I trust Xelios will pull the weight in honor of Based Cheers Tony.
It hurts so bad. Why did we get LA Noire instead of RDR again?

Because LA Noire was far easier for them to port.
Supposedly RDR required such a butchering of the Rage engine on consoles that stitching together a PC port would be a long and costly endeavour, but I find this incredibly dubious considering Rage was built from the off with the X360 in mind.

Thank you very much, Visualante2!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I dunno, considering how quickly you tried painting me as a gritty-art Broseph Stallin, it appears this concocted person may be as real as a Republican's fantasy Welfare Queen.

Played it on PS3 last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it, even got a platinum (took around 20h) and I don't really go out of my way to collect trophies.
Had a tad longish load times though. Every time you collect a gold brick you have to wait 30 seconds for the game to save. If you collect all gold bricks you'll be standing and doing nothing for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
If you like platformers and lego games, go for it. It's the best lego game I've played.
They are certainly decent quality t-shirts (well the Axe one is!) and don't shrink in the wash. They fit just like regular t-shirts I think.
Come now, I was just trying to have a friendly discourse on a game I found decent enough.
I was honestly just trying to find a legitimate reason as to someone would find Sanctum boring. In the end, it doesn't matter too much because it did well enough for the team to put out a sequel.
Tony hasn't posted a master list just yet, however he has said that this Sega pack will be $10.
I hope Tony has been beefing up Amazon's Steam-related catalogue over the past few months as the sale earlier in the year was somewhat underwhelming.

Nice pack, I only need the cave!
Same, it's an awesome deal but I really hope The Cave will get a huge discount on its own because it's the only one I'm missing from the pack (and I'd really like to play it too, now that's weird).

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Friendly discussions generally don't include fabricating opinions.
I think the reasons for disliking it were pretty well outlined.
It's boring because the game does not significantly change from the first minute to the last minute. It is just a stream of monsters that takes little thought to effectively dispatch. There isn't a terrible amount of choice in how you layout the grid. The gunplay isn't good (not terrible, but simply "there"). The art is the least of its worries, as it is also just simply "there."
At this point I'd even take a GTAIVesque port of next-to-zero effort; at least then I could wait 8 years and bruteforce 60fps.
Reading over the last page, these are the first real reasons, along with what hoostrax offered up in the way of criticism.
Totally more constructive than maligning it with comparisons to time spent in borderlands and dead island.
Sorry for the offense though!
that and damage control since Team Bondi were actively caving themselves in at the time.

The original was always M-rated. Apparently the ESRB has only given out the AO rating for violence alone twice, once for Thrill Kill, the other for Manhunt 2.

Good to know. Cheers.
If you're a fan of the earlier games in TT's Lego series, sure. It's really just "more of the same" albeit with a Batman skin.

Sonic transformed will be $7.49. Does anyone know if you can split screen 2 player that game?
Trading Cards page is up

Seems Valve is open to the idea of making a meta-game that can be played with the cards. Finally, something to occupy the void left by the departure of Steam Chess!

JaseC, it seems that now you have to play the games you buy. I hope you can survive this.

Yep. You can also play online together.
At present the applicable games are few so I think I'll be okay for the time being.
ok so you join the group and they'll send out invites, is that right?
Also this seems like it will pretty obviously be part of pre-order bonuses for games, pretty smart now that they haven't really been offering TF2 items with pre-orders and Dota2 is still technically in beta

Yes. First come, first served.
Thats awesome. Thinking about getting rid of my Dual Shock 3 + Motion in Joy and switch to the XBox controller instead.

Ok, I'm offering Dota 2 copies for trading cards. I'll consider myself extremely lucky if I get one this way, but it won't hurt trying.

I still don't understand it but hey whatever man.
The thing that bugs me about this is that it's restricted to specific games. I know that they claim that they will be expanding it to more games but I don't envision a situation where every game on steam will be capable of earning these cards, in a similar way that not every game has steam cloud or achievements.
With over a 1000 games on steam, and unlike most steam users I do have an intention of playing as many of these as possible over time, so it seems completely counter intuitive to the concept of steam sales and whatnot to make these elements essentially "grind bait" for a select handful of games.
Obviously it's early days but if they are going to reward people for using and playing games on steam, award them for everything not being hardcore about a select few. I just hate the idea of playing hundred of hours of different unique and varied games while losing out because I'm not playing ctf_2fort for the umpteenth time.
