I've seen this question being asked (and answered!) at least 5 times now. And I'm totally ok with it.
What I do in these situations is ask myself: will I start playing it in a week or less? If the answer is no, I'll wait.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Gotta +1 this. I was really surprised with how much I enjoyed Fortix 2. Though I loved Qix back in the day too, so it shouldn't have been quite as surprising.
I think he is probably largely responsible for her success.
Seems there's Torchlight II Beta Weekend, for (Edit: some of) those with a Runic Games account. I received this e-mail about 12 hours ago:
It's not being delivered via Steam, however. That said, given the beta is being opened up, it can only mean that the release date is around the corner. I'm thinking mid-June.
:brofist
That'll make for a great conversation starter should I bump into her at TIFF later this year.

did so too but no love from Runic for me :/
Oh, bugger.
I assumed it was an open weekend seeing as people have been invited into the beta proper over the past week or two.Or, just buy stuff when it reaches a price that you are happy with and feel the company deserves. If you bought it for $5 but it goes down to $2.50, is that lost $2.50 really that bad? Not if the game was worth $5 to you. It's all up to personal valuation and whatnot, dawg!

Holy shit, now I'm ashamed that I didn't guess that first thing.
The Darkness II for 20 bucks on Steam: http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/the-darkness-ii-standard
Wish that effing site would ever take my credit card.
Also, lol at Driver San Francisco's "Needs a Modern PC" requirement: http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/driver-san-francisco

So what do you guys think about the upcoming X-COM: Enemy Unknown (remake/reimagining by Firaxis)? Yay or nay?
Can you point me to a good video/article?
hah, I'm immune to this price! Sometimes it's actually good to have a huge backlog and finals coming up.

Oh, bugger.
Yeah nothing here, you would think being the final weekend all those who had pre-order would get to play the beta. I guess going in the game fresh will be a silver lining.
This video is what makes me have faith in Firaxis: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/01/06/why-firaxis-loves-xcom.aspx
Jake Solomon seems like the perfect lead.

RPS has a bunch of interviews with the devs posted. I've gone from casually interested to counting the days after reading them.
Have you taken a peek at Xenonauts yet? There's a kickstarter for it on right now and they have a very robust demo. If you want your X-Com to be as close to the original as possible, Xenonauts is definitely for you.
Glass Rebel
Member
Thank you, gonna take a look.
I'm actually doing exactly that, skimming the articles on RPS.
Xenonauts intrigues me too but I've never actually played X-Com so I like that there are two projects going on, something for the old-school and something modern
I'm cautiously optimistic that it will turn out to be one of the few remakes this generation that isn't awful and actually captures the spirit of the original.

Wrong x-com game silly.
Metalmurphy

lol yeah. And isn't the other one a FPS, not a TPS?

I assumed we were talking about the remake being made by Firaxis, not the one being made by 2k...

If I buy Deus Ex HR from GMG, will I be able to buy the DLC on Steam at some later point and everything will work okay?
Glass Rebel
Member
Yes. You can even buy the DLC from somewhere else since you get a Steam redeemable code.

Yeah, that's weird. I guess "Sword and Sorcery" did okay on Steam?
Strange nonetheless.
Or Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes.

I shouldn't have read those X-COM interviews. Motherfucker made me excited about something I had no prior knowledge of.

Sweet, I was looking for this the other day. I imagine it will come with the lovely GFWL.

You were warned!
Such is the promise of bestX-Com I'd completely forgotten about the FPS cash-in. Yuck.

With all due respect to Valve, Sir Roderick is definitely not above the legal drinking age.
Wait, there's TWO X-com remakes?
If there's an isometric x-com game coming out, I'll be all over that. The TPS one can die though.

Thank you for being the keeper of the Steam family lore. I appreciate the information being transmitted in this digestible way.

Yup. And the isometric one seems to be generating much more excitement while the tps version keeps getting pushed back and hasn't even been spoken of in quite awhile.
