Thanks, I'll look it up.  My computer freezes a lot now, but if it's cheap, I'll give the game a try. 
All three of them are $20 on Steam.

I might check out Amazon instead.  I'd rather have a hard copy, in case Murphy decides to check out my computer.

I must say, I'm really loving this week's Jimquisition episode. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Mario franchise has been horribly stagnant as of late.

PC gamers who enjoy a good challenge should be advised, Dark Souls releases on Steam 10 days from now.

Skyrim is a completionist's nightmare.

I'm over 110 hours in and I haven't even gone up to High Hrothgar in the main quest-line yet. I've just been dicking around doing all of the side-quests in the holds. I actually have a pattern in that I go to one hold at a time and do all of the side-quests there before moving on to the next hold. First I did Whiterun, then Falkreath, and now I'm in The Rift, and I think next is either The Reach or Eastmarch.

Sometimes, you'll pass random guards and they'll remark, "I wonder what the Dragonborn does when they're summoned by the Greybeards"

...To which I'd respond, "If that Dragonborn happens to be me, then they fuck around for several months performing fetch quest for random strangers and becoming the supreme leader of every guild in the entire country."

Fuck the Greybeards, they can wait. I have 50 more random caves full of bandits to kill so I can loot all their shit and sell it off to merchants.

I'm still fucking around in New Vegas.  Haven't even returned the Platinum Chip back to Mr. House.

Ironbite-and I'm almost at level cap.

...If I didn't already beat the PSP version all the way through the post-post-game (no, that isn't a typo), I would be drooling.

Games For Windows Live DRM is sort of a dealbreaker for me.

Ok so for those of you too lazy to click the link, it's been revealed that there's a third Mann brother who's been kept alive all these years.  Yes there is a story to this fucking glorified deathmatch game.  So he shows up, kills his brothers, then sets sight on Mann Co.  Because his brothers were idiots and didn't understand that their dad had left them land that is...useless.

So he's built a machine that will drive up to a random Mann Co. building then unleash robotic versions of the Team Fortress dudes.  Wave after wave after wave.  And it's your job, along with 5 of your buddies, to fend off these waves.  And the video indicates that this is a mix of Red and Blue.  So yeah...CO-OP!

Ironbite-it's...so awesome.

New version of Final Fantasy for PC was released today.  I've heard good things about it except for the music.  It still uses the midi music that came with the original PC version.  Here's the link for those interested http://finalfantasyviipc.com/us.  I'm pretty sure it's NA only though.

I wonder if it fixed the horrid translation at least.

It would seem that a 75% off Portal 2 voucher has just appeared in my Steam inventory. I can't use it, seeing as I already have Portal 2, so if any of you lot want it then let me know.
