arkham asylum.

How about this then! Took me a while to get to it, but dammmmn I'm having a blast with it so far!

I didn't even know it was a free roaming game, and was very pleasantly surprised when I finished the intensive treatment "tutorial level" and it threw me onto Arkham Island.

I picked it up on a steam midweek madness sale for �3.75, but its definitely worth the full price entry fee if you missed that sale!

Coming from Darksiders (also excellent!) to this, I guess I have a thing for modern platformers that I never knew about :) Any other games in the vein as these two that I should check out? 

But I picked up GTA4 + the expansions in the sale last week.

Been playing The Lost and Damned stuff. I have to say that so far it is a lot more entertaining than the GTA4 plot. There just seems to be much more racing around shooting stuff, and the characters and plot are a lot darker. And there have been no stupid nonsense missions yet either. Even the first couple of missions have a lot of action in them. 

Daz AA rocks. AC should be plenty amazing - it's supposed to be 5x as big or thereabouts and you start off with the gadgets you got from AA. It's on my radar. 

Looks like it uses the Alice1 engine >:( 

Is murderer your steam account name or something else? 

GLADOS is taunting the player. I just got over excited is all, it wasn't aimed at you. 

 

Have you played Portal 1? I could imagine P2's story and maybe a few of the initial puzzle to be a bit confusing for those who don't know the background. 

And I went to bed this morning at aroun 3 or 4am, and it was the beginning of chapter 8, so no major problems here. I have to say that the game is exqusite. 

I played P1 but I never quite finished it..... I had it on the Orange Box on the 360, and I got so far into it then I got stuck. Then I stopped playing it and never finished it.

Im finding the sequel is more fun due to less confusion and also having a couple of 'freinds' to talk to...... 

Hmmmm...I was expecting more from that to be honest. With the exception of the Doom 3 tentacle guy (lol wut) - id have only really shown combat against piss-weak melee attackers that run suicidally at the player in a straight line, and usually die before getting within 20m of him.

It would be the equivalent of pimping Elder Scrolls V by only releasing videos of the player beating off slightly over-grown rats in sewers, and nothing else. 

Sounds messy. 

 

Sounds like something you'd do in daikatana 

Perfect 10? 

I still haven't finished it yet, classes have ben getting in the way. It's a lot longer than portal, even with just the single player campaign. Cave Johnson is my hero. 

I think so. I also haven't finished it yet tho.....

Great game - good ending. Loved it. Was a little short, either that or im very clever....... 

I'm suprised there's no portal 2 thread yet... 

I have nine hours played on steam. It's a puzzle game, not an rpg. You're not going to get 25 hours or more play time out of it. I need to play the coop campaign, anyone else want to? 

I got a little over 8 hours from the SP alone, still need to do coop and I'm anxious for the actual SDK to be released. 

Thats how long I've played it for. Finished the SP campaign. 

IMO
