Unity of Command just hit Steam... and it's only $14.99.

This. This is a good turn based strategy game.

Ever play Panzer General II? You like Squad Leader when it came in a big box that had to be stuck in a bookshelf? Are you old, like me?

Then you will like... nay... love Unity of Command.

Yes!!! Just what I was looking for a good tactical wargame. Glad they weren't just stuck to being released only on Matrix Games' website. I hope the Close Combat reboot that hits next year will be sold on Steam to get more exposure.

I wish they would. I could probably get $100 at least with all of these shitty indie games I have, not to mention a lot of bigger bad games like Darksiders 2.

I was going to say that perhaps the Federation of German Consumer Organisation's stern warning to Valve may force its hand, but apparently said group's bark is worse than its bite -- there hasn't been any news since and Valve's deadline expired a week ago.

Says the poster buying multi player dlc for games that don't even have anyone playing. It's safe to say that you are unhinged.

I suppose it's part OCD, part pride, part organization, and part avoiding the embarrassment of owning 380 games including Flora's Fruit Farm. Just something feels so dirty about having stains on your account that you can't get rid of. It's not like having a crap game in your physical collection that you can just sell. Also, sure, some of those may provide a few minutes of fun, but there is better quality fun to be had with all my other games. I have enough good stuff to play without worrying about the crap.

COGS never clicked with me and I don't like its style. Aquaria was boring and felt too indie.

Aquaria just took too damn long to get started. Then way overstays its welcome at the end. But in between, it's Metroid under water. With any pacing at all, the game could have been considered an absolute classic.

Funny thing about Toca 3, it'd probably be highly sought if you could actually trade it. That was the last Codemasters game before they started Gridifying. I'm sure people would love to have it in their library if they could buy it.

I think SEGA got the whole Steam thing right, lately. Way to go.
Click to expand...

It's a pity Sega is one of if not the worst offender when it comes to the Aussie Tax. Not because the price increase is high, but because it's applied to literally everything Sega has published on Steam, from base games to the cheapest of DLC.

It's not a huuugely great deal, but the MacHeist bundle for $29 includes steam keys for:

Jurassic Park
Sam and Max Devil's Playhouse
Strong Bad
Bejeweled 3
(and a bunch of Mac productivity software)

If it crosses a number of bundles sold, then Bioshock 2 gets added (though it doesn't specify if that one will be Steam or not)

Zing!

Yeah, I wouldn't get it myself, but you never know, someone might be interested. I really like the TellTale stuff (even the bad ones). Will probably eventually pick up Jurassic Park, but not until it's like $5 or something.

I don't get the HD label either, just call it ZD2. Still a fan of the first game and will pony up for this one.
Click to expand...

Yeah that is a bit odd. I personally would've liked an update to the old game but i'll probably just get the HD version later since i liked the first one.

but I am taking tiny steps forward
Is there a Political Machine 2012 four pack going on yet? $2.50 a piece.

Edit: Xelios is in, only two more spots to fill.

First impressions about Viking, so far I only started new game, haven't even played, but first thing I noticed, it's locked at 30 fps.

Some people in the steam game hub have a weird bug where the game has no text at all, for me text works fine though. There's the possibility that the issue could be related to Nvidia graphics cards maybe? There's not enough info to make this conclusion though.

xelios

Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
Political Machine 4-pack ($2.50 Paypal each):

1) Kipp
2) Xelios
3) The Rolling Cheese
4) Sysgen


Pack is done.

Let's face it, it's all OCD. :p

If you uninstall the stuff you don't like and set it to show installed games only you never even see those games again.

EDIT: I see someone already mentioned this.
