Are you actually playing it, or just staring at her... umm... equipment?

Playing it. She's nowhere near as enhanced as last games. Very realistic girl with a very realistic response to the world around her. Quite refreshing.

Yeah - I love the game. I think this might be the first time that I've actually felt bad about letting a protagonist die - her death animations and cries actually make me feel for her.
The developers did a great job with her facial animations. She doesn't have the devil-may-care attitude that she used to - instead, she acts like a real person who's scared, but forces herself to go on because of her loyalty to her friends. Her body is realistically proportioned instead of a ridiculous caricature of femininity.
The level design is good too - big enough that it feels open, but limited enough that you can explore each area completely without wasting time.

Done. Yeah D I feel the same way about the Tomb Raider game. Much more mature, but it's a little too bloody for me. The level of gore and bloody combat really detracts from Laura's maturity and acceptance as a strong female lead character. We haven't seen the likes of her since Kate Archer. *** Holy cats that was a beautiful game. Frustrating end boss but not impossible. I finished it 100% completion on hard. Yay! No way I could have done that on console. Headshots are a life saver. My hands were shaking when I was done. Brilliant game, amazing graphics, sweet character, very very nice. For an action/adventure game this blows that Uncharted crap out of the water.

Empire at War? That's the only strategy game I see there. Can't think of any other Star Wars strategy games besides that off the top of my head, either.
Force Unleashed is good, though not quite as good as KOTOR, IMHO. A little more arcadey and less RPG. Though still good. I've got both 1 and 2 for Xbox.
Some really nice deals there! If only I had a new PC, I'd load up on the ones I don't already have.

yea Empire at War. Land battles suck its all about the space battles. I watched my buddy play one where he was Darth Vader and it looked awesome. No idea what it was, it was on the 360 so maybe unleashed...

GOG doing it's Woot-style sale (X amount available at a big discount, when they're gone, they're gone and they move on to the next game) with some free games thrown in!
