Crazy, I know a friend who does that (or did do that back in his CS days).Cipherr said:
WASD might not be the best but a good KB/M scheme is always good to know. Some people prefer EDSF for more keys to the left or whatever (though I think multibutton mice might've killed that), and you certainly have way more options to remap that what gamepads usually offer. It'll take a while but you'll get the hang of it.
Hell, I don't have a 360, and I bought a 360 pad a few months ago and it feels great, but I still default to KB/M for shooters because I've always valued the targetting finesse of a mouse.

Just found out that Transformers has co-op.
How is it? and is this the lowest it's gone for?

In sequence three of Assbro, pretty cool so far. They pulled a Metroid on us so I lost all my cool stuff, but I bought Altair's armor with U-Play points so I still look cool. Seems like they took the villa building from the second game and applied it to the entire city, not sure if I will like that since I have to pay money to open up every shop now instead of just finding them. Combat is a bit more fluid now and I love how you can chain insta-kills, that makes combat so much easier and satisfying. But guards seem to attack more aggressively so it's not a walk in the park all the time.
Speaking of Transformers, it sold like hotcakes or something, cause I bought it maybe 2 hours after the sale, just finished downloading and it seems they ran out of keys or something? Getting a "Failed to contact key server" error trying to launch. Guess they didn't see that coming.

Yup, it's pretty great and they even added Steam Cloud support recently. Gameplay wise it isn't really revolutionary except for the health-system it's just got really high production values and a well-balanced difficulty curve.

Try this out. It allows you to emulate a mouse with a joypad.

It cost a little money but it's very well supported with profiles for most games.

If you mean controller support then no (i assume there is a mod). If you mean the over the shoulder view then yes.
The UbiDRM has being sigificatly nerfed on PC. It only needs a connection at start-up, you don't need a pernament connection anymore.
The PC versions of Dragon Age and AC1, 2 and Brotherhood are the definative versions.

Absolutely, I've actually played a bunch of games I never tried or some I stopped playing. A whole lot more than the earlier Steam sales.
I'm having tons of fun.
Which Dragon Age? Origins was made for five years with keyboard and mouse in mind, with a quick port over to the gamepad, and it shows. I would say if anything Origins would be "simpler" with a keyboard and mouse. The console controls for Dragon Age 2 are supposed to be a lot better. Neither PC versions have native gamepad support.Mista Koo said:Last time I'm posting this before I give up

Well, I've only tried out the single player skirmish but I had a lot of fun. A good blend of RTS and FPS.

It's a city builder/economy manager with a Cuban theme. Super fun if you like those types of games.
I really enjoyed playing through the campaign for both vanilla game and the expansion.
There is a sandbox mode and user-made challenge maps are available but I've only dabbled in those slightly. I preferred playing campaign.
The Tropico 3 flaw mentioned is just that road placement can be a bit tricky at times, but usually it's fine.
Went ahead and snagged Defense Grid due to the positive posts I saw.. can't beat $2.49.
Fun game but the building mechanism is a little flawed.. it makes it much, much more difficult than it needs to be. At $5 for the pack with the Absolute Power expansion, you absolutely can't go wrong though. I had a lot of fun with it.a posh hammer said:
It doesn't start out that way, but yes it ends up that way. It's just an abilities bar, and it feeds you to them slowly, so you will have plenty of time to get a feel for each one. You can customise the ability bar too, so you can group like abilties together and such. Also it's pause and play, so you don't have to worry about remembering abilties in the heat of battle. If you ever needed to figure something out, just pause. It's a fairly simple game.Mista Koo said:
