they ran out of prey keys.

Bioshock cheap instead, worth it for £4

I managed to get a prey key :D

Played the demo then didnt bother with the full game, despite liking the demo. For <£2 you can't argue

Was Prey the one with the little tiny planet in a box?

Post by **Grimmie** » December 29th, 2009, 2:12

Yes, it's a good game :D

Jade Empire is tempting.

The Void, which I bought the other day, is very odd. It's not a game that likes you to know what you need to know. Including whether you like it or not.

I have Jade Empire for the Xbox. I enjoyed it immensely but have only played it once.

I will never buy that.

I own all the games on sale today besides WaW and Fifa, and I don't give a shit about either of those.

It's actually really good, but whatever bro

I wouldn't put it quite as vociferously as Deej, but unless someone does something fucking incredible, and I mean so incredible that it makes you 5punk uncontrollably with sheer joy within seconds of the loading screen, I would quite happily never play another WW2 game again. I feel like I have shot a sufficient number of Nazis now. Something different please.

That was my initial reaction to the game and the reason why I didn't pay £30 for it at launch, but for £15 I'm not going to say no to shooting off limbs with trench guns and planting bouncing betties on the heads of snipers

I quite liked it too, but it could be because I have a love of old guns and flamethrowers. I will never ever reinstall it again after my stats were wiped for the second time though.

I didn't like it, sound was all wrong, didn't feel right.

The single player was a horrid slog towards the end, and the "Banzai!"-shouting troops were like the headless suicide-bombers from Serious Sam, but without the comedy.

Also the German shepherds were as annoying as hell in Medal of Honour, so why they saw fit to bring them back is beyond me.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » December 31st, 2009, 17:13

Medieval II: Total War
Shattered Horizon
Street Fighter IV
Half-Life: Source

Of note: HL:S. £4.49. Fuck off.

Edit:
