Interesting, will keep an eye on it, rarely seen anyone talk about this game :eek:

Ya they did poorly.

I only played them because my mother saw the first game and blind bought it from a Staples, knowing I like fantasy, when it came out.

Staples is an office supply store that stocks like 6 PC games lol.

The game is great, but the developer is dead to us (free to play stuff now) and the steam version is not patched correctly. still, one great game.

Not their choice. They went bankrupt and were bought by another company.

Happy to see people enjoying Ys Chronicles, played it for the first time a few months ago last year, and found them to be really fun games. Second one especially.

every sale I feel like buying Mount & Blade collection, fully aware that I will never play any of them, just, as a PC gamer, I feel like I should own them >_<

what the fuck is wrong with me

Warband is great. It's capable of some really amazing gaming moments - riding into battle wearing a War Mask and watching your troops run wild on the enemy, storming forts solo, the player character always going "very good", no matter what the news is, getting married and beating the shit out of other suitors to win a lady's hand, etc.

So good.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
My first giveaway of 2014 should be something special, I thought to myself.
And what's not better to give then a game which made me personally grow in love with adventure games and is one of the reasons videogames are my hobby.
Absolutely love this game. Especially the last three episodes. :)

Exploring the office in every episode might be a bit repetitive for some players, but there's so much different hidden stuff in every episode's version of the place. Otherwise, play one every month. They take about four hours each.
Brilliant soundtrack, too.

Anyhow, have fun, good luck and once again: happy newyear!

Been playing about 15 hours of AC 4: Black Flag and I have to say its awesome. The sensation of freedom when sailing across the sea is great!

Holy fuck that giveaway :O

I have a fairly shit PC so I usually refrain from entering too many raffles here, and only for cheap games that I really want, but entered for these. I have Origin but missed/didn't have the money for the other two yesterday.

Does anyone here know if the CD key in the physical box of "007 Legends" activates on steam, as its not on the list on the steam website, but saw a couple people say it did work for them on various forums.

Anyone here tried it?

Hmm, thanks for answering! Seems like it won't be fun if I just want to play on my own. I even found it strange because JaseC have put around 8 hours in this game, it looked suspicious! :p

Haha, I think I accidentally left it open when idling for cards.

It does. You also get the Skyfall DLC.

Zafir, thanks for that giveaway. I had no idea about Limbo or Bastion, checked them out, and they look really interesting. So if I don't win, no problem, I've added them to my wishlist. I really like the artwork in Bastion.

It's really fantastic. I wish it were a fuller fleshed out pirate game but it's close. I enjoyed it a ton, despite hating AC games.

To ring in the New Year I'm giving away a copy of Cthulu Saves the World and Breath of Death 7 I've had for a while. They're fun JRPG-styled games by Zeboyd, feel free to enter for both if you want.

Let's see if this works:

OH MY GOD SEKS IF HAVING A FIRE...GIVEAWAY! Last chance of getting snowglobes to make badges for free! No trading needed! Anyone that doesn't claim these by the end of today means I'll probably put them on the market for a desperate bid of getting money off them.

If I hadn't just finished levelling up my sale badges I probably would have entered to save myself a little bit of money. (I also bought most of the promo items I needed, up to but not including the "precious" ones.) Come to think of it, I still haven't entered a giveaway even though I've given out over 600 keys*. Somebody do one for Barbie's Dreamhouse Party or something. ;)

* By my count. Hopefully I didn't forget to carry the one. ;)

Seriously, Valve? The first Foil drop I get is a card that's going to disappear tomorrow?


I guess at least it's selling for a couple bucks. Before I put it on the market, is anybody here trying to make a whole set of foils and need #7, you crazy people?

I am one to at least try all my games and not just let them idle for cards. Saying that, Postal 2 is beyond terrible, it's Bad Rats terrible.

So started playing Castle of Illusion. Game looks great and the art style has been treated just right with the transfer to 3D. But then I'd tried it in 3D Vision.... It's Glorious!!! Everything pops out the screen without having to alter the convergence at all plus the added depth to the characters and more over the stages really takes this game to another level in regards to aesthetics. Don't think it sold very well though as after just the first 3 stages I'm 8,000d in the world on the leaderboards. Though it seams to have some massive performance issues in 3d (1st boss fight my fps dropped to 45 on a 780!!!) but it's not officially supported.

I'm half tempted to pick up Duck Tails if it pops up again cheapish (though I'd rather a Quackshot port was in the works but beggars can't be choosy).
2 of The Cheevo/Trophy names in CoI HD are Quackshot and World of Illusion. The latter game is my childhood and I'd settle for an M2 port of it if not a remake in the same vein as this game.

GMG is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel now, most of the new deals are either shit or not steam keys. Put a fork on this whole sale season, for it is DONE.

I picked up the Game Maker Studio Pro last night - was drunk, and wanted to sleep so didn't spend much time thinking about it.

I go to take a look and it takes me a few minutes to find it as its not listed under games, and this is the first software I have purchased on Steam. I notice it has achievements, so go take a look at the list...

And it says I do not own the game :(

wtf?

Fuck steam for disabling trade when you turn off steam guard for a moment though :mad:

I have so many spares but can't sell or trade them!

All I need is 4 and 5 too :(
