Help
About Bastion. I played a little past half way yesterday. It really is a quite good game but it also short. Unless you are the type who likes to do replays on MUCH MUCH harder difficulties, then it wont last you long. Maybe 6 hours for the first play through I am estimating. How ever if you just like challenging combat then I think you will love the Shrine difficulty system.
You are capable of selecting a kind of arena story where you fight harder and harder enemies. To make this even more difficult selecting "blessings" in the shrine, which are actually a form of handicaps, you can make the combat exceptionally difficult. Each blessing does something different like making enemies have more health, making them faster, stronger, etc.

tips on dragonslaying, per the Witcher 2:
"The best tactic when meeting a dragon is pray to all the gods with no exceptions. Atheists should run-they can thus extend their lives for a few heartbeats. It must be stressed that any of these choices would end in death when made by amateurs"
I honestly laughed.

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard

Witcher 2 is on my list too! Along with at least half a dozen other games at the moment too.
Anyone interested in some Mass Effect 3 Demo Co-Op sometime soon?

well, Hero Academy just gained a new team and continues to be my favorite iPhone game. It`s to be released on Android too, if it hasnt been already. Although in total I`ve probably spent about as much time playing myst and monkey island, but that`s soon to change I reckon.
I`m still trouncing vengyboy, but it`s starting to become a close thing.

I really enjoy it. Like a lot. Ive got to finish before I get ME3, so I'm probably going to be playing it a lot this weekend.
Just FYI, Play it on HARD if you want it to be enjoyable

Baldur's Gate 1-2-Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale 1 + 2, Planescape: Torment and Temple of Elemental Evil for £5. Stupidly good deal.

I just finished Uncharted 3. Relative to the first two, it had an underwhelming finale, but in general still a great game, with some of the best set-pieces of the whole series.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What he ^ said 
And for those too lazy to check the source:
"Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine
For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory.
And then... it returned. Better than it was before.
Pore over the tapestries and works of art hanging from our walls if you wish, Child of Bhaal... perhaps you will find a clue. But patience, ah... patience would reveal it all."
"As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does life."
I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few weeks

These are the guys who did the HD remake of MDK 2. I'm not getting my hopes up for much more than BG HD or some iOS port, but it's difficult not to dream 
edit: tweet by the developers

Do bioware still have the rights to produce Baldur's Gate on the PC anymore? I seem to remember there rights to D&D rules lapsing so they could only make them on consoles.
regardless I am ridiculously excited by the fact that we might get a new BG game, or even just a graphically improved remake.

It's not BioWare.

Risen is the true successor to Gothic 1 and 2. Play it! It's fucking awesome.
