Laura Croft: GoL is a great co-op game to play with someone. you and your spouse might like it.

Do I need two copies for local co-op?

[monroeski]

I don't know why on earth I'm considering the Binding of Isaac DLC since I don't really like that game at all and have only talked down on it since I tried playing.

SSFIV and Space Marine seem interesting but honestly I'd rather just get them on a console or something like that so they don't clutter up my Steam games list more than it already is.

You can play on the same copy for local play. Online require each person to have a copy.

Stupid button mash games are better on a couch for me. That's what convinced me to pass on those two for the pc.

I don't have a 360 or PS3 which is why those tempt me...

Just picked up Alan Wake. been wanting to play that for a while.

Need more strong recommendations.

I haven't bought anything yet.

Jumped on the Crusader Kings II + DLC pack for $12.50. Was on the fence about it until I saw the Game of Thrones mod. then I couldn't buy it fast enough.

Its pretty good. I played it on 360 and enjoyed it. My only complaint is the action heavy middle of the game. I really liked the suspenseful moments and the very atmospheric settings. The flash light mechanic feels tired by the end though.

Now that my monitor is higher resolution than my TV, I am having a hard time not gaming on it. IPS, 2560x1440, and 27" has transformed my PC gaming. Even Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 looks amazing on it. I've been gaming on TN panels for so long that I forgot how rich colors can be.

You are right though, some games are better played on a 50" TV with 5.1 surround. I'm holding out for a cheap copy of ME3 for 360 before I finish the series.

This is basically the sole reason I want a new TV. My current 42" plasma would be perfectly fine if not for the fact that it's 720p and every time I hook up a computer to it it jacks up the desktop resolution and rearranges all my icons.

Would love to be playing my PS1 emulator on my TV but I don't want to put up with the rearranging all the time.

I noticed the two Ys games are on sale for a pretty good price. I already own Oath in Felghana and it's pretty good, so I'm definitely going to pick up Origins. Now I play the waiting game to see if the price goes down further...

Origins is now at 60% off.

Purchased.

Some great deals today: $30 for Skyrim, $10 for Dead Island, $5 for Borderlands, $2.50 for Plants vs Zombies. I already own all of those though...

The only one tempting me today is Orcs Must Die!

[Timman_24]

Hows Two Worlds II? I'll probably get Orcs Must Die and Two Worlds II. I wish those indie bundles let you pick your bundle. I have 2-3 games already in all these bundles, but there are a few that I want sprinkled in there.

Also how is Tropico 4? Skyrim and Dead Island are must buys today if you don't have them.
