Is Metro for $5 a good buy?

I have a decent machine (I7-950 and GTX 580) so hopefully it will run.

it's a great game for $5. unfortunately i got stuck in this level about mid-way through so i dropped it. the game gets biased. all the 1000 enemies can see you in the dark, but somehow you cant. the weapons are frustrating, although more "real" than other games

your machine wont have a problem running it, save for a few of the DX11 features.

Just one thing to beware of on the crysis pack, the x64 versions are not included in the steam release, I believe you can import them though from what I have read, but I bought the Crysis Maximum Edition on disc a while back for ?5 :)

"The communities choice" must be rigged.

It says the community voted for Simcity 4 deluxe, (9 year old game) Over anno 2070 which is a brand new game, and much better.

EA and both Steam always seem to have Simcity 4 on sale.

Simcity 4 doesnt even work right on windows 7 unless you enjoy the constant crashing to desktop.

AAHH!!!

So just because the newest thing on the list didn't win means that it is rigged?

SimCity is a hugely popular franchise, Anno 2070 on the other hand is not so well known.

Anno 2070 doesn't look as interesting to me as the earlier games in the series. On the other hand I've played SimCity 4 but never owned it... so I would go for that deal. But don't see that much of a point, since SimCity 5 is in development.

I hope there are better deals for Skyrim before the end of the sale.

Hope you enjoy it. COP is the best i think. Can't wait til the next game is released :D

you might check out the "complete" mods for SOC and COP

They add alot to the games. The older games get Hd textures which look alot better, and a nice new atmosphere which makes the game much better, but the games are still awesome without it.

Yeah went ahead and installed STALKER complete right off the bat. With this and Metro 2033 should be good for a bit in the fps horror genre :)

I've got a few games in the Steam sale. Not as many as i could have got. I held back on a few because i already finished them on console (Saints Row 3).

Fable III Collection

Shoot Many Robots

Serious Sam 3 BFE

Darkness II (ROW)

Alan Wake American Nightmare

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Pack

Tribes: Ascend - Steam Starter Pack

Max Payne 3

Also in the Origin sale i picked up

Fifa 12

NFS The Run.

Still with all those games, i still found myself sinking all my spare time into the La-Mulana remake that was released also! :laugh:

Gotta love a classic Metroidvania game.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
