Starts good but quickly loses the course and falls into overall mediocrity.
Worth 10 bucks though.
I can't compare it to Dark Souls as I've never bought Dark Souls.

I loved F.E.A.R. It's definitely a classic in my book. Too bad the sequels didn't live up to the original.

I don't know if it's just because I played it several years after it came out, but FEAR never did anything for me. Maybe it changes a few hours in, but I thought it was a fairly generic, dull shooter.

It could be the time when you played … because I am totally with JDR - one of my absolute fave modern shooters.

I do wonder if it's the time delay, but I was also never into either Half Life game, so I'm obviously a bit different from the norm in my FPS tastes.

In non-video game sales, there's a sale on old D&D books going on at RPGNow/DriveThruRPG. They haven't re-released all the old ones yet, but there are enough to satisfy most of your old school cravings.

I'm the weirdo who even liked the F.E.A.R expansions and F.E.A.R 2 but part no. 3 was definitely on the weaker side of things. Still not an entirely bad game but it's certainly not a must-have and only for fans of the series.

JDR, how many years have we been waiting for Harry Potter to hit GOG? Hallelujah!

BTW, the FEAR games were pretty darn good. Really require some tactics (at least on harder difficulties).

What separates FEAR from other shooters (in addition to the atmosphere and bullet time ofcourse) is the enemy AI - it was (and probably still is) one of the best in FPS gaming.

-50% off (10€).
A rare proper port of a nearmasterpiece game where the publisher respects both the platform and the audience, you don't have a feeling you need a controller to make the game playable.
I recommend playing with japanese audio and english subtitles.

I enjoyed Valkyrie a lot, with sound off and Tool blasting in the condo. I think I switched up to some Cradle of Filth when the fighting got intense )). Of course, subtitles ftw!

Crusader Kings 2 is also 75% off, but I guess if by now you haven't bought one of the two best games ever made in the history of humankind (the other one being Europa Universalis 4, both in the top 5 in the whole universe), then you probably are just a crazy person and don't want to buy it.

Bundle Stars has a new bundle up called Trinity.

And for $2.49 you get Legend of Aeththereus and 9 other games. The most notable being Stronghold 3 gold. L of E is still going for 30 bucks on Steam, but the reviews are mostly negative. A number of Steam reviewers stated wait for the game to get into a bundle.

Well, at your service . . .

I got it last year in a different bundle, and I have to agree with those reviews. It's pretty terrible.
