I've played console games all my life. I dun giv a phuq. Also i'm too lazy to download ISO mount programs and then deal with errors because crappy files be crappy.

Win8 has built-in iso mount functionality.

About spore, every game is divided in 5 phases and this is key to any decent review of the game. The first one is basically a flash game, but very nicely done. The second one is kind of the coolest part in which you get to change your creature with almost complete freedom. Think penis. But the actual gameplay is weak. The third and fourth phases are respectively RTS and grand strategy and they both suck very hard. The last phase is space exploration. It's actually the best part gameplay-wise and you can get quite a lot of playtime out of it. Overall it's a pleasant yet profoundly broken videogame. I spent more time designing weird creatures than actually playing this (again, penis). I don't think it's worth 10 bucks, but not that much lower either.

I think this has stopped having any significant effect at least a year ago.

Yeah, I was the last one who joined last year and still is shit :D
For all the non-believers, look no further than this thread for proof that while strat battles are won/lost in NA3/EU3, strat wars are won and lost on the forums.

Yeah from what I can gather the space aspect is the best part.

Thanks. I'll pass on this game then.

Here's what I got so far and short reviews:

X-COM: Enemy Unknown - Really fun, I like the way they simplified it. I've restarted a few times to better design/optimize my base and squad but don't mind.

Far Cry 3 - Kind of a letdown, you have to sign up for something called U-Play to launch the game and some server was down so I couldn't get into the game when trying to create an account through Steam. There's a bit too much dog skinning so far for my taste and the story/setting isn't that interesting. Also super dumb AI on normal setting. Far Cry 2 had good atmosphere but I still like the first one best as far as crazy story/action.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - Awesome, funny dialogue, 8-bit cutscenes and tutorial. A bit too easy though, same dumb AI as FC3 but das ok here because the story and all the little details they put in are great.

The Witcher - haven't installed

The Witcher 2 - haven't installed, probably won't have enough time to play either of these games but was only a few bucks so had to get.

Even the SP is demanding and good fun. Worth every penny. Very good game.

As someone who can't seem to enjoy any games apart from cRPG and super deep strategic shit I gotta recommend the Witcher 2. Barely expected any triple A title to entertain me anymore, but I had a blast with that one.
