Game sales

Besides some repetitive side quests later in the game and getting past the Citadel (it's like an hour of back and forth running), Mass Effect is one of the best western RPG experiences I've ever played. Combat is cool (cover system is a little wonky xD), interesting characters and places, and the story was very very cool IMO. Your save file and choices will carry over to the sequel too. :)

Oh, and Wrex rocks my socks. :)

Ah, I'd like to get that IF it comes out.

I've only played MW3.
 
Mechwarrior 2 is the best... too bad I haven't figured out how to get it working in widows 7 yet. I do have a copy of windows 95 (though I would have to burn it to a new disc) somewhere.

Some old games don't work on Windows 7.

I guess Mechwarrior 2 is another.

Starcraft doesn't work either, unless you mod it.

Here's a list of the old games that are compatible (and not) with Windows 7:

Running XP through virtual machine will probably work wonders for playing really old and incompatible games...
Oh and SC can be played just fine on Win7 if you make a batch file that shuts off explorer before you start.
 
Army of Two: 40th day is on sale (I think today only) for $40 @ Amazon, both PS3 and 360.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000208101

$40 is pretty good for a two-week old game. I've enjoyed what I've played of it, and am looking forward to playing extraction once that gets unlocked. Bear in mind this is a mature-rated game for blood & gore/violence/language.
 
Psychonauts is $2 on Steam through Thursday.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
