Why does everybody hate Sanctum?

Because it's bad!
(I just couldn't get into it and they started the nickel and diming DLC thing to boot).

It's really... laggy. Not sure why, but it is super sluggish.

Not for me. Then again, I automatically change most games that may or may not be recent's settings to low graphics (and to minimize shadows if at all possible). Works fine.

Well to be fair when you have a gaming computer crafted by the Greek Pantheon, officially estimated at near-human self awareness, one generally finds it strange to have to turn down a whole bunch of settings when the computer in question laughs at the recommended settings.
Even more so when it's built off an extremely popular and up-to-date engine like Unreal.

That said I never got any slow downs that I can remember, so I can't bitch about that. The game did seem to be rather floaty and slow-paced, something you generally want to avoid in an "action tower defense game". I personally think going for map-packs in a co-op focused game is suicide, better to release a whole bunch of content in expansion packs so your multiplayer core isn't so divided. I never actually understood map-packs in any MP game.
I think the other problem with Sanctum is that it launched at what seemed like a bad time. There was a whole bunch of TDs on the market place, like the wonderful Orcs Must Die, Defence Grid and Dungeon Defenders. Dungeon Defenders already had a large fan-based due to it already being on mobile platforms.

Just Cause 2 with all DLC is ~$6. Lowest it will be for a long while. It's a fun game to do stupid shit.

Because I already own it...

[Shadowlord]

God damn it, I wanted Krater for the Community Choice...
DAMN YOU IF YOU CHOSE SANCTUM

I chose it, and then didn't buy it. Naturally, I can't be the only person to have chosen it because I didn't want either of the others, and then realized I had no really compelling reason to buy Sanctum either (Tower defense? Never fun. Watched the videos, how is that fun? Like shooting fish in a barrel...).

Also, why are they selling map packs? This isn't XBox Live. What's up with that?

Should I buy Bioshock and Bioshock 2 or just the first one? Is the second one really so much worse?

I enjoyed both of them but YMMV. Its fun being a big daddy.

[Digital Hellhound]

The second one is not as good as the first, but it's alright. It's just so unbearably short and not that memorable plot-wise. From what I remember, though, the multiplayer was fairly fun.

Currently deciding between Just Cause 2 and eating this week.

There's really no choice here, Just Cause 2 is ridiculous fun. Nothing is cooler than jumping out of a plane, freefalling a thousand feet and landing safely by grappling onto a truck, kicking out the driver and taking the wheel, getting it up to a good speed, leaping out onto the top, shooting up a government jeep, grappling a helicoptor, shooting the gunner and kicking out the pilot, using it to blow up a fuel depot, then jumping out as it crashes into a radar dish and grappling onto... you see where this is going.

[Fishbreath]

I think you just sold me on it.

Perhaps a bit late, but I enjoyed both as well. 2 was shorter and it lacked the impact you got from 1, just because you've been here before, but I found it more than worth a playthrough in its own right. I found it MUCH easier to hate 2's villain than 1's.

Agreed. Buy it.

It's 50% for an individual game but 66% for the pack.

But the best part? If you already own one of the games, you can still buy the bundle and they'll subtract the price of the game that you already own, while still applying the 66% off instead of the 50% off!
