I know we're throwing around Xbox titles, but I'm going to cheat and say that I'd love to see PC ports of Kameo and B-K: Nuts & Bolts.

How can you say that, didn't you hear about their hit games? Ultima VI, Ultima VII, Wing Commander, Privateer?
Come now, son.
Is Wing Commander the game that featured Luke Skywalker? Or am I mistaking it for something else? Never played it, by the way.
 
All I really want are Phantom Dust and Breakdown as I've never played those yet I've been really interested. Oh, and Jet Set Radio Future, in hopes that it's actually good unlike Jet Set Radio.
That jsrf is good or that the port is good? Because the game is leagues better than the original

Another one of those guys. I feel I might have been too harsh, especially if he's really 10 years old.

how has the witcher aged? is it better than witcher 2? any different combat-wise?

The games are quite different in terms of gameplay style. The Witcher was built using BioWare's Aurora Engine and has a click-wait-click combat system as opposed to TW2's more traditional, if slightly inelegant, one. I played the original just a couple of years ago or so, prior to working through 2, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually prefer it to the sequel, overall, largely due to the palpably dreary and gloomy state of the world.

It has aged pretty well, the only issue I had with the game was that the voice acting feels pretty weird and disjointed at times, due to it being translated from Polish.

The combat isn't as flashy as Witcher 2, but it is definitely more accessible,polished and balanced. The major difference in combat from TW2 is that is uses three styles for each weapons category, Fast,Strong and Group that you can switch mid-battle

Witcher 2 annoys me because your actions have almost no consequence in the story.
Good game, but Witcher 1 packed much more punch for me.

While I still plan to grab Witcher 2 on PC (Played it on 360) and play Witcher 3 when it comes out. I gotta say I was a little bit disappointed in Witcher 2. I think it was a case of being way to hyped for it. Since it didn't live up to any of my expectations. Doesn't make it a bad game though and I would say at the current price it's still worth playing.

I haven't played more than 5 minutes of Witcher 1 though. All that has stuck with me is Triss' cleavage is crazy.

On a similar, but more off-topic note, an unknown party called me on my cellphone at 11 AM today. There was some background noise and then a young, possibly female voice asked me (in Russian) if I was "selling a dormitory" without any proper greetings. I asked them to repeat and they did. Then I told them I wasn't selling any dormitories and they immediately hung up. What was that about? I tried googling their number afterwards and it's apparently registered in Krasnodar Krai (I'm not sure if that information is trustworthy though), that's where Sochi is. Might have something to do with that.

Epic long-distance troll opportunity wasted. They should have called me.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Getting ready to put out a new version of Enhanced Steam, and putting the final touches on it now. Adding highlighting / early access banners / etc to tag pages.

Quite a lot, actually! It wasn't particularly similar though, because the voice was definitely not synthesized.

Oh, a few hours after that I got another call, this time on the landline and a male voice asked for Nadya, in a very polite manner. I don't even know anyone with that name, so I told him he got the wrong number. Are they onto me?
