TF2 is now free to play. Its fun and youll get a few hours of gameplay out, but unless youre a hat fanatic youll probably lose interest

I didnt enjoy TF2 much, at least not as much as Quake Live which has consumed loads of my time recently.

It really is the last of the great FPS generation. When emphasis was on skill and speed instead of "OMGSICKGRAFIXMW2"

That said, Battlefield 3 looks siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

Also the Steam summer sale is on at the moment Fallout New Vegas is $15 now down from $50.
You get awesome deals on Steam, i got Bully for like $3 in the Rockstar sale, Bully is on sale right now again too. Deals only last 24 hours though, so dont miss out

I just bought Trine for $2



looks sick

does anyone own Unreal Tournament 3?

I used to love UT2K series since it accounts for like 90% of my lifetime professional winnings during my professional gaming career.

It looks really cool, but id only want to buy it if theres an active online community.

Unreal Tournament 3 community is dead from what i did read.
Seems more people are playing UT2K4 than UT3

I only played UT3 demo but didnt like it ( Allthouh i loved UT99 and UT2004)

I remember being up at like 5am with school at 8am playing onslaught (i think it was the demo version back then)

just played Trine for an hour.

Its like Lost Vikings, 3 characters with 3 skills/attributes that you switch between to get through the level. Its actually amazing, amazing visuals and controls are good.

my country's average isp bandwidths will never let me play FPS games

$15 for New Vegas probably works out to $0.000000000000001 per hour of gameplay, great game. I just finished Crysis 2 the other night. I enjoyed that and it looks pretty but it was maybe a bit shallow.

Trine looks legit

deus ex and half life 2 were the two best single player experiences i had last decade. i didnt play deus ex until 2009 but man is it good.

i havnt really been into multiplayer fps, but quake live looks like a very fun and hardcore game.

For campaign:

Half - Life 2
Half - Life 2 Episode I
Half - Life 2 Episode II
Modern Warfare I
Portal I
Doom 3
Fear I
Fear II
Bioshock I (2 blows)
COD 2

All of those are must play.

Maybe:
Dead Space I
Dead Space II
Portal II

For Multiplayer:

Team Fortress 2

Also Bioshock 2 with the improved graphics mod, still looks outdated but a great game nonetheless.

wow, i can't believe you think this is a maybe. if there is any game in the world to recommend to casual games i would highly recommend both of these

I hate cs cause i am a totally noob.I think i have 2 options if i want to stay alive more than 5 secs:
A.Hide behind a crate or sth and don't fire a single bullet
B.Stay at the respawn
Team Fortress 2 is the game to go imo

Portal II had a really fun storyline. I was laughing at so much of it and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. There were also less momentum type puzzles (iirc) compared to the 1st which was a big + for me, i hate that shit. First time i completed it i really took the time to explore everything i could then i played through again doing it really quickly. Theres also a lot of custom maps that people don't check out which are really worthwhile in like a lot of the cases e.g http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/downloads.php.

I'm sure multiplayer would be great too..
+ Show Spoiler +

TF2 is a pretty deep game with very well defined class roles that target specific player types. I really fail to see how anyone wont get into this game if they give it at least a couple of days. I'm trying to remember how I started, and I think the first 2-3 days were a big "meh", then suddenly things started to click and now I play it every single night for the last 3 years.

10 mins left to buy Trine if you want it for $2. Its really cool.

TF2 is ruined by having hats/costumes/weapons that you have to buy. You cant have anything reasonably competitive and then have custom weapons which give 1 player an advantage.

Guild Wars 2 looks sick



So does Rayman Origins

+1 for trine altho i think its too late now
played it a bit, sorta feels like torchlight when ur playing but u can easily quit this

u can still get it for $5

Might get the Guild Wars pack and Stalker from todays deals

rayman's world pretty cool looking. rofl when they got into the water level and swim around the coins for a second, was soooooo reminiscent of NiGHTS into dreams. game also looks like it has a really strong earthworm jim feel to it (which is great)

guild wars 2 looks kind sick.. but agh I can't be playing that MMO shit again ffffffffffffffffffffffk
