After finishing Sleeping Dogs and loving the experience of laughing along with a game again, I decided to replay Anachronox. Had to repurchase it from Gog as it turns out I've lost my original discs. But the repurchased version has all the unofficial patches too, so it's no bad thing and it was less than £4.

It's 10 years old, so the graphics are very ropey, but the humour and writing more than makes up for it. It's one of the few games to ever genuinely make me chuckle.

Why don't more games go for humour instead of trying to be serious/epic? I love games that make me laugh.

I'm digging it. If you like Aria you'll like it. Not as good as Leviathan, though.

Fantastic franchise, but those puns are just so painful.

Picked up The Witcher 2 on the last day of Steams Thanksgiving sale. It creaks a little, as my pc is just a few tics above the minimum requirements, but I'm enjoying it so far, now that I'm finally gettign the hang of the controls. I'm about an hour in, having only just escaped the castle dungeons.

Up Your Arsenal is still my favourite (game and pun).

Well, I recently rented Saints Row 3.

The bright spot for me was the music. And that's about it.

My main gripes:
1. In the Matrix trilogy, Neo would fight one, then a larger group, then a whole army of Agent Smiths. That's what I felt was happening in this game.
2. The graphics weren't great. There were clipping issues. The characters, for me, weren't attractive.
3. I didn't understand what the map was telling me. I started in one area, and over time that area became more purple. Did that mean I was claiming land, or was I losing land?

I didn't get pass the first two missions, before deciding this game wasn't for me. This game, and the game I rented before, Call of Duty: Black Ops II left me feeling meh. I am hoping that the next game is more enjoyable.

Based soley on Wil Wheaton's review I picked up Minecraft. Now I'm addicted.

Welcome aboard sir! Do track down the Minecraft thread floating around here somewhere. And if by chance you get the pc version, perhaps join us on our server?

I do indeed have the PC version. I'll look up that thread shortly.
