But it's GAF Steamgifts Group Invites instead of Steamgifts Invite thread. Before, you needed an invite to access SG. But now it's public and the thread has turned into an invite thread for the specific GAF group on SG.

Edit: Sorry double post

Anyone able to provide a few impressions on Anno 2070? Is it worth the $25? Is it something similar to SimCity, but instead you have to gather resources, and build from there..?

I was happy in thinking Anno was some space game. Now, I'm debating on whether to drop 20 bones on it. *sigh*

I brought City Life 2008 because I wanted something like SimCity, but that game blows. Maybe I will just buy SC4.

Anno 2070 is a great game, my favourite game of last year in fact. I was a bit unsure at first about the setting, since I generally prefer settings like the ones for the previous games, but they really made it work well. Otherwise, the basic solid gameplay of the franchise is there with a few neat additions. Only thing I will say is that you need to be always online, I mean, you can play it in offline mode after the first startup, but you can get bonuses via events and all that jazz that only work if you're online, so...

True, it looks like an alright game, I've tried watching a few videos but it hasn't made me decide as to whether I want it or not, hence I need some updated impressions.

Can you still get more EA/THQ/2K $5 coupons, or has "2012" ended as far as getting more for that promotion?

Edit: Missed this: "Customers may use 1 coupon per account per publisher this means if you purchased 1 or 30 games from each publisher you are still entitled to/eligible for 1 credit from each publisher.".

So just booted Spec Ops (turret sequences on the beginning are terribad, developers: please don't do them) and I have no sound on the first pre-rendered cutscene.

Any ideas?

I liked it. Improved graphics. Decent exploration & puzzles. Some people didn't like it. It is good Crystal Dynamics style Tomb Raider.

and sadly it seems its the last tomb raider in this great style :/

Yes, had the same problem. Just reboot, and it should be fine afterwards. Well, the no sound during cutscenes part. It won't fix the turret sequence (which really wasn't that bad, I thought).

Thinking about buying KOTOR (played it on the xbox, but never finished it) and KOTOR II. Do they work fine on windows 7?

Maybe I should pick up Rayman as well...

Can't people lose their keys or get them revoked if you try to bypass it? Isn't it in the TOS somewhere?

Why does Saints Row 3 full package not include the bloodsucker and unlockables DLC? ;_;
Click to expand...

Probably cause those two dlcs permanently change the game. Bloodsucker dlc makes the main character a vampire and changes on of the moves into a blood sucking move that gives health back. Unlockables well unlocks some story rewards. Neither can be turned off or ignored after purchased.

Bloodsucker isn't in the full package? Nice, never sat well with me what it does to the main character.

I'm a little worried about that. Another Tomb Raider Underworld type of game would have been fine with me. Now if they manage to pull off a good Uncharted Raider, I'll be very happy. But you can't help but worry when people decide to mess with something that was already very good.

My main problem with Amazon is you have to use a credit card: Paypal is not a possibility for Amazon purchases. And my bank usually takes a few euros for the foreign exchange fees, while Paypal takes a lot less.
