We have that (though I don't recall buying it). I didn't think it was multiplayer at all, but I'll check at some point soon and let you know. It's fun enough and probably worth a price that low. I haven't played it much...

The Talos Principle should still be on sale for $20 (down from like $50-60) until tomorrow.

It's very good. It unfolds kind of like Portal does, with discrete puzzle rooms that must be passed to progress, and a slowly unfolding backstory that comes out of direct narrative and dissonant things you find in the backstory. I don't want to say much else about that, but even if you're just playing it to rocket through the puzzles there's a lot of meat on this. Highly recommended.

Yeah I remember it being one of the main features, having two people pull around the chariot. Just not sure if it's online.

Picked up LittlebigPlanet 3 for $8. Does anyone else have this one? I enjoyed the first two.

I didn't realize it was on sale. I've not played the first two, but if it's still $8, I'll grab it.

It was cute as small addition way back in arcade games, eg the Die Hard arcade game where you had to press a button or take some damage, but I dislike that so many games have incorporated it into their mechanics so heavily. I'm not a fan, especially if I'm reading a story.

I like when they have alternate scenes for you failing all of them. It's better that way because you get to see humorous crap that happens when you intentionally blow it.

I played a lot of the first. Spent a lot of time in both the main story and editor mode. The second I liked as well, but didn't play as much. If this one has the same amount of content as the previous games it's definitely a steal for the price.

Worst chase ever

There's a pretty boss flash sale right now. Way too much to note here but lots of good games and good deals. I would like to note, though, that each of the three PS2 Fatal Frame games are 90% off.

I don't know if I would call Mega Man Legends 2 an RPG. It's more like a third person shooter.

Amazing game by the way. The only thing that sucks hard about it are underwater levels, one of which is optional.
