The entire game of Outlast seems to be the chase scene of CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth. So if you can deal with 2 hours of heart attacks, it looks awesome.

I thought that part was one of the single best sort of "scenes" in a game ever. Too bad the rest of the game was nowhere as good as those 3 minutes.

Sounds like the gaming industry really does parallel the movie industry.

Anyone playing Killer Is Dead? The press is predictably panning it, but that doesn't mean anything by itself.

I bought it but have been playing FFXIV exclusively so I haven't done anything aside from checking out the art book.

Otherwise the money would be going towards mostly smarter projects. Oh, and like 90% of the executives would would be ousted overnight.

Also apparently with the shine wearing off a lot of people are saying A Machine for Pigs isn't that great and it's kind of a step back.

Picked up Paranormal. It's pretty well done for an indie thing. I'll play Machine of Pigs this weekend.

From what I'd been hearing from the devs that seemed likely (they'd wanted to take the series in a "new direction," never a good sign), but I enjoyed the first Amnesia so much and bought it for so cheap I felt like giving them my money anyway.

Since I'm full of questions again, is anyone still playing Dragon's Dogma? I'm planning to get the expansion and restart on hard mode.

I keep wanting to get back to it but other games are overriding my console time. Also, I have this issue where I want to get the expansion, but I don't know if it's an expansion or the same game with some added shit.

I stopped a few hours into the expansion.
It felt unfair to me. Not like Dark Souls, where the game is hard but through practice I learned how to be better. DD expansion had more just randomness with the fights. And a lot more upkeep on potions to prevent sleep, stone, poison, etc. Death appears about 10 minutes into the expansion and one-hit kills any melee.
I found it to be not fun.

It's mostly an expansion, but they added a few things here and there, like more access to fast travel, which affects the base game. Nothing monumental. It really isn't worth replaying for the expansion stuff because it isn't fun. The base game is still great though, and I'll probably play it a second time pretty soon. I never got very far into the post-story area, and it looked neat.

Got Assassin's Creed 3 for free via Playstation Plus (which itself continues to impress the shit out of me). I have never really played this series other than a brief foray with the original. Seems kinda cool.
Still playing SWTOR. I have no idea how, but somehow, without paying, I now also have the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion. I did not buy it. I did not do anything at all, in fact. Suddenly I have this mail with a gift congratulating me on buying the expansion. I go into my ship and can see the holocomm has a quest symbol over it, so I activate it. Boom, I am transported to Makeb. I thought at first it might be some elaborate ploy, but I also looked up my account details, and sure enough it says I am subscribed to the expansion as well. How the hell does that happen? Is there some kind of Elder bonus I am not aware of? Gift horses, and whatnot, but I am curious nonetheless.

I decided to finish Dead Space 3 so I can delete it and install Tomb Raider. Not done quite yet, but man is this game stupid. Every plot ladder you climb, proverbial or literal, crumbles away from you and you have to take a detour. And it's always some shitty cave with monsters and nothing else. They could've cut half of the gameplay easily, and the game would be miles better.

I'm playing Dishonored. It's kind of alright I guess. I'm mostly playing it out of indecision and not quite wanting to start a new playthrough of Deus Ex.
I installed Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record, which I promptly uninstalled because GFWL.

Finished DS3, the ending was every bit as horrible as I was led to believe. As a bonus, there was a Halo-worthy back and forth running of hallways right before the end.

Just finished Saints Row 4. It's ridiculous, stupid, juvenile, and utterly fun. Multiple points within the game forced me to hit pause because I was laughing so hard (including two brought on entirely by background music).

I'm half way through Hotline Miami. I'd still not be able to tell you what fascinates me about the game except that I still find it to be . It's fiendishly addictive though. I've spent in excess of a hundred tries on certain parts without once getting frustrated or angry. With each try you only get even more determined to try again it's been the only game since quite some time where I had to physically pry myself away from it or risk going without any sleep at all. I only have two issues though 1. Some fights are not well crafted/too hard/too annoying. The boss fight vs. the Motorcycle helmet guy for example 2. Random weapons on each try sometimes lead to purposefully dying to get a better/more suitable weapon It's quite an experience though. Only thing I don't like is the trippy, fragmented, pseudo-serious 'story' that serves as a justification for the ultra-violent imagery. That's a 'but look it's a totally serious and grown up storytelling experience' fig leaf.

More Rogue Legacy, during which I was entertained. I was thinking that I was very awful at the game, but shortly after that I managed to accrue some treasure before dying horribly. Then proceeded to die horribly some more.

Beside current games, to scratch my nostalgic itch I'm playing Lands of Lore 1, which I shamefully missed back when it was released. Such a good, funny (and not so easy, especially at the beginning) game. Westwood

Oh, I forgot some things.
I was pressured into downloading the Diablo III demo on 360. It failed to impress anyone in the room. I played some more Battleblock Theater, past the Ch 6 trial and only as much Ch7 as I could do given the raging headache that was being fertilized by that nut-punch of a game. A pool of my own tears and pee-pee, indeed. Finally, something that I wish wasn't as much fun as it was: Mount Your Friends. Fortunately, I was playing a copy that someone else purchased and managed to avoid having anyone send messages about my progress to any of my XBL friends. Unlike the owner.

So, Tomb Raider. It's a game that shows the potential of a unique open world survival game, but ends up being just another action rollercoaster that everyone's seen a million times. I can't for the life of me understand what goes in the minds of developers and/or publishers.

Grabbed La Mulana, not sure if I love it or hate it. It's extremely obtuse. I don't know what the plot is, if there is any, you're just exploring some ruins with a whip and a fedora. The problem/fun bit is that you have basically no idea what to do at any given time. You explore the ruins, and they're pretty gigantic, and every time you hit what looks like a dead end, you're never sure if it's because you need to come back later after you've done something else or there's some obtuse puzzle in the room you need to solve or if there's just nothing else to do in that corner of the map. The game is plastered with cryptic clues and you're never sure which are relevant or where they're relevant or what they mean. In some ways I like the fact that it's not holding my hand, but I think I'm screwed if I can't figure out something soon, I'm not sure how much longer I can keep trial-and-erroring my way through this thing and a walkthrough seems like a waste.
