Any impressions on that Sherlock Holmes game? Never heard of it, but I'm intrigued.

I played it on the PS3 but the PC ver. would have better performance. It's a good Point n' Cick game, but I don't think you'll get MUCH replayability from it after beating it the first time.

You can buy from amazon if you put a billing address from the US on your account.

Buy some DLC that is dirt cheap and you get the $5 credit. In January you will be able to get Dark Souls for $13.

I read a few reviews in the meantime and it really sounds interesting. According to them, the PC version looks really good and you can freely switch the perspective between 'traditional' P&C and first person (first person only on consoles). Hmmm. I'm a sucker for all that Holmes lore, but 20€? I'm spoiled by all the sales lately. :/

If you play it more, you may change your mind. I feel there is a threshold of play time above which you start to get addicted to this game and its music, like Binding of Isaac.

I can see how for some it might become like playing Solitaire. I think that kind of game for me will be MTG.

The Steam version includes extra stuff? It'll be $12.99 on Amazon in January, so I was going to buy it there unless it got a huge discount on Steam.
Click to expand...
Not the steam version, but if you buy it in December, you get 3 items and the next content issue free. It's in their web.

They've turned their future story content into paid DLC. Starting with Issue 5 in January, non-subscribers will have to pay for the content packs. Like kami_sama said, buying in December just gives you the first one free. There will be built-in costs for this game if you intend to play it over the long term.

Hmm, Alpha Protocol at €2.62 even with the added Paypal tax it's good value! To get it on PC also or not ... decisions always decisions :)

No...

Dammit, I'm gonna break my cardinal rule for sales. Never buy a game I already have on console. Oh well.

Edit: Why is Alpha Protocol over 11GB?

Does GMG sell in $ when it says so even if you're in Europe?
Click to expand...

I think that depends where you live? If you live in UK/Europe, it will probably show up in pound/euro

I live in Israel and it's $ for me

Edit: I think I misunderstood your question ;o

I live in Sweden and some shows up in $ instead of € like in Steam and some shows up in £. Seems quite random.

If it shows up in dollars though that's what it will sell as right?

Steam always sell in € for swedish customers, you probably just click a link that changes your stores region (they end in /?cc=xx, where xx is the country which store you want to view).
GMG sell in $ for us swedes, but the rest I'm not so sure of.

Yes, they charge Swedish customers in $ most of the time. Some publishers insist on £ prices (EA), Bethesda games used to have prices in € but are now on $ it seems.

Watching some FTL gameplay videos and I have no idea what's going on.
I guess this is a game you just have to experience for yourself?

I guess I'll just wait for a bundle. Already bought several games lately that have been included in humble bundles and such shortly after.
Those bundles really messes with my decisions about games, they be too good dammit!

For those who doesn't know, Scoregasm for minimum $1 here: http://scoregasm-game.com/
Steam key and all.

Might wait for a bundle too.
