Super Meat Boy is a really well polished game. It just oozes with style. Although some levels are frustrating I don't find myself pulling my hair apart or anything - it's actually enjoyable to finally beat something that has been giving you a hard time. And since each level is so short you don't feel like you're being cheated. Definetely one of the most fun platformers that's come out in recent years.

The menu system in Super Meat Boy is annoying. The way it has to play the fucking intro whenever you back into an area is so annoying.

Those are my only two complaints though. The rest is amazing.


Ohh edit: Should I get Mirrors Edge? Is it worth it?

Should I buy Cities XL 2011? Is it much like what SimCity was like, because I did enjoy those games.

If you do, tell me what it's like because I love Sim City but all versions just fail on Win7.

TTD is a good one though. Get OpenTTD and play that instead. It's free.

I have Mirrors Edge on my PS3. It's very stylistic and interesting but I hated the controls for it. Often I would get killed because of them and found it very frustrating. But then again I'm not used to playing games in first person where you have to make intricate platforming jumps so it may just be me. For $5 though you can't go wrong with it.

nwn2 + expansions for $10. I dunno if you'd want it but I probably spent more time playing this series than any other game, even the civs. not that this makes em the best games ever but I think they're easily worth the money. because of nwn2 I didn't have to play stuff like mass effect (I don't know if I mean mass effect or another game) and whatever other garbage gamer-generation game designers are barfing out now. if you liked the baldur's gate series but didn't try these yet I'd definitely say give em a try. if you need help building a character shoot me a PM :fogetsmile:

Little more advance then your simcity but pretty much the same yes.

I haven't been interested in any of the games on sale to buy them. I was thinking about getting the X thing but I thought too long and I blew it, but I'm glad I didn't buy it anyway I've already played 10 games just like it I am sure. I mean the prices are good and all but nah!

I usually buy tons of games during the Steam sales, but this time I haven't seen a single interesting game despite checking back once or twice per day to see if anything good has appeared. They're all just shitty lackluster scifi and fantasy games.

The only difference really is another year's worth of games and not that many have come down to reasonable prices. Activision continues to take the piss with their prices. They're not worth that much. They're hardly worth the bandwidth.

I bought the Monkey Island remakes, that's it.

Dirt2 for £3.74? Everyone should own that game. So awesome.

I got the Witcher which is supposed to be a pretty decent RPG for 5 bucks, Bad Company 2 was $7 and blows any call of duty out the water so that was definitely worth it. Also the Misadventures of PB Winterbottom is 50 cents and a entertaining platformer. I really want the Monkey Island special editions but I think I missed the sale :(

Today seems to have to some decent deals, I'm contemplating either the Doom or King's Bounty packs.

Mildly temped by the Doom Pack. But the only part of it that I haven't beaten is Doom 3's expansion, MLoD, and the second half of Final Doom... and I own the later 2 on GOG anyway.

Also mildly interested in Section 8. but something tells me it's online servers are dead and I doubt the single player is any thing special or very long.

The rest I either own, don't think is worth the price, or have no interest at all.

So yeah probably not spending any on these.

Yeah the Witcher is pretty goddamn misogynistic. There's a total of like fifteen collectable cards in-game you get for having sex with in-game characters.

From what I've heard the second one is throwing that out the window and is making romance in slightly better taste.

I thought the only reason people played the Witcher was for the sex. I mean, that's what the game is known for.
