Played this recenly and really wanted to enjoy it, but in retrospect I feel like I wasted my time by playing it. Every level, while uniqe in design, goes on forever and is HIGHLY repetitive.
They had a few good ideas and for some reason wanted to make a 20 hour game with them. Didn't work out.

Yes! I've been waiting for Alice to go on sale.
£2.99 in the UK. :/

LA Noire I found to be soooooo repetitive. Honestly had to force myself to finish it.

Hey posted in the DD thread but I can help withthe US price as well. Sitting here at work with really nothing to do because of the holiday. Drop me a pm if you need it.
And, quite contrary, I found it super interesting. Over 100h of play
Anyway, if anyone needs some help getting MP3 or Alice from UK, I'm online.

Edit. Can anyone see the Sleeping Dogs page? Wanted to preorder but all I can find is Prima Guide.

I was *this* close to doing the same. Thank goodness I decided to wait! (To be honest, after downloading ME through Origin I'm not a hater anymore, but I just love Steam way too much)
I almost never log into Origin, but I'm pretty sure the Steam version gets added to your Origin library too. You're forced to enter your account info to play, and they use that to add it to your library.

That's some cold shit right there. Why do think it's that bad? Did you dislike the platforming and/or combat? I've tried Madness Returns, rather enjoyed what I played of it, the mechanics were serviceable but the atmosphere is amazing, it's a beautiful and stylised game, love the overall aesthetic of the characters and environments. At 6$ I'll add it to my Steam collection.
I think I might pick up Alice.

it's cheaper on GMG if I recall, if that matters to you.

Oh man, I was going to purchase Alice but apparently I bought it during one of the Steam sales.
It's kinda sad. I have such a big backlog that I don't even know what games I own anymore.

5.99$ apparently translates to 9.99. I'm glad I got this as a gift from a Canadian friend last year.
Yeah, I read that a lot and apparently it was not a very good port.
By the way, if anyone needs help getting MP 3, shoot me a message. Only 45$ here.

I just found it very drab from a gameplay perspective and the environments were dragged out to the point where they became completely uninteresting visually.
Alice is one of the very few games I'd say is *too long*.
I normally like long games, but Alice drags it's levels and concepts well beyond the point of them being redundant and boring.
Whereas most games introduce you to a new concept/puzzle with an easy version, then a harder one, then pushing the complexity to it's furthest. Alice just does the middle one 50 times over in a level.

It's £2.99 for the UK. That's a 3.74
It's not much, but relatively quite a big difference.

I started Alice not too long ago just to never touch it due to the floaty controls (jumps). They are just aweful
Felt exactly the same. Had to force myself to finish the game.
Only thing that kept me going was the art style and the fact that it had been a while since last playing a platformer.

Big thanks to the awesome GAFfer that gifted me Alice. You are to kind my friend.
Huh, seems Alice is $9.99 here for some reason. For $4.99, though, I'd recommend everyone gave it a shot just for the artstyle and only if you got a controller. I kinda like 3D platforming so I didn't mind the floaty controls and combat was kinda fun, but the game drags on and on so long that you start to hate what you're doing.
I'd recommend normal difficulty, by the way. I played it on hard, hoping for a decent challenge, and I got it, but it just made the game longer, and in the end I wasn't really having fun with it.

Oh shi... just when I got my life back. Well, I'll just ski..... Thank you for your order.
I already posted in the Steam Gifting thread, but I think the offer is about to expire, so I'm gonna throw it in here too. Is there a friendly UK GAF'er who can gift me the Max Payne 3 pre-order with LA Noire? I can Paypal of course. Steam ID is Zoro. (And feel free to add me regardless of my question, always nice to have a healthy pool of players to game with.)

27/30 for me. I know, this is getting old but man, pubs could be a bit less open about how they fuck us over.
