Shift 2 is simulation not arcade.

I finally picked up Serious Sam 3 BFE @ $9.99 when Steam had it on sale yesterday...or was it the day before? I can't remember...15 1/2 hours of working, no sleep, but almost time to go home
Can't wait to play it....after I sleep my whole Saturday away

Looking at this flash sale of Divinity II: The dragon knight saga. But with having skyrim and the witcher 2 (which i have yet to play much of), is it worth getting? anyone buy it or try it out?

I bought it a couple months back off of Amazon, a couple of people on here recommended it to me, and I say it is certainly worth it.... if you like SP campaigns. The beginning few hours are dry, but after that it is pretty good. It is probably 60 hours of game play. It is well worth $10!

I voted for it too

I never got to play them, but I know Dungeon Seige 1 and 2 had a huge following, and the third kind of dropped the ball. Aren't they the ones where you led your donkey around in the dungeon?

I never bought DS3 because the demo would hit spots and run like a slide show. Did they ever fix that?
The game's not that bad when you comapre it so something like the initial release of Dungeon Lords.

I seen DS with Treasures of the Sun for $12.50 and considered it, but the demo scares me a bit as well.

I have been kinda promoting my favorite game, lately, natural selection 2 that is in my sig.
This is a live stream of a competitive game with two really good teams. 8 free steam codes for the game are going to be givin away during the livestream. So tune in and catch some codes. The game lasts 11:00-2:00pm pst, although ns2 does have a large worldwide player base.
https://www.twitch.tv/naturalselecti...selection2.comAl

Edit: Its over now.

Bought RAGE today, didn't even know Shift 2 was on Steam, I'm kinda sad I missed out on that for $5.

funny how by the time I have money the sale is over lol.

I did manage to pick up the Deus Ex bundle with all games/dlc for 15$. Never played it but the original is one of the few goty with 90+ metascore games that I haven't played. Plus I never mind old graphics if the controls/gameplay/storyline are good.

Invisible war looks like it took a dive compared to the original but Human Revolution has good reviews.

for 15$ I'm at least guaranteed some decent gameplay.


at any rate, anyone know about today's daily deal Jade Empire? Is it any good? an 81 metascore can really go either way.
