Apparently I'm out of date. Did any of the other new bundles from yesterday get games added?
All this stuff probably depends on the APIs.
It's not like they have to write their own infrastructure - to oversimplify it, they merely need to change the game's code to use the Steamworks APIs instead of the GFWL APIs... now, depending on how the APIs are designed, that could be a simple job or a nightmare.

And it's already approved, I think it was in the first batches games.
The fact that I missed the giant "This game has been greenlit by the community!" banner is perhaps a sign that I should hit the hay.

Same here. I have also read that the new engine they built for this game limits the size of city you can build. I'm sure that with modding some of that will change, but to me this game was such a huge fail from the outset I just don't want to bother with it
unless I can get it in some future Origin bundle for $1
Its a shame because I grew up on Sim City and it just seems like every iteration has gotten worse. Sim City 2000 and Sim City SNES were my favorites though I have to admit I haven't spent a lot of time on SC4...
And knowing GFWL...
i want it

Isn't it around 7:00 a.m. on Australia?
On those greenlight titles- keep an eye on Faeria- it's struggled a bit with its base (some of this is intentional, the devs have been trying to keep it tampered down until fully ready because they're betting on Steam), but it's a great alternative to Hearthstone.
When they release it on Steam in a few months, it should be really awesome. It's already very good, and it's just a one-time purchase, no FTP garbage.

That's a good deal. Thanks!

Shouldn't the documentary be on the media section and not games section?

That game looks insane, no way my PC will run it.
The Groupees bundles had their bonuses unlocked but the only interesting one is Heroes of Steel. (The Southern Europe bundle has the lamest bonuses I've seen so far; two of them are bonus things for Gary's Adventure.)
Sun is shining in the sky, there ain't a cloud in sight. It's stopped raining, still nobody's in the game. And don't you know, it's a beautiful new day.
Placin' down the avenue, see how the sun shines brightly. In the city, on the streets where once was pity, Mr. Offline is living here today.
Mr. Offline, please tell us why you had to hide away for so long. Where did we go wrong?

Speaking of lame, the "Social Activity" widget on the main page of Groupees is like a relic from mid-90s Geocities web pages.
Amazing at their time, 2008 and Forgotten Sands are still a blast to play, no questions asked.
For the Sands of Time trilogy, it depends on you - I replayed Sands of Time last year and had a blast, RionaaM did so and came not terribly impressed.
I wonder how the gameplay works in SimCity while offline. From my understanding, much of the gameplay appeal/balance centers around trading with other cities in your area.
Due to the extreme size restrictions, you have to specialize in certain resources, then trade for what you don't have room to produce.
I would imagine you can turn off some of the effects to get it running.

Yeah, but I want it too look like it does in the trailers
.I'm long overdue for an upgrade.
Thanks! Of course, I ended up winning two copies, so I'll nuke this one and re-submit it..
Sorry about that, thanks again! Reposting in a few..

They're pretty good.
Sands of Time and Warrior Within require a fix to play in 16:9(The Two Thrones and after are all native 16:9) and Sands of Time also has a glitch where if you have fog on, it's pretty tricky to see, but if you turn fog off in the graphics options, it's fine.
2008, I didn't much care for but it was okay.
The Forgotten Sands is also pretty good, but nothing amazing, it has some interesting ideas and is pretty good looking, but the locations lack variety, it tends to just be inside a brown castle for 99% of the game, has some nice character development though, more exploration of the family side of things.
Oh and so you don't get confused about things, The Forgotten Sands takes place between Sands of Time and Warrior Within, so if you're wondering why the prince forgets certain things that have happened to him in Warrior Within/The Two Thrones...That's why.
I think some of the most outrageous stuff is fixed, and there are several mods for some of the other stuff (like entering space stations).
I would still go into it with low expectations. It's pretty (not the characters though), and there's an interesting game underneath it all, but it started from such a low bar (I say that with so much pain as I pre-ordered it) that it may still take a while before it's as good as it's going to get.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has some pretty annoying mouse controls, feels very stiff, so I recommend you use a gamepad for TTT(works just fine with any xinput controller, not sure about dinput, haven't tested that myself unfortunately)
But aside from that, most of them are pretty good ports, there are some graphical errors you'll see on the pre2008 titles, but aside from that, they're pretty solid, I finished most of them rather recently and didn't run into much trouble at all.
Hmm , i think ill wait a while longer till either most of it is fixed or buy the game during a sale then .
Backlog is already huge as it is .
Thanks for the info .

Amidst all the engine news I really wish Valve finally showed off S2.
Forgotten Sands has UPlay.
Two Thrones had StarForce IIRC, but that's removed from Steam version.

Yeah, I finished with the A ending not too long after. I had 11 lives stocked up and the final area wasn't hard to learn because you could reliably get a spirit there if you needed it. I just loved all the crafty ways it put your simple set of tools to use and figuring out the ins and outs of the levels. Once you got the levels down pat it was pretty rewarding to maul the bosses after with the flamesword; the upgrades make a big difference so there's always a sense of urgency to getting hit.
Volgarr was really satisfying. Total time clocked at 12.5 hours but it's the kind of game that feels like it took far more than that. Tends to happen when I always feel engaged in something and can't just autopilot through the whole thing.

I hope there is a special place in hell carved out for whoever designed Blighttown. Shit. Finally made it to the bottom bonfire and hauled ass to the ladders to get back to the Shrine
. I'll be ok never going through it again.
...and then awesome dropped through the elevator shaft...sonofabitch
People that got "Us and Them" through Bundle In A Box will not get Steam keys, since the Steam release went through Scammery First.

Are the Free to Play cheevos still not live yet?

I don't think so. There are no cards available at the market even though they are listed in the game.
Pretty sure you need to buy the DLC.

Haven't started watching yet, but where the cheevo icons, progress bar and descriptions should be I see nothing.

They're all hidden achievements.
You have to listen to both commentary tracks in the movie by clicking the exclamation mark in the movie options.
For some reason Dendi's achievement didn't unlock till I did Fear's first, if you don't want to listen you can just fast forward to the end and they will pop. (Still worth listening to)
