Soulstorm somehow managed to add to Dark Crusade but also be a worse game. I quite liked 2, the move away from traditional RTS was a bit jarring but I liked the more tactical combat. 3 I have been advised to never play.

I'm sure they used to kick off at FUMBBL as well, who as far as I can tell really only try and make enough money to keep the game/site going.Originally Posted by Disco

Pricing error. Just in case they don't cancel.
Master Chief Collection is £14.99 on Steam for the weekend.
Prey is the current freebie on epic, definitely worth a go for frees.
Parted with £12 to get Quake, Quake 2, Quake 4, Doom 3 and Doom 64 from the Steam sale. Not going with BFG edition to keep my Doom 3 AS CARMACK INTENDED.
Control free on the Epic Store today only.
Amazon already gave it to everyone a month ago.

Not everybody will have claimed it, or have the means of doing so, and it's worth having anything you might be interested in on multiple storefronts anyway in case for some reason it disappears from one.
They may have grabbed it on PS Plus.
Tomb Raider trilogy is free on the Epic Store.
Claimed 'em though I never actually finished the first one.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun currently free on Epic.
If you like Commandos / Desperados style tacticsy things then this is one of the best.
Are there any bonafide bargains in the latest steam sale?
Just looking now. C&C Collection for a fiver might get bought. Mainly because my disc version of Red Alert 2 needs tinkering to work on Windows 10. Plenty of cheap boomer shooters, too. All the Thief games for £4.28.

Hades is an all-timer of a game for £12 and would probably work well on the Steam deck (think it was you who got one?) Divinity Original Sin 2 is incredibly for that price too.
And did you ever finish XCOM WOTC and have you played Chimera Squad? The latter was sort of divisive but I liked a bunch of the things it tried and it's under a fiver.
Those are a few at a glance scrolling down the main page.
I've bought Tinyfolks because it looked fun when Many A True Nerd played and it was £1.50 and I'm eyeballing Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice, Warhammer: Mechanicus, Okami, Eliza and Wildermyth. Won't get all of those for fear of the Gamepass jinx but I may get a couple.

I did finish WOTC and enjoyed it. I have got a Chimera Squad save going on though yeah I am not quite as taken with it as the usual entries.
I picked up Divinity Original Sin 2, and yes I got the deck. Loving it so far.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is an incredible game. If you can find somebody to co op it with you even better, but it's great as a solo effort too.
Chimera Squad is an odd one. I wouldn't put it above any of Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within or any XCOM2 stuff but it does some stuff I'd really like the next mainline game to do, whenever we get it. Once they're done with Midnight Suns, I guess.
I would love to get into X-Com but I panic as soon as it inevitably goes sideways. I know the odds are supposed to be stacked against you but I struggle to appreciate even the littlest of victories.
Have you tried any other turn based tacticsy things? There are plenty which aren't so much about appreciating the bad missions for "narrative" purposes.
Gears Tactics, for example, is largely about endlessly charging forward with a big chainsaw.
I had one to review. Warrhammer 40k: Nercromunda Underhive Wars or something. Ran the same principles but had all the pacing of a snail with no purpose. And X-Com which I played for about 8 hours before it all got too much. I could probably come back at it with a bit more knowledge. It's been years since I last gave it a shot.
With XCOM it helps to know what the best research order is as your odds increase massively once your weapons and armour are upgraded.
Death Stranding free on the Epic Store for 24 hours.
My PC might struggle to run it but I've grabbed it.
The standalone followup, Aiki's choice, is now also free.Rewarded for resisting it during recent Steam sales.
It's been a good couple of days for that. Kerbal Space Program for nowt and the PS+ this month had Jedi Dark Souls. And Axiom Verge 2.
If anyone is going to a Tesco today, it's worth checking the Switches in store. Fair few reports at them showing at half price to clear some stock off the shelves.
They've also a few games down to half price too. Animal Crossing being one of them.
This seems like a decent Humble Bundle for £12.

Star Wars Squadrons is good fun and currently £1.74 on Steam.
I imagine you have all likely played it but if not, Titanfall 2 is £3.74 right now and one of the best FPS campaigns I've ever played, you don't need to have played the first.
The Titanfall 2 campaign is indeed a belter.
Mass Effect: Legendary edition is on sale on steam for £3.99. I believe that's the remastered series too.
The Epic Christmas 'give shit away' starts on the 19th, too. I have something like 80 games on my account and not paid a dime for any of them.
I picked up Euro Truck Simulator 2 on sale the other day for like £4. Not loaded it up yet but it seems an absolute bargain going off my previous experience of it, which is a single few-minute YouTube video.
I'm normally game for any kind of simulation nerdery (Farming Simulator being a particular favourite) but I've never been able to bring myself to try the truck one. Isn't it just driving a truck down a road?
I guess so. Not sure what more it could entail to be honest.
But it was so cheap and the nerds go wild for it, I thought why not. When I finally try it in a few years' time, I'll let you know.
But also backing your trailers up into bays, hitching and unhitching them and most importantly, paying speeding fines.
I probably spent way too much time playing Bus Simulator 21.
Can you get put on speed awareness courses? Can you get involved in police chases?
This might shape up to be the best £4 I've ever spent.
Buy yourself a G29 and a copy of Asetto Corsa and be done with it.
You can also murder prostitutes in lay-bys, iirc
Can't be a trucker without doing that.
Vampire Survivors is FREE on Epic. Offer ends in about 20 hours.
Control is today's freebie on Epic. I've already played that but it would be a nice thing to stretch the PC's legs.
SIFU is free on Epic today. Get it.
