Dead Space 1 and 2 are 40% off each in EA's horrible own online store. How much will you bet that it will be the Steam deal either Saturday or Sunday?

$10 an offer I couldn't refuse to get both Crysis and Warhead.

I'm pretty excited to try Warhead, but I wish I would have got around to it before I played 2.

Warhead falls neatly between Crysis 1 and 2 in terms of gameplay. It's not a true open world like the original, but it's a lot less restricted than the sequel. It's still fun, though juggling the suit powers can get annoying sometimes.

I wouldn't call any of the Crysis games "true open world", which is a term I'd apply more to games like STALKER. The Crysis games are all super linear they just give you a few ways to approach situations, both physically and tactically. I don't feel like this design philosophy has bee diluted much even as the physical dimensions of the levels vary.

I said I'd buy Dead Space 2 at $20 but it's $24. Worth it?

I suppose, but they're really expansive environments, even if it's not all that useful.

Depends. How much do you like killing mutant babies?

[Rumpy]

$24 is a great deal.

Sold.

I think those are actually toddlers, but the babies do pack a punch if you're not careful (not many of them though).

Babies, toddlers, tweens... it's got them all pretty much.
