Looks like Trine also has Steam achievements, for those who care.
Looks like I'll be holding off on Trine until it goes on sale. I jumped all over that HOMM V deal. Does anyone know if the expansions change the core game (example Titan Quest) or can I just download the first one and start playing it without worrying about downloading all three?

Even for the people who want Messiah, the 19.99 package is a bad deal. Just buy the HoMM5 pack for $12.99 and then DMoMM separately for $4.99 and save $2.
Buying the HoMM5 pack. I've been waiting for that to go on sale for awhile, and at 67% off the already discounted bundle price, it's a steal. I got Messiah as part of the $10 Ubisoft Classics pack a few months back, so I'm glad I don't have to re-buy it.

Also Monkey Island Special Ediiton is hitting Steam. Including the original. Coming as well as Starfighter for those who care.
I just played the Zeno Clash demo...I think it starts from the beginning of the game.
Not sure what to think to be honest.
The first person combat is cool, but is the whole game just versus battle after versus battle with enemies?
It was weird how fighting game portraits would pop up before a battle. I know this is an indie game but the story is embarrassingly bad. Not just the storyline itself, but the voice actors who portray it. This is the type of bad you don't want friends or family to see.
Combat is cool, but everything else not so much. I'll have to think it over whether I want the game or not. Have through sunday!

Not sure, supposedly Capcom was looking at released Bionic Rearmed but no word. Regarding Tropic, not sure either.
I recently beat Dark Messiah, having gotten it in the Ubisoft pack.
For $5, I'd recommend it. The game's quite flawed, but it's unique and still of moderate quality.
I think I might go back and play it with cheats to unlock all the skills. The fun is really is blasting the floor with ice, so orcs run up the stairs, slip on a patch of it and slide off the edge of a cliff... Or setting explosive traps that trigger, sending piles of crates crashing down on their heads...
Opening up all the variety offered by the skills earlier in the game would make it fun to play through a second time.

Pre-ordered Trine and got Shadowgrounds. Is there any way to run it at 1920x1080?

Alpha Prime for £1.49, awesome XDDark Stalkers said:
I tried this out on my old pc and while it ran semi-ok I passed on spending £9.99 on it, then I saw it for £6 in a store and passed on that too, time to buy from steam!

I love HoMM5, my favorite in the series (that's saying a lot). I bought the pack a few months ago before it was on sale and couldn't be happier with the purchase. I bought Dark Messiah of Might & Magic this weekend for $5... I played quite a few hours on Friday and can't see where any of the hate comes from - the game is majorly fun with very rewarding combat, especially compared to other first person RPGs like Oblivion.
I want to play through the game again already with a different skill set. Right now using daggers/bows and having a great time sneaking around, one-shotting enemies left and right with headshots and back stabs and then getting into epic dagger battles with big cleaver wielding Orcs.

I don't think Shadowgrounds supports widescreen resolutions. You might be able to force the resolution by editing the config file but I doubt that the aspect ratio will play along.Baloonatic said:

Wow, I hope that's true.
In related news, I liked what I played of Shadowgrounds a few days ago.

With the meridian4 sale going on, Shadowgrounds Survivor can be had for $7.49. Does anyone know if it's the tits or not?

I am trying to decide between ARMA2 and the Novalogic everything pack which has Includes: Delta Force Xtreme 2, Delta Force, Delta Force 2, Delta Force Land Warrior, Delta Force: Task Force Dagger, Delta Force: Xtreme, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, Delta Force Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre , Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising, Joint Operations: Escalation, Armored Fist 3, F-16 Multirole Fighter, F-22 Lightning 3, MiG-29 Fulcrum, Comanche 4, Tachyon: The Fringe
What do you guys recommend?

The big appeal of most of those Novalogic games is the multiplayer, all of them have dead multiplayer communities so it's not really worth it. The single player is pretty balls in most of those.
ARMA 2 has people playing since it's new, you'll probably get a lot more out of it.
I bought the Shadowgrounds 1&2 deal for $9.99, having a blast playing through the first one. Sadly, it only supports same-machine co-op, I would have loved to play this with a buddy over the net.
*edit* not sure if the second one, Survivor, supports net play, haven't installed that one yet, waiting to finish the first.

Man, that package is just... Something else. A lot of the stuff there is questionable, but it's weirdly questionable. These games look interesting, intriguing even though they're bad. Plus it's a buttload of stuff that's not FPSers. Heck, the variety of games you're getting is pretty good.
Vigil - Blood Bitterness for example. It looks like it's ripping off Half-life Amen (the best singleplayer Half-Life singleplayer mod out there) and it would be worth checking out.
Then again all these titles are like $2.50 and you could pretty much cherry pick for cheap.

Most likely its an error since there is no pre-purchase option.
Javaman said:
Sort of.
Make manual saves with CTRL+L at critical points.
Just be careful. Keep your heat low, have lots of social minions mentally weakening agents, and keep your high heat rooms deep in the back, and have low heat rooms up front. A good tip is to separate the low heat and high heat portion of your base with a long twisting hallway with lots of doors, which really slows down agents giving you ample opportunity to mentally weaken them.
Personally I don't mind occasionally losing because you learn a lot and I find the game fun to replay. I didn't commit to a base/plan until I restarted 4 times testing things out.
