I bought Gauntlet and Shadows of Mordor. Of the two, I'm finding Gauntlet a lot more fun due to the multiplayer cooperative aspect of it. It was particularly nice because I was able to pick up the 4 pack and gift it to a few of my Steam friends so that I could spend some time playing with them...

Bit of both - I think 2014 didn't have as many blockbuster titles as there were in prior years. The sales themselves were alright, but the games being sold in general weren't that attractive. I ended up only buying two games during this winter sale, as opposed to around 10 in prior years.

I can't remember how to do it exactly, but I do recall on the first Gameboy Color you would be able to use a debug mode to set the color palette for the game, even if the game itself wasn't programmed to have colors. It was a bit of a novelty but otherwise wasn't very useful.

Speaking of Goldeneye, I'm not sure if anyone else saw the post on reddit recently regarding the emulator that was hidden in the code. It's for the ZX Spectrum console and contains 10 games. Rare is kinda cool in that way for hiding an easter egg literally in their game - you can try it out...

I haven't had too many problems with it. I mean, it's a pain in the butt the first time, but after you learn your way around it then it's just basically just like any other launcher. I don't like that they want to push the microtransaction structure a bit, but once you actually get in to the...

The only thing I've bought this year was a 4 pack for Gauntlet. I wanted something relatively light to play with some friends in co-op over the holidays while we have some free time. It was a good choice, especially at the price. I encourage people to give it a shot, as it's likely to come back...

For me, there are three major factors in what makes a game engaging and fun. First would be coherent and challenging gameplay mechanics. This could be anything from requiring good reflexes, to solving difficult puzzles. Whatever it is, it should be smooth and polished rather than a clunky...

Amnesia is great fun. I had the opportunity to play it during a 24 hour livestream session I was hosting for charity a few years ago and a part of it was spent playing Amnesia. I waited until midnight to start, so the atmosphere was right - it was hilarious playing along with the viewers in...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/258970/ This WAS $9.99 for 1 copy, and $29.99 for 4 when it was on the daily sale. It will likely come back around at the end of the winter sale when they put everything back up. You might want to wait for that! This is a modern reboot of the classic game...

Seriously, the multiplayer itself is worth the price. You just zip around doing extremely action-movie-stunt-man things like flipping a car off of a bridge, hooking on to a helicopter hijacking it, and flying it in to a nearby building before parachuting to the ground... carjacking someone, and...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/48240/ Anno 2070 is the continuation of the Anno series of games. This one is set in the near future with the objective of developing a thriving city-state through the strategic collection and usage of resources. The challenge in this game is to manage the...

I found Antichamber to be a very unique experience. It's somewhat similar to the idea of Portal in that it's a FPS puzzler but it differs in that it employs Euclidean physics as the basis for its puzzles. It's quite a mind job to comprehend some of the puzzles and I honestly solved a lot of them...

Yeah mixed reviews overall, but I think that's because a lot people might be buying it expecting character development and the typical hallmarks of a full-fledged game instead of a dungeon crawling hack and slash.

I just don't understand the incentive for including a system like this in a community where people are supposed to get along and hold meaningful discussion. It just seems like an addon feature that's mindlessly tacked on without consideration of the overall theme of the place. I get that...

i5-2500k 16 GB RAM 660 Ti It's getting pretty aged and I'm looking to upgrade soon, but I'm not sure if I want to hold out until Q4 of 2015 to take advantage of some sales. This is mostly so that I can run Star Citizen maxed out, so I may very well wait until there's a confirmed release date...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/8190/ For less than a cup of premium coffee from you-know-where you can purchase a game of hilarious multiplayer madness. Just Cause is one of those types of games where you play the hero (or antihero) that is an unstoppable killing machine. You're effectively...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/258970/ This is a modern reboot of the classic game Gauntlet Legends. It's one of the forefathers of the rogue-like dungeon crawlers where the objective is to slowly hack and slash your way through multiple levels of procedurally generated dungeons. This game...

Does anyone still play these games? They're among the first 4X style games I played as a kid and they were amazingly fun. Think something along the lines of Civilization except across multiple star systems instead of countries. Units were customizable with research going in to their weapons...

Yeah I think it's a new offer as of around end of November. You can access it from your battle.net account - be aware though, as soon as you click on the trial it will reactivate immediately so maybe download the client and whatnot before reactivating to get the most out of it.

I see that the credit system is gaining some momentum and wanted to address this point. I logged in earlier to an alert that said that my credits had been stolen. I have two major issues with this: I had no idea if that meant my account had been compromised, and second, after I determined that...
