Just completed "Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1" and for it being my first "Point click adventure" I really enjoyed it. Glad to have picked up the telltale bundle off of steam.

Ruesattack, AC2 is leap year superior than its predecessor. I played 2 hours of AC1 and 41 hrs of AC2 (1000 pts gamers core BOOYAA) That is a proper representation of how much better it is.

I'm extremely skeptical of Bioshock 2 and saving my excitement for Mass Effect 2.

I have also been playing tons of games on retrouprising.com especially my childhood favorite "NHL93PA" for the sega genesis and love the "Save game" feature that most classics were missing

I found a copy of Oregon Trail at Best Buy and bought it a week ago. I remember this game from my childhood. Still just as fun.

I was sceptical too but then I realised that John Thomas (of the Cradle in Thief: Deadly Shadows and Fort Frolic in Bioshock) is the creative designer. I'm ok with that.

Oh man, I will now be spending a lot of time there.

AC2 has been pretty cool thus far. I've been trying to stick to playing in the streets, blending in with the crowds and stuff instead of just sticking to the rooftops which already makes it more fun than the first one to me. Plus the storyline is infinitely more interesting already.

As far as Bioshock 2 goes, if they even get half of what was right with the original down, it'll be awesome. Plus I heard the sequences where portions of the city cave in and you get to wander the ocean floor are awesome because it plays out in real time instead of as a cutscene. I dunno about the multiplayer so much, but Gamestop is offering a couple of exclusive characters as a preorder bonus so I might as well just plunk down $5 for it. I'm gonna end up buying it anyway.

Madeyeshawn and rhesusattack... I'm on the same track, been playing AC2 A LOT lately. It is head over heels better than the first one in so many ways.

And to the living dead... Oregon Trail is a fucking classic.

Yeah, I love how I'm into the third area of the game and I haven't repeated the same quest objective one time. Fantastic.

Final Deal at the Steam House, and it's a big one:

BioShock http://store.steampowered.com/app/7670/
Grand Theft Auto IV http://store.steampowered.com/app/12210/
Torchlight http://store.steampowered.com/app/41500/
Left 4 Dead 2 http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/
Killing Floor http://store.steampowered.com/app/1250/
Defense Grid: The Awakening http://store.steampowered.com/app/18500/
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl http://store.steampowered.com/app/4500/

All from about 3 dollars up to maximum 20...

Bioshock and GTA IV need no intro. If you do not have them you have to fix it now.

Also S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a beauty.

What else? Oh right, that zombie thing...

(I outgeeked Standardman! Oh NOES!)

Oooh, I must find that game.
It's one of my best memories from childhood.

Beat me to it! It's kind of a best of from the other days, all worth getting if you don't already have them. I might pick up GTA IV, despite having it on the 360.
