I hate that Ubisoft forces UPlay on us and it's even worse than Origin is. It doesn't help that Ubisoft releases some pretty great games, so you really have to use it. (Even the console versions require UPlay accounts now)
Its the steam flash sale for another 3 hours at $5. All the expansions included in the AOE2 HD Edition.Great game.
Lots of good ones. Arkham City is the one I would try. Takes the least time picking up and playing and you feel like a Badass. Plus it only takes about 15-20 hours to beat the main story if you're casually playing it.
Now that I have fully adopted Steam as my gaming platform my motto is that I should never pay more than $7.49 for any video game. Too much good stuff is out there to justify shelling out $60 on the latest game.
Far cry is a slightly poorer man's version of Fallout 3 on drugs (literally, at times). Enjoyable but I'm not sure I'd give it the "special" label.
I really liked FC3 and got 100% completion on it. Never played the fallout series for some reason.
I bought a year of PS+ on Black Friday with the anticipation of getting a PS4 this Spring. I activated it early to see what it was all about and am bummed I didn't buy into PS+ earlier. Tons of great games for free and a huge bonus is that it downloads and installs patches for the system and games automatically when my PS3 is off. It's so nice not to ever have to sit there waiting for a patch to download and install.
are you talking about the leap to PS4 or the leap to PS+?
Wow. I have been thinking of making the leap myself. This may be the nail in the coffin right here!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Shadow of Chernobyl is absolutely amazing, its an open world first person shooter. You're essentially a mercenary in the wastes around Chernobyl, there are other freelance mercenaries as well as a couple factions that give you missions and objectives. The Chernobyl meltdown has left the surrounding area riddled with horrible mutated wild animals and people as well as 'anomalies' that present themselves in unique ways that you can either use to your advantage or unwittingly get trapped in.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:

Left 4 Dead 2 is the first to come in mind. Keep in mind that it's better played co-operative, not alone. Also, Maelstrom and I are trying a new free-to-play Half-Life 2 mod called No More Room in Hell. Looks like it will be very good for those who like Left 4 Dead.T Bell said:
This seemed incredibly cool when the mod first came out. (Not a PC guy, but it was intriguing enough that I spent some time watching gameplay vids). That seems like eons ago, though. How can the stand-alone version still be in alpha?
It's being developed by a pretty small indie developer and the game is a very ambitious undertaking for even a known developer like Bethesda (who all of you probably know from their Elder Scrolls and Fallout [3/New Vegas] series). Also if you're familiar with Bethesda's games, you know that they are very riddled with bugs and that's for a single player game. Add in the MMO aspect of DayZ and you can see why it will take a while to get all the bugs out of the system. I just hope that the interest surrounding the game doesn't pass it by by the time they release. As long as it's good, I doubt that will happen.
I'd agree. I have both a 360 and a PS3. I never buy games for the PS3 because I was sick of the "buy a new game, spend 30 minutes updating the system before you can play" window. Plus, if you don't play it daily, it seems every time you go back to it, there is a new update. If it will update itself while not in use, this would make me use it a lot more.TxBuckeye said:GroveDiesel said:

Now I'm really regretting not buying this when it was on sale last week. I have fond memories of that game as a young buck.
I don't use it but the PS3 has a built in Auto Update feature that was added back in October. You just need to turn the feature on and it will check for and update itself if needed every 48 hours.I'd agree. I have both a 360 and a PS3.

I've been hearing nothing but awesome reviews from this game.
I'm enjoying Games with Gold specifically because they are doing some of the older titles I haven't played and am still interested in. For instance Sleeping Dogs, which got some mention in the last few pages, is the download this month. I'll be getting it and be glad I never bought it when I was shopping used titles.
Let's do it!
This month is the first time they've done a game that has released since 2010. Hopefully it's a change for the better. I know I've wanted to try Sleeping Dogs, but I never got around to it and this will give me that chance.
