Is it bad that I laughed, but read the top version anyway, then saw the bottom one?

I started playing Amnesia The Dark Descent and Brutal Sports Football, both of which have pleasantly surprised me.

Amnesia's voice acting and atmosphere are already excellent, and though I haven't yet been frightened for any reason, I can see the game building up to some nice scares.

Brutal Sports Football is not actually an American football game, it is more like soccer played with hands. I expected something in the vein of Mutant League Football since both feature teams of monsters, demons, etc. - but the similarities stop there.

The game is awesome: I have won 4 out of 4 matches so far, one of which I was losing by a large margin in points but came back to win by decapitating the entire opposing team. There's lots of blood and carnage, and it plays like an arcade title instead of a sim. If you have a Jag, it is worth checking out. I intend to play through a season, as each game is only 10 minutes long or so.

Awesome. That's one I've wanted to try too. Isn't it just HOTD1 or HOTD2 with kb "controls"?

Also, the fact that you are using a keyboard is further evidence that you want to get into PC gaming.

it's HOTD2 with keyboard controls. And it's amazing. And proof that I don't need a PC when games like this exist on consoles.
