Just bought the game after signing into Steam and seeing the deal. Was amazed because as I was signing in I thought about buying Lost Planet; never got around to playing it and since the new LP2 trailer has surfaced I've been interested...

But that will be sold as a different game? Or an extension to this one that you pay for?
I was just about to buy it, but now I'm gonna wait for the answer. XD I did the same thing with STALKER...owned the original, bought the Steam version for $5, and still haven't played much more because I have too many games.

Colonies pc also allows play against 360 users and vice-versa, vanilla lost planet is limited like every other game.ctalamode said:

Where was it confirmed that the Steam version is getting the Colonies update?

How so? Just because of Bionic Commando?
I think Capcom learnt a lesson thee because Flock is already announced for Steam.
EDIT: Maybe i am thinking of something else. Can't seem to find that news now. Hmmmm
As an aside, anyone know if GamersGate or Impulse will list prices in £ with/without creating an account? I want to get Bionic Commando at some point but not if I have to buy it at the Euro price with the current shoddy exchange rate.

Yeah maybe you are right, i could have sworn that i saw that Flock was coming to Steam though.
I want to keep my DD down to 2 or at most 3 places but these damn publishers are making it difficult to do.
It is looking like it is gonna have to be a Steam, GamersGate & Impulse trio but i'd like to cut out one of the last two. Maybe I will give BC:R a miss for now.
The Euro prices on GamersGate are killing that at the moment anyhow.

LP for $5? Insta-bought.
I'm stoked. I've been meaning to play this game for a while. I was about to buy the game for a fair bit more a few days ago. :lol
Thanks Steam.

Picked up Lost Planet for the hell of it. I'm a lot more impressed with the game's engine than I am with the game itself. But $5 is so cheap I don't regret the purchase.

Subete no aware
If they could have patched the original game, why did they release the updated version again on PC?
Anyway, that's probably the only reason I don't want to get it... but yeah, at 5 bucks, it's hard to skip.

argh too many games. Bought lost planet, cant wait to get time to play it, after killzone 2.
Looking at the steam stats there are some interesting trends. I notice dawn of war 2 has been hanging in the top 5 most played games on steam, which does jive with seeing the game dethroned L4D as the top selling steam game since it released. You can see stats here:
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
Just view players per game. There is a pretty sharp drop off in players after the sixth game.
Also, their hardware survey for Jan 09 is intriguing:
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
Nvidia dominating the video front and Intel dominating the cpu front No surprise. Dual core taking up over 50 percent of users on steam, and Windows Vista is still only 1/3 of the steam userbase afte all this time! You can see the rest for yourself on this page, interesting.

I'm like the advertiser of Stubbs the Zombie. I think it was on sale for $5 a while back, which is awesome, but $10 is still good.
A lot of people don't seem to like it, but it's actually one of the best zombie games I've ever played. It's very funny and very creative, and I liked the gameplay, generally. It's third-person, and you can throw intestine grenades, use a fart stun attack, and roll your head as special attacks. The intestine grenades are the main useful ones, though. For normal attacks, you can slash and eat people's brains, so you build your own zombie army as you go, assuming you don't get them all killed (you can whistle and tell them which way to go, and use them to distract while you engage in more devious tactics).
And best of all, you can use your own disembodied hand to take over humans, to do stealth gameplay and use shotguns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and so forth.
Anyway, I dunno if that sounds lame, but I thought it was really funny and quite enjoyable, even though I didn't ever beat the final boss. I like the retro-futuristic 50's style, and the music is pretty great (I bought the soundtrack). And the dance battle halfway through is AMAZING.
Well, it was quite some time back with XP and a FX5200... It gave me some Nvidia errors, I think. Since then I upgraded to a 7600GT and got a laptop so it's bound to work now, no doubt, but I haven't tried since and if it did work back then I think I would've kept my eyes more closely on it.Blizzard said:

So it seems that Morrowind GOTY edition is going to be arriving on Steam in the near future
Morrowind? Or do you mean Oblivion.
I saw Oblivion GOTY edition at Wal Mart for 20 bucks. Almost picked it up but I would rather have it on steam.
Oh, and I figured out my isses with TLR. You can move the mouse around without hitting a button, just set it to standard. I swear that option wasn't there the first time I checked it out. Unfortunately I didn't see a way to enable the mouse in the menu screens which would help. Might pick it up again at 75 perecent off for $9.99 on a weekend sale versus $2.99 now.

AMD would be ecstatic if that was the sort of market share they had across the board!Mrbob said:
No surprise to see nVidia with such a big lead. The 8800 generation must have made quite a large impact on the %'s.
