You get used to it, start as the medic and - it's an easy way to get into the team work and to observe people using the other classes. Failing that, be the Heavy or Soldier and shoot shit.

The Spy is the hardest but most satisfying class, there's a real tension in infiltrating a team and waiting for the right moment to attack.

360 owners should be following Major Nelson on twitter (if you aren't already) he'll be updating with the 360 holiday deals. They've been a bit pants so far, though.

Galactic Civilizations II is on sale for $1.99 on Impulse. It's like the Civilization games only bigger and IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, you also get to design your own ships, this game is awesome.

All of PopCap's downloadable games are 50% off until the 24th - If you haven't played Peggle, Plants vs Zombies or Bejeweled, you can for cheap!

Torchlight is half price on Steam, might grab this and hope it's not cheaper at Christmas.

And, of course Team Fortress 2 is half price until Monday. Easily my favourite online team game.

I played the Torchlight demo, I alt-tabbed out of the Torchlight demo, I bought Torchlight.

If you like Diablo then do not hesitate, buy it right now. It's only single player but it's everything you loved about Diablo with extra improvements and there is even an editor that (I'm told) you'll be able to use to create anything that's in the main game.

Shadow Complex is on sale on Xbox Live - 800 points.

I bought it, I love it and cant stop playing it.

I call it a convenient and prettier version of Diablo 2.

Pretty much exactly the direction they came from, the music is even by the same guy. Shame it's single player but it's so much fun that I don't mind.

An MMO, I hear! The whispers say it might be free to play too (read: micro transactions).

I know what you mean, I pretty much only buy games that are on sale but I still spend a fortune on them.

SPEAKING OF SALES, GOG.com have a ridiculous surprise sale on, well, everything. Their entire catalogue is up to 40% off for the next 13 days. Insane.

There are far too many to list (200ish) but I took a screenshot to give you an idea:



If you want to try something new and aren't sure, Shiny Entertainment are usually worth the gamble and you should play this thing. I love this site, old gems for cheap without DRM and with extras.

Unusual tower defense game Immortal Defense is on sale for £whatever you want to pay. Paypal charges 31 cents so it's 31 cents up, if you donate over $25, it counts as a preorder for thier next game too. It's on until the 1st.
