Does Lara Croft: Guardian of Light have online coop? I think it was not available when it came out, but they wanted to implement it. Or that it was really crappy, not sure. Anybody knows something about this?

Yes, there is co-op. It's a good game.
 
I highly recommend Audiosurf at that price.

Cities XL is really tempting. I've been eyeballing it for a while now, and almost got it when it went on sale at D2D.

Dead Rising 2 for 20 bucks? Get the fuck out of my Steam Sale.

A quick eBay search shows me:

Dead Rising 2 (Xbox 360, 2010) BRAND NEW REGION FREE - $22.98 with Free Worldwide shipping

You know, the version that comes with a box, manual, CD, transport fees, stocking fees, seller profit margins...


yea, but the pc version is 60fps/1080p, etc.

aka, better.

Sanctum is an overlooked game. It's a fun twist on tower defense, and can be played multiplayer! It gets my recommendation.

Risen is a mandatory purchase.

I know I shouldn't encourage Capcom but I've been waiting to pick up Dead Rising 2 since launch. Is it worth the $20?
It was less than that at launch. Do not encourage their shitty practices. This isn't a sale; it's a fucking insult.

They're giving you the privilege of paying more for a game than when it first came out a year ago.

Not all the content from 1 yet. You have to wait. Valve time...

Sorry, didn't mean to misinform. I remember significant L4D1 content being available in 2. I just assumed it was all the campaigns. And also by game mechanics I don't mean the major mechanics. Both games have the same set of rules, but there are subtle differences in the mechanics of the combat that play a very large role in my mind in the differences between the games. It feels to me like Valve thought L4D1 was too easy so in order to increase the difficulty they made melee attacks less accurate/effective and gave zombie pathing/dodging some cheats. In 1 I can speedrun and can plan several steps ahead of exactly how I am going to blitz through areas. In 2 there doesn't seem to be reliable patterns. I can plan what my next steps are but there is inevitably a melee strike that misses that should have hit, or some magic zombie that appears out of nowhere to stop me etc... Both are great games.

I meant the one with Chun-li and Laura Croft. >_>
Lara Croft, not Laura.

Nothing today. :(

Capcom is really silly.
I would've buyed Dead Rising 2 at a lower price or SF4 if it was the Arcade Edition, but neither SF4 or DR2 at that price is worthed, for me.
Same goes for Resident Evil 5 a few days ago.

Yet, it shouldn't be anywhere near 20 bucks on a Steam Sale.
20 bucks should be it's regular price. Specially when a sequel was already announced!

Tomb Raider Anniversary for $2.50 is pretty cool. I already have it on PS2 though.
I haven't played Underworld, but I dunno if I want to pay $7.50 for it.

Dang... Rift for $9.99 with a free month sub... that is a really good deal, the monthly sub is $15!
You will have a lot of fun romping through the content for 1 month even if you do not continue afterwards. It's a really fun game.

Yes or no on Risen?
Absolutely. Made by the same dudes as gothic 3. It's the best gothic game there is (until Risen 2)

CecilRousso said:
Nah, the demo didn´t feel right, and it comes with silly DRM.
The demo isn't updated with the actual game. Not a lot of demos are.

Nothing for me today, so I'll pick up Eschalon Book 1 & 2 (highly unlikely these will see daily sales... if they do, oh well) and Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 off of GoG.

What the hell? It launched at 39.99. What are you talking about.

Also Dead Rising 2 is a lot of fun on PC. Great co-op.

Tomb Raider seems like a good deal. I'm tempted to pick up C&C4 as well, but I'm not sure how active the multiplayer still is for that game?
