The first two aged very poorly. I'd say just get Blood Money.
Not surprising, but lovely news nonetheless.

Yay! Mark of the Ninja, I hope soon.
My "wait 6 months on XBLA purchases" method has been paying off great lately.
I thought there was a reason the art look similar to Shank at first glance.
Tbh though, I wasn't very impressed with Shank. Sure, it had great production values, but for a beat em up, the controls weren't nearly tight and responsive enough.

I knew it'd show up eventually. Glad I held off on buying it on Live. Something I'm going to start doing more of.

Achievements also appear in-game in the "Performance" section.

I would be in so much trouble with this.

pwaise the lawd!
If only there was a chance for Shadow Complex and some Japanese XBLA/PSN games to show up on Steam. Oh well...
I wouldn't say they have aged poorly, but they are far more unforgiving than Blood Money. However, Hitman 2 still has some of my favourite missions such as 'Basement Killing' and 'Invitation to a Party'.
Nice! I love stealth-games and was already afraid I'd never get a chance to try this one.
Great news, but they already stated it would come to Steam
Shank had a 2 month 'delay', so I hope this one comes sooner

Yes!
This is better. I wasn't a big fan of Shank but the trial of Mark of the Ninja shows that it's fantastic.

Please don't be GFWL.

Their previous releases on Steam have used Steamworks features.

Those were published by EA and this is Microsoft Studios.

And Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet used GFWL. Although maybe MS isn't publishing the PC version. *hope*

And? Toy Soldiers is getting a Steamworks patch and we don't know if MS is actually publishing on PC (or PS3 where this will presumably end up as well).
I started up RAGE again for the first time this year to give me something to do until Borderlands 2 comes out.
I still really like this game and I hope they can squeeze a sequel out before next gen although I guess Doom 4 is up next now. The game still looks amazing if you don't get 2 inches away from something. If they can figure out how to make a better open world game, like add a LOT more stuff to do on the side, then it will be perfect.
I also hope the game explores some of the more cool things we usually just see in this game. Like I want to fly or at least ride on one of those airships, maybe have a shootout on one.

The developer was pretty adamant on twitter that they can't do PSN due to Microsoft publishing which leads me to believe they will be publishing the PC version too. True that MS may not force GFWL as much now, but both ITSP and Iron brigade still had it recently. But yeah, we can hope for steamworks, playing the XBLA version now and the game is fantastic.

Well...
To be honest though, I don't mind them taking their time with RAGE 2. I had my fill for some time and I'm actually up for Doom 4.
That said, I 100% agree on the bolded.
Aw, yeah. Game looks so sweet. And judging by the reviews, it seems like the Shank guys finally have put it together and created something real cool.

Feeling kinda generous today, so how about the first person to quote gets a copy of Hitman: Blood Money?

I'd say the second still has some really good levels but the mechanics can definitely be odd, especially after playing Blood Money. It's still a great game and worth playing.
Aye.

Is the Big Picture Mode something that we automatically get rolled into for Beta testing or how does once get an invite into it.
The release a new video and only state that "you can try it now by hitting this button", but I have not button????
I want to really try this out as I currently game on a big screen tv so for me this will be perfecto!

You're in the US right? Could you host? If spk is till up we're 3/4.
You can either manually check for a client update via the file menu (if you're in the beta already) otherwise you'll get prompted eventually.

What does the PC port do that the XBox version doesn't? I figured it already ran at 1080p/60fps.

As far as I know there's nothing. PC is just my main platform and I'm trying to phase out the 360 and get used to waiting for games to be ported rather than just jumping on them the day they are released.
Same just restarted Steam.

Just started it up. Is it a public beta, or did I just magically get in?
Everyone has it.

Restart your client and it'll be there.
