I just thought the near future thing was a fair bit cooler than modern....warfare. 

Edited down a bunch of video I captured during the recent stress test for GW2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuliFPFfpMM

The video is pve gameplay using the Guardian class.

The game in short : Fucking amazing :) 

You can currently get Duke Nukem for free on your iPhone. Controls are pretty much impossible to use it seems though. Try switching to dual-stick mode if you want half a chance though. 

Duke Nukem 3D that is

I played a little bit of the original PS back in the day, this sequel looks like it going to blow everything out of the water, wow :) 

This time the thief http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7m2RZOej0 shooting, and stabbing. 

Torchlight 2 - Beta Update: Upcoming Weekend Stress Test
http://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2012/05/17/beta-update-upcoming-weekend-stress-test/

Path of Exile is doing regular open beta weekends apparently. I missed them all so far... :(

I'm in the Chinese city and while the sky above is very cool I seem to be wondering around a lot of small streets and box rooms, and my kill count is approx 1 pwnage per half hour of playing. Endless talking and getting lost otherwise.

Does the fun and excitement happen soon?? 

Deus Ex isn't an action game. 

I've managed to collect 7 different guns (with modifications) and 3 types of grenade because it isn't an action game. 

What leads you to believe that Deus Ex is an action game? The presence of guns? Guns are one path through the game but that's the not the point - you have other choices and options. Talking is part of it, sneaking another, hacking another.

If you're expecting thrill-a-second gun play, you made a poor decision. 

reinstalling Deus Ex to make a lethal playthrough. 

The main character in Taxi Driver carries three different guns. Clearly an action film. 

It's current on sale at greenmangaming.com for �3.99 and the key they send you can be used on Steam.

Really. I never knew that about Deus Ex. 

That's either sarcasm or an honest admission ... based on your posting history, I'll go with sarcasm and reply : Then quit bitching about it. :) 

Free russian "2D arcade platformer" to keep an eye on and play as soon as it has been translated: http://iichantra.ru/

But it's still in the action RPG genre right? 1 kill per half hour isn't action. 

Is an action a game.

It says so right here:

TBF it has guns and bad guys, and you can run and jump and shoot stuff. Sounds like an action game to me. Just saying.

I mean Crysis is an action game, but you can play through a lot of that using stealth and stealth alone.... 

I haven't played it yet either :D

So as per usual, I'm talking about shit which I know nothing about r. o. f. l. 

I think the defining thing about Deus Ex, the thing that makes it fantastic, is that it is whatever game you want it to be.

I'm playing dx:hr again at the moment and I decided to go through as a social/hacking/stealth master this time around, I just got to China without killing anyone and it's been just as fun as my first time through where I was some kind of blood crazed madman :) 

I am trying to be a blood crazed madman. Unless I start shooting police and civilians, there really isn't much option (earlier missions were better, at least there was an option there).

Also I have done turds with more personality than "Jensen". 

Right. This isn't the game for you.
