Tomb Raider is the best action adventure game of this generation.
I really, really didn't like BL2. Gameplay was better than 1, but the writing was way worse and it feels like the game lost its charm. I wouldn't really recommend buying that game, personally. Just don't think its worth the time.

Do people have a script for automatic fetching of the giveaway games or what? They're gone as soon as they are posted.
Tomb Raider if you're flying solo; Borderlands 2 if you have mates to play with.

Has PA4 dropped off Steam Search for anyone else?
I believe he is talking about the breasts.

Getting a foil card is the best feeling ever. I was just playing Sleeping Dogs and when I got done I checked my inventory and a shiny foil Lotus card was waiting for me. I look on the market and the card runs for $2, man that is so awesome.
tomb raider is better than uncharted 2

It's not even as good as Uncharted 1
Uncharted 1>3>2
great game, but TR is leaps and bounds better
country mile in fact

Very hard to sell, though.
crazy, uncharted 2 is much better than the new tomb raider.
Ahhhh, that makes sense
The characters in Borderlands 2 are great. The game is very enjoyable in co-op.
Havent played tomb raider

Well yeah it's a sandbox (which I enjoy) not a game with a focus, but like what exactly can you do? The Steam info sounds interesting but seems like it would be...bland in actuality.
There's still at least 5 games left in this giveaway! They're games most people probably already have, but hey, if you're starting out or missed out on early HIBs, this is your chance
Splice is great, by the way. Probably my favorite out of the ones that are still available.

Eh, no. It was good but it dragged on at times.
The gameplay is, but Uncharted 2 has a better story.
Tomb Raider's story is lolbad. Like... one of the worst. But the gameplay is well above average and makes up for it, I loved it.
Wait for Dishonored.

Nevermind. No point 
And I personally haven't finished Tomb Raider yet, it's kind of fun but it doesn't do set pieces as well as Uncharted and the more open world esqe elements don't come out in place during the actual combat which often doesn't give access to the climbable objects. Plus the collectathon stuff which is even more boring than AC3 but it doesn't really bother me.
The thing that does bother me are the kind half assed tombs. All of the ones I've played so far are literally one room puzzles that take a few minutes to complete. Really disappointing, even putting aside the fact they're called hidden yet you get notified every time you're near one.

Hmm, well, since the "anonymous benefactor" actually helped me out with a working key, I'd say that's more than fair enough. In fact, I think it's high time I gave something back to the community!

Someone take Avadon. It's great.
Steam Search seams straight busted for me. All kinds of games dropping. I couldn't find Rogue Legacy, for example. If I went through the "new releases", I could see it, but wouldn't show up in search.
I felt like that when I got mine too.
then I set it 0.01 lower than the lowest and no one buy it, now I check again and it went even lower.
Valve doesn't set the prices of third-party games, and it's 17.50 Eurobucks because it's only available as part of the Tomb Raider Collection.
66% or bust for me.
Oh. Well you could just buy the cards now and get it cheaper at a later date :/ . Madness I know.
the gameplay of a videogame should be the most important thing?

Wait for Dishonored. Get Tomb Raider Anniversary if you want an exploration puzzle-platformer.

I'd have to agree with that
if it was between Dishonored and TR for your money, Dishonored is a much better game IMO

The hair physics ARE nice, glad to see more being done in physics and animation these days.
