Can someone for europe gift me the dreamcast collection and I'll paypal them? Steam keeps telling me it can't complete the transaction for some reason.

I didn't had any problem with zavvi shipping (yet), price is too good, I think I'm gonna risk it again.
If only they e-mailed me the cdkey too.
By the way, for cdkeys I use http://www.g2play.net/store/ , me and a couple of friends have bought there games and never had any problem with Steam. I bought the first L4D when it was released and Valve never did anything to my account.

I've been trying and trying using romans but I get wiped out after around the 13-14 hours mark...
I might try your approach with india, though a 2 city society doesn't really appeal me :/

The happiness of the populace is what my entire game revolves around. A happy populace is a productive and growing one that allows you to build Wonders, buildings and units (if you need any) quickly as well as develop a strong economy. Also I've been leaning on the Rationalism policy track in the higher difficulty levels, India's consistent happiness plus the second tier policies where happiness adds to your overall science productivity and education institutions contributes to your happiness has been my core strategy.
In the lower difficulties I typically have five, maybe six cities spread a fair distance apart. The first four policies I unlock are the Tradition (to grow my borders quickly) and Liberty policy tracks, with the next two points going towards unlocking citizens and workers (whichever I need first) allows me to occupy a fairly large part of a continent, if not all of one. I struggle with that many cities in Immortal.
Push comes to shove, I've grind an opposing Civ to dust and capture their entire empire if I can, I've even liberated civs I saw as allies (didn't know you could do that until recently) but in the higher difficulties I'm finding conflict to be the less desirable path. I'd rather hunker down with a smaller advanced army than try to go toe-to-toe with all of the other civs massive caveman tech armies.

I'm trying to re-install Saints Row 2 to play co-op with the girlfriend and it won't let me change the resolution to 1080P without crashing. I've beat the game before with the same settings so this is pretty irritating. Always knew it was a bad port but I didn't run into many issues the first time around. Are there any launch options that I can put in Steam so it would change the resolution before it launches?

Yes. Cozy little platformer. 3-5 hours. If you like cozy little platformers; get it.Sophuis said:

I'm back and forth on it. It looks great and having a PC game with local co-op is wonderful. On the downside I found that actual gameplay to be quite rote. I actually stopped about 70% done or so as I felt that I was just doing the same things over and over again. The combat was simple and never really progressed, and the puzzles were pretty insultingly simple all the way through the game, the only issue was trying to get the occasionally wonky physics system to do what you wanted it to do.

I found the game to be great fun until the last couple of levels where it goes from Puzzle/Platform to "kill kill kill" because the game decides to fill the levels with tons of enemies. I still don't think I've finished it because I just can't work up the will to slog through the final levels.
It also has some balance issues. Until the end you basically should never bother using the Knight. The Thief has better damage output for the majority of the game.
Oh and the Wizard can be kind of frustrating at times since the game has trouble recognizing shapes.
edit:
I said it was worth 5 dollars. Apparently I got it for 1.99 and not 5 dollars. Yeah, I take back my prior statement. Wait for $2.50 or less.

I got bored of it pretty quickly. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends for $5 but I'm sure many people would. If it was $2.50 I'd tell my friends it's worth that price. But that's just the amount of time I personally have put into it.
Trine really does get pretty annoying the farther in you get. The designers apparently think since enemies are not challenging or interesting to fight, the best way to make their crappy combat system better is to have them keep respawning over and over and over and over. The most humor I took from the game was laughing after thinking "this must be the last guy" to only have another 5 spawn after him.
The game gets a lot of leniency because it is so gorgeous. Great music,levels and overall production though. I'd say wait for $2.50 or less. And if I were to replay it again I'd probably go for the easiest level possible in the hopes that would mean less enemies spawn (not because they're ever difficult, just boring.)

Yeah those last couple of levels are so annoying, but the ones before that are fairly relaxing and beautiful.

Yeah, the respawning enemies are a bitch. Still, I played like one level a day and enjoyed it throughout. Might get frustrating if I would've played any more than that in one sitting.

Not only is Trine a great physics based platformer, it has one of the best showcases of 3D I've seen in a game thus far (using 3D Vision).

On a side note. I bought Deus Ex cdkey off ebay today for $21. Is it ok to share the link here ? saw people post cdkey sites earlier (thanks Clovingsteam, got Dead island of that site for $27)and this is the cheapest I have seen it yet.
