They should be Mac versions of the game.
I made a new category for Mac games and dump any I get into that category.

body changer desura keys are up, but no greenlight as far as i can see

They're Mac versions and you can't remove them.
See, this is what I don't get and loads of people do this. If you don't like it, why continue playing?
Nothing personal, just curious.
There's only a couple of side missions for each person and since they're really small multiplayer-style maps it doesn't take long to do them.

It can be valuable to understand the bad so as to better appreciate the good.

If it's one game in a series I have played the majority of, I find it very hard to not let my OCD reign. Only recently have I added parts of series to my dumping ground. Warhammer 40K is a recent example. Dawn of War 2 and it's expansions were pretty fun but I found the Dawn of War 1 games to be utterly tedious since I don't particularly enjoy classic RTS gameplay. It was hard, but I finally managed to get them off my play list and accepted the fact that it would just be a waste of time forcing myself through them.

Thanks for the write up and impressions, Derrick01. I haven't played a splinter cell game since the second one was released. I did enjoy the two I played though.
Does anyone know which Splinter Cell game had the demo released that had all the cursing in it? The one where all the guards ran around yelling obscenities at you? I tried that demo and it really made me hate it, lol. My wife's reaction to it was pretty funny though.
Bundlestars has Gothic Universe Edition (1-2 Gold-3) for 80% off (4), single Steam key

Yep it's the complete Gothic Series by Piranha Bytes without the awful G3 standalone addon by indian studio Trine Games.
Thanks for Aerena corrosivefrost!
I'm pretty sure you're talking about Conviction. I don't know about the demo but the main game was laughed at for all the psychotic guards. I think there was even a penny arcade strip parodying it.

Yep, that's the one! Thanks, listening to a vocal sampling on youtube now. Oh man, I'm dying here, lol.
ubiart engine is one of the greatest things to happen to gaming.
Pretty much my thoughts as well (well arbitrary score aside).
While yes it's better than Conviction that isn't exactly a badge of honor. Map layout might well be due to console limitations but that doesn't stop open world games using some cleaver loading tricks. Sadly while moving back to the stealth based gameplay it also brought the other play styles with it as well. It's nice and all trying to cater for a range of tastes but when they are all present at the same time is becomes a jack of all trades, master of none.
I get that some people have said "you don't have to use gadgets" or "well you can set yourself challenges" but when I have to impose limitations on myself to enjoy a game there's something not quiet right here. What would have been wrong with 3 different difficulty settings where the further you go up in difficulty the more stuff it takes away? Say have Professional difficulty with limit to 1 firearm and 1 or no gadgets, no checkpoints, no gadget refills, getting spotted would pretty much mean instant death etc. For people that this would be too much of a pain/chore/'fun' then there can be a all guns blazing difficulty for them where they can go round Team America style.
Step in the right direction but I guess due to bombing it might be a while yet before we see a big budget SC again.

Yeah, hopefully they drop some more details on Valiant Hearts soon. It seems like they wanna space it out from Child a bit so maybe late summer?

Just played through Ultionus.
Music was of course, great (Especially the stage 5 theme).
It's kinda difficult, probably moreso because I didn't get all of the secret items. The movement is a little stiff but you can jump and shoot at a downward angle to keep things moving.
Most of the headaches came from the bosses. They have pretty basic patterns, but you gotta know when to start/stop firing, jump, duck, or move out of the way to avoid getting killed. It's very memorization-intensive.
Have to go back to get the good ending too..ah well.
Not too bad overall I suppose. It could stand to get a little tweaking, but for fans of the shareware days of the early 90s, it's worth a look.

This looks pretty damn good. Ubi got this $15 thing down.
np! Enjoy.
Never went in deep on this stuff, as I never had problems with them. This sounds like something that would only happen if there was some trouble with the payment to Google.
But, as I said, I am really no expert on how Google Wallet works
200+ skills to unlock? 600+ crafting combinations?
This is going to fill my compulsive magpie niche for a while.
Looks gorgeous as expected and a corking price as well (well providing $'s don't mean £'s in Ubi's random currency converter).

I only use Google Wallet and Visa's V.me thing if there is some type of promo associated with it. Like Newegg used to have some mobile promo if you were checking out with Google Wallet. I usually just stick with Paypal.
It'll probably use a universal sub given the SP nature and cheap price. AssCreedLibHD, $20, did (and still does).

But Uplay
Might actually get this on PS3 because of that.
Its on Steam, but I assuming it will just launch uPlay the way Far Cry 3 does? Looks like a fun game.

If you bought Little Racers STREET somewhere before you should be able to get a Steam key from Desura now. desura.com/collection
Game is still locked but releases later today.

It's a little crazy that they're doing away with tiered pricing. Seems like a bad plan financially, but I'm not the one with the sales figures so I'll just shut up.
Kinda shocking Redshirt hit $1 within three months. I've read not-great things about it but I think I would have tried to bring some people in at $5 or $2.50 first. Makes me think of Dustforce.
Little Racers Street was included in:
- Build a Greenlight Bundle 2 (Groupees)
- Eat My Dust Racing Bundle (IndieBundle.org)
- IndieGameStand
- The Indie Gamer Chick Bundle (Indie Royale)

I was thinking the same, but they're at 4000 bundles sold after only ~2 hours, so it seems like it might work out for them.

Do I even want that Groupees bundle?
Nevermind, getting it for my game count.

Yeah, they should have had a $3 or more BTA tier with a couple games in it.

Ugh, I am so tired of crafting shit. It is one of the worst things that ever happened to RPGs. There are only three ways that crafting goes:
1) Make an item with better stats.
This is an annoying filler that just makes you collect more rare drops when it could have been just a rare drop of the item. In the off-chance that it is not a prefab drop result but completely stat-based, it just lets you make sickeningly OP items that nothing in the game will ever require of you. Crazy drops can work in things like Diablo where you fight bilions of enemies, but in most games they are pointless and they don't even make fun "completely overkill" animations for bosses or anything. Nope, just them falling over after a 5 second non-fight is your reward. Yes, losing engaging battle gameplay is your reward for suffering tedious repetitive battles.
2) Craft shit with powers tuned for the purpose you need.
So this way the tougher enemies can be blue, yellow, purple and so on so you have to craft new shit every single time to beat the next thing. This is again nothing but pointless busywork that has nothing to do with strategy or intelligent combat. It is actually the replacement of intelligent, strategic gameplay with what amounts to a keycard system.
3) Crafting shit that you creatively build shit with.
Oh look, it's the actual application of crafting that real life has, and it is fun. Unfortunately this is only in Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound.... and that's about it!
In such games I typically just craft whatever I think looks cool and play the game with that. Most games end up being like Skyrim where I like something basic (steel axe) and don't need anything else to beat them.

The art on that seems better than most of these types of games.

Now Valve just needs to relax its policy on AO-rated violence and we can finally get a Steam release of Manhunt 2!

New Avatar looks like the mic is going into her nose.
Can't unsee.
I think he means if you thought the game was terribad while playing it, why bother finishing?
This looks pretty fantastic. That art style is incredible.
