No HoI3 love from Evilbore? I'm totally gonna get my bearded grognard on next week, or go unbathed trying!

Akala · « **Reply #181 on:** December 27, 2009, 12:41:17 PM »

I kind of want HOI3, but I know there's almost no way I'd play it right now. May or may not get.

My mind tells me I've bought enough through this sale. I will soldier on regardless.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #182 on:** December 27, 2009, 03:19:02 PM »

HoI3 isn't bad anymore like it was at release, but it's still got a few open wounds, so to speak.

EU3 Complete is the Paradox game you want to get if you are interesting in playing a Paradox game. Three years and three expansion packs have made that game something that rivals the all-time strategy gaming greats.

Rest of today's stuff is totally meh, I agree. Just an FYI, Zombie Driver isn't even worth the $2.50.

Good to know. I could have sworn I already had a copy of vanilla EU3 around here somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. Looks like it's $15 until the end of the sale. I'll hold out hope for a daily deal on EU3 Complete.

It's really, really repetitive. The giant bomb first look nailed it-it's basically ramming zombies and doing the same thing over and over again. There are better time-wasters on the PC , IMO.

That being said, it does make me think that someone could have some real success making a "throwback" indie GTA-style game for the PC. The controls and perspective of Zombie Driver don't feel old or cranky at all.

Zombie Driver would be a lot more fun with they actually gave you a decent amount of weapons, but instead you get hardly any and have to just run over zombies for the most part.

Fuck, I just discovered that Titan Quest is part of the THQ pack, which includes all the CoH games I want. Should have bought the pack instead. Oh well, maybe it'll go on sale. Can you gift stuff after you buy it? If so, some EB'er is welcome to Titan Quest.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #194 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:27:21 AM »

Good morning, Sho Nuff

I predict that I will still buy some cheap ass games despite not even owning a gaming PC. Because

At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #195 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:37:04 AM »

You've reminded me of the REASON for the SEASON.

I gifted a bunch of starving children copies of Torchlight, but they haven't logged in to claim them yet

You can listen to Cat Scratch Fever and Barracuda while playing some lame Pac-Man clone, surely that's worth $2.25.

cool breeze · « **Reply #212 on:** December 28, 2009, 12:31:44 PM »

I'll probably pick up Prey and time please gentlemen (since it's in my cart already). The demo was enjoyable, even though all I really remember is is Barracuda and Don't Fear the Reaper playing.

Caved and bought The Orange Box and now I'm trying to decide between Trine or Braid. Anyone that's played both want to weigh in?

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #218 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:06:01 PM »

Both are really good. Braid is more of a puzzle game than Trine, although both are thechnically puzzle games. If you are interested in games as art, Braid is probably the most cited example, but its a great game in its own right. I would get both

Bebpo · « **Reply #219 on:** December 28, 2009, 03:11:09 PM »

I never got around to playing Prey outside of the Demo. For $2.25, sure I'll pick it up.

The replacement deal is Bioshock for $5.

Prey was originally exclusive to some other short-lived digital distribution service that I can't even remember the name of, and when they went belly-up, 2K signed a deal with Valve to allow people that bought Prey from the other service to download the game from the Steam. Instead of trying to figure out some way that only DD customers could register their copies on Steam, they just let you register any CD-Key.

Yeah but this seems like the kind of game that benefits from rumble, which apparently isn't supported. Oh well. Bought. I actually got a 360 copy for Christmas but I'll just return it. I'm that frugal, yes.

Prey is pretty alright. I totally forgot this was the game where you crawl through anus doors with random portals and gravity stuff around. Wasn't this a 360 launch game? it still looks alright for the most part.
