Finished Mark of the Ninja and I love it. The stealth mechanics are great and fun, everyone should play it IMO.

Wait for Far Cry 3 to get reduced even more. Not worth it IMO for $30. Wait for $15-20 if you're really interested.

Buy La Mulana to support the devs.
La Mulana is SO worth it. And Farcry is gonna get discounted eventually...
Seconded. Finished it last week, loved every minute of it.
I'll take the dreamcast collection!
I didn't enjoy it either. The setting and atmosphete are fantastic, but that's it. As a game, it feels horrible.
This is a game where I really recommend playing on mute and without subtitles, that way it will be MUCH better.
*remembers the slow walking sections*
...or maybe not. Guess this game is beyond any possible redemption.

Has Witcher 2 gone on a lower price?

Hold on a second, you are taking more or less an artistic license here to make the statement more impactful. "Horrible", how so? I really like to hear this because even compared to most shooters Bioshock 1 has quite a bit of depth to it's gameplay, it's really diverse.
On Steam? Well at least this is the lower i've seen it. GoG had it for a few dollars less but you shouldn't be pinching pennies with the Witcher 2. One of the best RPG's in recent years and has always been worth it of a full price tag. So go ahead.

I liked the bosses I fought in Binary Domain, but the in-between gameplay left me really cold. The GAF hype for it is completely nuts, in my opinion.
OK: The weapons feel weak, you never know if you're hitting somebody or just firing into the air, the powers aren't fun to use (it should take a lesson with Jedi Outcast), the respawning enemies are a cheap way of making you waste time, you never have enough ammo for anything, the hacking minigame is boring and repetitive and monotonous.
For a game that starts so strong, it's a shame that they forgot all about the "game" part. I'm not asking for F.E.A.R.-like shooting mechanics; I'd be glad with at least Medal of Honor:AA ones. Hell, even the aforementioned Jedi Knight II has much better shooting that this, and that's supposed to be a lightsaber combat game, mind you.

It's £6 (60% off) right now, but it's been £5 (66% off) before, so it has been cheaper.

I've really enjoyed Starseed Pilgrim but it's definitely not for everyone.
Same with La Mulana too I guess.

I loved Anodyne and I'm loving La Mulana right now (it's not as hard as people say, you just have to figure most things by yourself), I don't think you can go wrong with them.
I think my two definite picks were La Mulana and Monaco (been hyped for ages) - Anodyne might just be cheap enough to pick up on a whim as well.. Thanks guys.

Apreciate the more descriptive answer Rio (^o^)>
Still think you are been a bit dramatic here. How did you play the game? I ask because some of the complains you share here might be due to play style instead of something inherent to the game. To tackle some of the points, im not saying im absolutly right. Now, with that out of the way:
-Weapons start weak because they are supposed to be upgraded, fully upgraded RL and Shotgun have really nice audio visual feedback.
-The ammount of ammo is a balance issue, a player doing plenty of looting should have it in abundance. BUt maybe that's not your thing.
-The powers aren't fun? Ok, that you think Jedi Outcast does a better job doesn't rest merit to plasmids, the execution was well done. Doing combos with traps and powers, witnessing bodies and objects bouncing everywhere was quite impressive. Very few games, specially in FPS have this type of mechanics.
Probably you were exposed to excesive hype before experiencing the game and came dissapointed with it, that might be an explanation. Did you played near release of some years after? The thing that hasn't aged well at all in the game are the NPC models. They are horrible and clash too much with the rest of the visual package.
I don't have any of these games. I loves Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast. Is this pack worth it. Been wanting to check out Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Generations... or are those shitty games.
Sonic Generations is gdlk on PC.

SA2 is shit, Generations is actually very good.

I loved SA2 on the DC, but I can only imagine how dated it looks now. Generations was really fun. Short, but fun.

If you buy directly off the Monaco developer's page you have the option to pay with Amazon Payments. You get a Steam key and some other pre-order bonuses. You might be able to use the Amazon gift card for that.

Origin and EA are such a piece of shit. I bought FIFA 13 from Amazon and I haven't been able to play the game.
First because it crashed at start. I read online it was because my PC's name had an accent (LOL really?) so I changed it. I can run it now but It won't save my profile... because my user's name has an accent (for fuck's sake).
I've been trying to fix this for like an hour and I still haven't been able to play a single match.
Fuck you EA, I'm buying PES 2014 for Steam next year.

I may be mistaken but I don't think you can use gift cards for amazon payments.
Did anyone get the Dreamcast pack? I heard that the Dreamcast Collection isn't redeemable on Steam but what about the other games like Jet Set Radio, Nights, SA2 and Sonic Generations?
Thanks
It's a stupid bug for a game to have and shame on EA for not fixing it when it went through QA but how is it Origin's fault?

I'm about 20 minutes into La-Mulana. Seems super fun so far. The Dark Souls comparisons are definitely apparent already.
Same problem, only difference is I changed my pc's name but it still stuck on the first startup screen. Have tried all the suggestion I can find online and it still doesn't run.
It was my understanding that you could just throw the key into steam and it would register the steam version of it for you. Could be wrong though.

Shit, I preordered the exclusive edition of CoH II and I still didn't get Dawn of War 2.
Retribution was one of the pre-purchase rewards. The description will tell you if one of them is DLC, but if you actually have two copies of the game my guess would be that the second tier was reached, one was added to your inventory, and then Sega backfilled the rewards prior to yanking them, adding another copy.
Seems you're right (the CoH forums are dead at the moment). I didn't realise the keys were retroactively made Steam-redeemable.
