This is a game in which you play one section as a toilet. Not making that up. It has a bonus mode called “Whored Mode” (because how could they resist that pun) in which you take on waves of enemies with certain weapons, including heavily armed sentient question marks. You can drive tanks from videogames in the real world – their explosions are in cubes. Yes. And rather importantly, I’m keen to play it through again, to see what happens if I make different choices at key moments.

From the feedback I've seen, it's Just Cause 2 with the ridiculousness amped up

...alright, you saying that makes me want it finally

JC2 is still the best game I've ever played!

I'll wait though, I've got absurd amounts of new games atm.

Portal 2, Hard Reset, Dirt 3 on the latest Steam sale...

still playing The Run and Battleforge off and on...

...Arkham City and Skyrim too...

Well, it doesn't have the magical grapple and infinite parachutes, but you can:

- hijack whatever vehicle you want
- beat up on characters wearing mascot costumes
- repeat the above using a giant phallus substitute

Plus lots of other moments that made me giggle, but I won't spoil for you. The soundtrack is excellent too

I was disappointed in SR1 (way too glitchy) and SR2 (PC version didn't work worth s***)

sounds like 3 has neither issue o.o considering Red Faction: Armageddon was great I'm sure it will be too but I'm still wary

Just picked up Alice: Madness Returns too. Damn. This sale is eating my brain.

I'm only about 8 hours into the game, but it seems to be running great - and I'm not even using the latest drivers (currently on 11.9).

[Seawolf]

As I said RF:A was beautifully done, and it was their first PC game done in house. I'd expect SR3 to be just as good (or better.)

[thegrommit]

I just finished a mission that included driving a tiger around in a convertible

[thegrommit]

Finished both alternate endings - much more satisfying than DX:HR

Anyone who wants to laugh while they're gaming should buy this.

First of three new DLC: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01 ... l-vii-dlc/

I'm tempted to just pay for the Season Pass to get all three considering how much fun the "base" game was.

Also, you do get infinite parachutes, but the opportunities to use them aren't quite as great as JC2.
