For those too lazy to click a link

Here is a trailer for Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior

And now I'm going on strike

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Directors Cut

http://community.eidosmontreal.com/blogs/Directors-Cut-PC-Digital-Release-Details

So – to the upgrades. Here are the deals:
New purchase (if you don’t already have the game): £12.99/€19.99/$19.99
Own the basic game (with no DLC): £6.99/€7.99/$9.99
Own the game and Missing Link DLC: £3.49/€3.99/$4.99

This is pretty cool, I was going to buy it full price at 30 dollars anyways... now I get it for 5 bucks!
Granted this is what they should do (or free), but most big companies other than CD projekt don't.

I think I might have to restart Agarest, this DLC seems more like straight up cheats lol. I guess I could just not use all the OP items but I am only an hour in and that is with all the dialog/intro.

Do you like it? Have u played tactics over or disgea? It looks interesting but I played neptunia and it was terrible.

I played the GBA Tactics Ogre back in the day, never got to finish it tho.

I'm still super early so I can't really say how good it is yet. Seems ok so far, I bought it mainly to support more of these games coming over to PC than anything TBH. I know silly way to spend money but whatever. being locked to 720p is kinda annoying,especially as it's a mostly 2D game, surely they could have ad 1080p even on PS3 lol. Maybe there is a way of changing that outside the game tho, I will have to check. Mouse controls seem to work fine as you would expect for this type of game a pointer is faster for selecting and moving units etc (for me anyway), tho the UI is clearly designed for a controller which causes a little annoyance at times usually in menus.

Edit: ok the resolution can be changed in an .ini file easy enough, doesn't really change much tho lol.

Some more deets on the SOMA trailer

"Making The Trailer
While the footage above is unedited gameplay footage (I played through and recorded it myself), it is not from an actual game level. Just like with our Amnesia teaser video, it is a custom made map that is meant to show off the general feel and tone of the game over a four minute long trailer. This means that it is not an exact representation of how the game is actually played. It gives a pretty good idea of how the gameplay works though."

You're going to buy legend of heroes: Trails in the sky then right? Because that game is actually really great. And the 2nd one's translation is done by the people that did the game you like (Recettear).
