Just bought Deus Ex: HR for 8 euros and the new Batman for 20. That should keep me occupied until the Dark Souls DLC arrives on the consoles.

Been away for a couple days, still not had a chance to play it yet. How's it compare to the original?
it's best to look at it as sharing the same setting and being a TBS, but that's about the only real comparison, loads of stuff changed, but it's a good game (and better than those shit sequels post apocalypse that had the x-com name on em)
if you want close to 1:1 with the original check out xenonauts, should be hitting v16 today i think and full beta soon
Cool, thanks. Will check out xenonauts. I'll probably try to enjoy Xcom anyway.
Actually, as long as your elite earth defense troops don't start off with the aim of a 2 month old baby, I'll probably be happy.

heads up for you folks if you use this code OS3874XVC atm on checkout on Origin, you can get up to a $20 game for free (earlier you could add a bunch of $19.99 games and it made em all free, but dunno if that still works), but yea free games

dishonoured should be arriving today. im a huge fan of thief and bioshock so this game should be the tits. ill let you know how insane it is.
Awesome thanks! Can't wait to demo it!
tis very good. its incredibly similar to bioshock. to me it feels like an exact cross between thief and bioshock. its the gameplay and ui of bioshock with a similar world and grittiness to thief. about 5 hours in, gonna take this game very slow so theres no gap between this and AC3

Xcom seems alright so far. Still getting used to the camera movement and use of abilities but it seems fairly similar to the original. Doesn't seem quite as creepy as the original despite the better and more atmospheric graphics. It's nice that my guys can actually shoot down aliens though.

Just downloaded Cry of Fear, a HL1 total conversion mod, and I am happy to report that it is fairly scary :)

Not a particular fan of the franchise or even a xbox owner, but as a heads up Halo 4 has leaked, so those who care spoilers are already going about.

its a very good game but its far, far too short for me. people are saying 'if you finished it in seven hours you played it wrong' but ive finished most missions with no kills and without being seen once. i suppose its a game youre supposed to play through quite a few times to experience everything. id definitely recommend it as a purchase regardless. some stunning visuals and the gameplay is fun and very rewarding. the story is pretty engaging aswell. 8/10 from me
