So exactly how good is this game ? I have it, but haven't installed it yet though. Good ? Bad ? Ugly ?

I do have 2 360 controllers to use as well with the game.

I enjoyed it. It's a different kind of Lara Croft. For the most part the battles are not too difficult on Normal, though I did struggle with one of the bosses. Puzzles are decent, but not too mind bending. Some of the level achievements are difficult and won't be able to be done the first time, so it forces you to play again. If this game was $40 it would be way too short, but at $5 it's a steal. Plus, there was some free DLC that just came out.

I used KB and Mouse, but a controller is probably better.

I have been playing

COD:BO (13h past two weeks) (finally getting some scrims in)
DA:O (8h past two weeks) (total of 73h played - still have not finished the game)
Mafia II (4h past two weeks) (just got it - very enjoyable so far love the style)
Greed Corp (2h past two weeks) (great hardcore puzzle game)

and LOL (esimate 10-12h past two weeks)

although every time I play LOL or Greed I feel a little wasteful for having 2 570 GTXs.

Heh, I think you should feel wasteful playing anything short of Crysis.

If you might be getting bored of SC2 and haven't already, try out League of Legends. Not the same game, but I was addicted to SC2...tried League of Legends and haven't played SC2 since...


I hated League of legends. It was boring itself.

Fallout:New Vegas Only! I have burned my mind with it !!:biggrin:

I've tried playing this, but after about an hour or so into it the game keeps crashing randomly. Sometimes after 1 minute, sometimes after 10 minutes. It runs fine, was perfect when I was playing for that first hour. Now that I'm ready to leave the first town and go to Primm it's not working. Really disappointing.

I have started playing New Vegas two days ago,no crashes so far and I hope I don't get any.
I'm still in the first town but doing all possible quests before moving on.

I don't understand how it can be boring, myself, but to each their own.

Also, an update. I found this "game" called "The Path". It is quite odd, it is in the vein of the story of little red riding hood, but there are 5-6 characters you can choose as her, each with their own personality, and the object is to get to grandmas house, except...you aren't actually supposed to stay on the path to grandmas house...it is quite...odd and a bit twisted.
