YAY!

You mean just as the HIB did with Snuggle Truck: you activate the bundle with a single key, and they add games without asking. I wish they added Secret of the Magic Crystal.
Click on he sign in through STEAM button. It will redirect you to Steam to login with your Steam account and then send you back. You should receive enough points to enter the drawing. After logging in go to the link I provided and click the Enter to Win button. It will use 5 of your points and when it ends in 4 days you will get a key sent to you (assuming total number stays under 25k entries).I don't understand how that damn site operates
Look warm reviews heh.
I dunno, I'm not expecting it to be Vanquish-godly but a decent shooter with enough interesting ideas to hold my interest.

But with what account. When one creates a Steam account it auto generates a community account?

Not if you create your account for a retail game, like Magicka.

Without delving in to this nightmare of a discussion. As flawed as game reviews are good games tend to get good reviews
At least we could give vg press that.BD has issues with the mechanics that are supposed to take it apart from the rest of the pew pew stuff that's flooding the market today. SO i was just wondering what's up? Someone provided a Giant Bomb link but i can't access that.

ETA on Legend of Grimrock coming to Steam? Or I take it that there's no release date yet?
Without delving into that nightmare (really, I think this debate has been done to death), while I agree that reviews have some uses (if a game gets 90+ I bother to at least look it up on wikipedia), the 70-79 metarating has proved to be absolutely worthless to my tastes. Some of my recent favorites like Alpha Protocol or Mount & Blade are sadly stuck in the same category as trash like Dragon Age II, so I feel I can't trust the 7.5 IGN gave BD.Without delving in to this nightmare of a discussion.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

C'mon. I'm sure there is at least one game you enjoy that got trashed by the critics.
Reading RPS, we'll be getting release date info some time this week.
They said early April release prior to going gold so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Well a meta in the 70s could mean either a game is a love it or hate it type game or just unremarkable, looking at an average score doesn't give you much insight into that
Update 3/26: Today weve released a new Skyrim beta update, version 1.5.26, that introduces the following fixes:
BUG FIXES
Fixed issue with frequency of first person kill cameras
Underwater effects now display properly
Fixed crash when loading certain plugins
Fixed issue where sun would not appear properly after fast travel
I only play games with a 90+ Metacritic. I'm sure to get all the best games available!
Apparently the 2nd patch was reverting the game back to what it was before that patch in your post. I guess it was broken.
As much as I'd like to try that game £40 is a fucking joke. Thankfully that voucher gives ALMOST £9 OFF! Much more reasonable! :/
And just like that, Nagoshi gets my money.

I checked and well this has to be posted with regard to the PC version
Yeah hold left+right at the same time and enjoy
Besides the left+right silliness, that reminds me of Sonic and Knuckles, or Sonic 3, or Sonic 4, or whichever was one of those classic 2D ones. If the bubble etc. powerup boxes are in it, it looks like it might be fun, even though I don't care much for Sonic in general.
If you (or anyone for that matter) were still looking for impressions, I could provide you with something. I bought it and finished it in pretty much one sitting yesterday. There were like two puzzles that I really just had to guess at because I didn't understand what the hell they were asking me to do, but overall, all the puzzles were laughably easy, if you could even call some of them puzzles.
I can see the angle they were trying to go for. Your every man Nathan Drake-esque hero out on an adventure and what happens to him along the way. He is likeable, I guess, but it just comes off as goofy. The voice acting is surprisingly good all things considered.
Overall, the game is alright for $5 bucks (or $4 in the case of the limited sale). You could really polish this thing off in maybe 2 hours. I can't remember what my time was, but like I said, I did it in one sitting.
I at least enjoyed what I played and wouldn't mind seeing the other episodes come to Steam.
Gamestop has a promotion in store or digital redeemable on Steam.
US only? When does the offer end?

I now have six guest passes for booster trooper. I doubt anyone here wants them, but feel free to prove me wrong.
Haven't played it myself, but there is this game Cubemen, that was released recently. Looks interesting.
straight up tower defense games?
if not then I would guess you have at least played Dungeon defenders, but perhaps Sanctum (FPS/Tower defense) Or if you are ok with non steam games I was enjoying Defender's Quest which will ideally be on steam later this year and they have said anyone who owns the game will get a steam copy if they can do that.
Yeah I'm playing that right now, just beat the demo. Soogood.jpg
Guess what, that glitch was patched not long after the release.

Which somehow went back in time and made this video less funny?
People post that video usually to say that the PC version of S4 Ep1 is more buggy than the consoles versions, even though that glitch was already fixed.

Sonic 4.... must ... resist. AAUuggrghhh
I picked up Sonic 4 last week on Amazon, since I was really enjoying Generations and figured why not. I don't have a lot of Sonic history, so my opinion here is as a newcomer. It feels slower and harder to control. This video (featured on the left+right one) seems to think the underwater level is the greatest sin of the game, but even apart from that it shows several examples of Sonic running out of steam trying to run up a slope, or through a loop-de-loop, etc. And yeah, that happens a lot. I chalked it up to me not being very good at these games "and maybe Generations was just easy mode or something" but apparently it's a feature.
I don't know if Sonic 4 is a good or a bad Sonic game. But it's not as fun as Generations.

If you have played through just a single classic Sonic game, you can watch a video of Sonic 4 and immediately know the physics are fucked up. Just watching him go from standing to full speed running shows you right away that something is very wrong, but then you keep watching and see the weird stops and losing steam, etc.

Why am I not seeing it? If it's 30 for FotS then I will pass for now.
That's the reason why many dislike Sonic 4 Episode 1, the bad movement physics. For example, if the player stops holding the direction Sonic's going, Sonic loses all momentum. This is really annoying, especially during jumps in platforming parts.
Apparently this is going to be fixed in Sonic 4 Episode 2.

Did anyone else's copy of Psychonauts just update?

So yeah, what are the chances of tropico sale due to expansion? Should I wait for it to go down or not?

Why there's no original NWN at Steam yet? I have no desire creating an account at GoG for a single game.
Dungeon Defenders?

any chance for easter sales? :X
No, Defender's Quest. Imagine a TD game with rpg leveling and FF1 graphics. So fucking good.
Maybe soon I hear.
