That is the only reason I havent gotten Brother's yet, my gamepad is horrific and cheap and refuses to work with most games.

Next time when James give away a console again we should try and get you to win it so that you can play Brothers. It's truly a masterpiece. When I first started the game and the characters spoke their own weird language I wondered how people can like the game. And then it grew on me.

I hope you get a good gamepad at some stage. :)

It's an excellent game. The ending is something that I will always remember. One thing though, I hope you've got a gamepad of some kind.

Have the Logitech F310. That thing works like a charm :)

Also a heads up for the people grabbing a controller, stay away from the Razer Onza. It's brilliant at first, but the analogue sticks will become problematic. Had two Onzas, and both their right stick began to drift after 3 months. RMA'd units began to do the same thing 3 months later. :(

the best controller for the PC, is a wired XBOX controller.

learned that the hard way. Been playing on my 360 controller for the last while, then bought a thrustmaster wireless. The first game I tried, left for dead 2 only allows me to look up and down- no left and right, and on top of it, when I look up it also shoots, and down give my feet a solid melee attack. completely frustrating.

Very lucky.

Does anyone know whether Next Car Game is any better than its name implies?

The little bit I played of Next Car Game (still early alpha back then) was pretty impressive. That physics engine of theirs is pretty damn awesome. Craziest damage modelling I've come across in a game. Cars handle really good as well. Basically if you're a fan of Bugbear's previous games (especially the Flatout games) you will love it. It definitely has a lot of potential.

Sale has been a little disappointing for me. I must of spent around $150 during the Xmas sale. Only spent below $40 on this one and I have held off many day 1 purchases for the last 9 months.
 
The reddit collusion has come to an end. Onward to victory, my red team comrades.

For some reason I got a foil and normal summer sale card added to my inventory. Anyone know why? I had already received my card from voting earlier as well, so in total I got three cards.

What sorcery is this! Is it because I crafted a badge and red team won?

You get 2 cards of your team won, and you contributed to said win by giving your team points.

Yip, the original Xbox controller or a SCUFF. Most 3rd party Xbox 360 controllers(Looking at you Razer and Mad Catz) are sh*t.

Got a Logitech F710 and it's awesome. Emulates an XBOX controller perfectly in all games that support it natively. For all the others, a flick of a switch at the back puts it in legacy mode.
 
So far I've bought the Witcher 2 and Brothers: a tale of 2 sons. Not regretting any of the purchases although I don't know where I'm going to find time to play The Witcher 2.

I played the first Witcher and didn't like it at all. It looks like such a good game but I don't like the guy that you play as. I really wished I can also enjoy the Witcher games.

As for Brothers, well that an awesome game! Like I told Wyvern though, I hope you have a gamepad because otherwise you are going to have a bad time.
 
Anyone else find these community choice deals frustrating. They pair AAA games with lesser known titles, so the AAA always win out, even though they've already come on sale like 50 times.
