Oh cool, thanks for the information. :)
I will keep a look out for that then.
Be part of the answer, not part of the problem.

Fallout

Bleeping death claws. Bleeping. Death. Claws. Six critical head/eye shots with an assault shotty only to get mauled with a 67 HP critical. I have 73 hit points and had already taken a pretty severe beating by that time.

DYAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Have to kill one for a quest. I'm...so close to going and buying a rocket launcher. I have no heavy weapon skills, but man it'd feel so good to 'splode it. The 1000 Experience (which is...a boatload for this game) doesn't hurt either, nor does the idea of the promised weaponry if I succeed. I'm thinking I could just trade in my plasma rifle and laser pistol and actually have a net gain money wise, and cut down on about 70 pounds of stuff.

Having trouble seeing a downside.

Braid.

Suffice it to say, I played this way too late at night, and it really started hurting my brain. <3

Not to mention the story is creepily similar to what my brain has been processing recently.

I played the game in the daytime and it hurt my brain. @_@ It's really good though.

Yes. The event system is so nice, and I'm liking how they're progressing your story.
The skill system is pretty different, but I'm liking it.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

Got this one when it came out on Steam (And on day one when it came out physically in 2005.) I've loved this game so much, and I still do. Plus, TSLRCM and a few mods/patches make this an even better game. Still not as complete as KOTOR, but I still enjoy it way more. Better mechanics, darker and more intricate story, and an awesome dose of RPG goodness make this my favorite Star Wars game of this past decade.

Why do I think the story is better? It requires more thought: each action may affect some other facet of the story. The characters are influenced by your actions, and you can drag them to your side ore push them away as you see fit. While the end of the game is more unfinished than the rest, there are some pretty good mods that restore cut content that do a fantastic job of making more sense of it. That, and each character has a dark and colorful history. Spoilers for examples:
Spoiler:
Bao Dur is one who followed you into the worst battle imaginable and yet still respects you as his general. Atton is a former Sith assassin who desperately wants to keep that a secret from you since he values his opinion of you. Kreia is a character with so many facets it's hard to talk about them all. Straddling the line between light and dark right to the end, she acts as a foil to nearly every action you take. Visas is a former servant of a Sith lord, and sometimes her opinions can reflect this. Mandalore is Canderous Ordo from KOTOR 1, and he's just as awesome as he was there.


So yeah. I adore this game. I feel like it might have been the Empire Strikes Back of the KOTOR series had it not been rushed and plagued with bugs at launch.
