    Seriously people, get System Shock 2. Not only is it one of the best games ever but I can't emphasize enough how wonderful it is seeing it on Steam/GOG now because 1) while critically acclaimed it didn't sell as well as it should and physical copies were hard to come by for a decade, 2) disc copies were notoriously difficult to run on newer machines, and 3) it wasn't available for digital distribution for a long time because of well-intentioned but ultimately dumb copyright shenanigans.

    The fact that we have a cheap, playable, up-rezed System Shock 2 in this day and age is nothing short of a miracle to those of us who have been extolling its virtues for almost 14 years.

    And SHODAN is one of the greatest video game villains ever.

    but it's scary :(

    That's why I can't bring myself to buy it. It sounds awesome, but I'm a giant baby-man.

    Scary? Who told you its scary? Thats a terrible lie.

    It's a wonderful story similar to "The wizard of oz". Your character (Dorathy) was put into a magical sleep by an evil witch. you are awoken by a good witch who leads you to follow the yellow brick road meeting silly tin man robot who only wants to serve you. but hes got this funny habit of exploding!, Then there is big bear lion man, who only wants to hug you and make you part of his softness. Theres also mommy robot, who wants to help all babies.

    Buy it. Play it. Do whats right sir.

    And now AssRev + Lost Archives are mine as well. Now I have enough AssCreed (between Bros and Rev) to tide me over until AssCreed 3 gets to be a decent price. I know it doesn't have a great rep, but I need closure on the trilogy.

    The Secret World sounds good but £12.49 during a Steam Sale is a lot and I probably don't have time for an MMO with a baby due in under a month...

    You should check if it's a game you can easily play with one hand while holding a sleeping baby. I was able to play Anarchy Online fairly well after my shoulder surgery, they are both Funcom so I'd assume the controls are relatively similar.

    You'll probably get more gaming in the next six months than you do in six years following...I know I did (three years anyway).

    Also, get a boppy. It's the crescent shaped pillow. Putting it around your waist makes it really easy to hold your sleeping baby, sit, and game.

    I've got 4 at home that are almost 3 years old now. I still game a lot - it just all happens after they go to bed. It helps that my wife likes to play, to so we go play BL2 instead of watching TV or whatever quite a bit.

    Very true. In terms of actually feeling like an assassin Ubisoft has never topped AC1. In terms of making me care about the main character and telling me a great story, they've never topped AC2. And finally, in terms of feeling like an absolute badass who's running everything, they've never topped Brotherhood.

    You can really tell what thing was at the top of each design doc after playing the games. Except for Revelations that is. It was fun, but I can't decide what one thing they wanted me to really appreciate in that one.

    Oh, I think they made it pretty clear.

    I searched backgrounds on the market because I was curious about what kinds of things exist. There's some funny stuff out there. The Robot Your Mother Never Wanted You to Have is par for the course for crazy Dejobaan games stuff, and when you force a fairly bland game like Wargame: AirLand Battle to come up with backgrounds, you get stuff like Scandanavian Battlefield, perhaps the blandest possible background that has ever existed.

    Alan Wake Franchise Pack for $4?

    Holy shit.

    Buy this if you don't own it. Right now. Don't even read the rest of this post. Buy it.

    Is it really that good? I mean, it's 4$ for the Franchise so I couldn't go wrong I guess, but I never really read anything about the game before.

    I suck terribly at it and need to go back, but my limited time with it makes it feel like playing a Stephen King novel. With flashlights.

    Listen to this original piece of music written for the game. Watch the screenshots.

    If that isn't enough to make you want it, buy it anyway. It was my game of the year in 2010? I think that's when it came out.

    seriously for the last two weeks every time i've thought about playing Alan Wake it just starts storming.

    once I decided to actually play during the storm and the fucking power went out in the middle of the night.

    did I get the extended reality addition?
