I'm guessing you guys play/have played Scribblenaughts. I already have Batman Arkham City, so is it worth paying an extra 4 dollars to get Scribblenaughts in the new Humble Bundle?

Gravity Rush is kind of fun if flying around a floating city is your bag. And why wouldn't it be?

scribblenaughts is pretty cool. i already have arkham city as well. but i wouldn't go and get it. still 4:00 is pretty cheap.

also i beat outlast at last! it was good, scary, and i do like the ending. its a survival horror thingy, unlike silent hill where you can fight back. you can't fight back in this one, you have to run, hide, and be stealthy

i tried haunted memories, a slender game. its still giving me issues but it has alot of potential.

i'm nearly done with thief. my one complaint during the game had been the fact that i couldn't find a tasty storyline to dig into for a good chunk of it. which is fine i guess, you're just a dude stealing stuff. but then a wild plotline appeared! i intend to capture it!

May I recommend Skullgirls? It's a 2D fighting game with an all-female cast, just €13.99 on Steam. I doubted if I should pre-purchase it, but since I did, I never regretted that purchase a SINGLE time. It's just perfect. The soundtrack, art, gameplay, etc. are all impeccable, and still convince me that this might be one of the best games I ever played. And I never even liked 2D fighting games before.

I decided to try Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition on a whim and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought. I never thought I'd say this but I like it a lot more than Tekken.

i suck at fighting games
i really do

Wait Jonny you play Tekken?

....dude, we need to work out a time for us to play some games...I got SSF4 as well, although I haven't played it in aeons.

...also, Street Fighter x Tekken...need to get back on that game... [ ]

In fighting game I'm the friend who spam the low-kick just to annoy his friends.

Stupid Civ 5 is eating up my free time!

JUST ONE MORE TURN DAMMIT

I WANT THAT, IT LOOKS COOL
JUST GIVE IT TO ME, SAM
YOU'LL HAVE MORE TIME
SOLID DEAL I'D SAY, YES

I've spent so much time on this one Civ V game with a friend of mine, only to lose to stupid England because we got distracted. GODDAMMIT PERSIA STOP BUILDING CITIES AND DIE ALREADY.

I think my next fighting game is going to be Injustice, but I like SSFIV too.

I just finished playing through Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea.

Wat

I got a Vectrex...it apparently arrived today...I'll let you guys know how awesome it is....[ ]

I JUST BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA THIEF GOLD
such a good feeling, beating that game. the graphics have not aged well but the story and gameplay makes up for it in but loads.

I had a similar experience with Deus Ex. Good god that is a good game.

Am I the only one who isn't all that excited by Super Mario 3D World?

Nope. I've kinda lost faith in Nintendo games in general.
There's a new Zelda out and I really couldn't give a shit, to be honest. A few years ago I wouldn't believe myself saying that.
Maybe it's because they finally achieved 3D and suddenly the new gimmick is 'can become a 2D picture on a wall' which seems to be rather missing the point.

I think the problem I have is that at least on Kotaku it's being touted almost as a Greatest Hits of the Mario series in general and that feels a bit like a copout, even if the source material in question is excellent.

I guess it's also down to the fact that for me, video games have become a far reduced presence in my life with me working full time. It takes a lot for me to actually finish a game and a lot for me to want to return a series after playing more than one or two games in it. I just feel like having played about 11 different Mario games, not including Mario Karts, I've had my fill: I'm tired of that world, despite the gameplay mechanics underlying it being rock-solid.

It's unfashionable to say so, but for me playing video games is about immersing myself in a world as much as it is about manipulating a little character across a video screen. Take a game like Tearaway: I don't know if it'll be a good game and I doubt it'll be a great one, now. But it looks interesting: it's breaking boundaries from a visual and conceptual perspective and I'd rather play that over a series I feel forced into praising because it's so popular. Irrespective of whether that popularity is deserved.

medic asked me to play this. unfortunately its still in beta and some glitches include the save states not working.

So, it's Steam's Spring/Autumn sale, and so games are once again absurdly cheap.
One of the games I picked up (for today, anyways) was Antichamber.
And well, it's certainly unique. It's... Something. I guess it's a puzzle game?
I feel it's more aptly described as 'A surreal ramble through a series of rooms and corridors that aren't on speaking terms with reality with occasional puzzle elements.'

I feel it was worth the $5 I paid, however. it certainly grabs your attention and is quite compelling.
So yeah, if you've some pocket change I suggest checking it out. But, uh, soon. Steam's rapidly changing sales and all that.

GUYS DO I NEED SKYRIM?
IT'S 75% OFF BUT THE SALE ENDS IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS.
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO

It's a pretty fun game and I got dozens of hours out of it. If you liked other open world games you'll probably like it.
I did find that my interest in it vanished abruptly, usually whenever my current character inevitably became a god of murder. Once you hit a certain level all challenge evaporates and with it, I feel, the fun.
More food for thought, however: If you buy it, do you pay double to get all the DLC by buying the Legendary edition? I've got no advice, I never played the DLC.

I tend to wait for DLC packed in with the base game nowadays. Unless it's something like Bioshock, with a big story element to it, why pay over the odds for things like DLC when the GOTY edition is invariably around the corner?

SO MANY SALES
SO MANY.....SALES
I JUST DON'T KNO WHAT TO DO!

DO A BARREL ROLL!

Rymdkapsel is surprisingly good! Give it a try if you have a smart device.
