Nope, Devs profit from it as well.
Daikatana was just copy-pasted over from GOG. It's not, even loosely speaking, a new release; if the game had released on Steam first, though, it may have received cards.
I was hoping that these recent classic Eidos releases would prompt some card additions, which would make them go back and add them to Deus Ex. All these cards on Steam and most of the games I want don't get 'em.
Wow BF4 is still a total piece of shit just like 3, even after I went into the settings to unbind right click so I wouldn't be tempted to aim down sights.
looks like we've found a bad rats replacement
(SA gave the demo -33/-50 back in the day:

)
No worries.
This leaves:
- Anachronox
- Gangsters: Organised Crime
- Pandemonium! and Pandemonium! 2
- Startopia
Just finished up with Escape Goat after 98 minutes. It isn't a new game, but I saw only:
and thought I'd share some thoughts because I really enjoyed it.
I had low expectations going into it, because I'm not a huge puzzle game fan and it looked like the solutions would quickly get out of hand and become too fiddly. I was happy to find out this wasn't the case.
All the puzzles tended to be pretty straight-forward with few options and a lack of aimless trial and error to work them out. Typically you'll try a switch once, see what happens and can work things out quickly from there. The mechanics are introduced logically and you don't get a constant supply of them. Occasionally you'll get a new block type to deal with, but by and large you build your skills and then apply them in increasingly complicated ways.
What this means is you will always make progress and will never feel stuck. On the other hand, it also means you'll blow through it in an hour and a half. Personally, I really like puzzle games that are actually short and beatable so it was perfect for my tastes.
The controls are extremely tight with flexible double jump and dash mechanics to get you around. Similarly your little offsider behaves just as you would expect it to do so, which means frustration never becomes an issue when implementing your plans.
The graphics are functional, without doing anything special. The music on the other-hand is excellent.
I'd link to the store page...but there doesn't seem to be one..nor any other sign of the game on steam (removed?). Pick it up if you see a bundle floating around or play at http://www.playescapegoat.com.
In all seriousness I would much rather play Bad Rats and it's not even close. I had a look at the Steam page for the game and it looks truly awful.
I love it, even though the graphics are very simple I think they have great atmosphere.. and the music is amazing!
I know that the game is old news, but really, every puzzle platforming game should have a rewind option like Toki Tori does. Every last one of them.

man I'm looking through old CGW mags (http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=0&pub=0&id=500) and so much nostalgia. Remember Kiss Psycho Circus?
Yeah, it's a really fantastic implementation of it. I think more games in general should have a rewind feature.

If you're planning on doing a boss run and you already found the boss door on the previous run, just use the Architect before entering the castle, then warp directly to the boss door.
oh man Motocross Madness 2! that game ruled. Midtown Madness 1 and 2 were so awesome too, playing cops and robbers online was so damn cool
Is Renegade Ops worth it? It looks really fun! Anyone up for a 4-pack?

Blur.
I have a copy to spare I can send you if you want?
Keyboard controls last time I tried (years ago) were horrible so you should only get this if you have a controller.

If anyone cares, the Steamkeys for Bunny Must die are online at the back to school Bundle page from Indie Royale.
I never played this, but I have a sick curiosity about it. But I don't want to become John Romero's bitch.A wild Daikatana appears! http://store.steampowered.com/app/242980/
Fuck yeah! The Motocross Madness games have the only good use of invisible walls I've seen. And the Midtown Madness ones are among my favorite racing games ever. So much time was wasted cruising down Chicago and San Francisco (never cared much for London).oh man Motocross Madness 2! that game ruled.

Yooooou have becooooome comfortably numb!Finally back home did I miss anything? It seems some people are enjoying BF4 Beta, need to check some streams or videos.
I'm completely numb from the chin to my left ear and I'm starving, 2nd surgery was worse, I want to be able to eat but right now is impossible./rant

There's no price on Steam AU just yet but it's $70 over at GMG. Woo!
Daikatana is objectively the better game with better AI.
