It's got a lot of HUNTING ACTION games on that aren't Monster Hunter, if that's your thing, as well as the best version of Persona 4.

And some visual novels, I guess.

Get Etrian Odyssey 4 instead of Persona Q, I'd say. Persona Q is cute, but it's like both a less-good Etrian Odyssey and a less-good Persona together in one package.

Actually they created a new memory card type available for the low low price of $40 for 16GB and $80 for 32GB (or $20 for 8GB but that holds one game)

3D Realms Anthology Update

3 December - JoeSiegler

Hi Everyone, yesterday (Dec 1st), we released an update for the 3D Realms Anthology which should fix the issue where players weren’t getting the soundtrack when they download the Anthology.

We are posting this here in the Alien Carnage section, because you receive the Anthology when you download Alien Carnage from the 3D Realms Anthology here on Steam.

GETTING THE UPDATE

Fire up Steam
If you had Alien Carnage installed already, check and see if there is an update for the game. If you see it downloading 820Mb, that is the download that has the soundtrack, in which case you're done.
If you didn't have Alien Carnage installed before, download it now. If you get an 820Mb download, you're good to go.




FINDING THE SOUNDTRACK

Once the game is downloaded fully, you can find the soundtrack by looking in your music section in the Steam client.



Under the “Library” section, pick the option that says “Music”, and you’ll see the soundtrack displayed there:



If you don't see the Anthology in the music section, you might need to look for it manually on your system. Here's the steps to find it:

From your Steam library, right click on "Alien Carnage / Halloween Harry", and select "Properties".
On the resultant screen, select the third tab, titled "Local Files"
On the Local Files screen, select the option that says "Browse Local Files"
That will show you where the Alien Carnage files are installed on your computer.


Under there is a directory called "Soundtrack". That is where the actual soundtrack files reside on your computer, and you can access them there if for some reason the steam client doesn't show them in the music section.

Hahaha, no Ubisoft. Just no.



Also, Dirt Rally has got the big Steam banner since its out of Early Access today and does anybody know how well it has fared? I stopped paying attention to it a few months into its update cycle but if the blurb on the store page is accurate its got a fair bit of racing and cars in it now. Has anybody been playing it?

i love snakebird

Snakebird is a game of the year contender imo, the only section that wasn't absolutely top notch puzzle design was the portals area since the solutions tended to be a little more obvious than anywhere else

if you like it you should get Full Bore too, it came out in 2014 and its insanely good in a very similar way to Snakebird, although its a bit heavier on the sokoban block pushing style

Tintin au Congo is a strangely significant piece of work now, simply because of how caricaturist it is. Most iterations of the character have sensibly ignored this part of its history, and the character is such an endearing and cool guy otherwise. He was a huge part of my childhood, and I love Tintin regardless. I wish he had a good game to play, but it's had mediocre success as being a quality series in that regard. It's a drat shame, because it could be something special if done right.

Going by the short dev cycle and the little we've seen so far preview wise, it "feels" like its not a full FarCry game. Also, isn't FarCry5 scheduled for the winter of 2016?

I'm probably totally wrong, and I remain super curious about Primal. I love the idea and the setting, but I'll wait for reviews cause preordering is dumb.

EDIT: Also a full game with a tiger/wolf/sabretooth buddy ala the tiger in Sangri-La? Yes please!

Probably, but I think people were hoping for a smaller Blood Dragon experience. I have doubts that even Ubisoft would have the balls to sell a Blood Dragon-sized game for full price.

this game will make you rage. but, it has a handy feature that everytime you die, the game swears so you don't have to.

each level has a number of checkpoints. each time you reach a new one, a bit of the background is blasted away to reveal waifu du jour

As a soon-to-be-former Vita owner, there are less and less reasons to own one today. About 90% of the stuff in its library are either already on Steam or coming to Steam. Great hardware, but less and less reason to have it.

Can't you buy a PS Vita TV and play Vita games that way instead? It costs like $40 ($90 if you don't have a dualshock controller) and can play vita games.

most of the games on vita that are also on pc are better on vita because of the mobile option

sometimes the framerate takes a hit, but I'd way prefer to play things like spelunky or rogue legacy on a handheld
