I've already got a copy of Torchlight 2 preordered, and my regular co-op buddy needs some serious computer upgrades before we play Borderlands 2, so I'm probably just going to end up getting that on Steam for $10 six months from now.

Thing is, the weakest thing about those "games" is their "game"play, from what I hear and from my Bioshock 1 impressions, which means the gameplay surely did not age well, so why would anyone buy Bioshock games in 2012?

Also I hate to sound like a hater but Spec Ops is a movie that isn't worth more than five bucks.

The first Bioshock still holds up tremendously well. It's not the best shooter out there, but it certainly gets the job done, and it hasn't really aged that much. It still feels relatively modern.

Bioshock 2 was a terrible game when it released, and is still a terrible game (Before anyone asks, a boring, unnecessary story, and the most uninspired and dull level design I've seen in quite a while, with only a few redeeming moments like the theme park ride, and the little sister bit) so no one should buy that. Even with that, the problems aren't from a gameplay perspective, and the actual shooting and plasmids controlled super well, much better than the first.

Yeah, they're story games, but in Bioshock 1's case, excellent story games. If they were still $60 a pop, it'd be a tough sell, but at $5 each it's an impressive bargain.

Also: You do sound like a "hater". And I don't even like to use that word. In fact, I feel kind of dirty now.

I just bought it on a whim after watching the quick look as well. About to open it up.

The only other podcasts I currently keep up on are This is Only a Test (and that I'm several weeks behind on), and Casually Hardcore from VtW Productions. I've been listening to that one for years, probably not for everyone, but it entertains me at least.

Since I don't really have any interest in Arma II but would like to try DayZ eventually, this is good news in my mind.

They should just do a sequel to the 2008 one, other than a terrible ending, and some poor combat, it was an awesome game. Great art, good platforming.

Darn it! I guess I'll call my lawyer and cancel my lawsuit.

What would anybody possibly sue a game company for anyway? Just don't buy a game if it doesn't meet whatever made up legal stuff you think it should.

Remember the PSN outage, where people lost access to a service they were promised when they bought the PS3? Things like that.

Not saying that they'd be justified, just that it's an example of a possible lawsuit.

As SWTOR requires Origin to play it, I'd like to offer my big fat middle finger to any EA subscription or Free to play model.

If you get a retail copy, you can run it without ever opening Origin. That's what I do, it runs better. ("Better" being a relative term, as the game still runs like crap for everyone I know.)

Hey, I'll actually start playing again. Neat.

I've played Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, and 2. I would buy 3 in a heartbeat, but all these spinoffs are driving me off.

The PSP game, erm, being a PSP game doesn't help. I'd be super psyched for 3, but until that's announced, I'm fine.
