It's $10 bucks right now, which isn't too much to ask for this under-rated strategy game. Once you get past the main character (Rush is SO out of place in this story full of mature characters), you have a very interesting strategy game with a unique setting that deserved more love than it got. Square Enix hasn't gone on record as to WHY they discontinuing sales of this title, but I would be surprised if it was tied to the Unreal Engine 3 agreement they signed when they made this or if it's a tax write off.

Empyrion's half off thru 9/3 (ten bux, normally 20)



I'm about to wipe the server and put a new solar system map with new planets on it this weekend. So if anybody's been curious about getting into it, this might be a good opportunity.

And I have new RAM on the way, so we'll see if that fixes the problem I was having with this too...

I still haven't played Space Engineers after I bought it on sale, so probably going to give it a miss. Tempted, though.

It's pretty different from space engineers, is the thing... Space Engineers emphasizes physics, logistics, and automation, with survival/gameplay/combat being largely an afterthought. Empyrion is the other way around - it has a lot more survival aspects, a more varied amount of character and gear customizations, and a lot of the "simulation" or realism is fudged or smoothed over in favor of playability. As far as my personal preference goes, I'd rather play Empyrion than Space Engineers, even though Empyrion is still bugtastic alpha and space engineers is post-release polished.

But yeah, it's still a space sandbox game.

My only complaints about Emyprion right now are that you can't really do anything underwater right now and the hard limits placed on weapon load-outs basically pre-determine the "correct" way to build ships. Space Engineers has a lot more practical variety when it comes to ship building, basically because the developers give you more tools to use.

They just changed how turret limits work, so now everybody's scrambling to figure out how the meta has changed. From what I've heard, they are no longer limited by individual turret, but by turret type - IE, the hitscan turrets share a cap, the energy weapons share a cap, the AE explosive (flak and homing missile) weapons share a cap. So you have more options now - you can swap out 15mm turrets for more 30mm ones, etc. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that in 90% of PvP encounters, the only weapons that really matter are homing missiles.

But as for space engineers, one of the big gripes I had about it was that all the weapons sucked. You had basically 2 types of weapons, gatling guns and missile launchers (dumbfire), in both fixed and turret types. Both had a range of 800m. Gatling guns did laughable damage, but missiles were hard to hit with. It made fights cumbersome affairs.

Empyrion has some issues with PVP too, but at least there's variety and options in weaponry.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is free on Steam through Humble Bundle.

While not a "must play" perfect game, I generally enjoyed playing Space Marine, and so if any of you have ever thought about watching Sam Neill fight Orks, I'd recommend you definitely snag this.

And yet I can't blame them too harshly; the AAA titles are used in the monthly edition to entice folks but it also exposes them to a bunch of great indie stuff in the process. It might be a little more corporate now, but it DOES still support the indie community.

It's really good by the way.

When I used to play Street Fighter all the time with my fighting game bud, now we DBFZ.

GOG.com will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary by giving away either: Firewatch, Shadow Warrior 2, or SuperHot on Thursday, and you can vote now on which one you want.

I'm torn, do I vote for the one I want, or vote for the one I've played and think other people should play as well?

I liked Shadow Warrior more than either but I really liked the rebooted Shadow Warrior. Awesome fun, dumb FPS.

I liked Shadow Warrior 1 a whole lot, but the second one felt a little too borderlandsy to me. That said, I'll still play it for free
