Today is Crysis Day, but there's no sale on Crysis 2. Oh, EA.

25% off pre-orders at D2D, you can grab the steamworks titles too

Metro 2033 is just confounding. Wasn't this that tech boner game PC nerds championed? it doesn't even have advanced settings! the cfg files are hidden in the oddest places, and some basic options like Vsync can only be altered in text. What's weird is that turning Vsync on increases the frame rate. And the default FOV is 45. 45. Have to look through hidden folders to change it to something that won't make me dizzy.

Now, here's hoping the game is fun to play.

Yea, EA knows they have to play ball with Valve to a certain extent because that's where all the DD money is at, but they're not going to support Steam anymore than they have to. 25% off Dragon Age 2 and no Crysis 2 sale was pretty telling. If you've seen the newest version of their EADM, it's pretty obvious they're trying to make their own version of Steam.

I've been playing Hydrophobia Prophecy. Pretty cool little game. It's basically Dead Space's atmosphere meets Tomb Raider except underwater.

it also has really low quality gameplay as well but that's neither here nor there
