It's all right. Fairly formulaic, but the awesome gameplay more than makes up for it. KICKING PEOPLE INTO RACKS OF SPIKES, DUDE!

I may actually be, probably in the first time of my life, in a spot where I cannot play not even a bit of something I just bought. Depends on how the days will go, but damn. So much stuff.

How's the gamepad support for KOTOR on PC? I know it's obviously too old to have 360 pad support but can you still use one? I remember trying the pc version a while ago and hating the PC controls for some reasons (can't remember lol). I still have it on Xbox but I could go for another playthrough at a higher resolution!

Apologies if this has already been asked, but has anybody tried picking up the Fate of the World ticket prize? I had no problem with the Spacechem one, but every time I try Fate Steam tells me their was an error in redeeming the prize. I've tried restarting Steam, and logging off and back in with no luck. Anyone else having an issue?

The Lead and Gold and Shogun achievement are time consuming

And Meat Boy got a new summer achievement (probably related to the sale), which requires you to get A+ on most Hell levels.

I'm not even to Hell yet :(

Its okay. But you better buy it because it is an incredibly fun action rpg. Played through it so many times now.

Don't think so, but Kotor has a really easy control scheme, you can play entirely with the mouse which makes it easy to one hand it.

Okay, I'm already calling SpaceChem my GotS. This is exactly why I spend fifty bucks on ten different games: because if I find even one thats worth it then its all worth it. This thing is downright marvelous.

Oh God I'm hoping Torchlight becomes a Daily Deal. If it doesn't I'll still purchase it on the last day of the sale but $5 would be PERFECT.

(assuming it goes on sale)
How is Puzzle Agent?

Is it like Prof Layton? I'm looking for a Prof Layton type game, and I remember hearing PA was one of those.

How cheap do you think it'll go?

So, I went ahead and bought Spacechem, as commanded by Toma (and also Eternity's Child, because 60p).

I'm not too stupid for this game at all - I finished the first two planets in my first session! And I even did some of it myself as well! *puffs out chest*

Haven't tried 60p yet, bought it because it looks lovely and 60p. Doesn't even matter if it's good or not at that price, almost.

Only around 45 minutes to go! WOOT

Bentendo: Torchlight's been on sale before, that's how I got it. I think it was around the £5 mark back then.

Shell out $50 on big budget games only to spend all your time playing a $5 indie game. It's what Steam sales are all about.

I'm a little late to the telltale scene but BTTF is really rough around the edges for a point and click adventure. The game feels better to me playing with a gamepad and there are quite a few small technical bugs. That and the way Marty walks is just kinda weird.

is Hamilton like LaraCroft GoL?
Click to expand...
From the videos? No, nothing at all like it.

I only have Lara Croft, though, so I can't say for sure, but it sure doesn't look like it.

If anything, Hamilton reminds me of a late 80's single-screen arcade coin-op game you might find in a much more primitive form on MAME. That's a good thing, by the way.

Puzzle Agent is the closest to Prof. Layton you're gonna get on PC and the setting and atmosphere is really cool. However, I believe it is severly lacking on the puzzle-front with downright stupid puzzles wich require you to use hints just to understand what the hell you're supposed to do.

This is all true, but Puzzle Agent is worth playing for the story and voice-acting alone.

Engaging battles in the Star Wars universe on a epic scale, what's not to like?
I originally played it on PS2 and it was a blast playing splitscreen, PC version must be even more awesome.
