Hah, got into the Mechwarrior Online beta without paying... just had to register on about 4 different sites until I got a beta key that worked.
Now to download and mechagasm to the max.
EDIT:
For those interested, Tentonhammer still has keys left over and they work.

OH MY GOD.
MECHWARRIOR ONLINE IS ****ING AWESOME.
My mechagasm is off the charts. It really captures the feeling of piloting a ****ing huge-ass robot really well.
There's an initial grind that really sucks when you just have the trial mechs that you can't modify, but once you buy your first mech and personalize it... just wow.
I pilot a medium class Hunchback mech (classes are light, medium, heavy, assault in order of weight) that's been outfitted with 9 (!) small lasers that I fire in alpha strike whenever I get within 90m.
I basically release a disco of doom from every part of my body.
In a game where 70% of people play sniper builds that destroy anything within 800m, getting into 90m requires a bit of patience.
Especially so considering my mech is outfitted with an Extra-Light engine so I can go super fast (81 km/h is blazing fast considering what firepower I'm packing) and mount even moar lazors, but blow up quite easily.
So what I do is I wait... I wait until the firing off long distance missiles has stopped, the sound of 1km gauss rifle fire has silenced... and the heavy assault mechs move in to battle at knife fight distance with each other.
Then when the heavy-as-****-dudes are duking it out I run up and blow their most important part off with 9 lasers firing at one point.
I then run for cover again and repeat, hit and run.
I've gotten 5 kills in a match with 8 enemies with this mech. It's an opportunistic assassin robot with the speed of a scout that appears from nowhere and ruins your day. I love it.

Some screenies of my last game ^^
My disco ball of a mech at the garage.
Yay for cockpit. You can also see my extremely diverse weapons loadout. Click mouse to FIRE ALL DA LAZORS.
Oh hai there mr Catapult.
This guy ended up with no arms and both his shoulders blown off. He has no weapons left, he's just legs ^^ At best he can tackle someone and have his teammates take them out.

Switched out the small lasers on my arms for medium lasers... more flexible range... so now I've got 7 SMs and 2 MLs.
I love it when the heavy mechs ignore me and don't consider me a threat as I move up behind them and unleash everything I've got into their spine. Their armor is butter before my might.
Anyway, just bought Dishonored. My body is ready.

Download is at 40% and counting...
It has MAD reviews at least. Like, over the top positive.
Hell Dark Messiah got average reviews and I loved the **** out of that one.
This'll be gorgeous.

Just throwing it out there, you get different endings depending on your choices THROUGHOUT the game.

Yeah likely the basic "did you kill everyone Yes/No?" thingy.
Going non-lethal looks a bit lame though, much more variety when you just stop caring about your enemy's fate ^^

I just played and finished the original Portal. I know, I know, old game, but never could get it to run without crashing on my old computer. Anyway, I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Eagerly looking forward to playing Portal 2. In about five minutes.

Earth 2140, the game has managed to surprise me positively a dozen times already, didn't remember it was this advanced.
Infantry can move through thick woods while mechanised can't.
Flames are not just for show, ground does catch fire and fiery areas do damage.
Aerial units actually do bombing dives.
Unit's combat AI is impressive.
Infantry actually captures buildings and the enemy infantry defends them. You can garrison more or less units if you wish.
Amphibian transports can transport only one vehicle+numerous infantry, the said vehicle can shoot while on board!
Pathfinding doesn't get units stuck.
We have waves.
Buildings are just TOO BIG/maps too small and full of obstacles.
Pathfinding is inefficient and slow.

Bought Chivalry: Medieval Warfare on a whim.
First impression is ****y. Blocking feels inconsistent as ****, everyone just playing the heaviest class and spamming two handers. Reminds me of M&B in a way.
I don't see the tactics to be honest. Feels like I wasted my money.

Trying to make a beach landing in E2140 is probably the most frustrating thing you attempt to do in any game 
The pathfinding of the game was downright terrible.

But unlike in so many others the units don't get stuck at random places when there's a cliff they need to go round. That's a definite plus.
Too bad the game is just outright boring after a few maps. There's nothing new or interesting in the mission design. It's just wipe em on a different square. There's no real challenge, tactics wise.

Agreed. Not to mention that the amount of pre-built infrastructure the AI has in each mission means several hours of boredom at worst
Plus the atrocious mission pack 2. Lol  ED at least got the most broken unit ever (Nemezis bomber), but UCS sucks. The only reason to play them is the Bigmech unit, which is about as good as the ion tank in 1v1 (but more expensive and available later)

Ok so Chivalry is not so bad.
2-hand-spammers still top the scoreboards but that's just because spamming a maul is an awesome way of killing noobs, and this game is full of noobs.
Soloing a maul-knight with a butterknife is insanely fun. Get in their face and give them a stab every time they try to strike, you'll interrupt them immediately since they're so slow and don't have the intelligence to use block.
Compared to Mount & Blade playing archer feels much more challenging: you're really vulnerable unless you know what you're doing.
