It's quite different gameplay to what I imagined, but it looks great. Bastion and Transistor were both excellent in their own way, so this looks like another winner. Thanks for the detailed review Samsai.

Smoking too much weed has been attributed as a major factor leading to the writing of such articles, combined with the habit of viewing life through the base of a broken off Coca Cola bottle. The only known cure for this behaviour is to play 15 minutes of Half Life 2 on a Steam Machine, while standing on your head and drinking Pepsi. All is not lost.

The weather forecast in West Norwood for Tuesday is: Rather cloudy with showery outbreaks of rain developing, some heavier bursts possible, and probably becoming more organised into the evening.

Excellent! I've been waiting to buy Fall of the Samurai since giving Windows the boot. Shogun 2 is one of the Total War highlights for sure, and a very welcome addition to the Linux collection. Thank you Feral Interactive!

I've been playing this with a Steam Controller, and I've gotten as far as unlocking Professional level in the Championships. I'm not sure I'll get any further without a wheel though.

My favourite track is Pikes Peak - all gravel, sliding all the way - awesome stuff! ^_^
