GET DISHONORED FROM GREEN MAN GAMING! It's much cheaper and you can apply a 25% off coupon for a further discount. I got it for 22.50. It comes with a Steam key as well, so you can just activate it on Steam and play it there.

It's also a really good game. Deus Ex meets Bio Shock set in the 19th Century. With steampunk!

I should hope that every man, woman and child on TV Tropes owns a copy of Deus Ex Human Revolution by now. If not, for shame.

Contemplating getting Quantum Conundrum (still hours to think about it). Anybody to weigh in?

Maybe it's just me, but Dishonored on Green Man Gaming doesn't seem to be able to be bought for some reason. Perhaps the deal was unintended and they shut it down?

For what it's worth, ClockworkUniverse (a former troper) at IJBM says that Quantum Conundrum is crap.

However, I have not played it, so I can't say anything about it.

Lone Survivor caught my attention a while ago. Now I own it. Thanks Steam!

I'm going to wait for the Christmas sale for Dishonored, I think Steam can do better than 50% off.

[up][up][up][up] I for one bought Quantum Conundrum at 75% off a previous sale and liked it. It may not be quite as good as Portal, but it's at least worth the $5 for the season pass.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about Sonic Generations. Should I snatch it up or not?

I liked the console version. Its plenty of fun for a platformer. (INB 4 being called a sawnic fan)

We're talking about the PC version, right? I've heard it's got some porting issues; are the rumors overblown?

[up] I've tried the demo for that (pretty damn quick for one, but nonetheless I don't have an issue with it and it's still on my wishlist). From what I heard, it doesn't control well at all with keyboard, but you can get by just fine with a controller (though I guess the Xbox 360 controller is preferred because of the hotkey icons).

If you're going to use a controller, use a Microsoft one (i.e. one that is from or is modeled after the Xbox 360 controller). In addition, the emulated version of the first game was removed from the PC port for whatever reason.

I bought an X-Box 360 controller when I bought Sonic Generations for the PC ages ago. Keyboarding Sonic doesn't feel right.

[up] Pretty much on several games using a third person perspective, often platformers, controllers are a more preferable way to go for me anyways.

[up]For sure! There's definitely some games that I much prefer to use a controller for (side-scrollers that don't involve shooting, the aforementioned platformers), as the keyboard just doesn't feel right.

From GMG's twitter;

Hi all, we've temporarily run out of Dishonored keys due to immense popularity of our deal. We're working to get more but no ETA. -Love GMG

Hopefully the deal will go back up soon and people can still grab it. I was lucky enough to get my copy before it vanished from the site.

Has anyone here played the games listed in the Meridian4 Collection? It is $20 for 29 games + 4 DLC, I've been interested in a couple of the individual games for a while, and some of the ones I hadn't thought about getting before look reasonable.

I have several, but haven't touched most of them for very long... mainly because they weren't very fun experiences/were too buggy.

But I haven't gotten around to most of the other ones I have.

That said, I have less than half of the list. The rest of them may be good.

Quantum Conundrum is definitely good for its price. Avoid it if you don't like first-person platforming, though, since there's a fair amount of it.
