Why? After all, the developers won't get any of your money, it all goes to Activision's pocket. I bought it on Steam, but I think the right choice would be pirating it.

You can download Risen for free (unlimited-length rental) over at Gamersgate, just sign up for VOID. It forces you to watch an ad before you play, but does not interrupt gameplay.

VOID is not available in my country, or so Gamersgate says, tried earlier with no success =/

Just a heads up for anyone having problems with Driver constantly freezing every now and again this is because the uplay servers are being overloaded. To stop the freezing either block the Driver.exe from accessing the net via a firewall or disconnect your PC from the net (no switching the uplay client to offline mode does not solve this).

I knew, I just knew I shouldn't have given in and bought a Ubisoft game.

Walking through woods with limited battery life in your flash light, hearing bushes russle behind you, checking, turn around and an enemy is coming right at you with a sicle.

Huh? Ran fine for me. :-/

Edit: To be fair I last played it a year ago and I may have had the community patch downloaded

I personally didn't find Alan Wake to be a good horror game at all. It's a fun action game with some good atmospheric moments here and there but nothing really frightening.

It is if you look at it like that, but ArmA II is a quality game in itself. So much enjoyment to be have, great fan made missions and a fantastic community.

Yeah, but almost all of the people buying it now are getting it for DayZ. Not long ago they were literally giving the game away. I personally can't say I have much interest for the base game, though I might give it shot in a few months if it drops to $5. Actually, I think I have a copy of ARMA II I got for free from GMG several months ago (w/o OA, so it won't work with DayZ) that I never bothered to install.

Thank you so much, Dupy.

Because of Dupy's generosity, I'm going to pay it forward with a handful of games I have in my gift inventory in a few minutes.

Thanks again, man. GAF is an incredible place. =)

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Oh, that was unexpected...

Just woken up and my Steam says I have a gift, of Risen from Xelios as it was on my wishlist, yey!

I'll need to return the favour now, heh.

Really debating picking up Risen. I mean, I played the crappy version on 360 and liked it and put a lot of time into it, but wound up putting it aside. Can't remember why. I got to the big city area I think, or one of them, and just stopped.

I know it's free at GG but it's still sort of a rental that could disappear at any time.

Grabbed Bloodlines though.

How does the vampire game run on windows 7 machines?

Exceptionally well, once you add in the fan mod everyone recommends. It adds in high definition, fixes a few known bugs, and makes everything silky smooth.

I haven't beaten the game yet but the time I did spend with it was superb.

Alan Wake is more of a thriller than a horror game. Even Remedy said that. Still, I loved it.

You're running some sort of money laundering operation, Duby?

j/k you're great dude! :D I'll get that Arma some day, I downloaded the free version of it and holy shit, I kept getting headshotted in the first mission right at the start, considering it's a multiplayer game I know I won't last long.

And if there's nothing cool in remaining days and recaps, I'm going to punch myself in the dick for not getting some games now. ):

Seriously though, you are doing a great thing for the thread morale, Dupy.

I'm wondering the same thing, tried to play it years ago and didn't see anything special about it
Click to expand...

I recently talked at length in a podcast about V:tM Bloodlines so I'm this is pretty fresh in my mind. There are many things that make it good, mostly the fact that is feels much more like what Deus Ex was and no other game has felt like since. (Except Human Revolution, a bit.) The writing is top notch from start to almost finish. (It finishes pretty poorly.) And the setting of Los Angeles is perfectly realized as a almost normal but infested with darkness world.

More than anything else though, the way the world reacts to the character that you're playing is what makes V:tM special. Playing through it has a Malkavian is one of the best gaming experiences of my life. And the Oceanview Hotel is the scariest game ever.
