Didn't get to Alan Wake yet either. Crysis 1 is AMAZING. Crysis 2 is good. Don't bother installing Warhead.

Tmall, if you didn't play it on 360, buy Portal 2. I'll do the coop with you.

And get a fucking headset.

Just cause 2 is a super fun sandbox. Size wise it shits on everything else.

Played the mp mod for almost 5 hours strsight.

For those who don't know, Steams 'TV Mode' Beta was released today. Pretty cool, i've been experimenting with it on my 52.

Assholes. Hook your computers to you bigscreen tv's, and try Biog Picture mode.

Valve does more every day to make consoles obsolete.

Hey assholes, update to big picture mode and see why you should just sell your consoles. Support for controllers of all kinds on top of mouse/keyboard, a new typing tree for controllers which works awesome, a full gallery of all your games. No switching discs or any of that bullshit. A community that is 50 million strong. Tons of free games for all tastes. Im about to pass Tmall a free copy of Counter Strike Go when I see him online. I t also allows the use of Dolphin, which is a Wii Emulator that allows you to use wiimotes and play both gamecube and WiiU games right from the disk. Kinect support is expected to be patched in by november "officially', though current hacked software programs will allow it now.

Valve took everything a console could do, improved on it tenfold, and then gave us a UI and browser that works better than anything seen before on console (They call it the worlds first first person browser), facebook integration is thats you'r thing. And not to mention Dual Screen support that most of us are able to use. Business in one screen, gaming in the other. There is also surround sound support depending on the game, so if your TV is hooked through your home SS, your in luck.

Seriously, you should all try it. If your computer is capable of running even simple games, adding steam to it will give you the best big screen gaming experience you have ever played with.

Its just completely designed for a TV, and controller navigation. And it take all of a minute to install and try.

Got into the DOTA 2 beta. Fucking awesome. Puts League of Legends to shame, and I love LoL.

Still chipping away at Guild Wars 2....not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. It hasn't drawn me in like some MMO's I've played in the past.
