Links?
Seriously, I'm curious to see your opinions on some games.
Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!
What I got to play of the RUSE beta was quite fun, but my computer at the time couldn't handle the game at all (and still can't for that matter, no upgrading wheee). Seemed decent.
Anyway. Beat Hazard. Get it. Really could not recommend it enough.
Good luck finding anything of mine right now, though. I haven't written for them in a while due to university commitments (like, y'know, not failing), and we lost everything pre-2010 thanks to the editor being about as technically adept as a chimp on LSD.
Anyway, while I'm here:
Beat Hazard is excellent at that price, but it really depends on the music you're plugging into it.
Everyone should really already own Deus Ex
Shadow of Chernobyl is excellent at that price, but I'm not sure how well the Steam version works with mods - I've heard tales of the Steam versions not liking the Complete mods, but that may have been fixed.
AI War? £1.79? BUYBUYBUYBUY
If you're gonna get into Guild Wars, get Nightfall and Eye of the North.
Wings of Prey was pretty good on (whisper it)
consoles
.
Monday Night Combat is a pretty good port.
Can't really speak for any of the others, except to note that Call of Duty was that price in a weekend sale a couple of weeks ago. Thanks, Activision!
Guild Wars is a mostly instanced MMO (technically a CORPG) that's pretty fun despite a low level cap. You pick a main class (6-8 depending on which Campaign you pick, ten professions in all), a secondary class, and use skills from those classes (carrying only 8 skills at a time) to defeat enemies in missions and areas and stuff, either with other people or with a group of Henchmen/Heroes (AI controlled/AI controlled but customizable and only available in Nightfall/EotN).
The Trilogy for $15 is a steal. I'd suggest anyone skeptical of playing GW to pick this up now (plus, you get a max-level Hero to help you out). Then, if you like it, pick up EotN (although it's only $10 now, sooo...)
If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Yes, respond to a reasonable post with an absolutely unnecessary request to leave. You sure are an awesome poster and are warmly welcomed by everyone here at this site, and we sure don't want you to fuck off or anything

See what I did there? I responded with the exact same validity of the guy you're whiteknighting!

One moronic post by ReaperCharlie.

He's being fooled by the whole "I'm a girl, guyz!" thing.

cry some more.
Seven moronic posts who couldn't let RC post two words without jumping down his throat.
I'd say it's pretty obvious who the shitposters are, if you know how to count anyway.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.
You're right, it is. One person created 7 posts worth of focus on himself in a thread entirely unrelated to what he posted, and dragged his best butt-buddy into it too. It really

Strangely, I agree with Umbrage.
This block of games was the least interesting so far, tbh. I've played the good games, and already own MNC on 360. I wish I would've bought Assassin's creed when it was on sale though. Never played any of those games and I've always wanted to.
