Man did you guys missed it when Remember Me was like $2-4 like 2 weeks ago? Everyone should have gotten it.

I have an excuse. I wasn't really paying attention to PC games then. Now I see the prices and I'm like "I remember paying $60 for that before". Granted the games aren't "new" but still...my wallet weeps.

Well, I managed to finish off Sniper Elite 3 today. Here's my poorly written review:

Having played all the games in the series, I'd have to say the ratings are as follows: 3>1>2.

1 was incredible for the time and a unique playing experience with many huge levels to experiment in. On the highest difficulties it was a demanding experience that rewarded patience, good planning, and accuracy.

2 was a step down from 1 in the level design department, having far too many close quarter battles in claustrophobic small levels. It's still a great 7/10 game, but it has issues.

3 is where they really hit the sweet spot, combining technical improvements over the last two games and fantastic level design. Although the amount of levels may seem sparse, each level is it's own massive sniper sandbox, allowing many numerous different approaches to each objective. The campaign took me 9 hours to beat on Sniper Elite difficulty and I only really did 50%ish of the secondary objectives, not to mention all the little collectibles scattered about each mission. In short, I highly recommend you check out Sniper Elite 3.

Awesome game, and in my current top 2 of games released this year (#1 being DS2).
I have only played 2 games this year that actually came out in 2014

Edit: Managing to pull of a headshot through the scope of another sniper was one of the most satisfying video game things I did this year

Enhanced Steam for Mozilla Firefox has been updated to version 6.7. This version was specifically designed to work with the new Steam storefront. It also adds several features which were previously only available in the Chrome version of the extension, such as the ability to disable highlighting and the ability to set up to nine countries for the regional price comparison feature.

The extension should update itself automatically as long as you have version 6.0 or higher already installed. If not, you can download it directly from http://firefox.enhancedsteam.com

As always, please let me know if you run into any issues!

Thanks!

I finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 2 days ago - ironically short compared to the previous game o_O. Still great though and enjoyed it.

I started on Toki Tori 2+....but its just not the same.......lol.

well now that my bro finally got his pc and I didn't have to work today I finally got a chance to play RE6. It was pretty lol worthy. Right from the get go you have like no control of the character. no matter direction what you press Leon just kept going forward. After the tutorial mission we decided to start Jake's story since we both vaguely remember people saying he was the worst so we thought we should get that one out the way asap. The guns are pretty useless, enemies just eat the shots. I prefer using the melee, it was more effective and it was hilarious watching Jake use wrestling moves on the monsters. Also at one point one of the monsters turned to a moth thing and we're both like WOAH WTF ITS A MOTH MONSTER NOW!! Ha, my first impressions of the game are pretty good. Those shadow textures are doodoo though. Also, I have no idea whats going on in the story.

PS. is there like a video on youtube that explains the depths of the combat system? I always hear people say it has a deep combat system but after my first 80 minutes I'm not seeing it.

Combat system has more depth than most TPS. It actually gives you options instead of sticking you behind a cover the whole time.

And guns are useful, not just for killing enemies but also for stunning them. If you played RE4 and 5 you already know what to do, and it will save you some ammo. Also, remember to use quickshots. They are very useful since they aim at the closest enemy and slightly stun him. They use the stamina bar though.

Just got the Gigabyte 970 and I am very impressed with the fan noise.

I jacked up the fan speed to 90% and it is barely audible, completely negligible if I have headphones on!

The Asus and MSI versions are also perfectly viable, the EVGA has some issues.

People exaggerate,it's a fine game.

By video game standards? Or Final Fantasy standards?

The game is HORRIBLY linear. The characters are terrible. It takes a perfectly good plot, and wrecks it, using the awful characters and confusing crap. The battle system is terrible. There's no complexity in items, menus, customization, etc.

The ONLY two things it has going for it, are visuals and soundtrack. The rest is a stain on the franchise.

Well, the big one is that we really have no idea on the quality of the port. I suggest you wait until it actually releases, rather than gamble on the quality just to save $1.50.

This is also a good point.

I hope that Square remembers some of the recent games they've helped to put out with extensive PC options.
