Funny that Xelios would suggest Bejeweled 3 over yesterday's daily deal, Lucid.

Midweek Madness: Bejeweled 3 (75% off/$4.99)
Daily Deal: Aztaka (66% off/$3.40)

Wow, Bejeweled 3 is $20 regularly? There aren't even orcs in it!

 

[Echoplx]

I've seen a lot of positive thoughts on Aztaka in past threads here, might pick it up.

 

[ShaneB]

Looks like I'll pick up Bejeweled 3.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I think that' the first time I've seen a popcap game at 75% off.

 

[MNC]

Does Valve have anything interesting at CES? As in a booth/keynote I can follow?

 

[YianGaruga]

Had Bejeweled 3 on my wishlist since it was released and I heard of the Zen Mode. So bought.

Zen mode is best mode for podcasts.

 

[Speevy]

Having just gotten into Steam when the holiday sale started, I was blown away by their prices.

Now I can give my wallet a rest for a couple of months at least.

 

[Volcynika]

I've finished all of Bejeweled 3's quest mode thing, some of those minigames are completely terrible and not fun to play.

But if you want some good ole Bejeweled, you can get that.

Sorry bro, daily, midweek and weekend deals are gonna get ya

Indeed, I saw the deal and I thought the same thing. Even looked for his post to make sure. A very nice discount on what I've heard to be a very solid game. And as others have said, I'm glad that Popcap is coming around on higher discounts as well.

Batman Arkham City is $20 on GMG.

Will that activate on Steam?

No, unless the store page explicitly says it.

 

[xelios]

Bejeweled 3 for $5 is worth every cent and I urge anyone interested in puzzle games to pick it up. High quality game with tons of content and modes of play. In addition to zen/classic/timed there's a quest mode with a lot of variation in how you must overcome the levels. If you like to unlock stuff then between the in game badges, Steam achievements and extra modes you can unlock -- like poker and mining -- you'll get a lot of hours out of it. +HD graphics look really nice and there are leaderboards.

And it was pure coincidence I recommended it over Lucid right before it became midweek madness.

 

[AcridMeat]

Having just watched the quick look for QUBE, it looks damn fun!

Anyone have any anecdotes?

It's a lot of fun, lasts ~4 hours and shows the devs have a ton of potential.

All I could find is they do have a booth. http://ces12.mapyourshow.com/5_0/exhibitor_details.cfm?exhid=T0009901 Don't know if it's been set up yet or anything.

WHY IS NO ONE VISITING THEM? THEY COULD HAVE BIG PICTURE MODE OR HL3

Doesn't help when you can't find where the Venetian Hospitality Suites are. The link just sends you to the list of exhibitors. Wanted to see the size of their booth.

Cheers, will get when I have some money.

Dustforce looks really great too.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Bejeweled 3 GET! Nearly got it at 50% during the Xmas sales, victory is mine!

 

[goober]

Thoughts on Aztaka?

Edit: xelios should mention Titan Quest over X game, then it will be a daily deal yessssssss

 

[Binabik15]

Jagged Alliance-Back in Action?! I thought 3d JA was vaporware?

Can someone tell me how to get JA2/JA Gold running on Vista or W7? I love that game. I want it on a handheld.

 

[Snuggles]

Bought Bejeweled 3. I actually haven't played the series much, but I love what I've played of PopCap's catalog and I love casual/puzzle games so it's an easy buy.

edit - also saw Xelios's rec on Steam, which sealed the deal. He's got good taste.

 

[Nabs]

Dustforce looks really cool.

 

[svegis]

I echo all the interest in Dustforce, but I've been trying to find system requirements for the game. Without any luck, I figured I'd ask here, Does anyone know, or is it not known yet?

Pardon me if I've just missed it and it's a redundant post.

 

[panda21]

someone seems to be trying to reset my steam support account password, I've had two emails in the past hour about someone trying to reset the password, and it isn't me.

I'm not sure what to do since it isn't unauthorised access to my account, but it seems kind of suspicious.

Should I contact support or just ignore? my actual steam account appears to be just fine.

oh and I have their IP address.. they appear to be in the US.

Do you have steam guard enabled? They shouldn't be able to access your account if you do unless they have access to your email as well.

Maybe change your password and make sure Steamguard is active?

 

[Goody]

Aztaka is a great, great game. It's been pretty overlooked, sadly.

Here's a thread Enk made about two years ago about the game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=372169

If you like side scrolling adventure platformers, do it.

 

[panda21]

steamguard is active, and there is no way anyone has the password but I guess I will change it just to be safe.

I was worried someone might try to use my steam support account to somehow hijack my actual account but I dont know if such a thing is even possible.

 

[1-D_FTW]

It's a lot of fun, lasts ~4 hours and shows the devs have a ton of potential.

Also seems to have good 3D.

Think I'm going to order the HMZ-T1 this week and this looks like a game that could be pretty trippy with it.

Anyways, it's been added to my wishlist. My New Year's cockiness about finally conquering my wishlist seems hollow now. 2012 will see me adding many new games to it.

Guys, I just finished Global Ops: Commando Libya on the hardest difficulty setting. My friend, who gifted the game to me, challenged me to do it and now he owes me.

That game was totally Libya. I don't recall playing a game that has "fuck" said that many times.

 

[Stallion Free]

That game was totally Libya.

What do you even mean by this? Lol.

 

[Spwn]

What do you even mean by this? Lol.

Wrote it as a reference to the game's GiantBomb page, but I guess you could compare the game to the current state of Libya. It's a mess.

 

[-PXG-]

Dustforce looks great. Definitely getting that next week.

Same here. Glad it isn't just my connection.

Hope it is back up soon. I only have an hour and half to get in some Dead Island co-op.

This is no fun. Steam problems right as I was in-game connecting to a server. Hope this ends soon.

It's scheduled downtime.

The notice on their boards says they expect the downtime to be "short" which in Valve Time means approximately 3 hours.

I hope you are exagerating.

No one exaggerates about Valve Time.

Nope

We'll be updating some of the Steam servers Tuesday January 10th, 2011 around 16:00 PST (GMT-8). Chat, game lobbies, and the community web site will be affected. Content downloads and game play should not be affected. Downtime is expected to be short.

Liars! It's back in only 30 minutes! Dead Island time!

You can't exaggerate Valve time. It's impossible.
