Buy that game. And buy Pixeljunk Eden.
BUY THIS GAME! Also, buy the soundtrack too!
Seriously, it's well worth the asking price of barely over a cereal box.

The game is fantastic, and the soundtrack is even better. No excuses.
Shatter is such an amazing game, love the soundtrack.
If you haven't watched yet, the Giantbomb quicklook for Shatter is great. Hearing Jeff and Vinny trying to explain the mechanic of blowing and sucking balls is hilarious

Mouse control is like a thousand times better. Still, I think she physics are pretty fucked up and made a big rant about it one time.

And one more- excellent game.
Just bought and downloaded Chronicles of Riddick and it activated fine but now it wont start. Im stuck at a black screen until I get a "Crash" error message and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out. Any ideas?
Im currently validating the game cache but if that doesnt work, im out of ideas.

So after buying Zombie Driver on a sale god knows how long ago I started it today. Really good fun. I've only done the main missions so far, but it seems like it has a lot more content.
Reminds me of the old GTA games.

Check the Steam forums if you have a problem with a game, chances are someone else ran into the same issue already.

Yeah, it's good mindless fun. I've only played it during the last Summer sale to get that ticket but I've meant to go back and put more time into it.

It is a bit mindless, but it's starting to get quite intense/difficulty in the missions I'm on now. You have to be quick to get to every survivor and sometimes it's hard to do the sub-missions within the time limits/without dying.
Yeah, it seems like the game is broken. I tried all of the fixes I could find on the forums so far and nothing as worked. I wonder if Steam gives refunds in cases like this.
Yes, and breakout is awesome. Awesome version of an awesome game = more awesome?
Well yeah, if you like Breakout I'm sure it's great. But the hype on GAF never mentions this, it's always "buy this amazing game, this must-buy!". It's not that special.

It´s a really great Breakout clone, with some really fun gameplay tweaks and new modes, a superb soundtrack and great graphics, for a really good price. That is special, but everyone doesn´t have to like everything.

Game I'm downloading is stuck on "Suspended". This sucks, I wanted to play tonight...
If somebody finds a game amazing and believe other people will think the same, then why not express that?
There are people on this planet who don't like Breakout? Disappointment in humanity +1.
Double-click on play. Loading a game that hasn't downloaded seems to have a 100 percent success rate for me.
Short and somewhat old review I wrote of Shatter on Steam:
Remember the game Breakout? Arkanoid? If not, think of any other game where the player controls a platform and destroys stacks of bricks with a bouncing ball, moving from side to side. It's a tried and true concept, some might even call it worn out. Sidhe Interactive takes the "brick-breaking" concept and reinvigorates it. There's new ideas and gameplay options that changes it for the better. Now the game is more than simply shuttling a paddle left and right, but what that is, I'll let newcomers experience themselves. Shatter is a complete, richly engineered game and comes with one hell of a soundtrack as well, magnificent stuff!
It's well worth it's asking price.

Worked perfectly, many thanks.
Heh, this is mine from November 2010

It still stands. Yes, it's just a Breakout/Arkanoid clone, but it's so well crafted only people who really hate this sort of game should avoid it. Heck, 85 people on my friends list have the game, which ranks up there in my top also owned games, so some people out there love the game too.
Frankly, it's worth it for the music, but I'm biased!

Well I'm just enjoying Shatter as hell, and the soundtrack it's so awesome!
@Nabs I'm going to pick the soundtrack up, and play it in Audiosurf, nice advice!

I thought everyone already had Shatter from that Steam Scavanger Hunt. Lot of rage that day. :lol

Here's one for all you registry searchers:
Is Ms. Splosion Man still there? It was there as ValveTestApp105420 back ages ago. I'm wondering if it disappeared since Microsoft bought Twisted Pixel.

My quick and dirty review/recommendation for Pineapple Smash Crew that I posted on Steam...
Squad-based Robotron-ish top down shooter meets Bomberman but with an array of insane grenades with increasingly bizarre but awesome functions that you unlock as you level up instead of girly bombs. It's entirely randomised--the levels, power-ups, enemies, objectives and bosses--so you never quite know what you will encounter in each mission. The only persistent thing is your squad and their level/exp (unless one of them dies?). Oh, and the chiptune soundtrack is pretty rad.

It's a year old, I haven't had much chance to play it beyond a couple hours in the tutorial when it first released. It's a tactical strategy game, moving miniatures about on the board ala most games with 'tactics' in the title. It uses a collectible miniature method of gathering your collection of units similarly to Pox Nora.
I'm looking to check it out again, but it's taking a while to download. Looks like SOE will have ALL of their games on Steam soon, which can only be good for them.. a lot of my friends have been looking at SOE games since they've appeared on Steam but otherwise wouldn't have gone near them with a 10 foot pole.
Are there spells other than creatures? I really like Magic, but don't know if I'll enjoy just having creatures punching each other.

I agree with you, it could be better if people doesn't remind it!

I don't have Dirt 2 installed atm but you could try alt+enter, its a common fullscreen mode shortcut.
