Adam Smith, is that you? Anywho, guy drew a comparison with Uncharted and that alone settles it, far as I care. You latex-clad lazar kite of the cloth, you. Not with a 10ft pole!

On a more positive note, whilst I've neither finished it nor decided what to make of it, Sword & Sworcery's sights & sounds have me smiling like a moron.

Seems I was wrong. It is a true successor. Behold.

Yes, it's a relentlessly charming experience.

I gave up on Invisible War because it was clunky as hell and bad. Uninstalled after 1 hour.

During the Steam sale I bought a few games: Hotline Miami, Deadlight, and Super Meat Boy.
Of the three I have to go with Deadlight as the best, surprisingly. It plays like the original Prince of Persia sidescroller, is hard but not packed with unforgiving frustration. The setting is cool and the environments look great. Very well put together overall with a story much like something from the Walking Dead comics. I recommend it.

Hotline Miami is basically the movie Drive done like the original NES version of Metal Gear. It's also 100 times faster and has awesome music. I also recommend it but you need to be loaded up on caffeine while playing. If you blink you die.

Super Meat Boy is another typical sidescroller platformer puzzle dealy sort of like a faster version of the impossible Mario Brothers thing. I recommend it if you like yelling at your computer and doing the same combination of sliding/jumping until you get it exactly right.

Just uninstalled the new XCOM after being bored/annoyed to shit with it, I didn't want to finish the game due to poor combat mechanics I liked the AP style system better than the current 2 action system, if you end up in a bad firing position, you are just stuck without a shot.

Forget the dee-ell-see, Hotline Miami 2 is going to be, at some point. Encouraging. Proof !

Honestly, Cactus is wonderfully bizarre.

I love these kind of remixes. The Fist of the North Star one was always a favorite. The one you found is a pretty good one.

Also, Stacking has arrived at GoG. Huzzah.

I got bloodbowl on sale on steam. Seems brilliant. Hard, unforgiving, turn based, and really tactical.

SenisterDenister · Post by **SenisterDenister** » Wed Nov 28, 2012 8:04 am

Bloodbowl is good, I'll give it that. I liked the Tomb Kings the most, although I don't remember if they were referred to as Tomb Kings or not in the game.

The Skaven are fun.

Xcom is decent. Also, hard. Unfortunately, its stream-of-the-line with guns and aiming renders its potential for hilarity much lower than mister S2. So yes, although it plugs a turn-based hole, it's never going to be like using a panzerschreck to cut through a brick wall to get to the nazi on the other side, only to have the building's front fall apart, revealing 5 others who look like they were having tea or something.

Also, valuable as they are, it's hard to care about egyptian sniper, Captain "Longbow" when he (along with everyone else) sounds like generic american space marine #347. Unlike the squad in Storm and their cheesy dialogue.

Silent Storm and XCOM are different animals. The Firaxis remake had a lot more in common with tabletop wargames instead of just being a turn-based tactical game. I actually like it for that reason.

I'd hardly noticed, what with the giant Nazi steam-punk mechs filled with fluorescent green toxic goo. All the same, good squad based fun though.

Still horribly disappointed that the panzerklein couldn't be used to stomp through walls.

Also, horribly disappointed by the X-COM reimagining. As shiny as it is soulless.

Blatantly tangental, but the latest bumble hundle is worth a look if you don't mind Steam.

SenisterDenister · Post by **SenisterDenister** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 3:53 am

I already had most of those games, but I bought it with the hope I could give my friends, who don't own the games I do on the list, could be gifted them on steam.

Despite getting a single key, I did get Red Faction and Dark Siders for a dollar, so there's that.

Blargh · Post by **Blargh** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 5:51 am

Far as I can tell, Saints Row 3 is the only one that can be gifted/traded. Or maybe I'm wrong about that. No idea. Transparency !

<strike>But at least they're DRM free</strike>, oh wait.

FYI, Far Cry 3 is Far Cry 2 but fantastic. Also, not tedious (yet). Six hours in. Hunting deer with a flamethrower, knife fighting sharks before they tear you in half, C4 delivery by hang glider, watching pirates being terrorised/mauled by bears/tigers/cassowaries, the unrelenting ascension of the protagonist from gormless tourist to sociopathic thrill killer . . .

Simply put, it's magical.

More later, probably.
