I half expected today to be Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
Sanctum was a hidden gem imo. My friend and I turned off voice chat in favor of typing and hearing the stephen hawking voice. Plus the mechanics are solid and its a good time.
Retribution is a standalone revamp of DoW2 and is a must have for pretty much anyone. RTS fan or not.
Get em!

I liked Sanctum for the first couple of levels, but it rapidly turned much too difficult to complete solo. It might've gone better if I had friends to help me out, I don't know.
******* Bobbleheads.
That is all.
That is all.
i believe they are called "buttfaces".
Final haul:
Amnesia
Audiosurf
Batman: AA
Bioshock
Bioshock 2
Braid
Company of Heroes + Opposing Fronts
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
Just Cause 2
L4D2
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Portal 2
Terraria
Torchlight
Mind you, I started with almost no games aside from one or two installed MMORPGs, some "ancient" stuff like Fallout 1/2 & Medieval: Total War and the Orange Box. So I should be set for a good while. Think it averaged to a little under $7 a game.

I made sure to fill my wishlist. I'm hoping those 5 entries can win me some free games!
good god joph, you are worse than me.

He apparently binges on games once every 8 years or so, then retreats from the industry.

I think the last time I bought a game, it was probably 2006 or so.

That's quite a nice haul Joph. It'd be cool of you to let me know how you like the ME series. I've been playing some of FO3 that I bought and this is a beautiful game. I probably should give it a reloook on the 360 now that I have an HDTV.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

I'm tromping through Portal 2 now but may take up Mass Effect next since I also did Bioshock and played around with some L4D2 and am ready for something besides zombies/pseudo-zombies.

Also, (and this is painfully obvious on retrospect), don't go in guns blazing. Cover is there for a reason. You need to use it, especially in the early game.

Bleh, it appears this laptop can't even handle Company of Heroes. Guess I'm going to have to wait until I can set up my desktop.

Someone should probably warn you that husks in ME are kinda like fast moving zombies.
How about setting? Stay futuristic? Between Bioshock and Portal 2 and with memories of Fallout 1/2 still fairly fresh in my head, I'm getting a little retro-kitsch'd out as well. I'm going to need a breather before considering FO 3. Maybe after ME, I'll try DA:O.

It is most definitely futuristic.
It might be a better change of pace to play something a bit more mindless like Torchlight before starting on ME and ME2. You're in a for a very long haul if you start on those two.
I break up my long-haul style gaming with mindless fun in TF2, L4D2, Audiosurf, etc when the mood grabs me. I just don't need to consider what those games entail since they're just ******** around. I installed Just Cause 2 last night -- haven't played it yet but folks say it's good sandbox fun.
It's like asking which book to read with the understanding that you'll still watch TV sitcoms between chapters.

I hear that you can jump out of a helicopter, freefall, grappling hook your way into a passing plane, steer it into a nearby mountain, bail out just before impact, blow up a building with a rocket launcher as you fall past it, then pull your parachute 1 second from impact to save yourself.
Something to that effect. Sounds rather dull.
yes and you can also grapple guys to airplanes, and passing vehicles, and my personal favorite: grapple them to the exploding canisters that take off like a rocket when you shoot them.
Hell i think its fun just 'grapple-chuting' your way through a jungle.

If I can't do that perfectly the first time I play, I'm going to ragequit and go on the forums saying how much the game sucks.
