What? Don't give me that look! It looked fun!

Like Uncharted with likable characters. I totally feel you on this, Steve.

 

[Wok]

I'm even worse. I go through the Nvidia drivers and look at new 3D ratings. If something gets a good rating, I check it out. That's why TinTin got put on the radar. The Ubi store has had it for months, but meh to that.

Ubi may have plugged the hole by now, but as of the other day, you could add it your Uplay account for free (check the OP for the bat file particulars).

it's a 2d clunky platformer probably most comparable to something like prince of persia classic, only made for kids. i liked it. here's a review i did of it

In all honesty I'd just rather pay for it through steam than mess with the uplay client past hitting PLAY. I don't know if that makes me a fool with money or just lazy. Or both!

Just grabbed it, thanks.

What is going on in this thread?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

What is going on in this thread?

Rapturous excitement at being given the opportunity to buy old games at high prices with no intention of ever playing them. It's like the GOG thread got drunk and passed out on Garry's couch.

 

[1-D_FTW]

WTF? Is that widely known? Seems like a rather large oversight on UBI's part.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Further proof that they need more cd keys! Without them everyone gets the game for free!

Seems to work for Anno 2070 as well.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Seems to work for Anno 2070 as well.

Okay, now you're tempting me.

 

[Refreshment.01]

What was the necesity of stiring up shi!? Halo 3 on Steam, now i remember there's almost no possibility on getting this on PC.

 

[Blizzard]

Is it possible that Valve added some of these just to troll people who look at the registry?

That said, I don't think I have ever played a Halo game aside from briefly Halo 3 or 4 multiplayer, and I like the idea/story/world design, so I will probably grab any and all that show up for PC barring some sort of stupid DRM.

 

[JaseC]

Seems to work for Anno 2070 as well.

So it does! Cheers.

 

[Deadbeat]

Halo 3 with Master Chief helmet in TF2 would sell tons.

Tons.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[JaseC]

Okay, now you're tempting me.

Anno 2070 is on Steam, though. Pity Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery isn't listed.

This actually does sound pretty awesome. I have a small soft spot for Tin Tin (in fact, for lots of BDs) so I will check it out. I hope the PC version has local co-op so I can play it with my brother. Thanks for linking to your review.

 

[Tomodachi]

That's it then. Microsoft bought Valve.

Yes, that must be it.

 

[Tizoc]

Come on in fellas~

Also I liked Adventures of Tintin, was a really decent platformer.

 

[GAMERG0D]

and with the fact that MS owns Twisted Pixel and announced a PC port for (Ms.) Splosion Man and one of these new game hubs is for Lococycle (Twisted Pixel's next game)...

Wait really?

[RionaaM]

Some of the stuff is definitely legit.

For example:


So he's turned ValveTestApp226600 into Octodad Dadliest Catch Beta, so we click through the link:
http://cdr.xpaw.ru/app/225140/

Under "Admin Comment":


Open the image there, which is clearly from Octodad, and you get:
http://media.steampowered.com/steam.../228644c08ff24439d54f40b19d746fd67eb0e498.jpg

Which is hosted on Steam.


Or take Halo 3
http://cdr.xpaw.ru/app/216800/

You can actually click through to see the Steam community hub for the game:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/216800/
Steam Community: Halo 3


So unless they're making community hubs for non-Steam content, something is clearly going on.

I'll add that MS just put out a job posting for a producer at MGS and one of the job responsibilities was to evaluate and execute release strategies for alternate markets (example: STEAM)... and with CAPCOM giving up GFWL... and with the fact that MS owns Twisted Pixel and announced a PC port for (Ms.) Splosion Man and one of these new game hubs is for Lococycle (Twisted Pixel's next game)...

No Half-Life 3 Ricochet 2 hidden links or anything?

 

[Joe Molotov]

No Half-Life 3 Ricochet 2 hidden links or anything?

Steam Wallet Trading = Half-Life 3
Quantum Conundrum 2 = Portal 3

 

[RionaaM]

Ah, nice.

I spotted LibreOffice. And, yes, damn, Halo 1-2-3. On Steam?

Ok, first things first: remember the Amazon guy finally got that Microsoft Arcade Bundle approved so, who knows, right? Maybe it ends up being true. Still... Skepticism!

Uh, Angry Birds is in there too. Peter Jackson's King Kong. Anomaly Warzone Earth 2.

Well, god dammit, people, I'll spend the entire afternoon scanning this now! D:

edit: BIT.TRIP FLUX and FATE... Garage Inc.

Bit.Trip Flux! Now my life is complete. Thank you based Gaijin!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Steam Wallet Trading = Half-Life 3

[shintoki]

I'm liking this future with MS abandoning their own store and heading to Steam and the same with Capcom. I think I would rebuy the trilogy if they went to PC.

 

[Twinduct]

Maybe their padding the reglist with a bunch of fluff and making it seem legit, to try and hide the real entries. I mean we know that the reg list thing has been used before to 'reveal' entries and take away from an official announcement.

I don't know some of the crap in the list is just too damn fake.

 

[Firehead]

Huh... http://cdr.xpaw.ru/app/222180/ Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble? I thought they weren't going to do a sequel, due to how poor the first one did?

Hope Primus do the soundtrack for this one as well.

They announced Truffle Trouble at PAX last year
http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/24/mushroom-men-return-in-paxs-truffle-trouble/

it's a puzzle game, so a little cheaper to dev probably

 

[Blizzard]

Gabe is probably sitting in his office laughing at us right now.

I'm picturing a conference room at Valve somewhere, and they're like "What's another good one, how about Mirror's Edge 2? Quick, put it in the registry!" and then everyone just cracks up.

 

[RionaaM]

Steam Wallet Trading = Half-Life 3
Quantum Conundrum 2 = Portal 3

Oh fuck, imagine if what you are saying jokingly ends up being true. Nostradamus wouldn't hold a candle to you.

Oh please, I hope you're right.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Gabe is probably sitting in his office playing DOTA2 on a TV the size of the wall laughing at us right now.

T,FTFY

 

[GAMERG0D]

Surely Valve has noticed that the Halo 3 community page has been found by now

 

[Wok]

Oh fuck, imagine if what you are saying jokingly ends up being true. Nostradamus wouldn't hold a candle to you.

Oh please, I hope you're right.

I would rather suspect the ValveTestApps which have no name. I believe the next Valve game is hiding behind this app:

King of Fighters XIII

 

[Glass Rebel]

An EA game would be a dead giveaway that it's fake.

I love how they're just fucking us with those entries.

Ah, it looks like it might be interesting.

Also, Marble Blast Ultra!

 

[MRORANGE]

[Rickenslacker]

I must restrain my excitement in the case of a lot of these going into Steam registry limbo. No Spelunky yet though.

 

[zkylon]

Halo 3? C'mon...

 

[toddhunter]

They could at least throw in some EA games to really stir the pot
