By the power of the old gods and the new that is damn expensive. I also guess with Valve starting to put in region locking for games on steam to stop people in cheaper economic area's and selling them to others via trade is going to kick Australia in the balls a bit.

Valve is actually doing that?!

Indie games are still reasonably priced, though, right?

As far as I can see yes, particularly local ones, which I guess is a point

Yeh they are. It's to try and stop people making a profit by selling games view steam trades to people in countries where the game is more expensive. Though at the same time they have adding some new sharing functions. Like me and a friend from home have set our steam accounts so we can play each others games from our own profile.

On a brighter note just finished South Park Stick of Truth. Fair play one of the funniest games I have ever played, I was laughing all the way through. It's up there with Portal 2 with being a game which actually successfully pulled of humor.

Also anyone here had a go of Project Spark? Just after everyone raving about it I had a go and was rather disappointed. It is a beta so i will forgive it for the creation tools feeling a bit clumsy and a lack of a few handy ones. But I was hoping to have some fun creating some landscapes and stuff but then I discovered 90% of the materials/props you have to pay for. Add in how you level up your profile by making stuff makes it feel as just a game about making games. Rather than easy way into learning how to game design like I was hoping

Just ordered Lightning Returns and the FFX/X-2 HD remake. So, um, yeah. I'll get back to you on the results of my masochism.

Just beat de Blob 2. It's a decent sequel, but it takes a step back in that there's no free play mode

Also finally posted my Persona 4 review this morning. Excellent game. Just learned about the "True Ending" last night while poking around GameFAQs, so I may go back to it and unlock that.

Just downloaded Banished, which looks like a medieval / fantasy-themed SimCity-like game. It's been fun, although a little buggy. It's an indie game, which gets a big plus from me.

I thought about buying the latest SimCity and wondered why I never got it, but then I remembered it was by EA. Pass!

Well, just got through Lightning Returns. And I'm probably a little biased as it ends on a cliche that is one of my pet hates, but good lord the story over the three game arc is such a horrible disjointed mess. And they managed to make the combat system even more technical and opaque. It's not, technically, a terrible game, but story and characters are so cliche and lackluster and I could go on forever about how bad the writing is (seriously, I think 80% of the lines are a) entirely characterless exposition or b) characters repeating things that they've been told to other characters).

[Madhouse]

Added FFXIII to my list of games I'll never buy.

[Ex-SOLDIER]

Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Final Fantasy X HD, and Dragon's Crown are my current conquests.

FFX is a lot harder to get through than I thought, simply because its so slow to get going.
