Pretty much, nobody will agree on it, it's so decisive but I would recommend to play all of them.

Is the Fear 2 Reborn DLC good? Anyone play it?

I'm always amazed that people actually share this opinion. Honestly I never can understand it.
Just playing with you of course, though I do completely disagree.
It's all in the atmosphere. Fallout 3 nails the post-apocalyptic feeling. New Vegas doesn't at all. I know Vegas' setting didn't call for it, but still.

Having way too many games already, I haven't gotten too much. Still waiting to see if LEGO Batman 2 and Spec Ops: The Line go lower.

So if I don't vote this time because Steam is being stupid, will that hurt my chances at a full badge?
do it, game was worth every penny of the release price for me
Not really.

Brotherhood is tempting, but still slightly too much for me. I'd pick it up at $5 though - so probably Winter sale.
AC2 I've played half of on Xbox (via Gamefly a long time ago), so while it's probably worth it for $5, I can pass there as well.
And yeah, AoE III really should be cheaper. It came out in 2005.

You can vote 3 times a day and there should be 11 days, so that's 33 times you can vote and you only need to vote 20 times for the badge.

I don't know about way better, but Bethesda did way better with World Building. That stuck out with me.
Obsidian beat the snot out of them with plot (though a bit unfocused at times), character choices, mechanics, etc., but I lost my mind when I started hitting invisible walls that were NOT map edges. Totally uncalled for.
For strictly a playthrough, I prefer NV, but for mods and blowing time on the map, I prefer F3.

Asking again since no response. Anyone able to comment on this game? I mean it seems like it could be good, but I don't know how seriously to take any of the stuff people are saying about it. Always seems like people are speaking in hyperbole or something. Also, are there puzzles or anything or is it more like an interactive movie?

I don't see the point of community or flash sales. It looks like a game can be all three, as we've seen already. Now Grimrock just needs to be a flash sale and we'll have seen it in 3 locations. Amnesia has been in two places so far too as has many other games. I thought the Steam Catalog was big enough to have different sales all the time. The last day revisiting of sales will be even more redundant since we'll already see many sales multiple times.
Oh well. Not like I have enough already, but it's really disappointing when you are dying to see something NEW show up on the flash/daily/community sales.

I've never been one to be scared by games or movies.
Amnesia however, is pretty freaking scary. The feeling of being chased and being helpless is intense. You have no weapons and brutal demons/things are after you. You have to run and hide if you don't want to die.

I also just want to make sure that, perceived "scariness" aside, the game is actually good and isn't just an overall shitty game.
When people say it's scary and that they had to stop playing they are not being sarcastic. This is THE scariest game I have ever played. You have no weapons, oil for your lantern is limited and the atmosphere is insane. You have to play it to experience it. It's hard to convey fear on a message board. It's absolutely worth it if you are a fan of horror games. I still haven't finished it. Playing raises my pulse.

Buy $50 worth of games on Steam.
Play Dark Souls on 360 instead of any recently purchased games.
And I wonder why I have a backlog.

Get Amnesia people. It's thoroughly creepy.
I couldn't finish it. I also didn't get very far.
I'm also a total pussy when it comes to anything scary.

It's a good game. It's not ill perceived or overhyped.
Well, if you go in thinking it's the best thing since KY Jelly, maybe you will be disappointed. It's a decent looking, suspenseful game. I haven't been terrified yet, but i have been freaked out a bit.
Yes.

Yes, it's an excellent RPG.
Just think of all the games your children will enjoy later on and their children as well.

Anyone know how Reborn DLC for FEAR 2 is?

How don't know how seriously to take any of the stuff people are saying about it but you are asking more random people what they want to say about it?
Just buy it and find out. Cheap as.

All of those $5 games add up fast.

hella bullets that's true
I bought Assassin's Creed II for $4.99. I beat the first AC and thought it was alright. Even though I heard that II was a lot better, I just never got around to it. I'm looking forward to this.

I really hope Beyond Good & Evil wins the vote. It's on my wishlist. Never got around to playing it when it came out and I've heard nothing but good things.

I don't know, so far I haven't found it the least bit scary. But it probably gets worse later, I'm still early in the game. Can't say that I understand what the "had to close it after 10 minutes" people are talking about though. I've played for more than that, and it has only been slightly unsettling so far.

I came in to ask a few questions, is it a long game?
Seems like a game like this, I don't want it to overstay its welcome, if it's too long, I might not want it, how long is the game time , roughly?
Also this, so go and vote people, I need to add another game to my backlog, but can't unless it's $5 and cheaper!!

This is me exactly.
Bought a bunch of games and went back to play Guardian of Light instead of trying any of them out. And with Darksiders 2 on the way I've got to give the first game another solid go.
Well, at least I'll have plenty of stuff sitting around when I get bored.
Rooting for Beyond Good & Evil as well even though I'm not remotely interested in any of these. The game is great, so I hear.
Game is so good though.
Heck yea on Amnesia at $5. Instabought after trying to buy it from the iPhone app earlier at $10 and fail.
Edit: Gabe be watching.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It's great, but really short. I think it took me like 45 minutes. So people naturally weren't pleased about that back when it cost like $10.
I loved it, though.
