This update reminds me of the extensive tweaking Lab Zero Games did with Skullgirls. Sounds like Pid's devs really went all out. This game is definitely on my radar again.
First time I've heard of this.

Haven't played CoP but SoC was really good with the complete 2009 mod.
SoC for sure. I could never get into the sequel because it was more open-world. But really try the first if you're the slightest interested and pick up the next one later
Make sure you look up the Complete 2012 mod
Fly'n needs this update, frickin' rising lava levels!!
Got Pid today thanks to Dr. Shen. <3

Are the STALKER games pretty horror driven and atmospheric?

Just finished up Unmechanical. What a lovely puzzler! It's short and sweet, but I really dug it.
Reminds me a bit of Rochard, in gameplay and style. Both of those are good games.

I wouldn't say horror driven but the atmosphere creates some horror elements.
Mostly in the laboratories & sewers. *shivers*
From my playing of STALKER: SoC, the game (with the 2009 Complete Mod) is one of the most atmospheric games I own. Given that the game is about Chernobyl after the effects of a nuclear meltdown, there are a lot of horror-like enemies and creatures. Don't expect Resident Evil type horror, but the atmosphere (at highest graphics with the mod) is one of the best in my collection, if not. The world is well-populated and well-designed and with the help of the 2009 Complete mod, it feels very much like you're am a part of it.
For those wondering about Call of Pripyat, most hardcore fans of the series I've hear from on forums say it is the better game. However, the Complete mod for it does not make the same level of improvement as the game came better made out-of-the-box.

I see. Ah well, too late anyway as I missed the deals.
Cool. I may still check it out soon regardless.

Sniper Elite has a shitload of potential, but I got so bored during the demo. And it had two missions.
I was just shooting and instantly restarting trying to get more shots - the actual gameplay didn't capture me.
Edit: Ball shot

Hmm.. Well since I have a GTX 670 I might as well get it.

Nope.
It's far better than the first game, but still not worth anyone's time.
EDIT: Actually I take that back.
IIRC TW2 has an AWESOME spell-system where you can make ridiculous spells.
Like summon anvils to fall on people's heads and other stuff.
Okay yep it's true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whWjC_lB5n0
Screw it, now I'm buying a copy. Also noticed that both the core game and the core game + expansion are the same price.

price was $12.49. deal just went invalid (it was the previous user vote before bastion showed up)
You're half an hour late as that sale just ended, but Amazon and GameFly have your back.

Two Worlds II is dope as fuck, great game with a lot of heart but an endearing amount of jank to it. The spells you can make are wicked though - played some co-op with a dude who was throwing and conjuring up trash. Just throwing broken barrels and shit at enemies. It ruled.
Meh I'll wait for the end of the Steam deal to see if they recap it.

18gb? Wow. Epic pick up though. I'm hoping it'll go on sale with 75% off later on. I guess I won't be playing it anytime soon if it does though.
Well that was odd.

It's $12.49 on Amazon now. Get it fast, not sure how long the price is live for! It'll be $12.49 again from the 27th to the 29th.

I am really hoping for a good tropico 4 deal. I saw the giantbomb quick look for the 360 version and it looked really cool.

75% off in the flash deals. 12.50
I really liked Two Worlds 2's magic system until I realised it's a case of stacking the same few cards to increase already known effects, then it quickly loses its appeal. Add to that a storyline that I didn't care for and a world that's boring to explore and it doesn't make for that great a game. All things considered I think the first game is better, even if it was flawed and a mess, technically. It had a better, more PC-friendly interface too, though I wouldn't recommend it due to the aforementioned flaws and technical issues. Reality Pump Studios can't quite hit the mark with this series. They have some nice ideas but the end result is always really clumsy.
It's a gorgeous game with mountains of content, but you could probably complete most other games in the time it takes just to figure out wtf is going on. That aside, it really is fun though and very absorbing. You always have at least a dozen things to do and it can easily swing from a soothing exploration of the ocean floor to frantic madness as everything goes to shit and your beautifully crafted metropolis' crumble around your ears.
It does have TAGES however, and you'll only get the most out of it if you're online, which I can completely understand turning some people off.

LOVED the demo on PS3. It's more a comfy couch kind of game for me since it seems kind of slow-going and laid back. Lots of laughs and grimaces from the cool kills when playing with friends in the room.

Hoping The Witcher 2 gets just a little bit cheaper, as well as Devil May Cry 4. Those are the ones I'm really pulling for. And Dark Souls obviously.
A surprise Assassin's Creed III deal would also probably push me over the edge.

IIRC, you can just use any random US address and accomplish your order.
Anyone with a CC can buy from Amazon.com's digital games with a valid USA address. For example: use a hotel in a state with no tax.

I never knew this existed. I haven't played TF2 in ages and all of a sudden I was getting spammed for my hats.

Any opinions on Death Rally?
The Witcher 2 will be, I'm sure of it. It was $7.50 on the Autumn Sale, I'd be surprised if it didn't reach that price here.
Tried the demo and didn't like it. Definitely doesn't hold a candle to the 1996 version.
