Can someone tell me how you get all 74 vehicles in FUEL? I have collected all 216 career stars and bought every vehicle available, but there are only 61.
According to Google, the only way to unlock vehicles is by winning career races. Well, I've won them all, so what gives?

Damn,

Battlefield 3 $36, Premium ed $42
Black Ops $17
Modern Warfare 3 for $35
Deus Ex: HR for $26
Dead Island $28
Fear 3 $18.50
Crysis 2 $22
Hot Pursuit $16
Ass Creed Brotherhood: $20

Those are some great prices. Is there a downside to this?

Ass Creed Bro would require you to download a copy of the game somehow (probably illegally) to use the CD key since it will not register on Steam or Origin.

For just general discussion about sites like this, see this thread.

Is Space Marine Steamworks? Might pick it up if that's the case. Found the demo enjoyable.

if it's made by THQ it's most likely going to be a steamworks game.

some forum members stated they had no problems in using this site, I would ask steam support to ask if there a legit authorised reseller and if there keys are not region locked.

I was going to buy Black Ops on intkeys. SInce its the german version and according to the site I need a vpn. But they say they take care of the problem and I was cool with that and wondered how they were gonna do it until:

Depending on the region the key is sourced from, it may be region-locked for activation purposes. IntKeys say they'll activate the game on your behalf if you bequeath them your log-in details, but I wouldn't recommend that. Your only other option, if you wish to make use of the key, is to activate the game via a VPN, otherwise you can request a refund. (Edit: Haha, I see you've discovered this for yourself.)

Alternatively, you can try CJS, who do a good job of mentioning any activation restrictions of their keys. I purchased my DE: HR key from these fellas and while they took a few days to fulfil all the orders, I had no trouble activating it.

Yeah, games without a dedicated online service backbone such as Steam or Origin will require you to obtain the game yourself.

You could always make a new Steam account and have them activate it there.

Fact is, they're not interested in stealing your $5000 Steam account, since it has a market value of basically zero, and their business, however shady-seeming, is worth something.

It's a bad dungeon siege game, but a decent action rpg. Even at max everything the graphics are kind of flat, the characters are flat, and nothing really stands out. It's like Obsidian went "we're not going to innovate anything, this time it's by the book to the letter!" and they somehow made a competent but ultimately boring game.

Did you play it in co-op?

I found the start of the game boring when I started it solo and then when I started co-op with a friend it ended up being a total blast. The last third of the game was sick.

I would still rather not take those chances.

I bought Blops on intkeys a while back, used a dummy steam account and they didn't seem to hijack it. That would be your best bet if you were to do it.

I guess you have nothing to lose if you use a dummy Steam account

But still, it's super fishy.

I noticed GetGames has the Settlers 7 Deluxe Gold Edition for £9.99 - I'm guessing it's not likely to go on sale on Steam before the holiday sale?

It has an equal chance of being a Daily Deal as anything else.

But did Black Ops activate on the dummy account or did they send you a key so you could activate it on the real one?

I'm guessing dummy account, I think they either use vpn's or located in the region which the game can be bought.

All these companies sell Russian CD-Keys, and need to be activated via VPN or within Russia. I did it a couple if times, in Poland there are a few trusted key resellers, so most of the time it's no problem to give them your Steam account details. However I wouldn't trust just random company with that.

The keys are Eastern European (the particular country of origin varies) and only some require regional activation. For example, the DE:HR key I bought from IntKeys was a region-locked Latvian key, and when I received my refund I bought a region-free key from CJS.

Edit: Clarity.

Been waiting for cheapo Velvet Assassin. I was always interested in the game, but it kind of got a bit punished by reviews. For that price though I'm willing to see if I'll enjoy. :)

Uh, some real well-known german voice-actors in that game. I'm impressed. Carek said it's not a good game, though, so I probably won't buy it.



Then again, 2,50 Euros... D:
