What are your "guilty pleasure" games?

[Freshbite]

Should have it within the week.

Wow. I applaud you.

Wait, how did TimeShift get mediocre reviews? That looked like the bad-assenest game ever when it came out.

Impressive marketing.

[Korban3]

So, it really was a mediocre game?
*Goes to watch a Let's Play*
YOU LIED TO ME, YOU SUNNUVA BITCH!
That game isn't half bad looking at 240p. Seems pretty fun.

[Freshbite]

I know, I thought the same thing. But apparently it has gotten mostly mediocre ratings from game-critics.

[Glabbit]

Insofar as I could see, it had several reviews that proclaimed it was fantastic, and two or three that gave it below a 3 out of 10.
So yeah. iDunno.

[Korban3]

Probably movie critics trying to boost their egos by reviewing games. Which they obviously don't understand. I applaud Time Shift for being bad ass. And denounce the review writers who said otherwise.
I mean, it's almost like saying Scatman John sucks because he has a sweet mustache or something. To be honest, I can't find ground to even joke about anything he did giving reason for him to suck.

[Freshbite]

I guess Timeshift wasn't a "guilty pleasure" for me after all, with the critics apparently being wrong about it.

Speaking of which, http://cdon.se/spel/time_shift-518122
9 SEK corresponds to somewhat over 1 USD.

I ordered one...

I believe all games I play are AWESOME.

[Korban3]

Wow, only about a dollar? That's awesome. I might have to pick that game up too.

Everything else on that site is way overpriced. $60 for a ps3 controller? $80 for Mass Effect 3?

That is ridiculous.

[Freshbite]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend you guys buying from there at all, with their warehouses being located in Sweden. Console games often weigh at about 80$ when they're just released. I think that's strongly overpriced. The same game but a PC Version will often drop about 40% in value when a console game has dropped 10%.


Two references where this sort of apply:
---
Mass Effect 3 : PC, XBOX360, PS3.
Assassin's Creed - Revelations : PC, XBOX360, PS3.

I only buy from there for those lulzy bargains, like with the Timeshift game. And this. I bought that together with another ridiculously cheap game when I got a coupon for about ~7$, and the shipping was free. I had to pay 1 SEK, which is about 1/7 of a USD.

[adwuga]

That is awesome.

[Korban3]

Lolwut? Splinter Cell Quadrilogy? That cheap? Man, that site sure does its best to knock both ends of the price range as far apart as they can.

Minesweeper ...

It's so casual, but i play it a lot.

Yeah, that's why I keep coming back there. They have just as many ridiculously overpriced goods as they ridiculously underpriced ones. I love it.

Minesweeper is awesome and challenging and really annoying when you get stuck in a 50%-chance-corner after clearing the whole field.

And I had a try at Timeshift - it's pretty sweet-lookin', and the story is really interesting. The annoyance is that the puzzles are simple and the combat unrelenting. It feels more like a standard shooter with some time elements to make dumb jocks exercise their brains a little more than usual than a puzzle-shooter.

Still good for brainless funzies though.
