Steam Summer Sale Day 03 - Two Sentence Review Guide

So, I spent the last 48 hours in an amazing little cabin on the outskirts of Rauma in Finland. No internet, no running water and a little electricity, so I made the best of my time, making fires, drinking cider and being a man. I returned to civilisation to find that not much had changed. Clocks still went clockwise and Steam was still having a large sale on cheap games, so let's get into the front page of Day 3. Standard review style, two sentences, humourous caption with image maybe something snarky. Also remember, I'm in a different region, so prices may vary slightly.

Also I come from a different time.

First to start with the community chosen sale item, LA Noire. 1950's Los Angeles where you play as a cop picking up clues left by killers and rapists. Don't bother driving in the city, just enjoy the stunning graphics and having Phelps freak out any time you doubt someone.
9 running perps out of 10
Price: $7.50

Who took the last fucking teabag of Earl Grey?

Now with the Front Page titles.
Borderlands GOTY. This FPS RPG is one of those rare games that you'll find putting in several hours into despite the simple premise. Traverse the wasteland, gain XP, get psyched for the sequel and if you've got some friends, have the time of your life.
10 screaming psychos out of 10.
Price: $7.50

You will never get tired of headshotting these things...ever

What I've been up to this week - December 10th

Well other than my girlfriend moving in with me, things have been pretty crazy this week online.
I got some  bad news but not completely depressing but I can easily bounce back from it. Only financial stuff...but anyway the good stuff.

My official post of the IGDA Sydney event Bits and Pieces went live only this morning and I've been getting great feedback from those who attended.

You can read all about the event right here.

Look there's a picture of me talking with Molniya Games Catherine McAdam, being all journalism-y.

Yes, this is a game. Yes, you should buy it.

Also I talked to the developer Bill Stiernberg, co-creator of Cthulu Saves the World and Breath of Death at Zeboyd Games. You can read the interview here
You can buy their games right here on Steam and it's less than $3. It's awesome.

Coming up next week is my review for Digital Reality's Skydrift, which has been a hell of a lot of fun and also talk to the creators of Orc's Must Die, which is also a fantastic game which I cannot suggest you play more than a PR marketer who just finished doing a line of coke off a hundred thousand dollar check.

Hey, Bruce Campbell called, wants his chins back.

The game is great for fans of Tower Defense Strategy games but likes to get up close and personal with the action. It's less than $20 on Steam too :)

Will keep you updated when I get some more interviews and reviews, remember it's all on QJ.net.
