just started playing uplink from the humble introversion bundle, it is a hacking simulator and it is a lot of fun.

also dungeons of dredmor, holy shit is it fun, highly recommended, even if you don't play roguelikes it is pretty entertaining.

on the 2nd to last level in super meat boy. right after getting the key there is this jump but a buzz saw right at the corner. fairly certain I need to wall jump but its a difficult maneuver. doesn't help that it's at the very end.. I could probably play through most of it blind with how many times I've ran it

Uplink's really cool, hard though - I always ended up getting traced and not knowing why.

Also, Dredmor's OK, but I only really got one afternoon of fun out of it. It's a great training-wheels roguelike for people who aren't familiar with the genre, but it lacks depth - you can't even attack or move diagonally, which seems nuts to me. What's more, the art/animation style rubbed me up the wrong way. I think I'd just prefer ASCII graphics.

At first I thought it looked overly cluttered and simplified, but I actually think it is kind of cool. I've had an ascii roguelike overload lately and have been enjoying games that boil that formula down to the basics while still being fun.

MW3. Same old game but addictive as crack.

I just bought a PS3 and GTAIV and couldn't get past the first mission.... what do I do now? Hang myself?

Just purchase PSOne Classics, Nate. This is what the PS3 was made for!

GTAIV was surprisingly boring for me.

gtaIV is mad boring. try Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire instead.

What? GTAIV was amazing. So was Red Dead Redemption. LA Noire got boring though.

ricky downtown has a point though

ok so heres the plan i am gonna buy rage limbo skyrim and civilatzation 5 ON STEAM right now for 109 dollars is that a good deal?? idk if i REALLY want rage i think nows a good time to buy it tho cuz i do want to play it so

There's a demo of Rage on XBL. I tried it earlier today and I couldn't get into it. It looks wonderful and the framerate is great but finding my way around the small town you start out in was a pain in the ass because there's no map (at least I couldn't find one). I didn't even get to the action part before I quit the demo.

therse no map in an open world game what theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well i decided not to buy it anyways because im gona get tribes ascend beta

I'm not 100% sure if there is one when you're in the Wasteland but as far as I remember the lack of a map was one of the the big complaints in Giant Bomb's review.

new Zelda is great, but fuck I spent like 3 hrs talking to NPCs before the real quest started.

Cool. Do you have any other games, I've never played any of the resistance games but I think I might pick up the first 2 because they are wicked cheap.

I just purchased Limbo on Steam for $2.49! :sup:

I have no idea how resistance 3 rates in comparison to really any other fps because i haven't played one since the original halo, but with the move i've had a blast in a genre i usually find utterly stultifying. I just picked this one up because I've always been a big fan of insomniac, i.e. rachet and clank. I might get the first two as well. Other than that I picked up fifa and tiger woods 12 cause i love footy and golf lol. I forgot how much fun video games are!
