Those who have not, GET GUNPOINT. This game is addicting, fun, and flat out hilarious.

I'm waiting for the Steam summer sale to get it. $10 for 3 hours doesn't really fly on PC. Really liked the demo and having watched the Giantbomb video I liked that I was able to go about it in an entirely different way. Reminded me of Hitman...not the new one,the old ones...in the sense that it's a moving puzzle to solve.

Fun story here: http://kotaku.com/forcibly-ported-in...tors-511570344

A Russian dood ported Samurai Dishwasher: Vampire Smile to the PC himself because there was no PC version...so now they're actually making a PC version.

For those that miss sales or want cheap games. Go to the steam forums and do trading. Even if you have nothing in your inventory you can trade for stuff by offering steam wallet which means you buy a game for them and trade it for your game. I got hotline Miami a while back for $2.50 steam wallet. I ended up with LA noire complete for $5

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

This is good advice. I traded for a copy of Morrowind for a Dota 2 chest key (the key was $4 I think).

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I would normally wait until a sale to buy something like Gunpoint, but the fact it was created by 1 guy leaves me no issues with paying full price to support him.

I usually always wait for sales on the bigger games, but these 1 or 2 man indie games I feel like paying the full price to support the developer is the right thing to do.

I haven't been purchasing as many games lately but PCGamers review of Rising Storm has been itching to try it.

Never did get into RO2 but this sounds awesome.

AMD says PC ports of Next Gen games likely to suffer on Intel tech.

Intel are heralding their new Haswell processor architecture as a game-changer for gaming ultrabooks and small form factor gaming machines. Their competitors AMD predictably have serious doubts about Intel’s ability to compete when it comes to PC gaming.

I spoke with Intel’s Richard Huddy a few months back about the graphical technology behind their push for Haswell in the gaming market and he was very excited about the progress they were making for PC gamers, but I also put some questions to AMD’s Nicholas Thiebierroz, Senior Manager of its Gaming Engineering division. I’m sure it’s no coincidence I’ve only just heard back as Haswell is launched. Here’s what he said about Intel’s latest foray into the world of gaming hardware and what the next generation of consoles, which run on AMD architecture, will mean for PC gamers.

^ Intel always blows AMD away with processors. Don't believe a bit of that. If true, Intel will find a way to adapt.
