Giantbomb quick look was promising. Anybody know how much 'meat' there is? Or are we looking at the same steps over and over?

It's pretty much the same steps over and over but in different configurations depending on what achievements you want to unlock. Every game will still involve placing resources next to other resources to max their yields in order to satisfy increasing demands for town projects.

Borderlands 2 is tempting. I haven't played the first since launch but I put about 40 hours into it. Was a blast at the time.

Hmm.

I finally played Binary Domain (didn't realised that had a demo), and is amazing, I'm sad now that I hadn't bought it a month ago when it was in sale

I hope to see some promotion soon

Purchased Infinite from Play Asia as mentioned earlier in the page.

Fingers crossed that it works. I don't really want to buy any more that many games until the summer sale.

Law & Order it is.

Yeah, I can see this one disappearing from Steam as well. Time for me to pick it up and Jurassic Park for the same reasons.

Edit: Also seem to be missing Wallace & Gromit!

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Didn't realize BioShock Infinite was only $35 on Amazon.

You guys think it'll be cheaper anytime soon?

I dreamt last night that I pre-ordered Shadowrun Returns. I think my brain is trying to tell me something.

Not to mention that, even at 75% off, it's not going to get much cheaper; the 20% discount code knocks it down to $5.44.

It could very well be half off during Amazon's/Steam's Summer Sale.

That Sonic Racing is the bad one, right? This pack would be insane if it was the new one. I'd like to own Sonic CD and see if Generations is as good as people say, but even at $10 I'm too sour on Sonic in general these days to get it without a better game involved.

There is no bad game in the all-star racing series. Only good and amazing. Even the first is worth playing.

I just bought it from Play Asia for 28, but it's been an hour and I still don't have a key. I'll update when I do, but I'd definitely wait (I was okay with the risk).

update: IT WORKED

But it was also kind of weird. A representative from Play Asia called me and asked to verify my Paypal and PA e-mail addresses, and when I did, she sent the code. The whole process took about 1.5 hours, but Infinite for 28 bucks is worth it.

Besides Sonic Generations and Racing, how are the other PC ports anyway? are they good enough or do they have many issues?

CD is excellent, DX needs a mod but will run great after. The rest are emulated.

Well, since Sonic Generations: Casino Night is a DLC, that's only 11 games you added to your backlog.

So now I demand that you buy another one, so you can make it 12.

Don't know where else to ask, and you guys know a lot about random PC games.

Does anyone know of a way to play SW: Dark Forces in an updated way ala ZDoom? Or even just to get it to play well?

Did the recent Steam beta update a couple of days ago delete anyone's non-steam game shortcuts and revert all the custom icons? Is there any way to get what was lost back? I had a lot of odd DosBox shortcuts for a bunch of GoG games that I no longer remember what I typed for the file path.

If there isn't any way to get that back, what can I do to avoid this in the future?

Hey Gaf, Steam OCD here.

Do the Sonic games from the Sonic Action pack are all single entries on the list?

I mean, are all the Sega Genesis games under one "Classic Sonic" entry, or do they each have their own entry?

I kinda wish they were just one thing...

I know Sonic CD is by itself. But what about the rest?

Why would Telltale games be disappearing from Steam?

Sonic 4 Episode 1 has completely broken physics. I mean, Sega and apologists say the physics are "working as as intended," but, seriously, they're worse than the youtube videos complaining about them.

The other MegaDrive titles don't have their own entries; they're loaded via the Sega Classics emulator.

The Law & Order brand is a licensed property, so unless Telltale opts for an extension when its current license is due to expire, the game will disappear into the digital ether.

Edit: The same is true of Jurassic Park, BTTF, W&G and TWD. Basically, Telltale's games have an air of uncertainty about them. :p Ticking time bombs, if you will!

Ah, thanks for explaining. When do those licenses expire?
