Well, I'm in for the basic $20 level, so I'll get my game.

I'm trying to see if I can squeeze any more cash out of my budget to get the $40 or $50 levels. If I win the lottery, I'm so going in for $1000!

Isn't that the game that at the moment is just a concept and the trailer is completely pre rendered?

Sleeping Dogs is still really fun, the story really is fantastic considering on the surface it's quite a standard one. The driving as well is SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER THAN GTA. If GTA5 has the same arcadey driving, it'll be brilliant for it.

Indeed, it is.

Given it's pedigree though...

Never mind that, there's a Kickstarter for a new Broken Sword game. I'm seriously tempted to back it for a hundred bux.

Gaming credentials are nothing to trust.

I mean fuck, people get it wrong from sequel to sequel, let alone creating a whole new game.

Not saying it's definitely going to be awful, it's just people seem very hyped for a game that technically doesn't exist yet.

Completed sleeping dogs last night, the story and the characters are what really makes it great. I've got some side missions to complete still but im focusing on darksiders 2 now

[PoonLagoonGuy23]

Anyone getting guild wars 2? Gonna be the first time I'm actually gonna invest time into an mmo.

[Ensorcelled]

Playing it now. I'm a Sylvari tree thing. Awh yeee!

I think my main problem with WoW aside from hating playing games with others, is the whole monthly charge thing. If someone has played it for years, which most players have, that's like, hundreds of pounds for a game. Plus if you stop playing surely you'd have no use for all the stuff you'd done?

I'm not surprised that a fair few games that have come out with a similar idea since have failed to attain the same success.

Ok so, reading this, I got curious. I went through my payment history on Battle.net, and worked out that with expansions, game time, and other services such as buying mounts and character transfers, I've spent roughly 1337 euro on WoW. And yes, that is actually the sum I got. "Leet" coincidence.
