It's good that you want to play it, but I think there are much better reasons for it (not trying to imply yours is not valid, of course :p)

Allow me to quote myself, please:

Considering most reviews I've seen bash Remember Me's combat as being a poor clone of the amazing freeflow system in the Arkham games, I'm not sure what to think about your quoting of yourself. :p

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Galactrix is awful
and they still haven't fixed the PS3 port's trophy bugs.
, Puzzle Quest 1/Challenge of the Warlords, however is easily worth a $1.

The day I start caring about the state of a PS3 port is the very same day I have cared about everything else there is to care about in the world.

Grab a full DirectX installer directly from Microsoft.

A bit late with this reply, but this worked. I didn't think it would since DX11 was already installed on my system, but reinstalling it from the End-User Runtime available on the Microsoft website did the trick. Thanks!

Trying to decide whether or not to burn my last $5 Amazon credit on Saboteur. Hm.
Click to expand...

YES!
Played Saboteur on 360 and absolutely loved it. One of the few Open World games that I fully enjoyed. Also I see that it's a 5 dollar bundle (With credit) that includes Syndicate. Which is a other underrated game. Really fun FPS from star breeze.

I'm still waiting on TinTin on Steam! Amazon doesn't sell digital keys for it anymore :(
Click to expand...

Yeah, I got sick of waiting for Amazon to get more stock and ended up buying it from the Uplay shop -- it was half off, IIRC, and Aussie Taxed, but cheap enough nonetheless. I'd like to think that Anno 1404's return being a successful one would compel Ubi to release the likes of Tintin and King Kong, but who knows.

Tintin and King Kong are licensed, not as easy as Anno...

They've been collecting dust in the registry for yonks: http://steamdb.info/app/202330/ and http://steamdb.info/app/209910/. Ubi just needs to finish the job (add the missing configuration details, add data depots, and make store pages).

Edit: The licences are still current, if that's what you were alluding to. King Kong still being around is very surprising considering it released in 2005.

Oh, feel free to think whatever you believe is true! By no means I think my opinion is the only one that counts, not at all. I just found Remember Me's combat to be totally enjoyable, fun and well made. It may be a clone of the Arkham ones, but to me it's a good one.

Besides, I liked being able to customize the effects of each combo step, and how the special powers were implemented. But that's only my opinion, so you shouldn't blindly trust it.

Guardians of Middle-erf is half off for the next week, too ($9.99 or $39.99 for the Mithril Edition). It's six months old next month, which is how old Gotham City Imposters was when it went F2P, so if you care about your game count at all I'd seriously considering buying the game now because you may not get another chance.

Has anyone received their Gunman Clive key from the Green Light Bundle yet? The last time they commented on it was the 4th. I wonder what's taking them so long.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Steam Dev Days is going on this week in Seattle.

I wish I were going - I'd especially be interested in "Embracing User Generated Content" (Tom Bui, Alden Kroll, and Robin Walker) and "The Corporate Anthropology of Valve and Why it Matters" (Greg Coomer).

Does anyone know if these will be recorded and broadcast to the public? My guess is no. Their FAQs say they'll be archiving the sessions, but it seems they'll only be accessible to people who attended or were invited to attend.

Full Agenda

In a kotaku interview they said some of them would be released for the public. Let me look it up.

edit:

http://kotaku.com/the-big-valve-conference-you-probably-cant-attend-1466689202

Kotaku: Will [readers] have any way to see or hear what's going on at this event?

Powers: The larger, formal presentations will be recorded and made available after the event. However, the smaller and more intimate breakout sessions will not be captured or replayed. One of the reasons we are encouraging everyone who can to attend is that we expect some of the most useful exchanges will be those happening developer to developer, publisher to publisher in the less formal, more spontaneous portions of the event.

The FAQ says the sessions will be recorded, but they may not be made available publicly (officially, anyway) considering the nature of the event and its $95 registration fee.

Edit: Never mind. ;)

Edit edit: Galcon Legends has released and is 10% off ($8.99) for the next week.
