the only one I don't have and might be interested in is that ALIEN one, read good things about it... what's your opinion of it, worth it? and why is a season pass needed? What have they released for it or going to?

BTW SimHQ... REALLY! video ads now! Stop ruining my once favorite forum already!

I already have most of the big games as well. Might be a game I'll pick up just because it's so cheap.

It's OK, basically lots of stealth and running away from an alien biggrin

For the ads, in this day and age there's really no reason not to have AdBlock running on your PC. Go grab it and never look back.

OK, I noticed Worms battlefield is free... so I figured what the hell... but what is that? Anyone play it?

I kept on to support SimHQ in the past, but maybe it's time. wink

It's like a side scrolling action game.

For AdBlock compared to the teeny revenue they get from ads maybe we have a donation bin somewhere for SimHQ? If we don't we should probably get one set up.

Alien Isolation is pretty good if you are a fan of the original movie, it's more of a survival horror than a shooter though.

HALO MMC collection is a great deal at that price, I'm tempted to buy it just to have it digital and then trade in my physical copy.

I picked up Lords of the Fallen, I heard it was an easier take on Dark Souls II which I enjoy on PC, for $9 it is worth trying it out.

Awesome sale!!! Picked up Watch Dogs for $24, Got Sniper Elite 3 for $10, and got Trials with Season pass for $16. 3 games for $50 not bad! I had Watch Dogs and Sniper for my 360 but once I got my Xbox One I never looked back to my 360. As a matter of fact the kids got it!


Also Forza 5 at $30 but for $73 you can get Forza 5 and Forza Horizons 2 if your a Gold member.

Worms is a fun, casual game. I was a fan of the series a long way back when it was PC only.

Sniper Elite 3, 80% off, only $10??

That's a no-brainer. I came "this" close to buying it the other day.

And my wife thinks my procrastination never pays off! HA!

Downloading it now.

Thanks for the heads up, Magnum!

Alien Isolation is good. I stepped away from it for awhile but after reading up on some gameplay tips and strategies I understand better how to play it. If you like the Alien movies and that whole lore and atmosphere this game creates that spot on. Its great when you get to an area and actually feel safe again and able to relax a bit.

One of the best tips I got that actually helped was just go right up to the Alien and just get yourself killed its going to happen anyway. biggrin It doesn't rob the game of its creepiness but it sort helps you make peace with the fact that this is your nemesis and it helps believe it or not to get to know it better. It still can be very creepy but it becomes more like, "okay you pesky fool, you got me again but I'll beat you eventually."

Ah that's a good tip Coot, I'm going to do this a few times, hopefully that will help me relax a bit while playing.

The other tip that I read about that really helped me was to just walk. Moving while crouching is very slow. Its appropriate for certain things but many times this seemingly simple thing can get you killed. You don't make as much noise as you thing by just walking which is faster to get around. This is no exaggeration, but sometimes you can just straight up and walk passed the Alien when he is turned away from you or moves away from you. This has helped me many times get to where I needed to go. Many times I played and replayed a level because I simply waited around too long and moved too slow or was scared to move at all.

Also distractions are a life saver. Make noisemakers and pick up every flare you can find. Steer and send the Alien away from where you want to go. AND SAVE OFTEN!
