Hard Reset, anyone? £1.50 in the Steam sale. Is it good?

No idea but for that price I'm game to try it. Shooter with no multiplayer? That's my sort of game.

I bought it, heard good things but haven't had time to play yet.

Also, Secret World is pretty cheap ATM, which is a B2P mmo about current times and Cthulu mythos and stuff.

Yeah, I just bought it anyway—looks pretty cool, so I'll install it later or something!

Went through a couple levels of hard reset (just caught the professor).

I'm enjoying it. It isn't anything groundbreaking but I'm having a good time.

Anyone playing it know how to switch weapons? I upgraded the plasma rifle but maybe don't have it?

I'm at the same place as you. Pretty cool game, definitely worth it for the price!

I'm playing with a controller and right/left button, with between weapon modes.

Saints Row IV at 60% off? Don't mind if I do. Is any of the DLC worth it?

I haven't seen any reviews of The Saints Save Christmas but I've heard that the rest of the stuff is forgettable.

SR4 is fun if you have a buddy to mess around with, but overall the game is just to "much" and becomes boring.

In my opinion if you liked Saints 3 then you'll love Saints 4. It's better written, even crazier and the super powers completely subvert what we'd come to expect from the gangster sandbox. In my opinion it mixes the best parts from Prototype and Crackdown with over the top stories and silly humor and it does it all while making fun of the other big franchises. How that game starts and how it ends is just amazing through and through.

Personally I cannot wait to play the 5th game if they continue the trend:

Out of curiosity does anyone know how to save games of Call of Duty Ghosts for me to view at a later date? I blasted a team death match the other day, 30 for 1 but could not save to vault. Is it possible on Ghosts?

That is probably why I cannot find it. Why do you think this is? You're missed on the 360, how is the One holding up?

I've got a 90% off Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter coupon in steam if anyone wants it? Valid till the 12th.

Also have a 66% off Jack Orlando Director's Cut and 50% off 140 but figured even less people want them.

Neat little profile of an interesting StarCraft player. Kinda wish the article was longer, in fact. http://www.avclub.co...ging-the-107511

Stuff has been leaked about the Order 1886 which is coming out for the PS4 later this year.

Leaked footage.

It looks really good. I wouldn't go so far as to say it looks like CGI, at least not in the quality of the video they captured, but it looks very next gen. AI looks dumb as a box of rocks though.

How's the new Tomb Raider game? I can get it on PC for $10, wondering if it's worth picking up.

Also going to purchase the original Thief games. I've heard they're amazing, but I have yet to play any of them.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

I've heard it's pretty sweet if a little over the top with the death animations.

Also that's a good call.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
