ASUS has a fan control program, but I personally would just get an external fan controller. I use an AeroCool one that I got for, I think $25. Works amazingly well. This one

I enjoyed Asylum the most myself. It was a focused, Metroidvania experience and had the best story of any of them by far. City is great and if you prefer open world games, I'd go with it first. Origins is pretty much the exact same as City, but prettier and with a more focused story.

No, just the Gamespy servers shut down. There's still quite a few private servers. Overall, it's been a pretty pleasant experience. I can usually find a game or two, and more during peak hours; I haven't noticed any lag. It's weird going back to the game though--just odd playing a shooter with so little weapon feedback. Still fun, but just something I noticed was odd.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (just picked it up--66% off atm)

Thief: The Dark Project

I don't really get the point of even having a batmobile in the game. It seems a hell of a lot easier to get around by flying/grappling, then driving through streets and such.

Most played: Chivalry Medieval Warfare (~242hrs)

Favorite: hmm...probably Torchlight 2 or FTL

You're basing this on...what, the big "AAA" games being released by major publishers? Or are you referring to the entire industry?

Papers Please, FTL, Quadrilateral Cowboy, Chivalry Medieval Warfare, Natural Selection 2, etc etc--all very unique games with innovative mechanics
