For those who are interested 'up to 75%' off some games at GOG:-http://www.gog.com/ I picked up back to the future for less than $5 (about £3.20).

Jesus christ. I promised myself no more games until the Steam Sale / Xmas. I've purchased Bioforge at the start of the week (a fucking loveable classic, but only if you played the original. Nostalgia is a powerful tool but this looks awful now. You've been warned)

And now, I'm buying the Medal of Honour Allied War Chest.

Far Cry 3 and XCOM for Xmas.

I love being a gamer.

3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 pre loaded and when you register the system to club nintendo you get a download code for Mario 3D Land (or one of 4 others)

Seems like a valid way to spend £190

Where is Under Defeat HD? I was looking for it on PSN but couldn't find it.

If only Journey became giftable.
I'd have much preferred both for £4.50 each.

It would be so great if PSN & LIVE offered the Steam model (even WiiWare/VC allows gifting)!

Yep, especially when people have been asking for that feature for years. Infrastructure has been there, just never implemented.

I was thinking about that recently and I think it would be a bad idea unless they had some parameters locked in on it. Having accounts hacked is bad enough as it is without dangling another carrot in front of the faces.

Bastion is available on the iOS for the kingly sum of 69p. Never played it on the psn/arcade, is it worth picking up on the iOS? I imagine the controls and the Ui being a problem. I refuse to buy it if playing it for 20 minutes leaves me with rigor mortis hands and Swiss-army-fingers as some other ports have.

Couldn't imagine playing it on iOS to be honest it's a tough twin stick game.

The iOS version has 94% on metacritic. I'd assume most people reviewing iOS games have a high tolerance for touch screen controls but with 94% I'd guess they're well implemented.

My interest was certainly peaked having listened to the podcast. I suppose the question is, is the game worth suffering through potentially crippling controllers. And will the cost of ibriprofen for my ruined hands exceed the 69p I payed for the game?

Surely it's worth the gamble?
