Just Cause 2 DLC is super cheap but is it worth it? I always get worried worried if DLC vehicles and weapons are game-breaking or something. Do you get them all unlocked as soon as you start the game?
You will get them at the beginning and if I remember right you can't upgrade them. So they are powerful from the start.

Giving away various Steam keys since there's no use hanging onto them. Quote with the one(s) you want and I'll PM you once I mark them all off. Please feel free to take more than one, especially if you're taking ones I have multiples of.

Vegas: Make it Big? My GF is a city builder and this looks like something she would try :)

Thanks Xelios for the tip about Sleeping Dogs for cheap on the Polish Origin site. I really regretted missing it when Steam borked the price a while back.

You can get equivalents or better with mods IIRC.

May I acquire one of those Gettysburg's?

I bought the TFU games right before the sale was over. What do I need to download to make the game better?
A better game? :p

Seriously now, I enjoyed TFU, but there's a specific moment near the end that is particularly infuriating. I played the sequel on the Wii, and while it wasn't bad, you won't lose anything by skipping it.

I own them for PS3 so I know what I'm getting into :p

I was more curious about the fps unlockers and any other fixes out there.

Prepare to dust off your facebook account for #2 there.

I care not. Just give me fps/tps lightsabers and good graphics again.
Visceral and Dice are going to knock these out of the park.

Why the fuck would anyone want a Jedi Knight game from EA.

I'm gonna re open my livejournal for this news.

Because they make good games? Dead Space has been amazing, even 3 was pretty good. Dice games have been great. Even if you think BF3 was a step down, it is still head and shoulders above most shooters out there.

Dice doing SWBF3 and Visceral doing a TPS Jedi Knight would be fantastic.

Defenders of Ardania, please?

My unreliable internet connection is not ready.

To be fair, your unreliable internet connection wouldn't let you play SWBF3 from any developer.

Have they done always online DRM for anything that was multiplat? JK-next would have to be multiplat.

I had a question, I bought the special edition of magic the gathering 2013 which included the OST of the game, also, I realized that shogun 2 fall of the samurai included the OST as well (even though I bought it in a steam sale with the rest of the series as well)

My question is, where I could find this ost? local archives?

It depends on the game, there isn't any consistent location. Just google each game and you'll find it.
