Best one is Siren imo
Even with a smurf on each team.
Did you message Steam support to resolve the login issue?
Well if soloing the Commando does give you the option of twice the firepower with the turret which makes some of the more coop focused encounters more palatable. In both games I've found the Siren class the most fun to play as due to the versatility they have in their skill trees and their powers are quite different from the other classes. Haven't tried a Mechromancer or Psycho character yet but I don't know if you'd get those two over the free weekend due to being DLC.
Here you guys go!

She plays differently than the BL1 Siren, with regards to her power.
The little girl, if the devs are to be believed, is apparently for people who don't want any difficulty. They made the robot overpowered I believe.

I actually prefer Phase-Lock over the firsts Phasing. I've found it works quite well in either an offensive, defensive or support situation, especially with how you spec out your Siren. Though a team of 4 Soldiers from the first was just stupidly overpowered if you all went down a different path.

Ok, here is a quick review wrap-up of stuff i bought over the week/weekend. If anyone cares enough, i can post more in-depth impressions on specific stuff, or you can always ask me on Steam!
Coin Crypt: This has to be one of my favorite games on Steam. This is a dungeon crawler/rogue-like, but the twist is that all of your actions are done by coins you collect. So, coins tend to be "Hit 2" "Heal 2" "Regenerate" "Steal Coin", and so on. You get a random draw of coins each time, and the combat is done in real time when you enter a battle. If you don't have any coins, you lose. However, if you have too many coins, it can be hard to get to the stuff you need. Its almost like an on-the-fly deck-building game, crossed with a rogue-like. Its intense, pretty difficult, but has a vast amount of characters that each play slightly or majorly different, which should give everyone a character that would fit to their play style. Well technically still in early access, the game is constantly updated, and if sold at the price its at right now (6.99), could be sold as a full game with no problem. Absolutely worth checking out.
Detective Case and Clown Bot: I've seen mixed opinions in this thread on here, but i have to say, i actually kind of dig it so far. Its a solid point-and-click, and well it gives off a very Sam and Max-esque vibe, its not on par with that series at all. But, i'm enjoying it. The humor still works a good chunk of the time, i dig the way they set up interviewing people (Think Phoenix Wright Psy-Locks), and i dig the solid sprite work. I hope the actual mystery case and story ends up being solid, but so far, i'm digging it.
Duke Nukem 3D: I had never played it before. Yeah, its pretty awesome. I mean, its just a good time. I don't think i have to actually tell you all that, but yeah, i was in the mood for a 90's style shooter, and it delivered.
Dungeons: Eyes of Draconus - Here is a game i was actually pretty interested in, but i'm a bit disappointed in. Its obviously suppose to be a big send-up of Golden Axe, but it also has a story, and all of the writing and stuff is pretty painful. For some reason, i felt like they were trying to be Heavy Metal meets Golden Axe, but with none of the charm. The beat-em up stuff itself it ok, but even for 3 bucks, it's not doing much for me. It does have 3-player local and online co-op, but that's about all its got going for it. Shame, with a little more time refining the game engine and maybe cutting back on the story interruptions and bad jokes, could have been a solid beat-em up. Can't really recommend it.
Major Mayhem: I actually played it a little bit on iOS, but i like it, its essentially Time Crisis but from a different perspective. Shoot at enemies, stop shooting to dodge the bullets that will actually hit, try to chain combos by quickly killing enemies, getting head shots in a row, or other such things. Its obviously about getting high scores and replaying levels, but a solid time killer nonetheless. Just don't go in expecting anything deep, its a very simple game.
Mega Coin Squad: If you have friends you game with at your house, you should seriously consider nabbing this. Basically, all 4 players are trying to collect a certain amount of coins and get them into a piggy bank in the center of the stage first. Of course, there are enemies in your way, and your friends, and when you die, all your coins come spraying out. After each round, depending on how well you do, you'll get random upgrades from a slot machine that either give you access to new weapons or upgrade your existing abilities. Its good, chaotic fun, and hopefully online eventually comes along, but it still is another solid notch in the "PC Local Multiplayer Gods" belt that joins the likes of Crawl, Mount Your Friends, Speedrunners, and Spelunky.
The Counting Kingdom: I honestly nabbed this thinking the game was going to be more fast-paced/slightly more difficult then it is. Don't get me wrong, fundamentally the game is a smart, clever educational game. Its also built with that "3-Star Rank" systems most casual/iOS games have, and getting 3-stars can get kind of tough in some of the later stages i've seen, but honestly, this is going to be a cakewalk for most anyone. As a kids educational game, its actually pretty smartly designed, and i totally give props to them for that. There even could be a great overall game here if the game forced you to think quickly (its not timed or anything, you can sort of take time to think things out from what i've played to). As it stands, cute fun little game, but very easy.
Ziggurat: I suck at this game, but i really like it. Its essentially a first-person rogue-like. Even though it looks like all kinds of spell-casting and such, don't let that fool you. Each of the spells seems to generally act like a typical type of FPS weapon (Pistol, Shotgun, Machine Gun, so forth). However, this is not a grind-esque roguelike, its very much about your wits and combat reflexes. It actually reminds me of old-school shooters a bit, or as an apt comparison, a much more enjoyable, polished version of a Steam game called Paranautical Activity that i know has been bundled quite a few times. From what i've played of it so far, i really dig the way the game plays and the idea, but i'm not sure how much content the game will have. It seems like it could get repetitive quick, but again, i haven't played enough to really know yet. Fun game either way.

No idea for the PC version stuff, but the way to get the good ending (there is no true ending) is here in spoiler tags:
Kill Alex's mom, forgive Alex's dad, and save Wheeler.
Also, you can get all of the other endings on the first time.
IIRC, they also gave her an ability that makes all of her shots automatically ricochet towards your enemies, so that you don't actually have to be able to aim.
They described her as a class "for your girlfriend to play" in one of the more tone deaf explanations of a gameplay decision in recent memory.
The QTEs in the PC version of Homecoming are pretty weird, often requiring a Herculean effort.
Game can be played with 360 pad but it maps them weird. Like, it has color symbols that are clearly modelled after the 360 pad, but the game itself doesn't use them right, so it's confusing. Like A, the green button is represnted on screen by the red button (B). But I think A is the only button really on screen for much outside tutorials (its the QTE key) so if you just keep that in mind you'll get used to it.
Though honestly I think it handles well enough on KBAM if the 360 stuff gets to you.

That's just one of the skill trees. You can build her like a normal character very easily.

A on your controller, it'll show you the red icon on screen during QTEs, even though traditionally B is the red button on 360 pads. So, if you're like me, you'll start jamming B on accident when the game wants you to jam A.

Origin isn't bad. The problem people have with it is that it doesn't represent competition but rather fragmentation -- it's the direct result of EA saying "We want a piece of that pie, too!" and keeping its games off of Steam in service of that. Even Ubisoft is guilty of this behaviour to a small extent (I honestly can't think of any examples other than King Kong and Tintin, but I haven't exactly dug deep).
Kinda have to guess. I mean you could probably just google a PDF of the game's 360 manual. But the game is from the time before 360 pad adoption was widespread so it's mainly just going to read in the game's menu like Button 7 instead of Y, that sort of thing.
Ouch
Is it playable with keyboard?
Yeah, it's pretty basic. Left click is interact and light attack, right click is heavy attack. To attack you hold shift. Space is dodge. WASD. F for flashlight. Not many other commands besides the menus that I'm forgetting offhand.

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.
Sorry about that, got lost in Diablo III again for a little bit...
Anyway, there is already code in place so that if Idle Master can't reach Steam, it should keep retrying every 5 minutes until it can, then resume idling. Not really sure what happened there...

Man, Banished is tough.
I downloaded a 300+ pop save file to figure out how to play (which I should not have done since it triggered the acheevs), and my people still freeze at Winter.

Pretty nuts if they didn't. Maybe no one's paid it forward recently who doesn't have it? I know I'd go for it if I had.Did no one grab this?
My experience with Diablo III usually goes like this. Pick up quest from hub, portal to questing area, click, click, click, click, click, click, about 10,000 clicks, over dramatic boss cutscene dialog, furiously click bosses lights out, open chest and collect junk, return to questing area to find gear to make it worth my while, a billion more clicks, town portal back to hub, sell junk gear, visit Covetous Shen, the blacksmith dude and the enchantress, look at clock, WHERE DID THE LAST 5 HOURS GO!?!?!?
I don't know what it is about Diablo but I just switch off and can mindlessly 'play' it for hours on end where I struggle to get over the early hump with Torchlight and Path of Exile.
Did no one grab this?
Probably just ModBot being slow at editing the post ^^
Same for me, I entered, too
Guess I'll wait for that review to see if the PC version run well or not
Those crazy jumps.. Thanks for the link man.
Didn't you know? One day a year. Modbot take 1 game he want for himself. Today is that day apparently.
