They seem to be running deals so hoping they each get a quick flash sale. Been impressed by AC:R for ?10 and a few others just trying to grab as much for under the ?5-7 mark and a few ?1-3 games.

I grabbed Payday:The Heist, it's probably the most fun I've had gaming since GTA3+Vice City.

This year I've bought Max Payne 3, Ghost Recon FS, LA Noire, Skyrim, Black Ops, and this has topped them all for the first few hours of play.

It plays like Left 4 Dead, and Sven CoOp. So far I'm really, really having fun with it. The frustration and excitement of being rushed down, and killed, by waves of SWAT teams is a nice balance, making me want to try again without being too much of an ask.

It's not anything fundamentally new, but it's just pure fun. No story lines, no cut scenes, no annoying flashbacks, no cover system, no maps... it's great for ?4!!!

Does anyone still play Brink? I know it was pretty crappy when it first came out, but have updates been released for it? Is it any better now?

The only time it has any amount of players is during sales. I think they are just pushing ahead with Brink 2.

I brought a copy back in March and it *Still* crashed to desktop every time I tried to play a game. Unfortunately I couldn't return it to the store as I had used the key but thankfully I only paid ?2.50

Im getting the same "not available in your region" for the last one, anyone from america want to tell us what it is, seeing as it will be odds on that its a us only game.

[edit]

used a proxy, its the Indi Bundle 4, which includes valley without wind, atom zombie smasher, blocks that matter, sanctum and superbrothers sword and sorcery, all of which appear to be available to the rest of the world anyway!!! at least they are available to UK/EU

[/edit]

Too many repeat deals! The Community and Flash Sales are adding a repetitive nature to the sale this year.

I know I can't really complain, but I just thought I'd mention it.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
