I can see where your coming from. It's really just a straight up action game though, there are hardly any rpg elements. I'm not sure really how to describe it, it's basically just shooting and melee.

I have to say I'm enjoying Space Marine so far. Interesting combination of melee and shooting.

Nice amount of semi-realistic violence as well.

Shame nothing is interactive, no environmental damage and you cannot shoot enemies once they die.

Seems like this one isn't a thinking mans game :-)

Picked up Gears of War 3. Went straight into multiplayer. Like it so far.

Actually as the game progresses and they start to throw harder enemies, different unit types you do have to think a little bit on how best to approach certain situations. Not much mind you, but some :-)

Right on! Let me know how the single player campaign is.

I have noticed this. I almost thought for a whole 20 seconds straight then I just mashed buttons and they all died :-)

So far I am liking the single player. Has a good story line.

They usually do, thanks Kneo. I'm curious to know how long the story is since this is the end of the trilogy.

After back-to-back 70+ hour weeks at work I finally got to play some games again yesterday :-)

I bought Fallout: NV's expansion packs during the July 4th steam sales. I started onto the Dead Money expansion....and I've got to say I'm not a fan. There's certain gameplay elements they added in this expansion that really just serve to frustrate the player and limit their mobility. I found myself just getting frustrated with it after a couple of hours :/. Worst part is - you can't exit out of the DLC until you've finished the entire thing. I am now locked into a part of the game that I'm not enjoying and am required to finish it. I just hope that once I advance to the next section they remove some of the absurd limitations (I think I explained my frustration without spoiling anything...)

I picked up Company of Heroes and the expansions for $10. I've got a couple of friends that play all the time - figured this was a good chance to try it out for cheap. At that price if I play it for 3 hours then I consider it a pretty decent deal :-)

I also picked up Civ5 when it was $16 not too long ago. That game EATS time. 4 hours went by in the blink of an eye.

Finally - Alpha Protocol. I've heard really good stuff about it and it is only $2 on steam until the 27th. Gotta make sure to pick it up tonight.

I'm getting increasingly excited for Battlefield 3 - any other PC players that are gonna pick it up?

I loved the Civ games early on but they just got so... micromanagey that I had to stop. I'd be cruising along thinking I was doing well, only to suddenly get wiped out. Every. Single. Time.

Thanks for the tip on Alpha. Just pulled that.

Finished a "Playthrough 2" borderlands run yesterday. By the time I was done I had just been "wanting it to be over" for hours. Wonderful game. But done is done.

Frozen Synapse Humble Bundle!

http://www.humblebundle.com/

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Humble Bundle - it is a set up where you choose how much to pay for a game. You can split up that money in a few different ways - Developers, the Humble Bundle team, or charities (in this case - Child's Play and Electronic Frontier Foundation).

In addition - if you pay above the average you get a bonus most times. In this case the bonuses are: Trine, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, Shadowgrounds, Jack Claw (cancelled game - you get what they had already created), and Splot (upon its release).

Go pick it up! You know you wanna :-)

I have been playing the HELL out of league of legends lately. Dominion (new game type) has breathed a new life into it. I can finish a game in 20 minutes and there is more to it than "don't die more than the other team"
