I'm holding out for a deal on Star Wars TFU 1. Played it on the 360 when it came out, a solid middle-of-the-road hack'n'slash. Weighing up if a couple of quid and higher frame rate would be worth the hassle of a 30GB(!) download and modifying it to remove the 30fps cap.

Oh yeah, and it doesn't use listenservers. I'm not sure if that's what matchmaking implies, but it doesn't. It's all dedicated servers, fortunately.
Edit: And like Aldaris says below, if it has to be a "damn good DLC" to be worth bothering with, don't. It's not really anything special in any particular way. It's also really short. The info blurb on the Steam page promises "over 2 hours of unique content," and if that sounds kind of suspect, it's because it is. I was in no particular hurry to finish, I spent a while fiddling with GFWL to get the DLC to work, and Steam says I've played 3.2 hours of Arkham City in the last two weeks. It's very short. I wouldn't be surprised if some people have completed it in 90 minutes or so.

And just to mention it, if anyone doesn't already own Binding of Isaac (and the Wrath of the Lamb expansion), go buy it. NAO. Super Meatboy is another great one, though MUCH more frustrating.
Saints Row 3 is... well. Decent at least. Kept me playing until the end, which very few games can do. A lot of the time it gets outright stupid though. It's as if GTA was designed by a roomful of drunk wannabe-gangbanger bros yelling out random ****, that got thrown in the game. Which probably is what happened, honestly. Areas get repetitive quickly, the clothing options are best described as 'one nice suit, and a whole bunch of stupid/goofy or d-baggy ****'. For my money, Mafia II was a better game overall.
Been filling out my library, but for the most part the stuff coming up on sale are games I already own, or have no interest in. (Seriously, CoD: BLOPS sounds more like a bad time after dodgy seafood... and the gameplay is even less appetizing.)
Here's something that's weird to me: Not until I spoke with a friend did I even realize that it is possible to raise the flashlight (so it's easier to aim) without using the "power mode" or whatever it was called. Because it isn't on the PC, that's a console-exclusive feature. You get it by depressing the "aim flashlight" shoulder button halfway, which of course you can't do with a mouse or keyboard. But why didn't they find some OTHER way of doing that? When you're aiming with your flashlight you're slowed to walking pace anyway, so why not combine it with the walk button in some way? Or even just have it available as an extra keybind?

Good to see the take-up of Crysis 2: it's not a terrible game at all. I think as soon as it was announced that EA was publishing the game all the internet hipsters instantly hated it ala BF3.

yea, but i'm disappointed that the multiplayer is much more tame than Crysis 1's was. It's been boiled down to a COD clone, whereas the Crysis 1 multi was quite a bit more interesting.

EA published the first Crysis, and Crysis Warhead. They have also published every Battlefield game.

Weirdly, I love Crysis 2 multiplayer - It has a real nice feel to it, and the Crysis elements work really well. I only stopped because I didn't know anyone else playing it.

One of the greatest games i've played
That game is really under-rated IMO, and its absolutely gorgeous and a ton of fun. I loved it..

Console ports. Sigh.

pretty good pull i think, not too over the top.
EA published the first Crysis, and Crysis Warhead. They have also published every Battlefield game.
I already had anything that interested me and I didn't want to buy anything I probably wouldn't end up playing anyway.
