Whoa, when did they remove 'The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena' from the store? I already own it on both Steam and GOG, but was thinking about gifting it to a friend :/. Really like that game.

I'm betting 50% off.

I'm only debating buying Tomb Rider because I don't know if I'll play it before a price drop.

Same here. I mean I could definitely find the time to play it in the next few weeks here, but I don't know if I'm gonna play it again if I can get a new computer later this year.

Max Payne 3 is a really fun game and probably has the best player movement and physics interaction of any Rockstar game, if anything it's more difficult than the first two but don't listen to anyone who tells you it's a cover shooter, they don't know how to play
It's really good, but there are a couple of sections where you are forced to stay behind cover, if you don't want to feel the hot embrace of lead. Some moments were really frustrating though
like that stupid crumbling hotel roof, or the final shootout at the hangar
 
Once again chrome can't keep up with JaseC's avatar changes.

That's the one I really wanted. Thank you.
If you're planing on playing it, you may be interested in the widescreen mod. EDIT: I see Megasoum already mentioned it a few posts above. I haven't tried it yet, but next time I replay it I will.

"Show me you've got big cojones, and not some very little chiquito ones!". I love that game.

Did you play on a controller? I found the mouse controls for VC to be unplayable due to sensitivity only adjusting one axis and being way sensitive out of the gate.
Nah, always K&M. I found them very comfortable, actually, and aiming with the mouse felt perfectly fine to me.

And Square not letting me buy Last Remnant. Had to create an account and it's not sending me my email validation. Why won't you let me give you money??

Guess I'll wait to see if it comes back. If not I'm going to have to contact technical support. Sigh.

I was thinking about getting that as a gift for someone. Now I will wait to see what happens to you.

Yeah, I'm trying to pick up Deus Ex, but they won't send me the email confirmation either. lame.

And that Widescreen fix doesn't work for the Steam version of Vice City, only SA.
 
Mars: War Logs looks somewhat interesting.

Like "Of Orcs & Men which I probably will never buy or play because I keep forgetting about it" interesting.

A few regulars here have bought it already. I'm anxiously awaiting feedback.

There are too few sci-fi ARPGs in the world.

I just wanted to make sure, because I didn't explicitly specify what was in it, and someone had already taken the other of the two.
yeah, I was going for Cargo Commander but was too late and saw someone else thank you for that and just figured whoever else got Pid went the other, ungrateful, route or messaged you privately.

The first one? SWEEEEET game, you couldn't have made a better choice.

But is Black Mesa released on Steam store?
Not yet, but it was Greenlighted eons ago. Way before Cry of F.E.A.R.'s devs were even born.

Can someone quickly explain this CS:GO update to me - does this mean that I HAVE to pay to play on these new maps?

No, it means you have to pay if you want to get a badge and play the maps in constant rotation on official Valve servers. It has zero effect on community servers using the maps.

The money goes to the mapmakers and friends can just join through you without purchasing it.

I believe it's if you pay the dosh you get to play the maps on official dedicated servers (Under Casual Classic) but you can play them on any community server that chooses to run them for free.

EDIT - As Stallion says :p


Mars War Logs looks very interesting, combat reminds me a lot of Witcher 2. I'm sure it'll be a Euro RPG with a lot of jank, the type I usually end up enjoying the most :p

Ah thanks - I only ever play on community servers anyway.
