I dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the artwork has changed. Look at the op, then check the site now, the Rift girl's tattoo has changed.

It has, but Lefty Lara and Righteous Chun-Li get more attention. I wonder why the tattoo was what it was in the first place.

hmmm

I know C&C4 has bad reviews.

But I'll feel dirty owning all other C&Cs and missing out on that one :(

At this point, everyone playing online has all the unlocks, and doesn't want to play with other people who don't have the unlocks. And that's reasonable, because without the unlocks, you have nothing. You wouldn't even want to play online.

If you can level up with the campaign (on your own or co-op), and then play online with full unlocks... I think it's kinda fun. It's not nearly as good as other C&C games, but it's not the worst thing ever.

This may be terribly old news, but I just noticed that the Paradox Fantasy Pack is on for $8. It's not listed on the major packs list, and it deserves some attention.
Click to expand...
You horrible person! How dare you bring that to my attention? That's another $8 down the drain.

Thanks for the tip! :)

I've been enjoying CreaVures. It's a fun little platformer that's currently $3.40 (66% off the normal price). Here's the Steam recommendation that I just put up for it:
http://store.steampowered.com/recommended/byafriend/49810/76561198034082721
A fun, relaxing platformer with absolutely gorgeous backgrounds. Definitely recommended to any platformer fans. The only slight problem is that the game doesn't do a good job on explaining the controls, but they're simple enough anyway--Space to Jump, hold right or left arrow keys to move and down to crouch, and use F to use your current character's special ability. Once you get two characters, use S to switch between them at any time. Once you get three characters, you'll learn that you can only have two of them out at the field at one time. To switch one of your characters currently on the fireld to one that's not, press D at a checkpoint. And that's it. That said though, yeah, definitely recommended to anyone whose looking for a relaxing, beautfiul platformer.

Update to the Paradox Fantasy Pack tip:

The Elven Legacy Pack costs 9,37€ whereas the Paradox Fantasy Pack costs 7,69€, and contains all of the games in the Elven Legacy one plus the complete Majesty series.

So even if you just want the Elven Legacy games, you know which pack to buy....

Would people recommend the THQ Hit Pack? I've none of the games (only just returning to pc gaming after ~10 years out).
Click to expand...

My goodness yes. It's rare to find a pack with so many good games for a cheap price and you don't already own a couple.

If you're using Win 64 bit, Saints Row 2 probably won't run right though. I believe there is a mod of some kind that possibly fix it on the Steam forum for the game. Otherwise the game runs way to fast.

Thanks, looks nice. For a minute I though it was some successor to creatures :p

Would you say the game focus more on the platforming side? Or the art vibe? (like Limbo)

Don't care much for the Elven Legacy (not a fan of TBS). But Majesty for that price? Count me in! Thanks for the update :p

Eww... are they any good at least? I'm actually only interested in Q1 and maybe Q2 but if the Misson packs offer significant content I might just cave in for the whole pack.

Not sure, I've never played them. :p

So now my account is on alert because they're shit lol

COH Opposing Front is the sequel or an expansion to the first one?

Wich should i get?
Click to expand...
Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor are both stand alone expansions.

CoH vanilla has two factions (for single and multiplayer) and two campaigns.
OF adds two more factions and two more campaigns. But if you only own OF, you can only use the two OF factions, not the vanilla factions.
ToV includes no new factions but includes all the previous four factions, plus some new online modes, and a mediocre campaign.

If you're only interested in multiplayer, obviously get ToV. If you're interested in singe-player, get vanilla and OF.

You're welcome. The deal is indeed great if you're just looking for the Majesty games. Majesty 2 Collection is 13,39€ plus 3,--€ for Majesty Gold. That's a lot more than the 7,69€ for the Paradox Fantasy Pack.

BTW TBS FTW ;>

Anyone know how to get CoH running at 60hz full screen?

Runs at 60 in windowed but if I go full screen it drops to 50 for some reason.
