We're another week into the 2024 Give-Away, and you know what that means! That's right! More caroling llamas! Their throats have cleared up and their ready to gallumph another song at you! [to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming To Town] You really should post You better not troll Just talk about games That is the goal Here at c-s-i-p-g-a Oh, talk about Doom Or maybe Half Life Civilization is great or that Indie game Strife Here at c-s-i-p-g-a We know what you've been playing You tell us once a month We'll know if the games are bad or good and that they're probably not good if they're new EA games You really should post You better not troll Just talk about games That is the goal Here at c-s-i-p-g-a! Here at the C.S.I.P.G.A!!!! Oh, that really was beautiful. And the way the spittle flew from the llamas' mouths; it was like a gorgeous snowfall. Truly, truly a Christmas miracle. I hope you all enjoyed it. Now for the games! * Styx: Master of Shadows https://store.steampowered.com/app/242640/Styx_Master_of_Shadows/ "Master of Shadows" is, as the name suggests, a stealth game; this one with a fantasy bent and some role-playing elements. AAXF6 Take on the role of the eponymous goblin Styx as you climb through the immense Tower of Akenash, sneaking and stealing and assassinating your way through a variety of missions.Z4I8E It's sort of a "Splinter Cell" crossed with D&D. It's notQIZ9D perfect (the controls feel about off) and could use a bit more variety, but overall a very fun game. Give it a try! * Styx: Shards of Darkness https://store.steampowered.com/app/355790/Styx_Shards_of_Darkness/ Styx is back with more shadowy antics. Keep to the shadows or die miserably. Overall, an improved sequel, with a PYFHX great stealth and a good sense of humor. Not so fond of the boss fights though (but I never am, really). But overall XN2X6 it's 'more of the same', which isn't that bad considering the first game was pretty good to begin with. WYRCE So, graced with two games, a song and plenty of llama spit, I think we'll call it a day. I mean, what more could you really want? I hope you had fun. We'll be back tomorrow for more games and nonsense! See ya! Ho-ho-ho!
