I played Batman Arkham Asylum a while ago and it was a lot of fun;

is Batman Arkham City as good and if so do any of hte dlc make sense ?

I thought Arkham City was the game of the year last year. I literally could not stop playing it. I even stopped playing Skyrim in order to chase trophies.

I played AC on the PS3 and loved it. Definitely 100% worth the price on steam now if you have never played it.

I'm considering whether it's worth getting it again with the DLC. Reviews for the DLC are terrible though. I'm just curious how it would look in 1080P versus the sucky PS3 graphics. I hardly did ANY side quests either so apart from the plot i didn't do anything else.

The bundle comes with Arkham asylum too, which i've never played so was wondering about this.


Just bought the GTA bundle. The liberty city stories is 9.99 alone, and the bundle is 9.99, but comes with every single GTA, so if you ever considered getting the episodes, the rest is basically free, couldn't resist. I'm curious how this will look maxed out as i played on the PS3. Never modded a game so also curious about the mods available for gta.

I find AC to be better than AA because I prefer the sandbox style. AA is more linear and more takes place indoors, but it's still a very good game.

They look great on PC if you can handle it. They make good use of the latest DX versions without going overboard and crippling your machine.

FFS, I came home from having a few beers with neighbors the other night and for a reason I can only attribute to either slight intoxication or the onset of dementia combined with a sale price right around three bucks, I bought From Dust completely missing the fact that it's an Ubisoft game.

Trying to install it today, I see that I need to create a UPLAY account to play. Which I cannot. Because their servers are down. Thus I can't play.

They really did turn to shit as everyone says. My own fault for not paying attention, but still. Should've bought tacos instead.

Did the same thing, don't worry. I was like "hey from dust, wanted that but don't remember why I didn't pick it up last time around."

Loaded up, fucking UPlay.

Kids, never buy shit when you're intoxicated.

Probably not.

Seriously, buy The Walking Dead. It's really good. And at the price it is now, you're only paying $3 per episode.

Usually games don't go lower than the daily deal. It happened when I bought FO3:GotY and it was cheaper on the recap day though.

Any place that has SS3 benchmarks? I'll wait on it if I can't max it on my current rig.

Anyone like darkness 2? It's the only one I'm seriously considering today.

I loved it. It's an extremely pulpy, violent FPS with a pretty good narrative as well. You dual-wield weapons as well as having "tentacles" that act as your third and fourth arms, which let you gore and slice up enemies in dozens of different ways.
