There is definitely a "may" about it. Everyone has to make their own choice but they should read the fine print before buying this game.

edit: Talking about Batman AA.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit my wallet!

GAF I need recommendations for

1. Prototype: I liked the original Crackdown. Will I like this? That's about all the experience I have with sandbox games.

2. Farcry: How is the series? Are all of them good or should I stick with one in the series and ditch the rest?

3. Killing Floor + L4D2: These games seem very focused on coop. If I want to play by myself, and am also not a big fan of FPS games should I skip them?


Batman AA auto bought.

Aw jeez. I already have a few videos posted, I should automatically get the ticket.

Guess I'll unlist one and relist it.

The DLC SHOULD be $7.49 though. But since we own GTA IV we can't just buy that (it's $20.09) so it still sucks.

Any particular reason to pick up both of the Left 4 Dead games? The pack is $7.49 for both, but likely I'll just play the second game, so there's no point in picking up both unless the maps and characters and such carry over.

You are dead to me if you don't get Batman AA GOTY edition for that crazy price.

Also does the icehancer mods work with GTAIV Steam version?

I hate their website's stupid new "access from a new computer" system. I have to do it every time I log into my desktop, which I do basically every day, and I haven't been able to log in on my phone for a while now because the popup doesn't work right(at first I could do it after downloading a new browser, but no longer).

Tried all morning to get Guild Wars but failed.

Someone tell me about Atom Zombie Smasher.
Click to expand...

Atom Zombie Smasher is a strategy/simulation game where the objective is to evacuate a city during a zombie apocalypse. There is a "grand strategy" map similar to the Total War games, from where you select mercenary squads and choose which areas of the city are the most strategically important.

The game proper is played from a top-down perspective - you'll see a bunch of little green dots milling about the map, and fuschia dots on one or more edges (depending on the difficulty of the map). You start by planting your mercenaries and selecting an evac site, then you just try to control the chaos. Any green dots touched by zombie dots are immediately zombie-fied and join the horde. It's all about strategically employing your mercenaries in the proper rollout to save as many people as possible.

At the end of each game day you and the zombies both get points, and the zombies expand into new territory based both on how many days have passed and how well you performed in the last section of the city.

It's a great game, completely unique, and I recommend it to any strategy game fan. Especially at three bucks, I paid full price and don't regret it.

It's the same price it was yesterday. Only the individual games have been discounted. And seeing as I can't mix my disc based base game with Steam based expansions, I feel royally cheated out of a deal here :mad:

I had this on my laptop. Seems like after you put in the code, you had to close and then restart Steam manually. Fixed it for me.
