[QUOTE="SPYDER0416"]Nice!
I'm on the fence about Spec Ops since it would suck up like 1/5 of my Summer Sale budget I've made (I set aside $150 for Steam/Amazon sales), but I am REALLY interested in it and can't rent it until I'm back in my home country two months from now.
The Darkness II is more likely something I'm interested in, I played the hell out of the first on PS3 so I originally wanted II on PS3 as well (if at all considering the lukewarm reviews), but I guess switching platforms for a series I'm familiar with on another system isn't the worst thing in the world (though its not really something that benefits vastly on PC like other graphically demanding or more PC centric titles). Still, $13 seems a bit much for something I wanted to nab on Ebay for $5 at some point in the future.
Hmm, tough choices. Its too bad they won't put the first Condemned game up there, that stupid getgamesgo site won't let me buy it. I guess that might be my fault in something I did trying to buy it, but still, I REALLY want that game.

The Darkness 1 and 2 are totally different. I was somewhat disappointed with The Darkness 2. It's a solid game, but not great.Yeah that's why I'm reticent in picking it up. I loved, LOVED the first game, and it was a rough diamond overshadowed by a fantastic year of titles.
The second changed so much, and not necessarily for the better. The cel shading is neat, but makes the dark feel non existant while making lights harder to see and avoid, the weapon limitations are odd (since Jackie has access to a supernatural demon that apparently stored all his weapons for him last time), the linearity and short length I heard about really make me want to rent it a bit more then buy it (since the first was actually rather lengthy and open), and I don't think removing Kirk Acevedo as Jackie was a great decision, nor do I like that they seem to overdo the whole "he misses Jenny" thing that made the first so great.
But its a good price, and I've heard good things.
