I have the first game on Xbox360 and really like it for some reason. I picked it up on the cheap and despite the horrible reviews have had fun with it. It's low-budget and cheesy but still fun, kinda like EDF2097.

Part 2 is also coming to North America thanks to a Canadian Distributor (can remember the name). But for sure not for US$ 17.99. I have the Xbox 360 version (German game) and it is fun (cheesy type of fan).

Yeah I found the crash time 360 demo fun, if I can find it for cheap I would probably pick it up.

Wow, I have been looking at picking up Company of Heroes, Dawn of War I or II, STALKER and Titan's Quest recently... After kicking myself about missing the previous Relic deal this just might be my ticket. Woo Steam weekend deals!

I've tried The Wonderful End Of The World demo, and since it's a complete Katamari Damashii rip-off I'm so going to buy the Aaaa(...)aaa + Tweotw deal! :D

wow that really kills the weekend deal a little while back :| ugh I'm beginning not to trust Steam

I'm only slightly disappointed. Got all the Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, and Dawn of War 2 games for $50 a few weeks back. Would have been nice to get Titan Quest, Soulstorm, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in there for another $25, but I couldn't care less about the rest.

I sort of prefer the smaller deals to tell you the truth (like droplitz for $2). While these mega packs are always going the absolute best deals, $75 is well out of impulse buy range. Even if it gets you 13 games.

Ubisoft just added Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for 10$, currently 10% off. They also made more of their library worldwide.

FUCK YES! I've been waiting for this forever since the retail version had Starforce. I have all the other SCs for PC except what everyone says is the best one.

Now if only my backlog weren't 25 games long...

I just saw Chaos Theory pop up on Steam when I turned on my computer this morning. I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I think I will pick it up later. I've never really played the Splinter Cell games other than a bit of the first one (which I bought on Steam a few months ago).

Save your money and clear the backlog. And you can use the extra money you save to drink away your sorrows when the Yanks get bounced in the LDS woooooooo!

Meh 25 bucks off all that doesn't seem like that big of a deal. All i would want out of that pack is all of CoH for about 10 maybe 15 bucks.

The big part is that DoW2 was previously not a part of it, so it's a good bonus considering it's only half a year old (and damn good).

Does Chaos Theory support widescreen 16:10? (1680*1050)
Click to expand...

The game supports widescreen (16:9 and 16:10) natively but I don't remember if it has that resolution specifically. You can definitely manually edit it, and I think the FOV needs to be edited as well to make it a proper Hor+ widescreen.

This link should help: Widescreen Gaming Forum

Chaos Theory is so tempting. I have a ton of other games to play, but I've heard nothing but amazing things about it.

Ugh...must...resist....
I'm probably going to buy it. Unless it's borked for Vista, even then I'm getting windows 7 within a week from MSDNAA

Are you guys sure Chaos Theory even supports Vista/Win7? The page makes no mention of Starforce, but its inclusion in the retail version meant it was never supported in anything but XP.

The store page says it works in 2000 or XP. No mention of Vista.

Could anyone answer this question for me regarding gift giving?

If a game comes out in America on one date and Europe another, can it be gifted by an American to a European over steam before its released in Europe? And will it work? I ask because this situation is coming up and it sucks :(

Usually when a Steam game is using 3rd-party DRM above Steam itself, it says so on the game's page (Crysis Warhead for example says Securom 5-machine limit). There's no such indication on the SCCT page.

It'll work and you'll most likely be able to play it on the date it is released in America, but that I can't say for sure.

Really liked The Wonderful End of the World demo and Aaaaa! looks fun, so I guess I'm biting. And getting Chaos Theory too, if it works on Vista.

It doesn't even a matter if a game is never coming to Europe, if it's gifted to you by someone from another region you can install and play it perfectly fine.

Colour me shocked, Chaos Theory on Aussie Steam...:D

Now if anyone has any experience running it on 64bit Windows 7 at 1980x1080/1200 I would love to know.
