I agree, it would be a great idea. Many have brought it up on the official forums but so far it hasn't been added.

I have a retail UT3. I've installed it via the disc and did the trick so that the game is in Steam's list while being somewhere else on my HDD. However, its status is "pre-installed" and if I click on it, it wants me to buy it. If I go and activate the CD-Key, it says that the servers are busy.
Help?

And Elven Legacy and Flock! are now available, $29.99 and $14.99, respectively.

I always meant to search on NeoGAF and see if anyone else played it...DID anyone else ever play Culpa Innata? I actually was quite impressed at the effort they spent trying to make history for their postmodern world. It's a decent point-and-click adventure, despite there probably being some typos or maybe bugs on occasion.
Also it's rated M and features a lot of sexual content in text, but you only get to have sex with a dude once as far as I know, and it's not graphic (you appear in your underwear afterwards so you can
steal the intelligence
I paid too much for the game originally, but I'd definitely play a sequel, which they were apparently planning.

Anyone ever run Vegas Make It Big on Vista?
Volcynika said:
Shitload of compatibility problems with WXP and I assume Vista also. When I got it and had problems, I checked the Steam forums and found a tonne of people having the same issues. SF basically ignored the whole thing and never bothered to update it.
Quick check shows that Valve dropped the original version of JA2 from Steam, and replaced it with JA2: Gold. I guess this solves the problem for new buyers, but I'm still fucked. Might try emailing Valve some time about this, though I hear their customer support is pretty shitty so I'm not sure how that'll go.
FlatOut: Ultimate Carnageadg1034 said:
Its more or less a upgraded FlatOut 2

Game is kinda arcadey if you are okay with that. Lots of diffrent modes, crash crashes with tons of destructions, your player ´(driver) can fly out the car

Definitely getting FlatOut this time.
I was also thinking about Making History: The Calm and The Storm, which sounds like a neat turn based strategy game, but I can't figure out whether the Steam release is the Gold edition. That's not in the title, but I don't see any info at the official forums.
Anyone have any insight?
edit: It's not the Gold edition, and there's no download patch to get it there. Screw that.

Just played about an hour of it and it's probably the hardest pinball game I've ever played.
When I get a high score, it doesn't even feel like I earned it. Like it's a game of chance or something.
Kinda feels like something is "off". Like I can't control where I want the pinball to go at all.
I'm hoping there is just an odd learning curve specific to this game, because it seems very solid in every other aspect.
Yeah, of course you can. Buying a Valve game at retail is 100% identical to buying a Valve game on Steam - the only difference is where you get the content from. Heck, you could simply input your CD key and download the entire thing from Steam if you wished to do so.iam.rass said:
Same holds true for all Steamworks games - Dawn of War II, Fear 2, and a few others.
But even "regular" games - say, Call of Duty 4. Even though Call of Duty 4 isn't a Steamworks game - you can't register a retail copy with Steam and download the game through Steam - everyone still plays on the same game servers. The only difference is distribution/activation method.
Same as, say, Burnout Paradise on PS3.

The retail version is the exact same thing. You don't even need to pop in the disc if you don't want to, although it does ofcourse speed up installation.
Edit: God damn it, mere seconds too late!
It's still $50.MNC said:Steam is 30$ as well
Just as a precaution, Big Score Pinball has a recurring crash that will close out the game and disable the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del).
The only way to fix it is to edit registry settings. A pain in the ass.
Happened to me on both of my computers, within the first 30 minutes. Just connected the dots earlier today.
I wouldn't suggest anyone purchase the game until they patch it. Actually, for $2.50, you could go ahead and buy it and then just hope they patch it. :lol
It's a really fun game, but it's too much of a hassle to edit registry settings every single time the game crashes. (Which seems to be every single time you run it, around 30 minutes in.)
