I understand the contradiction but I think you'll find the quality of Sonic Generations rises above just that.

If memory serves, the demo on Xbox was time limited so I don't know if it is still active. If it gives you some Green Hell, well, I guess that's alright.

Played a bit of Bloody Good Time as my dalliance with Ship reminded me of BGT and I kinda regret coming down so hard on it. Just about every change it made to the game was for the better except for the cramped, claustrophobic maps and the lack of proper identity hunting.

Just finished demo, which gives you two variations of Green Hill. It was good, but I'm really not a Sonic person. I'm more a fan of the idea of Sonic.

I have bought Rock of Ages.

Therefore, it will be in the next indie bundle.

Sweet, thanks you are the best lol.

Grrr. I keep trying to play Beat Hazard, but it keeps freezing on a loading screen.

I don't get this Rock of Ages praisal. It looks kinda boring to me. Creepy, even.

I feel the same way. Controls take some getting used to as well, it just feels so unresponsive at 1900x1200 resolution. If I lower the res, the controls are a bit better, which seems weird.

On the other hand, I finally won a game with the RoA achievement (Binding of Isaac). BoI is quite fun, but it seems the holiday achievement for that game is ridiculously more time consuming than the majority of the other holiday achievements. I got frustrated trying to get it after an hour and quit haha.

Did the And Yet It Moves achievement and got 10% off Valve.

I tried the jumping over the pillars trick but the game just crashes once I touch bandage girl (every single time).... looks like I'll have to do it legit, which kinda sucks since those SMB levels are really, really hard

Because it's an indie game. Indie games are so kewlz because it's different~!!!1 That's the impression I got from what it looks like, at least. Although at the sale price it's hard to truly regret it if you don't like it.

Jamestown has been an amazing purchase, btw

I hate that game so much and only play it during sales for achievments

What bothers me is that everything has to be 90 degrees and if you hit the wrong key you're stuck slowly going back the other way
Bah

I enjoyed the game and beat it some months ago. It works far better with a controller, imo. It's wonky but creative.

Picked up Anomaly, so that's to be in the next Indie bundle of some sort, of course. Also grabbed Bulletstorm and RF:A.

Slowly whittling away at my wishlist. Feels good.

Sums up my feelings well. I didn't know much about it going in, as I got it from some bundle or another. I just found it irritating. There's a je ne sais quoi about it that rubs me the wrong way. I'm not sure if it's the artstyle, that grating death sound, or just the frustration when things didn't quite work how you thought but I was glad to see the end of it after the achievement popped.

It's funny how working on your wish list feels so good huh? From the wish list, to the backlog for most of mine though.

For the Beat Hazard achievement, there is an easy glitch method (if that's your thing).

So far I got Portal, and Hoard as gifts.

I'm having massive problems with this game, which sucks as I really enjoyed it the last time I played. I'm having to use a couple threads on the forum. Uninstalling my game, switching Steam to offline mode, entering command files in a text doc for the game...

Finally got it to run, then it froze again. We'll see.

I played it last night. It is kinda a competitive Marble Madness where your opponent puts obstacles in your way to keep you from getting to the bottom and vice versa. It took me a while to realize that. The controls were frustrating me until I realized that, and took a more controlled approach to getting down the hill to the goal.

The art style is very similar to Terry Gilliam's animated sequences for Monty Python, so that has some attraction for me as well.

The Bit.Trip.Runner achievement is making me hate the game.

So conflicted. Should I buy Bastion or hold off? I need to decide very soon since I'm leaving in a half hour to go somewhere with crappy cell service and won't be back until late night.

Eh. Screw it. *buys*
