Hmm, will Angry Birds be the first 99¢ Steam games?

I don't think they've allowed it yet, but there are plenty of shit games on the service as it is, one more isn't gonna tip the balance.

Good game. Well worth my hard earned Washington.
Anyone see this:
Buy Ubisoft WWII Collection-
Not a bad deal for $34, wonder if it will get any cheaper, though?
Princess Skittles said:
I know there are quite a few cheap iPhone games with much more expensive Steam versions. Flight Control is $.99 on iPhone but 5 dollars on PC for example. I wouldn't necessarily be shocked if Angry Birds was five dollars too.
Edit: But no game will match the value of PB Winterbottom for $.50 during the Holiday sale.

Bought The Forgotten Sands.
Game wants me to login (presumably to uPlay?) to play the game. Says my username is taken so I can't register, but none of the passwords I've ever used works with the username.
The only email address I've used that works with the forgot password form is my old university email, and the username associated with that is apparently ubisoft_stinks which I guess means I wasn't very happy with them when I was forced to register for the last bullshit I played by them.
When I sign into that account, it has no past uPlay history, which means it's evidently not the account I used with them before.
Is it possible to reset password by username rather than by email address, or alternatively look up the account information associated with the uPlay account I use on my 360? If not I guess I'll use that ubisoft_stinks account and just not use uPlay. *shakes head*

Can't wait for Angry Birds. Best game in years.

Yeah, it's easily one of my top five games of this year so far.

Launched game. 360 controller worked. Went into options menu. Backed out to main menu; suddenly the 360 controller, mouse, and keyboard all didn't work. Tried alt-tabbing out and back, black screen.
Task manager, killed process, re-launch, won't relaunch because "process was unavailable".
Relaunching again. Took about 30 seconds for the Ubisoft launcher to "check for updates".
Controller, mouse, and keyboard all do nothing. Desyncing controller and trying again.
Edit: Stuff worked this time, but stopped working when I closed the Steam CD Key message, so looks like it might be a problem with the Steam overlay?

I am so glad that I didn't buy the PoP bundle for Forgotten Sands, it sounds like a disaster Stump.

I sometimes get the bolded with The Witcher EE on Steam. Whenever I closed the CD Key prompt, my pointer would stop showing.Stumpokapow said:

I enjoyed the hell out of the actual game part of POP Forgotten Sands. It looks quite stunning on PC at 1080p/60 fps and the platforming (which is the dominant part of the game) is quite good.

Hmmm.. it seems any form of AA in Mini Ninjas turns everything into a weird shadow world. I seriously might just break down and go nVidia for my next graphics card. Of course, if brands continue their form factor trends, those will be the only ones that fit in my case anyway.

Disabling the overlay fixed the controller problem. Game looks crisp and runs at something approximating 60fps on "High" settings (you can only choose low/medium/high) on my modest old rig with AA.
Definitely not alt-tab friendly though.

Settlers 75% Day, plz.
Seriously, Gemini Rue is delicious, delicious candy for anyone who grew up on Sierra/Lucasarts p&c adventures. There are dozens and dozens of games on steam at this very minute that have far lower production values. The idea that it is somehow not good enough for Steam is laughable.
Something really does not compute here.

I wonder if they'll let me bite on the Assassins Creed series with a good enough price.
Its pretty much the only game i openly despise here on GAF, having only tried the first one, hating it, and then continuing to see how Ubisoft milks the franchise to death.
Unlike most "haters", im open to give it another opportunity, so we'll see.

By series you mean the second Assassin's Creed? Because Brotherhood is excluded from this sale, along with Il2-Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover.

This seems pretty spot on, but I would probably put all the Tom Clancy games under one day and make room for a Far Cry day.
I'm honestly hoping for a Misc. day that might have Beyond Good and Evil on sale, as well as Trackmania.

It's not part of the 33% off weeklong sale, but there's still a chance it might be a Daily Deal (probably at 25% off).

Picked up Prince of Persia (2008), Mini Ninjas, and Assassin's Creed. Probably a waste on Assassin's Creed since I already own it on 360 and PS3 but I never finished the game and own the rest of the series on PC...

Man, a whole week of Ubisoft deals? I might actually buy something if they weren't the second biggest assholes in video game publishing.
It's too bad, I hear those AssCreed games are pretty good.

I kinda want to get Forgotten Sands since I already have the PoP Sands Trilogy and I've played/beaten PoP2k8 already.
I may regret this, but why are Ubisoft the second biggest assholes in video game publishing?MacGurcules said:

For what it's worth, I think AC1 is the worst game I have ever actually beat, but AC2 is good from what I've played (slow start though).SalsaShark said:

LOL, Mini Ninjas doesn't even run, it crashes on the loading screen. Thankfully I decided to try the demo before buying so I didn't end up wasting $6.80 on the full game. Still it's pretty sad that publishers don't even put in the effort to make sure their PC games at least FUNCTION properly.

Some people would say "wouldn't having mid-week sales, week-end sales, and publisher weeks be redundant after having daily deals?"
There can always be more sales!

Competing as a professional rally star youll enjoy intense racing across three continents from the forests of Michigan to the infamous roads of Finland and the national parks of Kenya.

Yeah, it's $6.80 in the US. He may have got the price wrong, since he can't get the game to run either.
