It's quite good, solid adventure mechanics as you'd expect from Frogwares, good puzzles and a surprisingly effective horror element to the story. Overall I'd prefer Awakened to Dracula: Origin if you are familiar with their most recent adventure release. Sadly I've never played Case of the Serrated Scalpel, though I was hunting around for it a few months back after seeing it referenced in a thread here.Illuminati said:
It's really dumb that we can't use our existing product key. At this point it's worthless. I pay a subscription fee, there's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to just download it via steam and continue paying said subscription.crimsonheadGCN said:There's no way I can use my existing product key.Hope they add the ability to.
Well, actually, I'm not playing it anymore at the moment, so I don't particularly care. But both this and EVE annoy me in that way.
At the very least, there should be a way to log into your AoC/EVE account on the Steam store page in order to download the game.
At the risk of turning this into an AoC thread (I know we already have one, but some people might read this one and not that one!)... Yeah, I would definitely not recommend AoC at this juncture. I loved my time with it, had a ton of fun, but Funcom has done little in the way of fixing bugs or adding content. I only played for three months, and while some bugs were fixed, they were mostly little bugs. Not the memory leak bug, which crashed my game three times a day. From what I hear, that's still not fixed. SO DUMB.sk3tch said:
Anyway.
Guys, why should I want X-Com? What makes it better than other SRPGs? I'm looking for a short summary, here, not some in-depth analysis! (I like SRPGs, too, so it probably wouldn't take much to convince me!)

New weekend deal: all Id games 50% off. That means the awesome ID Superpack for only 35 dollars.
STALKER: Clear Sky was just delayed on Steam to coincide with the new September 15th retail date. There is a 10% preorder bonus now though:

So, does anyone here not have TF2 and want a 3-day guest pass?
If so, PM me!
I only have one to give away.

EA games on Steam. Please let this be a sign of things to come!
Please. ):
Gumboy Adventures is pretty fun. I got it in some indie pack a looong time ago with Gish and... maybe something else? I'd say it's worth $5. No clue about Tournament, though. It's multiplayer. I've heard it's nowhere near as good from some and I've heard it's still pretty good from others. SHRUG.

EA on Steam? Excellent news but come on, not saving a single cent by buying the Crysis complete pack is really stingy. Throw them together for $50 (The original Crysis is a year old now afterall) and I'd bite no questions asked.
Hopefully this means burnout paradise will be on steam day 1, alot of people are asking for that to happen on the burnout forums, have been for awhile.
However im wondering if i even bother with the PC version or just grab a ps3 and BP since im sure most gaffers would be playing it on a console.
Lets hope EA do bring their games to steam which hopefully removes the usual bullshit people have to go through with ea's own downloader. There was a recent crysis thread regarding some guys troubles with the game over ea's downloader.

EA is just a publisher for companies like Valve and Crytek.
D hooray!)
Fuckballs. EA jacked up the price of these games for Australia. Crysis is $60, Warhead is $30and the complete pack is... either $90 or $95. They've got two entries on the pack.
Sigh. I mean, it's still $40 / $20 cheaper than in stores. But it kind of urks me that EA's charging us more on a digital game. I wonder how this compares to EA's online Australian store (Where the prices are also inflated).
EDIT: $80 for Crysis on the EA store. That's interesting.
