Can't pull the trigger on Sonic. Someone sell it to me.

I bought it and have been enjoying it so far, one thing I can say is that keyboard controls feel kinda wrong to me. If you have a pad, use that.

Worth a purchase easily.

Also it runs great on even bad hardware. It's a damn well optimized PC port.

It stutters sometimes with me which is strange as my PC can play most games on high. Probably a setting in the game or a driver issue.

Hmm. I don't have the greatest hardware and I can run it perfectly. I just have an old Radeon 3650hd and run it maxed. I'd bet on driver issue too for you. That's the one downside to PC gaming. With so many configurations and drivers something may work flawlessly for one person and run like shit for another when they even have identical hardware.

Hell my Achilles heel is shadows for example. I can run things maxed but have to have shadows set to minimum.

I'm just catching up with the objectives from the last few days, and I'm up to the Renegade Ops one. Apparently, I need to purchase the Coldstrike dlc, but I can't find any dlc for the game on the store. Is the dlc not available in the UK? Any way around this?

Might leave it installed beyond the Christmas achievement hunt. Not too keen on the Anime style and every character having huge boobs.

OP says Skyrim is 75% off on the 26th, but its listed at $59.99 while all the other 26th sales still have a bit of time left. Misprint?

I want to purchase Bastion.

Should I purchase Bastion?

If you enjoy a good narrative and an amazing soundtrack, yes. I would highly recommend it at 5 dollars.

Doesn't seem to be available in the UK, no dlc is listed on the game's store page, and there is no dlc link for the game in my library like other games that have dlc

Considering Farcry Collection, Bulletstorm, and Bastion. Gonna wait and see what today's daily deals will be before I pull the trigger. Really hoping for Darksiders to go on sale.

Can someone help me get Sonic, I don't have enough credit, it is night and i can't recharge until tomorrow :[ I want two copies of it.

I will paypal (or gift you a game of your choice within the same amount) tomorrow. I know this sounds scam-ish but this is the only way for me to not miss the Sonic deal.

well, unless it will go into a daily deal again in the next days :X

Anyone know how to get the AI War achievement? I've tried using the save game from the Wikia page but it doesn't quite have 30,000 ships lost and seems to be taking ages for anything to happen, even when I sped it up to maximum.

I did with a tutorial video. Not hard really, just the UI is a bit impenetrable. Also, it takes around 20 or so minutes to lose those ships.

The main idea is to find the AI planet and auto-make ships and send them through the wormholes. It helps to have like 25 or more shipyards, and at the beginning it also helps to have more than 30 engineers for fast shipyard construction. You can also speed up the game with plus and minus.

It doesn't work if you don't create a new profile, it happened to me too. Just create a profile named "Kai" or something (it should say in the Wikia) and load the save game. In a few minutes the achievement should pop up.

Is Rock of Ages crashing for anyone else?

My and my brother both bought it as it's a daily deal, he's told me it keeps crashing to desktop when he tries to load Tutorial 2. Mine's half way through downloading now to see if I have the same problem.

Would love DOTA 2, I don't have much though! A couple of 25% off Valve coupons, 50% off Beat Hazard complete and 3 pieces of coal :/

I thought the new deals were supposed to come up now? Oh well, I suppose it give me once last chance to appeal for Bulletstorm. I cannot purchase it as it is locked, so if anyone would be willing to buy it for me i can offer any similarly priced game in return.
