Aye, picked up Grimrock the other day, haven't played it yet but it looks pretty awesome and all the old-school gamers seem to be loving it.

Will give it a shot once these essays are done. . . .

Skullgirls came out on Tuesday. Close the topic; there are no other games.

Console only. Hand drawn team based fighting game. It's something all right.

Crap, I knew I was missing something...well, that'll take the weird taste of Street Fighter X Tekken out of my mouth. Just as soon as I can afford it :<

I, too, am loving it.

But unfortunately, Theme Hospital was just released on gog.com, so they're fighting for my attention.

Finished Grimrock, and after thinking about it for a while I don't think I have much to add.

It's an overall solid game, and most of my problems with it are either nitpicks or a disagreement regarding certain design decisions. Aside from a few specific puzzles, I think my most valid complaint is that the lack of visual variety of the dungeons along with the inability of the (token) plot to provide meaning or escalate the events causes me to feel it is essentially pointless to push through the game. i.e. you lose nothing by quitting halfway through.

Like I said, it's a good game, and certainly one worth experiencing, however I feel like it would benefit greatly by either consisting of several shorter dungeons or simply by having more variation in the tilesets.

3 things:

Fez is now available - for anyone with an Xbox that is :P http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/896026-fez-review-multi-dimensional-gaming

Also, Wargame: European Escalation is at a 40% discount until 16th. Extra free content was released yesterday, so I'm off to play my 429th multiplayer game since release :shock: Feb 23rd.

Another thing, Dark Souls will be released on PC on Aug 24th. Fingers crossed you won't need WOPR to run it without slowdown :lol: .

Dyson made it to the PS3 as a PSN downloadable. They named it "Eufloria". I remember playing the PC beta years ago, was surprised to see it in the PSN store. I'm enjoying it a lot.

I do believe Dyson was first created in 2009 for the PC. Thought it making it to PSN was on topic.

fair enough, enjoyed RUSE quite a bit, got quite good at it too, but that's because I'm slow and the game was slow. so what I'm wondering do you need crazy APM skill to become good at wargame? How fast is it compared to Ruse, if you know that game..?
