Today in "Valve owns my soul" is a free-to-play weekend of Sniper Elite 3. I've done the first few missions and this game scratches all my "I feel like shooting Nazis" itches. Basically, you wander around northern Africa, shooting Nazis with a rifle or a pistol, and sometimes you set traps and let Nazis blow themselves up, and sometimes you just set something on fire.. No stupid AI teammates (in the first few missions, at least), no giant robot enemies requiring many shots from a rocket launcher (in the first few missions, at least), just some sneaking, some hiding, some tactics, and some Nazis to shoot in their stupid Nazi faces.

Free to play until tomorrow, 80% off (meaning, $11 Canadian) until Monday afternoon, DEFINITELY worth checking out if you like tactical/shooting games. And, hey, if you do get it, there's a co-op mode and I will 100% play some co-op with people who also want to shoot Nazis.

I finished the single-player campaign today (It's short, but hey, $10 game, and there's a bunch of bonus levels and other play modes I haven't started yet) and yeah, it's pretty much the same game all the way through. I look forward to redoing the main campaign on the higher difficulties - the modes where you can't tag targets and have no minimap and don't get HUD warnings on detection are fun, just INCREDIBLY HARD so I turned those off at first.

Are you on my steam friends list? I totally want to try the co-op stuff.
