Avoid Stardrive like the plague. It's got major issues and the dev abandoned it in favor of milking more money with a sequel that would include the mp promised for the original game.

His meltdown in the SA thread for the game was beautiful. That game was such a waste of potential.

I was checking out the sales on some action games (DMC4 & DMC3 bundle for 6,99€, nice) and I found this thing, MARLOWE BRIGGS and the MASK OF DEATH:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/249680/

It looks like some sort of gloriously insane blaxploitation flick turned into a hack and slash game. Has anyone of you guys played this? Is it any good? I mean, I'm probably still going to buy it considering it's literally just 99 cents.

It's pretty good, it's basically a God of War clone but it is very fun. I mean 99 cents? You can't go any wrong with it.

It's definitely worth a dollar. It plays like a budget God of War clone, but it doesn't take itself seriously so it ends up being fun.

Yes! Possibly one of the best things in life you will spend one dollar on.

Do not buy DMC3, though. It's a worse PC port than the infamous Saints Row 2 from all accounts.

If you mean when you're rolling a character, you want to set all the genes to Metastreum and spend a while rerolling til all your stats are 30+ except mental balance which doesn't matter. (Also, never put points into it on level up, it increases and decreases on its own based on how much scary poo poo you've seen recently.) To be really tanky in the game you'll want to get whatever prereqs you need for Dermal Sheath and put money into the cyber implants that make energy regen faster and make Dermal Sheath more efficient.
At some point the game will start throwing armored enemies at you that will take very little damage from most of your weapons. If you just want to shootmans you can work toward the required stats for the BearKiller pistol (it's literally the revolver from Blade Runner and you can shoot down helicopters with it) which will take most of a first playthrough on Normal or you can depend on the unsilenced sniper rifle for armor piercing and branch off into turrets and drones or Psi powers.

Well I was wondering whether to get Mordor for :20bux: on Amazon or pick up a few other games for cheaper on Steam sale, but now Amazon's got Mordor listed as "unavailable". Guess they ran out of codes.

Yep. It's not only a wonky port, but it came out pre-gamepad-standardization. This means that chances are that your left stick will move the camera along all the wrong axes, and you'll only be able to run using your analogue triggers.

As long as you go in expecting a low budget God of War clone you'll like it. It has, at best, average visuals, animations, combat, puzzles, and platforming (fun, if limited, voice acting though) but for $1, or even the... $5 I think I got it for, its a decent brawler that I hope gets a sequel, even if its more of the same average-ness.

Yeah, I bought it the other day and it refuses to run. As a matter of fact, it's the only game I've ever bought on Steam that just flat out refuses to run. Apparently I'm not the only one it's happening to and the devs are looking into it, but that was money I could have put into something else.

Well, I don't live in Europe, so I guess I'll stick with Steam.

As an aside, I noticed that on the store page of Arkham Origins, there are two different entries for the GOTY edition. The only difference I see between the two is that one has Mac & Steam Play support.

Arkham Origins doesn't have a GOTY edition. The GOTY editions you're seeing are for Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Dunno why they're in the Origins Steam page though.

They did completely move on from the game though so if you're in the (now minority) of players who do suffer a particular glitch like falling through the floor of the Alibi Club and getting stuck, there is pretty much no chance of it being fixed.

I really enjoyed the game though it was the least good of the Arkham Games (different developer so no surprise there) and it does a great job of scratching the itch for more Arkham gameplay, and it has some truly stellar moments. At a discount it's a no-brainer to buy because you're going to get dozens of hours of gameplay out of it.

Yo goons, starting up a few rounds of Fibbage/Drawful. You want in, it's free.

Go here, see the room code.

Then go to jackbox.tv and enter that room code. Leave the stream open so you can see the questions. Dick picks welcome. I'll leave it open until the lobby is full/10 minutes, so come fast for goony poo poo!

e: This'll be going nonstop for about an hour, and I imagine people will drop in/out, so keep checking the game for spaces/seeing how dumb this game is. I'll probably be doing this often, so keep an eye out!

Office stuff, like being a content gatekeeper, formatting videos with titles and proper tags, or technical support for our other sites.

Or, if you're a developer, you'd earn some serious money working on our network's backend.
