The comments here are all somewhat minor niggles about the puzzles. The setting, characters, music, etc. are all lovely. You should definitely get it if you're on the cusp.

It still has the worst name ever. Some indie adventure games can be excused for names like this, but not anything coming from an actual proper studio.

So did people get Arma II? I think it's back on sale. Some Thumby Arma action would be awesome.

It's the gameplay that lends power to the cutscenes, not the other way around. Cutscenes are an effective form of driving a linear narrative, and there's no reason to shy away from them completely as long as there is a strong backing in gameplay, which all of those games do have.

I was thinking of getting this. If there are enough thumbs interested in multiplayer for it, I'll definitely get it. I don't know how frustrating me getting slaughtered repeatedly would be for the rest of you though

Yes.

Yes (and only over the net). Up to six players apparently. I only know of it because Tiberius of Ultima Lazarus worked on it. I think he did some of the level design.

Sure. I mostly bought it (and Titan Quest) to get another co-op game to play with the brother. I've never played DoW2 or any RTS since Total Annihilation though. Not a genre I prosper in. Also, for Metro 2033 which has been beckoning me for a while and now I have the PC to run it.

Goddamnit. I did my best not to buy anything but ended up getting the THQ complete pack

Nah, man, Colonization came out three years later than Civilization. I loved that game, although like Civ I was never good at it. The new one has some problems that take the fun out of it

But Sundays are for zombie slaughter and C4

I skip over the pain and gloom posts.

Woah. Fine, I'll buy the goddamn thing.

Kingz, how long had you owned Ada before the new puppy followed you home? Because the new one looks a bit like your older dog. My first thought was the puppy smelled its mother.

The kicked my ass. Other were easy. If I ever get the chance to I will do it without hesitation.

Damn, I can't. Friday's not good for me

Absolutely!

I don't think so. I doubt it. I would've suggested the Grand Canyon and The World's Largest Ball of Twine.

Man, I have such a love-hate relationship with him. Anything he says about movies, I tend to agree with or at least respect. But for some reason he insists on taking a stand regarding something he just doesn't understand. Why do that? I guess he just doesn't see what a fool it makes him look like for most everyone younger than 30.

Driver had a pretty revolutionary movie recording mode, I remember that. I didn't spend all that much time with it, but most was fiddling around with the clip recording stuff.

That's atrocious. What the hell are they doing to the packages? I hope you get everything in working order. By Sunday.

That's great, gdf! You were wasting time hoping for self-catered accommodation, you could have just presumed self-catering

Man... "dark fantasy" everything is dark and miserable, people live in filth and destitution, and every woman has two pounds of silicone threatening to topple them over at any moment.

Team17 hasn't put out anything really worthwhile in a long, long time. Only rehashes of their old franchises that fail to capture the magic and stuff like this.
