Cool. I don't really play PC Games (That's why I have a 360), but some of the games in there look interesting.

Nice! I was waiting this. :)

I also don't play much games on my pc, I prefer my PS3 for gaming.

The exception being RTS and FPS games.

To begin there aren't many good RTS games for consoles and shooters just don't work for me on a console.

I own COD4, the game is stunning, the game play is execellent but the actual shooting is rubbish. That and the online gameplay for it on the PS3 sucks. There are no servers, players host the games. This results in bad connections and "host ended game" about every 10 - 30 minutes.

That's why I still prefer Counterstrike Source (and Day of Defeat Source) on my PC.

note: anyone exited about Tekken 6? I just know I'm going to own. I have been undefeated in Tekken 5 for years (literally not a game lost in years).

Great! One place to easily try wide range of games.

Also it would make it possible to keep track of all the dependencies when you try the games as they will be in Synaptic history..

Now if only Synaptic history allow you to [Mark for removal]..

[mrgnash]

Nice :) Nexuiz, Alien Arena, and Gridwars are all quality games :)

Now if only Synaptic history allow you to [Mark for removal]..

I know! I'd like that too...

Just a small note, the updated apturl is needed. The version of apturl in 8.04 doesn't recognize the refresh flag which we need for the webpage (and coming RSS feed).

The getdeb repos don't work for me... Any of you having similar issues?

This is not the playdeb repo, but an unofficial getdeb one (unofficial from getdeb and ubuntu).

The getdeb repo isn't recognized nor by getdeb, and is unofficial. Getdeb recommends enabling hardy-backports if you need that repo.
