Just recently played it for the first time, and running up behind two combine soldiers and blowing out their craniums before exploding their corpses with your foot in glorious slo-mo gets a definite thumbs up in my book.
Just got stuck at a bit on Highway 17 with an absurdly powerful alien-copter thing though.
I was hooked here after following a link from another Gawker site and recieved the most helpful advice possible from the commenters about my issue. It's a theme constantly, almost uniquely, reiterated on Lifehacker like no other place in the blogosphere.
You've racked up some nice trophy cabinet fillers there, but to round off the collection, without further ado, I award you the...
'Random Internet Guy's ''Most Useful Blog in the Universe'' Award™'
Don't spend your internet cred all at once. :)
I haven't played this, but it looks pretty neato. Legend was a blast.
Go go Nifflas!
The graphics may be a bit of a nostaglia killer if you're coming back to '64 games for the first time but it reminds you how good games like Super Mario 64 were despite the limitations. A big thumbs up for the emulator for me.
Jupiterthunder's advice should also be heeded- pick your ROM sites carefully.
Owen's clearly still posting, and the article went up about 3 hours ago, yet no correction to the incorrect details about the UK prices has been given which does make me wonder slightly.
2$ would = £4
4$ would = £8
So you've still got it the wrong way round.
You mean 1 dollar to every 0.5 pound.
Firstly, Denmark doesn't charge VAT on digitally distributed items, yet are still affected by the price hike.
Secondly, we always paid VAT before. The prices were always displayed in dollars, but VAT was still added at checkout. This effectively makes your point moot.
Thridly, you call out people on being ignorant complainers, yet seem oblivious to the people explicitly stating that Steam prices are considerably more expensive than store prices. This is no discount.
Finally, if you still need proof that the 1:1 Euro to Dollar conversion has absolutely nothing to do with VAT, then consider that it's the same Europe wide. VAT percentage however is not. As a quick trip to [en.wikipedia.org] would show you, the Canary Islands have 5% while the Swedish pay 25%. Yet they both suffer the same price rise.
Also, as many have stated, the article is wrong about the UK prices. They are fine. Only Euro prices are fucked.
As long as Steam supports it, you should be able to activate your retail copy in Steam with a serial code, then be able to download it as many times as you want and all that jazz.
Can't guarantee it works like that for all games, but Valve ones definitely work.
Other than that, unless it's cheaper, SegevRaz says it all.
Give me some crumbly Glouster or a creamy Lancashire any day over that tat.
The French also do excellent cheese; not so fond of the of the Dutch or German though.
...and the two 'Stories'...and their PS2 ports...and GTA:School (aka Bully).
They keep on pumping them.
I'll stick to my English cheese.
