I picked up Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam (enjoying it quite a bit, even though it mostly involves driving overland on the highway - kinda soothing, though, if you turn on music in the background).

Been thinking of picking that one up- how does it compare to, say, the original Hard Truck?  Or Bus Driver?
Experience bij!

Downloaded the DUST 514 beta for the PS3.  It has possibilities.

Haven't played either, so can't say. It's rather casual, though, depending on driving model you choose (you can play with steering wheel, clutch/stick shift if you're so equipped - I use the "real" automatic). I find the game rather soothing.

This game (now on Steam) wins my "Pretentiousness In Sales Blurb Award":

QuoteBientôt l'été

Bientôt l'été is a videogame for two players. Two players who pretend to be lovers. They pretend to be lovers separated from each other by lightyears of deep space. They have lonely walks along the shore of a simulated ocean, thinking wistful thoughts of each other. Thoughts from ancient Earth literature by Marguerite Duras.

The empty beach, the strong wind, the gentle music and a small colony of electric seagulls are their only companions. Yet their heart is full and their mind confused. Walk along the shore, until they meet the emptiness.

When it all becomes too much, they run towards each other. Enabled by intergalactic networks, they touch each other's holographic bodies in cyberspace. A surreal game of chess becomes the apparatus through which they, man and woman, can talk. The words they have were given to them, as they have always been to lovers everywhere.

The sea remains, tugging at their hearts when not at their hairs and clothes, as it itself is tugged by the virtual moon. And as great as the desire for the other may be, they cannot stay away from the wind and the waves and the sand. Every time they find a new treasure. An abandoned tennis field. An heap of coal. A dead dog. Ordinary. Absurd. Meaningless. Yet comforting.

Enter a café, exit a villa, enter a casino, exit the ruin of an ancient colonial mansion. We know this is not real. So it doesn't surprise us. Nothing surprises us. It doesn't matter when you feel the pain of love. Of being in love, of falling in love, of leaving in love. There is no such thing as time. There is only love. And it never stops. No matter how much it hurts.

The premise reads like a Eric Rohmer movie script, and just as boring.  :hmm:

I played the first one, but didn't finish, because I'm horrible at survival horror games. I love horror movies, but in game form I can't handle it well. Also, I hate jump scares.


Speaking of which. Gameplay trailer for Slender - The Arrival. Pre-order price is under €3.50.

Gratified to see The Longest Journey kickstarter doing so well so fast.  Hopefully I will just have to scratch together enough fund to get the cheap copy  :P  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey

Have any games been made yet with kickstarter funding?

Me too, don't care about horror films at all but can't do scary games. Hated the haunted hotel part of bloodlines <_<


I thought that slender game was a free one that had been out for a while?
