The next free game from Ubisoft is live:
https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-GB/ubi30I loved the original Splinter Cell. The newer versions really messed with the stealth gameplay.
You mean like sneaking and waiting for half an hour, get shot and start over? Yeah, that was great.
The first one forced you into a gun battle against the mercs in the Abattoir though, that was hard work.
Pandora Tomorrow was the best, it refined the concepts of the original, gave more options whilst holding onto a great story and gave us an amazing cat and mouse multiplayer game mode.
Chaos Theory was really good but much easier to run and gun.
Conviction and the other one I skipped, went onto Blacklist during a steam sale, it's a complete bomb-bastic shooter.

Yep. Pretty much this.

Remember Operation Flashpoint?
No car or chopper available, so you had to take a walk for the 10 miles. Half a mile before the target, you get shot from nowhere. Ok, no problem, next try - but this time, you'll get shot from somewhere else

Life is Strange Episode 1 is free starting tomorrow.

Green man gaming is having their Summer Sale right now. It isn't as extensive as Steam's, but it has some good titles.

Clash Royale anyone? We could start a tournament.

I'm hooked on that one. It's got surprising depth for a silly F2P game.

Indeed. Supercell games make you feel competitive without dropping a ton of $.

I haven't spent a single dollar on it. I rarely do on those sorts of games. Let some other poor addict pay for it

Been playing Fable. Hoping to have some time to get to it this weekend.

Solidly into Fallout 4. Had to increase the FOV so I wouldn't barf, but otherwise I'm enjoying the game a lot. It's more in the style of FO3, which I preferred over FNV.

Oddly, I'm the other way FO:NV was much more enjoyable for me then FO3. That's one of the reasons I'm holding off on FO4 until it goes on a deep sale.

A significant percentage of the Steam reviews bash it for losing the character building aspects and say that it feels more like an adventure shooter than an ARPG. What is your experience?

Same, looking for the big sale here as well.

Whoops, means The Wolf Among Us which is based on the comic book Fable, not the video game.

Um... freaking awesome!

I love the Telltale story telling platform. A little action to keep you seriously engaged, but tons of dialogue choices and real stories and stuff that make you really passionate about the characters and such.

Pre-purchase for Telltale's upcoming Batman series was just announced on Steam. I have never liked comic books but telltale really makes me enjoy them because they put you into them in a way that I've never seen before.
