Injustice is showing up at full price for me, in the UK. Is it just for the US?

I'd likely never play it anyway, but a free game is a free game...

Shows up as free in the search box and paid on the store page for me, some cache probably hasn't refreshed yet. Try again later.

PictoQuest and Mad Tracks are available on Twitch Prime, no idea why these two specifically and in the middle of the month either.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I’d almost call AER: Memories of Old a walking simulator, except you are flying around half of the time. No combat, straight-forward platforming, no puzzles that were so challenging I needed a walkthrough.

I liked AER enough to finish it, but it has one of those "indie devs ran out of time/money" endings.

I really like that game. I didn’t get too far because I mostly just used it as a chill bonsai tree type thing, but it’s pretty enjoyable.

Got this and unfortunately it crashes immediately after I pick my player name and class and agree to the training.

that's mainly what it's good for. i kept feeling like it was gonna get really deep and complicated at some point, but it never does. which is fine, honestly, because it does its bonsai tree niche so well.

for whatever reason i constantly confuse it with Godus, that peter molyneux ponzi scheme, though, so every time someone brings it up it takes me a minute to remember that reus is actually real and good.

I found if you were pushing for some of the unlocks it could get difficult? Since you have a time limit on them it's real easy to end up with greedy warmongers. Or maybe I was just bad at the game.

I kind of just let it develop and if I was close to something unlocking I’d give it a nudge but I never went nuts for unlocks, I got a bunch of the early ones and then would just let stuff grow when I wanted to chill out.

nah, most of the high level stuff requires a pretty specific build setup and the resources don't reliably show up. that's part of why i like the simile of a bonsai. if you try to force it in a specific arrangement, yeah, it's probably gonna get weird and it may just flatly be impossible with the restrictions you have. if you react to what's there you're probably going to have a beautiful tree but it might not be the one you specifically had in mind (like one of the specific improvements that large cities build).

No that’s the one and it’s a faithful remaster from a good studio. They’ve done the same magic with Turok 1 and 2, both of which are worth picking up. Would love to see those go free on Twitch Prime as well.

Hey, wish granted. These are the Twitch Prime games that will be available for the month of July:

- Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
- Dear Esther
- Grip: Combat Racing
- Kunai
- Dark Devotion

Starts tomorrow, but I didn't realize they released a listing some days ahead.

Spirits of Xanadu doesn't belong among that collection of trash. It's a pretty short & enjoyable System Shock-like game that's absolutely worth the small amount of time it wants from you.

Played this today. Nice flashback to Shock 2. Even the entry area after you get off your shuttle and venture into the first grav shaft is reminiscent of the layout of the entry to training level for Shock 2. Also a nice moody little game to play in its own right.

I kinda suspect the decision wasn’t really in the epic game store team’s hands, but I guess this was the most neutral press release they could come up with.

I have always considered SR2 one of my favorite games.
The driving is so much fun in it.
Plus you get to spray poop on cops/buildings.

Also my favorite character is british male voice OR latino womans voice.
Those 2 actors did a great job.

I dont know about the women voices but if you plan on playing Saints Row 2, then 3 and 4, British Male has the same voiceactor throughout for continuity. I suggest pretending you're the Joker more or less

Wasn't it Charles Shaughnessy in 2, then Robin Atkin Downes in 3/4?

Correct. The only "consistent" player voice throughout the whole series is SR2's Male Voice 2 (Kenn Michael). Nearly every other player voice changes around at some point!

SR2 is the rare multiplatform game where playing it on console is preferable because the PC port is basically unplayable outside of an obscure combination of clock speed, operating system, mods, and the alignment of the planets so don't sleep on it. Though it has some weird balance and difficulty problems due to its age (sometimes your reward for completing a chain of activities is infinite ammo for a type of weapon, other times it's a coupon to save five bucks on healing items) so you might want to look up a guide or something if you get frustrated or stuck.

Volition announced a year ago they found the SR2 source code and are working on fixing the PC port but it's a two-man team doing it in their spare time and not an actual official remaster so who knows when or if we'll get it.
