Bit.Trip Runner is 90% memorisation. If you ignore all the neat flashy animation, it's basically Simon. The levels all get easier the more you play them, so what seemed hard at first eventually becomes pretty trivial.

I love the game!! first time with this saga, Bit.Trip.Beat is good?
Beat is very good and very different, but I'm assuming you've looked at videos of it. If you enjoy that as well, look into Flux and Core on Wii, and if you really love those Fate and Void are worth checking out.

I don't understand why they couldn't just let me lower the difficulty without having to replay all the levels.
You'd probably be quicker restarting on easy. World 3 has some bullshit moments that will make you want to chuck a controller.
you can still win!

Maybe. I didn't have any issues with the difficulty before the 1st boss though. Everything felt fairly difficult and everything on the boss as well, but man, the 2nd set of UFOs, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Ah, just noticed I wrote 1-11 when I meant the boss level. 1-11 was easy.
Lowering the difficulty won't help you out on the boss. The only difference between Normal and Easy is Easy doesn't have the gold bars to distract you.
Love the winter achievements, it actually makes me play my games . Started Bit.Trip Runner this afternoon to get them and ended up playing for three hours on perfect difficulty. I have Zone 1 cleared, but the bonus levels are on a completely different difficulty scale oO. Anyway, was pleasently surprised by how good the game is.
As for the other games, I already did:

Yeah, it's a great introduction to shmups. It starts out easy, but can eventually ramp up to near-insane difficulty as you unlock more difficulty settings.

I didn't see one present on Counter Strike Source, how does that one work?
That was me. I deliberately played it this morning just because of all the grumbling and got it my first game. I'm stealing it all this Holiday

I've unlocked chapter 4Ah shit, second level on difficult is enough for me
But god, some of the ships suck with the mouse. I don't like the keyboard cause I can't move diagonally and the mouse has serious latency (WTF Charge?!) with the vulnerable spot. Naturally, Guy Fawkes has the best ship.

Hey, did they ever add that analog melee combat stuff to Dead Island on the PC? Listening to Brad Shoemaker talk about it made it seem like it was really the way to play the game.
Also my 2cents - I'd wait until the sale to buy Dead Island. It's a Steamworks title, too, so if any other reseller has a daily deal for it you can take advantage of that.

Analog combat was always in the PC version, it's just controller only. I fucking hate Giant Bomb.

Never really got into Cave Story but just loaded it up today and man what fun little game. Tone reminds me a lot of Mega Man for some reason.
Damnit! They even followed it up a second week and made it seem like that wasn't in the PC version. I really like the Giant Bomb guys, but they're more entertaining than accurate sometimes, particularly with PC stuff

Does Quake II not have full screen or something? It looks windowed.

Truth. The Dead Island video was the last thing I'll ever watch from them, between "derr I dunno how you would play this on PC lols" and "derr this game has a crafting system, ya know, like, they has in mmos" I just can't believe that anyone takes them seriously.
You should check out TotalBiscuit on YouTube for quick-look style videos which aren't narrated by someone who knows bugger all about games, though his voice annoys the crap out of some people.

Where did they imply it wasn't in the PC version?

The Magicka acheev is fun as heck. Randomly freezing people and shattering them.

Giant bomb is great haters gonna hate.
I do really enjoy TB's videos too! Just about through the WTF-a-thon now
I'd have to go back and listen, but I'm pretty sure they mentioned it in the podcast and possibly the quick look as well.
and i guess Jim Jam is doped up on Bongs?

You're wrong.

They explicitly say they figure after plugging a control in you can use analog melee. Nice accusation though.

shit I completely forgot it's tomorrow. I'm flat out broke too lol
Usually I have $100 ready at least but I had to get new speakers for the new tv, the ones in the tv were awful.
Jesus Christ, gaming sites - serious business. He even stated he wasn't sure and just remembering... calm down.

How does that affect what you said they implied? That video is specifically talking about what he said over the course of the Quick Look. You were questioning the inclusion of the feature as a whole into the PC version. You already know from the quick look they didn't say anything to the contrary.
Free reign to then call people out for incompetence? Whatever floats your boat.
Okay, I guess I totally misremembered it, then! Sorry to have offended anyone's sensibilities with my baseless accusations.
It's not much like L4D besides having zombies. It's more of Borderlands/MMO style where you gather some quests, go do them all in about the same area, then go turn them in. Just like Borderlands, probably worth it if you have somebody to play co-op with, but single player gets a little drab.
I've only played some of the first area, the beach and resort, so I'm not sure how much it changes when you get into the city area later on.
Did you miss the part where I said he wasn't even sure and couldn't remember it well? It's one thing to correct someone, it's another to be a dick about it.
