same for me. In general I hate Japanese games so I've avoided Nier and DD and will likely skip BD as well. They just never click with me.

He might enjoy Puzzle Quest- similar mechanic, with a light RPG twist.

It's good but not that good. And it shouldn't be played unless you have a SSD, the loading are too frequent and too long otherwise.
It's more action with co-op. It has very light RPG elements like most shooters/action games nowadays like a basic skill tree/xp system, an inventory and I think very basic crafting but the draw is melee'ing the hell out of zombies. It's not a very good game but you can do worse I guess.

Yeah it's pretty bad. My PC has parts that came out after that game did and it runs pretty poorly too.
If you have been starved for 90s style RPGs, then it's as good as it's going to get.
Nope. Open world, kinda light Elder Scrolls, with Zombies. And Zombies only.

Mount and Blade has alot more depth than chivalry. Chiv is a good game but i have put about 100 hours on the single player and about 150 on the multiplayer of mount and blade. So maybe i am biased. Still think it has a lot more meat than Chivalry.
Disagree. Played all singleplayer, was awesome.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll probably grab Critter Crunch, one of the Cradle games (either one any better than the other?), and Puzzle Quest.
He's got both Plants vs Zombies and Peggle but he seems to only play Bejeweled.

Would just like to confirm that Cradle of Rome is a pretty darn good match-3.
But if he likes Bejeweled, don't even hesitate to get Puzzle Quest. It's $2.50 and it's awesome! How can you go wrong?
The AI is a cheating fuck. Apart from that it's awesome.

Have you played Lego Batman 2?

Hopefully Project Eternity is going to prove you wrong (
Neverwinter Nights 2 series is better than DA:O in any case
No, but the £10 price is tempting. Is it worth it?
I bought Binary Domain from GMG a while ago but am just now getting around to it. The game deserved a much better reception critically and commercially, I think.
I'm half way through and while I don't think the story is anything spectacular so far, I think most of the characters are really well written and the game is super charming. I agree with everyone who likened this to a Action B-movie. It's an action game in the purest sense of the word and doesn't really try to be anything more. It's very much a Japanese TPS that borrows some elements from its Western counterparts.
The voice control isn't accurate enough to bother trying to set up though, so I would set that to buttons from the start.
Overall, I'm a big fan of Binary Domain, and if you think you might like it, you should give it a shot. I bought it on impulse and wasn't really expecting to like it this much. Definitely one of my favorite games of the year and one of the best TPS games of the generation.

I thought it was enjoyable enough alone. Going through the hotel was actually a bit spooky sometimes. Especially when you are a low level and hear a thug or a screaming zombie.

I'm gonna urge you to go ahead and pick it up not only because BD was incredible fun but because those winter and summer game draughts creep up on you. These last few weeks I've run through my backlog pretty quick.

what's the likelihood of fallen enchantress getting either a flash or a daily?
Let's check the Steam Sale Algorithm!
Do you want to to go on sale? - > It will not go on sale
I have bad news.

The story levels are really well-designed and have good replayability. It's also probably the best treatment Superman has ever received in a video game. The open-world is a bit repetitive and for some reason the flying mechanics are worse there, but flying around as Supes while the movie theme blares is such a great feeling. Also, even though he doesn't show up in the main story and you have to get him later, Aquaman is ACTUALLY useful!
I bought it at 66% off and don't regret it.

I Just bought Chivalry and it's pretty damn fun (more fun than mount and Blade IMO). Anyone care to comment on how War of Roses stacks up?
thanks for the tips!

It was up for a flash vote once and failed, there's still a chance it could pop up on a stable flash deal but I don't know what to expect from this sale anymore.

Any recommendations on a 3d space game? I'd prefer space dogfighting and such but I really want to have something to pilot a ship in space.

freespace 2 for $5 on gog.com. apparently the community has kept it up with mods, including an HD upgrade.

If you haven't tried DarkStar One, check it out. It's about the only decent space dogfighting flying sim shooter out there in recent memory.
Ignore the horrible gameplay and graphics and you'll be fine.
I got most of the Steam games I wanted during the Autumn Sale, and the rest I picked up from GOG.
What I don't get is why Steam doesn't let me buy some Games For Windows Live titles. For example, Super Street Figher IV - Arcade Edition isn't available in my region while vanilla SFIV is (?!) and, most importantly, Dark Souls isn't available either.
I recently purchased Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, which does use GFWL, and there were no issues (it's a great game, by te way). Why is Argentina randomly region-locked from some GFWL titles?
