Honestly, I think the only time I've been really disappointed was with the original Devil May Cry... talk about a short game. It was still fun as hell though. There are some games where they are short but they are crap so I'm glad they are over soon. I finished Devil May Cry 2 in about 3 hours but it really blew so I wasn't too upset about it.

I generally try not to judge games by their length, unless they go on for too long like Resident Evil 4. I was quite entertained by both the gameplay and story of The Darkness II, but I definitely would have felt a little cheated if I had bought it on launch day, because a 4 hour campaign is not worth $60 unless it's Call of Duty in which case you know the multiplayer portion will be continually supported and populated.

Anyways I finally got S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky working properly and am enjoying it quite a bit. I loved the first one, and this one is pretty big improvement on some of the more technical aspects of the game, like the GUI and environments.

No, it's not. You don't even have to sing the words correctly, you can just hum it at the right pitch and it will give you high scores. My old roommate used to hum a majority of the songs on Expert.

Someone said I needed a shot of whiskey for my cold and now my ears are hurting. I think just hot water-base fluids.

Does anyone know how to configure the PS3 controller buttons when playing Final Fantasy 7 on PC?

Final Fantasy 7: Controls

Those are the actual controls but when using my controller, triangle and circle are the wrong way round for example. It's doing my head in.

LoathsomePete · 06-02-2013, 12:31 AM

If there isn't a way to remap the control in the settings menu then it would probably have to be done through editing a .conf file. I would recommend asking Google, with any luck you'll come across a forum post asking the same question and getting a response that works. I've never been unable to get a PC game working after consulting forums, so I hope you experience the same luck as me.

A little early to tell if this game is going to get the same hype behind it that prior indie 2D platformers like Limbo and Braid got, but it definitely is something else. It's easily one of the best looking indie games to come out in recent memory, utilizing a claymation style sets so the textures look incredibly detailed. It also has really nice ambient music soundtrack that I would really like to get my hands on because it is quite nice background music, and I have been really getting into indie game soundtracks. Story wise it's pretty sparse to begin with, but I believe it gets more fleshed out the further you go. It has a really neat puzzle concept involving a gun that creates clones and you have to use that solve puzzles, so it's basically like a 2D version of Portal but without the humor.

While the indie market may eventually get oversaturated with 2D puzzle platformers one day, this is definitely a great addition to the genre, highly recommended.

I've been enjoying the **** out of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I had never played any of the other Far Cry games, but after playing the demo I decided this was a game for me. This game is every great 80's action movie rolled into one awesome FPS. This game manages to pay homage to virtually every one of my favorite movies from that era. On top of all that, Michael Biehn voices the main character Rex Power Colt. The cut scenes, the gameplay, the music...there was no way I wasn't going to love this game. The over the top attitude is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been.

Just to give you an idea of how over the top it is:

After offering Rex some drugs:

Dr. Darling: Listen. This will make you more like Sloan. Powerful but without the side effects.
Rex: No, Doc. No way. I swore an oath to a special lady.
Dr. Darling: Your...wife?
Rex: No. Lady Liberty. She taught me that winners don't use drugs.

Hell. Yes.
