I mean you can go for it but CoD 4 is like the only one that is good with mods. IW/Treyarch have been shafting modders for years now and seem to support the Xbox 360 more.

Is endwar an mmo? How is it?
Any other Clancy reccomendations? The whole pack for 66 dollars is mighty tempting.

Considering Psychonauts just became a daily deal and I never played it.
I'll check it out.

Just got DMC4 for PC even though I have the PS3 version because fuck it, it's $5.

It is a very fun platformer with a lot of heart. The worlds you visit are extremely different visually, and the characters/writing are top notch stuff. It has a couple of rough edges here and there, but it's a brilliant little game. I hope you enjoy. : )
Do so. I bought it last sale, and now it's one of my favorite games ever. Brilliant writing and level design.

I hear good things about the F.E.A.R. franchise; aside from number 3, which I've been warned is something of a disappointment. Should I just get the bundle, or go for the first 2 games only?

Get the entire bundle if you've never played them, play them all, they are great play em and forget em experiences.

So just to be sure, if I buy the THQ pack, any games I already own in that pack will just be lost in Gaben-space right?

Fear 3 isn't bad at all... and pretty fun particularly in co-op. It just doesn't hold up well against FEAR 1, but really not much can.

Shut up, man.
I know, right? CoD, CoD2, CoD4, and even MW2 are all fun games, IMO. Not a fan of the Treyarch Call of Duty games at all, but I'd love to own all of the Infinity Ward ones for cheap prices.
Let me guess, your hands started to hurt?
FEAR 3 was decent. Supposedly playing at the dead brother is interesting, but I never tried it.
I liked FEAR 2 the best.
FEAR 1 bored me to tears, except that it had excellent gunplay.
Oh, good. Don't really care about mods. I liked BLOPS quite a bit on x360 and the near-future stuff of BLOPS2 has my interest very piqued.

how cheap can farming simulator/train simulator get?
Anyone? I'm tempted at $5 and I loved it on 360.

Go get SimCity 4 Deluxe - it's probably more worth it than the incoming SimCity game.
This man knows what he's talking about. Listen to him and buy Psychonauts. Or even better, get the whole Double Fine pack.
Seriously, Psychonauts has some of the most enjoyable writing, characters, and settings in any game I've ever played.

While it is the best cod (4) , blops 1 is fantastic on pc.
2 is also good but lacks a server list so theres that :/
There are some really nasty visual glitches and performance issues when playing on modern hardware, though. I found out the hard way. Be sure to drop by the Steam forums and see what you gotta do to get it fixed up before you purchase it.
Black Ops 2 is the best CoD in recent years. You won't be disappointed.
Plays well , but i played with a 360 controller so cant comment on keyboard / mouse
I didn't play the X360 one but the PC one was jaw-droppingly beautiful, ran very smoothly, had solid gameplay, and was a blight upon on the Splinter Cell franchise.
Recommended.
Good to hear. I disliked MW2 and MW3.
I just play for SP though.
I grabbed Hitman: Blood Money yesterday and I think I'll pick up FEAR 1 today for $2.50. I've had my eye on that one for a while. I was hoping to get Torchlight II but at $10 it's still too much for me.
Also a daily Deal on Fallout: New Vegas: Ultimate Edition would be real nice. I played through the main game on the 360 but a bug prevented me from seeing all the endings and I skipped out on the DLC last time so starting fresh should be fun.

Have you ever played a Treyarch Call of Duty campaign?
They design horribly paced single-player missions, IMO. They throw SCORES of enemies at you seemingly to pad the length of the game. It's nonstop action, with no time to catch your breath. I get sick and tired of it by the end of one mission.

no impressions/opinions on Ghost Recon Future Soldier?

Apparently has bad optimisation or something. Which sucks because it's my favourite SC.

Isn't the glitch mostly fixable by lowering the graphics?
Fan patches are mostly for general use, like the networking patch to fix Sim routing.

Look at that woman's breasts, they're large.
I was literally one click away from buying it. You just made me reconsider it. :|
I'm curious about this, too. I'm not much of a multiplayer person, so I need to find out if the single player campaign is worth $15.

You're in for a treat then, HAWX 1 is great. I didn't really feel the 2nd one, but the first is well worth playing if you want a good dogfighter game.
I liked it, but it's rather short (I beat it in 6 hours on the hardest difficulty, but many people were able to finish it in 4 hours or even less).
Mmm... Depending on your budget, I'd get them all just for franchise completionism. And we may be able to play some co-op someday, if you want; I haven't tried the online yet.
Click on the listing and it will always show you the individual titles in the packs:

If the Splinter Cell titles were all packed with the HD textures of the recent remasters, they'd be a buy for sure.
...I'll probably still pick them up. Just wish they were the remasters. *grumble grumble*
It's not gonna be as "easy" as Bloodlines since there's a variety of issues that require a variety of solutions, rather then one bulk file that can be downloaded.

How is the Chaos Theory port? Thinking about picking that one up.
Seems like the biggest problems are in the versus mode

I liked BLOPs a lot, even though I found the ending ridiculous. I remember one or two parts annoying me for the reason you state, actually (two vietnam missions, one at a US base and the other in the city), but overall I enjoyed it a lot.
I don't recall liking WaW at all though.
I had no trouble with the SP, save the dated interface and controls. Didn't try the MP.
For a counterpoint: I cannot stand HAWX. The planes are very poorly simulated, even for an arcade flight combat game. They don't have any real nuance to them at all. They feel like magical cameras.peoplethatarenotme said:
