I'm not sure if these are correct, but the names Fray and Lone Survivor were added to the registry. It could be related to these games: http://www.lonesurvivor.co.uk/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=8xD-HR6rfC0. I can't be 100% sure.
Lone Survivor seems to be getting great reviews and press. Fray looks interesting, but still pretty rough (still in Alpha).

Activision's handling of Prototype 2 is baffling. They were talking big a month or two ago about how it's going to "own" April, and how they're expecting it to double the sales of the original, but the original was a deeply divisive game and they have seemingly done nothing to explain to people why this one is better. And, like you, I have seen no advertising for it at all.
Demo was pretty meh... I will pass.
I don't think I'll have time to play AoE Online before the discounts end, but looking at the £9.99 All in Wonder pack, it seems to include everything except the cosmetic stuff. So am I essentially buying the complete full game for £9.99?
Or are there still some other forms of in game currency or items I'd have to buy if I didn't want to wait to progress, as you have to in some other F2P games?

Beyond missing out on purely cosmetic items, yes.
I forgot the game even existed.
Well the PC version was delayed to July and in terms of advertising the only thing I'm seeing are the Gamestop commercials for the game advertising preorder dlc.

Why doesn't Scarygirl have any proper resolutions? 1280x1024 is the max, no 16:9, what is this 2001?
Hm, I'd like the Xotic key and I have a spare Lucid one. PM me if still available.

If you want 16:9 you gotta play on consoles, duh.

Damn, I should have thought of that.
Console gaming wins again.

I thought that a port of an Xbox game would at least have the same resolution options as the Xbox version. What a fool I was.

Damn, I saw someone post about that on the Steam forum but forgot to say something here
And guys, Lucid isn't worth the trouble. Trust me.
Found out why it crashed for me... My monitor Res is too high 2650x1600, it wont down sample
Overall AVOID THIS GAME, No high res support and keyboard only

Make sure the games are listed as being activated on Steam before you buy. None of the GOG games activate on Steam. Think of GOG and Steam as digital distribution services that compliment each other.

thx foo.
both were taken only 1 post.
Thanks for the freebies anyhoo...much appreciated here. win,lose or draw
Free is free is free, Stallion Free. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
Even if Lucid isn't worth playing (haven't played mine yet, can't say), it's still one more on the backlog. Can't say fairer than that.

Checking the registry. I see Homefront Ultimate Edition (...) it comes with all the DLC and Metro 2033.
There's also an Indie Adventure Pack w/ Gemini Rue, Jolly Rover, Tiny Bang Story, Machinarium and Lume.
Blades of Time and DLC is also on it's way. Google says it'll be out on the 18th.
Botanicula is coming as well.

Blades of Shut the Fuck Already is being ported to PC? Buying day one. Wait, the 18th of this month?
Vic, I don't know if you peruse this thread, but Gaijin's releasing this on Steam, thank you.

Just wrapped up Warp and my god that last boss was horrible. It was like all the issues of the game wrapped up into a 1 minute segment that you get stuck repeating over and over until you succeed.
The game has some really neat ideas, but the devs completely fail to understand how balance this type of game. See Portal understands that in a puzzle game the player wants to experiment so it doesn't punish you for it. In Warp I never wanted to experiment because I would most likely die and then have to go back to a checkpoint and possibly rewatch part of a cutscene. The checkpoints were just far enough apart and the deaths came so easily that it became irritating.
Graphically the game is kind of rough. 60 fps can only be achieved through fixing the ini file and the have some fuzzy-ass filter over the visuals. The art in the game sort of combines Portal with TF2 and it does work pretty well.
I just wish that the devs had either spent more time playtesting the game or that a better dev had used this concept.

Blades of time.. is that the action/slasher with the over the top scantily clad chick with unrealistic proportions barely covered with impractical and completely useless looking armour?

Yes, although that could apply to any number of games.
Might as well just buy Metro 2033 on its tod, it's about a hundred times the game that Homefront is. Seriously, Homefront is short and shit, don't bother.
I had to Youtube footage of this game, since the only thing I'd seen of it was a quick glance of the box cover in my local Grainger Games. I like how, when you looked at your compass, you also got a generous helping of animated sideboob. Classy.
And at least Lara Croft and Samanosuke from Onimusha knew when to shut up. And had better hair.

What's hilarious about Blades of Time is that it looks like the copious amounts of narration by the protagonist was an addition made during localisation.

Blur is a fucking ghost town. Sucks. It was fun for a week, everyone who got it for five bucks already moved on I guess.
Not only that, you can buy DL games from Amazon US (with a couple of exceptions, Dead Island is one I think) and register them to your european Steam account. They're having a huge sale right now. I myself have bought Sonic Generations, Dungeon Siege 3, Metro 2033 and Red Faction Armageddon. You can also buy DL Steamworks games from the awesome greenmangaming.co.uk, they have quite a few promotions and sales.
You mean no 16:10???
You can buy games through Amazon.com outside of the US?

Yes, you simply need to have US address as your default one when making a purchase. Pick something in tax-free state and you are good to go.

But it applies so particularly well to this one.
This.... is amazing. The more you know.
More so than Code of Princess?

Hey, I'm from Chile and I was able to buy some of those games. Try it, you just need a fake adress and of course, an international credit card.

Neat. Nice to just see games pop the hell out of nowhere every now and then (although it looks like it was at least announced for pc a bit ago). At the very least I hope it's just an average character action game, the few console reviews out there look to be leaning that way.
If your card works for any internet purchases then you're good to go. I'm from Monterrey and I'm using Google's HQ address with my usual card. Voilá.But if i only have a debit card of Mexico?
