Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I kind of want to buy Crysis 2 again, just to have it on my Steam account. I already bought it off Amazon and completed it. I think I'll wait for it to be sub-$10 though. It's a fun game so I'd recommend it to anyone at its current price.

I wouldn't buy Crysis 2, it's well done for what it is, I guess, but it's ultimately a pretty forgettable shooter. It abandoned the ambition of Crysis and Warhead's massive environments in favour of being more of a corridor crawler. It's not as on-rails as a CoD but feels pretty damned close at times. Beat it once, uninstalled it, haven't bothered to play it again.
I'd recommend Rage over Crysis 2, if only because of it's inventive arsenal.

What is this, I don't even
Quoting for new page plus new question: are expansions worth it? Since the Complete pack isn't really Complete, the expansions are in the Chronicles pack.
not to say the other games are bad but Yesterday is their latest one and its quite a different tone from the others. Got a lot of good buzz and some nice comments about the story. I'd say get Yesterday for sure.
You should buy all the expansions, as they do improve the gameplay a lot.

Start about 1986 and work your way up to about 1995. Then you are done.
Should've gotten the Secret of Monkey Island flash deal.
But dude, look at this. It's fantastic!
This was on my Photobucket too. Worth posting:

You might want to start from some more "hystorical" franchise, like Monkey Island, Broken Sword, Indiana Jones... Actually I really recommend Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, dated but still amazing to this day.
But Grim Fandango was released in 1998!

I would never use Origin like I do steam but I don't mind how the service runs.

Adventure game fans please help.
I'm thinking of getting the Pendulo pack but the only game I ever played was one of the Runaways, I hated the writing in it, found it to be dry and flat, like place holder text no one got rid of, have they got better with Next Big Thing and Yesterday?

Could everyone please vote for Batman. I was drunk when it was on sale before and missed it.

Didnt think I would like Trine 2 that much but its actually fun and looks really good. Not played Hard Reset yet but seems like it was £5 well spent

In the grand scheme of things Origin isn't terrible, it's easily better than Microsoft's or Ubisoft's malware/drm.
That isn't exactly a very high bar.

Haha. I have the triology on 360 already. I'll get it when it's cheap!
[edit] Real typo. Won't edit.

You should get all the extensions. Divine Wind improves the game greatly (that's the lastest one). Also, when you get a hang of the game, look up the Death & Taxes Mod. Makes a ton of improvements and has a better map.
We're on day 5 of 10 and there are three votes a day. I think you may be able to get the 20 badge.
I never hated GFWL it was just a little flamboyant. As they move stuff under the Xbox brand I can see it been a solid compeditor.

I swear I've voted on every one and I didn't get that...
Same here.
When the time is right I'll be building my Uplay collection too. I see the future where Uplay/Origin/Battlenet and whatever's next dish out exclusive content and even exclusive games. I'm not gonna try and fight it.

DR2: OTR was such a good purchase. It's so fucking fun even though I beat vanilla DR2 not too long ago. The sandbox mode justified the $10 price tag even more. I wasn't expecting it to be good. There are challenges with interesting goals and Survivors are out to kill you. I thought it would just be a simple "here's the game without a timer with nothing special. Have fun." I got so much more, though.
Yeah a lot of ours haven't activated. It's alright since it's just for a silly badge. If it actually means something them me and steam will have words.
