It's pretty awful.
Can be activated on steam?
The retail release is Steamworks, so I'd presume it would
There's a Steam alert on that page as well as a description of the pre-purchase offer so yes, it is a steam key.

Brink is $5 and Sanctum is $3.74 on Gamefly.

Don't.
Seconded. I think Sanctum impressions are usually good, however (I was gifted and haven't played).
It's almost "so bad it's good" but it's pretty much just bad.

Yeah. I played Sanctum for some achievements during a sale and liked what I played but didn't have the chance to go back. It's a cool take on the tower defense genre, a bit similar to Orcs must Die! but first person. If you're a fan of the genre, you'll most likely enjoy it.
Great price for Brink, but you'll probably have nobody to play with online and the "single player" is just frustrating bot matches. So yeah, I wouldn't recommend it either.
Civ5 (non-goatee edition) is 7.49 (75% off) over at Get Games Go. There's also a 50% discount on a partial DLC pack which contains Babylon, Korea and Ancient Wonders.

Analogue: A Hate Story is up.
Time to get my hate on.

It's tough finding people to play with, I still ahve it installed if anyone else is up for playing some time. I'm also playing Dota 2 a lot as Windrunner, if anyone's into that.
Sanctum is kinda fun but I imagine the multiplayer is dead now. Played a few hours for Holiday achievements and really enjoyed it.
Figured. When games like that just come out silently you can assume it's terrible. Especially something from Atlus, if it was good this board would have been freaking out about it.
Well, so is that Garsharp game but everyone lost their shit over that.
Quoted for the truth.
Man, this just reminded me how when I first started posting "QFT" was one of the most used phrases.
Ugh, seems like there might be a problem playing Steam games off my external drive, but I'm not sure what it is.
The Sniper V2 demo worked fine, but Saints Row The Third and Just Cause 2 didn't work - SRTT doesn't launch, and JC2 starts up but just stays on the first "Just Cause 2" screen with the logos.
This was when using Steam Mover, so I reinstalled Steam on the external drive, copied the steamapps folder over and tried that - no luck. Tried verifying cache on JC2 - it did download something, but it didn't fix the problem
So there are only two things I can think of now:
1. Redownload the game completely - I can't see this working, the game worked fine as it is from the C drive.
2. Someone mentioned my particular drive (Hitachi Touro Desk, 2TB, 7200RPM) isn't compatible with Windows built-in back up for some reason, I think it may have been that it uses 4k sectors maybe? All I can think of is formatting it to not use these sectors but I have no idea how to do that, whether it's advisable, or whether it would fix the problem.
Any ideas anyone? Getting a horrible feeling I've just wasted £80 on a drive I'll hardly use if Steam games don't work from it...

Why you shouldn't buy Brink...
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
It's not in even the expanded stats, fewer than 500 people, if any, play this game.
It's fine. Just some Euro-jank.

For the record, I'm not saying people should buy it; I'm just saying it's there.

I'm surprised Analog a Hate Story is on there. No excuse now I suppose.
Still waiting for To The Moon though...

I'm not sure if this is related - and my memory here is sketchy - but some Steam games have trouble playing when your Steam folder is no longer located on the C: drive. I think it's related to user profiles or something... I apologize, but I just can't remember the exact cause.
This came up when I tried to run Nexus : The Jupiter Incident. I suspended my scruples and used a 'quick fix' solution, one that's totally legal in my country but may not be in others.
I'd love a copy if you have to spare
Playing Digital and Don't Take it Personally, Babe was one of the highest gaming points of last year for me.
If not, I'm gonna buy it anyways

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Cheers for the help
It could also be related to this, I'm just going through the games I have installed at the moment to see which work and which don't, then I guess the best I can do for now is to use Steam Mover to put the ones that don't back on the C drive and see if that fixes anything.morningbus

So, I played through the demo of Analog: a Hate story... and it's actually kind of interesting. Definitely worth giving a shot, but definitely not for everyone.

Visual novel.
First post ever. Love this thread. Just wanted to say hi and put in that the little I've played of Sanctum it's been worth every penny.
And to say thanks for the enjoyment this thread has brought me, I have a couple extra copies of Torchlight (if someone has managed NOT to get it yet). First PMs I get with Steam ID get them. Hope I did this all correctly, would hate to mess up my first post.
----ALL GONE----

Digital a Love Story was great. I assume there's some twist in this that makes it interesting as well, but at a glance it looks like generic animu visual novel type game, which probably doesn't help.

Big thanks to TheDuke56! Been wanting to play Torchlight for quite awhile.
yeah when you DL it it says it will ge about 7GB but it ends up downloading and installing about 15GB.

Well, part of the twist is that you're on a derelict space ship in a far-flung future and the the generic animu waifus are actually AIs.
And they're tsundere as hell. Well one of them is. Anyway, you'll figure it out.
FINALLY
