Yes, it's fantastic.
It's probably my favorite Sonic. Definitely worth the $2, yeah.
Play it with the JPN soundtrack though. It's hype as hell, way better than what we ended up with.

Yeah, I use zDoom but when I last tried it I was able to spoof the Steam .exe fine and still play through Steam. I think someone said they messed it up now though.
Still, the benefits of zDoom with or without Steam spoofing outweigh the benefits of Doom 2 XBLA.

You can get it for $2.00 if you use this code: GMG20-AWDF9-Q1PEY
Edit: Oh wait both coupons do the same thing.
Damn, another game that will get added to my already big backlog. I'll buy it tonight.

Another shout-out for Sonic CD - it's a considered and very rewarding experience if you allow it to be.
Apparently GMG purchased exclusivity for it.
Ugh. Should I, GAF? I'd already ruled out playing this since I wanted to spend my money on Torchlight 2 and Borderlands 2 next...

Yes because Big Bomain is worth it. Great game.

It's the greatest game ever made.
Or at least the greatest 3rd person shooter about robots to come out of Japan this year.

I've heard very mixed reactions as well.
What have you guys heard? Cause it look awesome?
Is it just some button masher that locks you into rooms to fight mind-numbingly repetitive battles? Cause I hate those type of games.
I had the impression it was Metroid-esque in gameplay design, but coupled with incredible visuals.

Taking a quick look at metacritic it seems it's a divisive game instead of a bad one. I watched Giant Bomb's quick look and I liked what I saw, so that's enough for me to purchase the game. I don't trust written reviews of indie games unless they are made by RockPaperShotgun, lots of indie games I like were unfairly criticized in written reviews.

If I copied my TF2 folder and gave it to my brother, would he be able to play by dropping it in the appropriate place?

On a different PC? The TF2 folder only stores settings and things you downloaded off servers and such, he'd still need all the appropriate gcf files from the steamapps folder.

Yes, just take note of the following:
[Copying/pasting game data to bypass the need to download will] also work with games using the new CDS. Steam checks for existing data when initialising the installation of a game, so as long as you don't begin the download/s prior to copying over the steamapps folder, Steam will "discover" the existing data and realise it doesn't need to download anything (or will only download the files that have been updated). Here's an example using a fresh installation of Steam and the Dota 2 beta (I don't know why the other games showed up to the party):
Edit: Kindasorta beaten.

Hell yeah to PC Sine Mora, although I'll probably buy it on Vita. The guys behind Scott Pilgrim is doing a new game, Mercenary Kings, which seems to be to Contra what SP was to Streets of Rage. It's currently PC exclusive at the moment (because, y'know, licensing fees) and they've already confirmed for Steam, so look out for it.

Awesome, thanks. So the only files I want to copy over are the gcf ones? And just the ones that have team fortress 2 in the filename or ones like source models too?
Is it? Is it officially confirmed? :O
Copy over the Source GCFs as well as the Team Fortress 2 GCFs. Then, copy the team fortress 2 folder into his Steam\steamapps\[account name] folder, and finally install the game via Steam. Steam should detect the existing data and, assuming your copy of TF2 is up-to-date, skip the download process entirely.
Wait, what? Since when is it coming to pc?

I thought it looked really nice, but perhaps that's because I go into console games expecting them to look like trash.
It hasn't been officially announced as far as I know, but in July, Polytron (the Fez developer) tweeted that there were only "a few months" of XBLA exclusivity left. This was during the whole Polytron vs. Microsoft fiasco. There might have been another hint or two about a PC release, but I can't find anything right now.
it's being considered, it may come.
Phil Fish didn't like XBLA, blamed it for the save corruption of the game and that it was to expensive to fix it.
Oh and he has something against pc's, or just rubbing Mircosoft's back:
Plus with his rants against MS vs Steam, it doesn't take much imagination to figure out where he's headed next.
Spreadsheets to count all his monies. Am i rite?
I'd chalk that up to 'acting like a jackass'. Seems to be a reoccuring problem for him, but his game looks cool so I don't really care what he writes on the internet.
Guy really needs to keep his thoughts to himself, I found the phil fish moments in the "Indie Game: The Movie" to be very cringe worthy.
At least one GAFer said that Fez was running on PC during IGF exhibitions and that privately, Fish said he understood the demand for a PC version. IIRC, it was Zia.
I guess it could go to PSN and remain firmly console-exclusive, but I would...I dunno, wager a somewhat expensive game on Steam against that.
edit:
asdfsl;khdfskj fuck I'm at work NO WHY
Damnit. Not at home so I can't redeem codes.
Is this any good? The concept is actually pretty novel but I haven't heard much about it.
They are doing it again tomorrow

They're spamming 30 keys in 30 seconds, and I activated one easily. So chances seem pretty good.

Bah, I was hoping there'd be a franchise sale.

I assume this is only for the muti and not the single player like the Saints Row 3 free weekend was right/

It's multiplayer, yeah.
The Total War series is 25%-75%90% off for some reason, until October 2nd.
Edit: Oh, wait, the discount varies depending on the game.

Yep. COD multiplayer is actually launched separately from the single player. Fun game, though, Spec Ops survival is cool, but not included in the free portion if I remember correctly.
