Hot Sauce

Two is fantastic, three is really good. Started playing Dead Island and I've been really enjoying it. The weapons breaking every 10 kills is getting a little tiring, but I love exploring the world.

Congrats. Thoughts?

Finally finished Bastion. Such a nose dive in fun once you discover the combat arenas, I loved the shit out of those and going back to the small group, small space fighting for the story made that shit unbearable.

Darksiders is such an underrated game, in my opinion. After you meet that demon who wants you to gather the hearts, it's just a well made Zelda clone with flashier combat. Loved that game, really don't get the hate.

Bastion is fucking phenomenal. The customization in every aspect of the game is just amazing. I can't put my love of this game into words.

Oh sheeet. Details.

Just jump to the second. If you didn't have any interest in playing the first Starcraft for all these years, then it probably won't appeal to you at this point in time. Like Cleotis said, just Wiki the story of the first game if you're interested in any holes in the story that Starcraft 2 doesn't provide answers for.

I don't think so, I can't imagine how'd I go about doing that since the only way to assign a villager to chop down trees would be to right+click on a tree with the villager selected. There would be no way to send them to a grouping of trees since you'd need to have the trees selected as a group but you can't have two groups selected at once. You can create a set of instructions for the units to do by shift+clicking on a bunch of different stuff, and they'll complete them in the order you set. However with gathering nodes they just go to the first node, chop one set of wood, return the woo

Age of Empires Online's unit AI. Say your villagers are chopping wood, you told them to go chop wood and they're chopping the shit out of that wood. In-fact, they chopped that wood so hard that the tree fell down (tree no longer provides wood and your villagers need to find another). There are trees all around the area that they were just chopping down that tree a minute ago, you'd expect them to just keep going, right? Me too, and for the most part the villagers understand this and move on to the next nearby tree, but some of these fucking asshole villagers decide they don't want to ke

They're releasing two new civilizations soon and have said they'll use the F2P with premium content model they used for Greek and Egypt. They could make the 5th and onward civs cost money to simply play, but for now it looks like Japan would be F2P with the premium pack required if you ever wanted to play them in ranked PvP.

i really liked what i played of the beta but the negative feedback on the full game has sorta turned me off, not sure if i should get back into it. What are people saying about it? I see lots of people complaining about how it doesn't play like AoE, but those people are retarded. I was never a huge AoE fan so there might be some subtleties I'm missing, but it plays a lot like AoE3 with an MMO-style hubworld. Tech issues getting installed have been a problem for everybody I know who has given it a shot, we've all got it working eventually though and nothing drastic was require

Age of Empires Online Level 13 (of 40) currently and having a lot of fun with it. The game has a pretty weak first couple of levels and really only provides some difficulty once you get into the double digits for levels, but the MMO-style hubworld provides enough incentive to stick through the early game until it starts getting good. Plan on picking up the premium Greek civilization early next week, the game shoves the premium content into your face a little too often. It's somewhat off-putting but everything gets unlocked for $20, I'll look it as a great $20 game instead of a solid F2P ga

Yeah the glimpses are what I was referring to. Perhaps in future DLC, should let them know it'd be a cool feature on the dev forums.

The game starts showing you the crimes at the beginning of a case after a couple of missions, if that's what you were after.

What kind of trouble? I had some issues figuring out whether I was supposed to choose 'Doubt' or 'Lie' so I made the habit of accusing them of lying anytime I knew they weren't telling the truth. You can back out of an accusation without anything bad happening (as long as you don't pick a piece of evidence), and it'll give you some additional dialogue (Phelps' accusation) which sometimes helps choosing between the two options.

Case with the bloody car; awesome or fucking awesome?

It's getting a WiiWare and PC version in November.

Fable is far from awful, it's just extremely casual.

Well look at it this way, you've got Costume Quest on Wednesday. You do have Costume Quest on Wednesday, right?

It's the best game I've played this year, easily. Most badass ending this gen Spoiler Agreed, but the ending was amazing for more than just the badassery. The character development through most of the game, and especially the missions with John and his family, developed an attachment to John and I actually wanted to kill Agent Ross in the game because of what he did. You spend most of the game chasing Bill and when you finally kill him I just didn't care, I put a bullet in his head and moved on to the next mission. When I found Agent Ross at the river I didn't even bother trying to disa

Finished Red Dead Redemption. I'll probably write a longer opinion about it once I get bored of running around finishing up the challenges and other side stuff, but man, what an ending to an absolutely fantastic game.

Finished King's Bounty: Armored Princess. I had never played a King's Bounty or Heroes of Might and Magic game before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had assumed going in, based on the screen shots of combat that I saw, that it wouldn't be too much of a change in what I was use to, but the small islands and introverted design of quests on these islands is such a charming and fresh way to play a game, even if the formula is rather old. The bosses were really hard, it's rather unfortunate that I found stacking units with the 'Can't be counter-attacked' attribute to be insanely successful

House, M.D It's comically bad.
