I bought Blood when it was on sale a little while ago. I just finished episode 2 (Albeit on one difficulty lower than normal), and I'm really loving it so far. It's a great game, though I'm not really used to the build engine when not using a source port.

If you enjoy stuff like H. P. Lovecraft and Evil Dead then Blood is like the best thing ever times a million.
Love because there's a couple of games that I want. (Seven Kingdoms 2, Capitalism 2, Warlords Battlecry 3)
Hate because it's another one of those 'up to' sales where you get less if you don't buy all of them. And added to that I feel 5.99 each (at 40% for Cap 2 and Battlecry) is still quite a bit to pay for games this old.

I associate XIII with the first PC I ever built, because it was one of the first demos I downloaded on that thing. Seemed neat, but it got mediocre reviews and I stayed away.
Didn't David Duchovny voice the main character? It wasn't exactly obscure. There was quite a bit of press surrounding it, and it came to multiple platforms.
XIII was alright, but it ended on the most ridiculous cliffhanger. Also, the gameplay was pretty refreshing at the time because it found ways to break up the run and gun. Now in days, I can't imagine it holds up anymore, and it probably feels pretty mediocre.
Every now and again I have the urge to play older style FPS. The last one took me from Red Faction 1 to No One Lives Forever, with a few in between. Although I'm not in that mood now, I'm sure I'll be hankering for it soon enough if it works on my netbook.
For full disclosure I haven't played a modern FPS since Modern Warfare and even though I kinda enjoyed it, I'm more of 90's style run'n'gunner.
You know, thinking about that, I'm pretty sad that Criterion's Black never got a PC release. I'd like to play that sometime again in the future
Ma, I really wish that GoG would snag the rights for Summoner. I recall having a lot of fun with that game before the discs were stolen along with my first PC when I was younger.

I thought I was the only one that liked the Summoner games!

Well, I think the point of the Icewind Dales games is that they have next to no story, but each battle is tough. If you're not a min maxer, then you must not be adverse to hitting the space bar every couple of seconds to micromanage your parties abilities.
I mean, don't get me wrong, the game is great, it's just mainly about using your abilities effectively.

Heh I have some fond memories of playing multiplayer and the music/atmosphere was pretty good. Went to go vote for it on Wanted list but I already had, yay!
Icewind Dale is just good RPGing at its most basic. Going into dungeons and killing mans and getting loots. The graphics, sound, and general presentation are fantastic and the battles are pretty much the best on the infinity engine if you're a fan of that. I would highly recommend them.

Sounds like the very opposite of Planescape: Torment, then.

Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst
Nine was the terrible one. Eight was okay, but acquiring a dragon made some bits of it too easy.
I never played a lot of it, but I'm sure it's fine. 9 was an abomination, though.

Loving and hating this at the same time.

Definitely getting Seven Kingdoms 2 though, hmmm

It really does the comic book thing well, and has some neat mechanics.
I'd probably still snag it on a sale.

I got it a week ago and prefer Troikas engine against Biowares. The story isn't as good but it's not the games strength fortunately.
Just make sure you get the latest Circle of Eight bugfix and content mod (should be 6.0.0NC) before you start a campaign for reals.
Also learn to save
alot
Does the GOG version include the bug fixes by default?

They only ever patch to the latest official patch; Circle of Eight is a fan patch, so you'll need to get it separately.

But he is persistent, I'll give him that.
I don't powergame or minmax or any of that shit and I also enjoyed the Icewind Dale games.

after a point. Getting through the first sections even with min/maxing is super hard. After that it gets just super fun.
Once you get to mages and priests casting every turn, you're hitting space a million times a second anyways so yeah... same thing.
