I'm really liking Aliens VS Predator, this game looks really nice (graphics wise) considering it's from 2010 and we are almost in 2014. Seriously, if this is how PC players were playing this game in 2010 then I have a lot to catch up in PC Exclusives and will replay some of my favorites games to be honest.

I feel like I've been blind while playing some games in the past couple of years and now I can enjoy them in a much better eye-candy-quality. Best part is, you might don't even need a very expensive/elite PC to play some of these games with a quality that can be superior to the PS3/360 Versions.

How enjoyable is the gameplay? After Gone Home, I'm wary of another 'feels' type game seeing as that didn't really work for me at all.

If your heart is open, love will always find its way in

How befitting of a title named Remember Me. ;)

I think even steam forgot about that game, I was holding out as long as I could, but RE Revelations was the breaking point

I'm playing Remember Me on PS3. Good graphics, setting and concept but the combat sucks balls.

Is it that bad? I was hoping it was allot like like the Batman games.

Remember Me is my surprise of the year. Great game. It also looks pretty crazy on PC with some downsampling.

I may have to buy another steam card... curse you steam sales! :p
 
Just beat Castle of Illusion, took me 2.2 hrs to clock i kid you not. Good thing i only paid $3.75. Just imagine paying $70 in the Mega Drive days. It was a good game though i will give them that but i would never recommend paying $15 let alone the $18 Aussie rip off price on Steam.

I will give it 3.5 out of 5.

I'm sure that back in the day you would need to master the game before finishing it.
 
OK guys and gals, I'm finally doing my very own giveaway! I don't have much to give, but GAF has been so generous to me that I just had to give something back. :) I'm giving away a copy of Fable - The Lost Chapters, which was the first WRPG I ever played (and one that I still love to this day). Best of luck to all who enter!

Of course it does, it's a daily tomorrow or day after tomorrow!

I guess most people didn't get the memo.

KOF really should have won since that would have been the lowest price for which it has been offered. The other two are repeats of the same discount.

The concept behind the combat system is pretty cool. Unfortunately, your moveset is very limited, and unlocking/upgrading moves is slow. The encounters can also be tedious at times.

It's a cool game, with a beautiful setting and great music, but it only held my attention for for a few hours. I think I got close to the end when I got bored and I just never cared to finish it.

I think $5 would be an OK price for the experience if it ever gets to that point.
 
Gone home spoiler!
Right before going up the attic and after reading that last note, I was thinking "oh shit, Sam committed suicide didn't she" only to find out that everything was all good, not many other games have toyed with my emotions like that. I guess it varies from person to person.


Gone Home spoiler.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I was so happy it didn't come to that, though. Sam being happy and being with person she loves was a great ending. I had a huge smile on my face and was also sad because the game was over. A great experience.

I guess those who received the memo were only a small portion of Steam's regular users/voters. Will be interesting to see how Injustice fares on the top sellers list during its flash sale.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.

Not saying this justifies the Injustice win, but KOF would have been the same price it was during its 2416-hour flash sale.

Thanks ToastyBanana for A Virus Named Tom! It also came with the soundtrack, which is awesome.

Didn't expect Injustice to win at all, and by a decent margin too. Wow.

Oh, I was incorrect them. I thought KOF only hit 50% off. Oh well, just a toss up then, really. I'm fine with Injustice. I'd like more people to play online.

Although it has its moments i find it tedious. There is no fluidity and flow like the Batman games, you can't counter moves and dodging is crap. The way you do any real damage is through through combos you set up and its sometimes hard to string more complex combos due to the animations and feedback.
