So I played the Torchlight demo earlier and I was not impressed. It was like playing an unfunny DeathSpank. $10? Maybe. $15? Nope.

I guess I forgot about price. I got it on Steam when it was less than $5, which is a steal for the value.

Honestly, I think it sounds awesome. Tower defense AND mech battles in one game WITH co-op? YES PLEASE!

Same. I was touting it to my friend about how great it is back when they announced it. Then it came out for 15 bucks and he also realized that there was no multiplayer. Hard to justify it when I got it on Steam for like 2 bucks.

I just read the G4 review for BG&E HD and I'm disappointed. It got a 4/5 but they mention the inverted controls are fucked up, which is how it was in the original apparently. It makes no sense. I invert my Y axis. If you do it in the game the X axis gets inverted as well. It's either all or nothing. So fucking dumb.

There have been other games that have done this as well. It seemed a lot of the older PS2 platformers like R&C, Jak and Sly. So annoying.

Beyond Good and Evil - what a shitty looking and playing game.

Torchlight - Will buy it if it ever has 50% off deal on it.

Battle LA - Shitty but would buy it for $5

Can someone link a review of the Dead Space 2 DLC?

If it's even possible I'm somehow even less interested now. I do not like either tower defense or mech game genres.

I can't imagine that game for XBLA. I loved it for PC, a great Diablo clone that you can click away the hours in

When was the last time there was actually a solid mech game out there? Every year I want to like a game like Armored Core and every year I'm disappointed.

Got this sale from CAG. Few deals here, so far I bought Alien Breed 2 because the 1st game was kick-ass, but I am considering more.

Fuck yeah! Definitely getting AB2 and I might get Mini-Golf and After Burner.

Edit: Yup, just bought AB2 and AB:C. I'm going to try the Mini-golf trial before buying but I'm sure it will be worth $5.
