Okay I went for the D2D Mass Effect Bundle. Now after downloading the entire 9.6 gbs twice it hangs at the very end and I get the message "Download Failed, No Mirrors Available." I don't understand! it finished downloading and then it can't find the mirror?! Am I doing something wrong? I wish I had waited for Steam to put ME2 on sale.

All arena, no single player story mode or anything. At this point, and I really hate to say it, it's probably not worth picking up.

I'm going to go ahead and agree. It's a great game, but the networking and community ruined it. I tried to get back into it and it was impossible. I'd hate to see what it would be like for someone new.

I suggest downloading League of Legends for free if you want to play a hero arena game. I loved Demigod but I actually liked LoL much, much more. I haven't played in months though, but keep meaning to get back to it.

Cryostasis on Amazon download looks like a good deal. For those who have played it am I going to be turned off by the heat system which made me never play Lost Planet past the demo?

I tried the demo for this but kept getting stuck trying to save my first guy, but I think that was from 2 annoying kids in my face.

Not sure if this'll work but Impulse currently has GalCiv2: Ultimate Edition (the one you'd want, with all expansions) for $9.99. I can't see it anywhere else on the site but on this page:

http://www.impulsedriven.com/galciv2ul

It seems to be on sale, haven't tried if it works (since I already own it), but in the basket it states the sale price.

Bridge Construction Set is awesome, and I've seen my son playing Bob Came In Pieces which looked fun. Haven't played the others, but an easy buy from me. Deserves its own thread I think...

Perhaps I just couldn't figure out the game's vagaries to satisfaction, but Kingdom Elemental is HARD AS HELL---nifty though in a freaky Real-Time-with-Limited-Pause Tower Defense kinda dealie, save instead of protecting a tower you try to kill everything without being utterly wiped.

I'd be utterly thrilled to ever see somebody do a video LP of just one possible strategy to demolish the stages bringing their worst....as there should be several.
