    Spec Ops: The Line Ending

    Agreed, one of the best character arcs in recent memory in my opinion. I am definitely a sucker for a narrative driven game, so this game certainly earned its place as one of my all time favorites. So glad that I checked it out; I was totally going to blow it off until I saw the praise Yahtzee...

    Spec Ops: The Line Ending

    Seems we made pretty much the same decisions, save for the civilians after the lynching. Once Walker got backed into a corner and the rocks started flying, I kinda lost it, meaning to fire above them but ended up firing directly into the crowd. Amazing what kinda mindset the game's story can put...

    Poll: Christmas and Birthday backlog: HELP!

    So, Christmas and early birthday gifts have completely kicked my ass (in the best possible way), leaving me with a crazy backlog of games I've been desperate to check out for a while now. I am about to finish up Hitman: Absolution (fun game, just doesn't feel completely like a Hitman game to me...

    Returning to WoW

    Well, I wanted to thank everyone for their spirited inputs. I think as soon as my finals end this week I'll go ahead and give it a shot. No harm in trying it again right? Plus a fair number of you seem to enjoy it, and the gripes seem like stuff I could get over as long as the raids are varied...

    Returning to WoW

    Excellent info zephyron, I appreciate it. Most of the pvp I did was on my holy pally, so would still be interested to learn a little bit more about that before jumping back in, but from what you said it's looking more and more like a reactivation may be in my immediate future. Raiding was always...

    Returning to WoW

    I actually had quite a bit of fun with Cata for a little bit, up until Firelands patch. Just a few questions for those who responded: 1. I've heard complaints about the lore surrounding the new raid bosses, but not much about the mechanics? Are they at least interesting? Trying new things...

    Returning to WoW

    So Escapists, the time that every former WoW player dreads has arrived... I'm thinking about reactivating my account. Since I have recently moved (and as such, my social life is practically non-existent) I've been looking for a new/old timesink to fill the void. So my question to all the WoW...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    Agreed totally, such an often overlooked game. While the story is a bit generic, it totally accomplished what it set out to do. While some hated it, I loved the whole time based response aspect of it, as it put you in the shoes of someone actually having to think up responses on the fly (and I...

    Lots of love for BoI, checking out the Let's Play for both of them is probably a solid idea while I wait to see what pops up on sale this weekend. Blood Money is actually what I just got done playing, definitely got my moneys worth outta that, though my buddy keeps chastising me for picking...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    After so many of you guys have suggested FTL, I think I might go ahead and give that a whirl if nothing on sale this weekend tickles my fancy. Thanks everyone for kicking in some rocking suggestions, as well as informing this noob about the wonders of GoG. If anyone can think of anything that's...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    Thanks for the heads up, and to everyone's suggestions! I guess I can slog through the next few days catching up on my netflix queue, if only to check out what they have available for sale this weekend. Every one of those games is currently sitting in either my Xbox 360 or PC collection...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    Having just finished off my first playthrough of Hitman: Blood Money (on Pro no less, because I am apparently a sadistic masochist) I was looking for something in a a little less stealth oriented direction, although I hear from friends and reviewers that Thief II is phenomenal as well. And as...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    The only reason I am concerned about Bindings of Isaac is that despite the incredibly fun gameplay, I feel I might become bored if the story doesn't also change along with it. While it is extremely tight in the "play" department, does anybody feel that that either of the other two would provide...

    Best game available right now for $10?

    Fallout 3 is amazing, but something I have already played through more times than I would care to count. Checked out the demo for BOI; incredibly fun. Thanks to everyone for your input, it is greatly appreciated. Guess I now have the problem of too many choices instead of too much boredom! Given...

    I have heard nothing but good things about Bindings of Isaac (comes highly recommended via acornfilms, though I lack a game pad for my pc), FTL and Bastion. since I'm not sure when my income will pick up again, which do you feel has the better time:money spent ratio?
