Might purchase Duke for a fiver. I find myself stockpiling steam sale games and never playing them. Cthulhu Looks interesting. What's possibly more interesting is that Cthulhu is the iPhone dictionary and it actually corrected me. What is Cthulhu????

Cthulhu is a fictional creature, looks a bit like Zoiberg from Futurama but green and huge.

For 68p I got it, also got Mass Effect 2 and Test Drive Unlimited 2.

Didn't get Duke, after all the shitty reviews I couldn't be bothered to spend a fiver on it.

Well funnily enough I read the article that was either on or linked by arstechnica about why anyone would buy games at release. It said duke isn't "as bad" as people said and at sale value is worth it. Big diff between £5 and £30-£40... Speaking of sales, single player games drop rapidly. Deus Ex human revolution on console is available for less than £20. Mental.

I think I've already got mass effect 2 on steam. Got the first one too on Xbox and steam but I find it boring. I really wanted to finish the first one before paying 2 as you can continue your save. And considering you can kill people in the first one that are (or aren't...) in the second it would have been good.

I don't have much time to play other games now that I have Skyrim and a lot of FPS's have been merging in to one are all the same.

RAGE, Duke, Serious Sam etc. Nothing new or clever.

I plumped for new Vegas based on the fact I've put over 12 hours into fallout 3 and still didn't finish the addons. Need to spend more time playing and less time planning characters. I do the same thing oblivion. Not sure whether to bother with any of the dlc really...

I swear to God. £0.68 on Cthulhu was well worth it. I only managed to start the game for 5 minutes last night before going out and my god I was laughing. Who needs fancy graphics and physics engines when you can have genuine comedy.

That is the first game that I can remember for about 10 years where I have genuinely laughed out loud. Can't wait to get stuck into it. Doesn't take itself seriously and rips the piss out of modern games at the same time. Great stuff.

Just realised I said over 12 (wow) hours into Fallout 3. I meant 120 :lol:
