They're also free to return their medals and remove their children from the organization. Which is what they're doing.

Thanks for the update. I heard it came out recently, but the reminder here will be good. Maybe this is the kick I need to give it a play with the mod.

People like to say this, but I've seen no evidence. They were shipping out DVD copies in the past couple years and they're planning a collected edition with both 1 and 2 for this year that claims Windows 7 compatibility.

I bought this game collection off the Steam sale and started playing tonight. I only got through 3 campaign mission so far, so not too far, however am sort of getting the hang of it. Seems like there's a ton of depth to explore with this game and any game play videos for beginners have helped quite a bit so far. Can't wait to explore more into the game and its depth as I'm sure it'll provide better and better gameplay. The one thing that bothers me about it is they have limited unlocks. Like, you have to do the world event missions within a certain time frame or you can never get those upgrades. Unless you buy the DLC. Granted, the DLC is only a dollar, that still seems totally uncool.

Anno 2070. I'm really liking this game. I've played one of the world event missions and 3 campaign missions. I think I know what I'm doing, just need to plan my cities better.

He already announced the next ZOE, didn't he?

I enjoyed this playthrough of Alan Wake alot. All the gripes are still there, but given that I didn't pay $60 this time around, it's forgiveable. And the episodes at the end of it had far more variety than the main game. American Nightmare's disappointing, though. The writing is weak. It's just excuse plot.

I have a confession to make. I bought Alan Wake on Steam sale to give it a second chance. I have given in to peer pressure, everyone else seems to love it. Maybe I was too harsh, I don't know. And oh man, I remember these facial animations. In pre-rendered video, no less. Also hit up a little Alien Breed 2 that I got free from last summer's promotion. And Cthulhu Saves the World. Just looking to have something grab me.

Saw The Dark Knight Rises. Really good. Good, albeit predictable, character development. Perhaps a bit too busy. It does seem strange that two of the most important characters to the film were nowhere in the previous movies. It makes it feel disconnected as a trilogy, but it works fine as a single film.

That is absolutely incredible.

Pseudo on-topic. The premier of The Dark Knight Rises was shot up in Aurora, CO.

Someone, anyone, please explain to me why golden gun textures are even a thing. Who actually wants these? Who thinks people want them? I had a golden texture for the proton pack in a Ghostbusters game. It is insane.

Saw John Carter. I really liked it. I would go to see a sequel.

It's like a snake eating off its own tail. I'm rather interested in seeing this play out.

I'm amazed at how many people like Walking Dead. I'm a big Telltale fan and I expected absolutely nothing from it. So glad they were able to pull it off.

Mitra always looks angry. That's how I tell them apart.

Underworld Awakening Meh. I'd watch a fifth movie, but I wouldn't pay to watch it. There was absolutely no character development to the film. If I just want Vampires and Werewolves fighting, I'd go watch the first one.

This sale hasn't been as exciting for me as previous ones. Haul so far is Saint's Row: The Third, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Max Payne 1 & 2, Walking Dead, and some DLC for Saint's Row. That's a humble haul for 6 days.

It got pulled off of all the digital download sites a while back. Then it got put back up with Hasbro listed as publisher instead of Atari. Steam kept it up for longer than most, but hasn't gotten it back up yet.

I really like how my Saint's character turned out.

I think the new THQ CEO is setting Saint's Row up to be the THQ flagship franchise. He encouraged them to turn the final DLC into a full-on Saint's Row 4 and claims to be giving them lots of resources to do it. Getting more people exposed to the third title is a good idea. It's a good game, I'm glad I picked it up on this sale. And grabbed the DLC today.

I seem to be really enjoying Saint's Row the Third. It pays off not jumping on every open world care stealing game to come along. They're fresh when I do grab one.
