretty much at the start that's a total pain in the ass (
the one where you get beat up and have to limp away to safety through back alleys with guys shooting at you

Mafia II is a linear, narrative driven action game set in an open world. I loved the game from start to finish, easily one of my favorite games from 2010. I bought all of the DLC in the last sale and started another play-through on Hard but got distracted by newer, unplayed games.
From everything I've read, Joe's Adventure is worthwhile whereas Jimmy's Vendetta isn't. But given that you can buy all of the DLC for less than the cost of Joe's Adventure at full price, I just grabbed all of it last time.
Mafia II is easily worth 10$, easily.

Guess it depends on how much you want the DE extras:

Joe's Adventure is pretty good . . . it is like the main campaign but with many cut scenes missing. I highly recommend Joe's Adventure (and Mafia 2 in general). Jimmy's isn't so hot . . . seems kinda bare-bonesExuro said:

Jimmy's Vendetta is supposed to be more open world activities.
TheExodu5 said:Speaking of which, I need to figure out how to get third party controllers working with the game. I really want to get my Super Famicom CC working with SMB.
I thought the SNES CC didn't have a usb port and need to be connected to a a wii controller to function? or does it actually have a usb cable?
Well, I played some "The Wonderful End of the World", and over all, the game is fun if really short.
The easiest way to describe the game play is that it is a Katamari Clone. You go around stages, pick up stuff, and get bigger. The game only has 3 stages, but the main problem is none of them are over 5 minutes long, and most are only 2 or 3 minutes in length, making the game really short. It also doesn't keep track of just what object you pick up, so you can't even try to collect one of everything. The stages are small, and often just end with black, plus getting though tight spaces can be a bit problematic. There is no way to adjust resolution, it onyl has 4:3, you can't change the controls, and I could not get my 360 controller to work with it, despite having a gamepad option.
But overall, the game was pretty enjoyable. 3 of the stages had really nice art styles and themes in them, and it was decently enjoyable to replay the stages to get max rank.
But, it only took 97 minutes to beat the game, and get every achievement. So mainly, I would recommended you play it if you pick it up in some other pack, or the game is dirt cheap.
