Oh sounds neat. I haven't played a memorable god game in a long time. Since Black&White? (haven't tried From Dust yet)
Looks nice, I put in my wishlist when it's available

Don't worry, indie devs like EA wouldn't stand for it.
You should (with a 360 pad though), it's very good. Could have been so much better, but still...
Are we getting a "bloody" JaseC Avy? I hope so.
I did make one from the first batch of stills that were released last year, however the scene is missing from the trailers. Pity there's no shot of Saoirse's character basking in the bloody waterfall as that would've been great.
This works for me on multiple levels. 10/10.
Does anybody know if buying Resident Evil Revelations on GMG gives you the Pre-Order bonuses on Steam? I'll guess not, since you only get a key for the game AFTER the game is released, right?
Your guess is correct.
Edit: To clarify, even if you did receive a key pre-release, it wouldn't be considered a Steam pre-order. You need to purchase via Steam to receive the rewards.
Ordering from anywhere other than Steam doesn't give you Steam's bonuses. Sometimes GMG will list the same bonuses, though.

I would be up for doing that.
If anybody is interested just let me know and we can save some $$$s

Edit: I am from Europe and I went with the 4-pack directly on the dev website. Each copy of the 4-pack has cost me 8 euros. If you want one copy from me, it is okay, yet I feel this would not be the best price because of the paypal fees + foreign exchange. All included I believe it would cost something like 11 dollars.
Hey guys, I have some spare keys for whoever would like

Okay a friend of mine has a small issue.
He bought Dead Island from GMG but for some reason it won't activate, saying it isn't available for his region (Switzerland). The store page doesn't make any mention of that and GMG support hasn't gotten back to him after sending two support tickets. I suggested to him that if they still fail to resolve this he could try to activate it via an US VPN using Spotflux or Tunnelbear but still wanted to check with you guys. He should be safe from Gaben as long as he doesn't buy any games that way, right?

Didn't they ban people who activated a Russian serial through Steam in the US? Or am I not remembering correctly.
A random thought but did he use a proxy to buy from GMG? I've seen people end up with US region locked keys because they use a US proxy to get cheaper prices.

That would be troublesome, I hope it's you misremembering.
No, he didn't, wouldn't even know how

They just took the games away.
Worms Revolution Free Weekend?
Yep

I believe you can "like" the CoH facebook page for a beta invite.
General impressions seem pretty solid regardless from what I've seen. I played the beta for a bit, but I'm cluesless with CoH, so I didn't really know what I was doing I remember when I bought this retail on day one and sold it two-three days later. 7,50 is still way too much imho, but it could be worth it for 5$ or less.

lol Valve. Nothing can make me repurchase Spore.

Ah, thanks for that! I checked that page out, but they want full access to your facebook profile. Understand it's a give and take thing, but that seems to be asking a lot. However, thanks for the feedback, I think I'll check out some youtube clips and see how much has improved on the original CoH.

Remember, Spore is capped at 30 fps and I was never able to find a way to unlock it.
I can't check the prices right now, but the Portal games are always cheaper in South America. So if you have a friend over here, you can get them for less.
The discount didn't kick in yet (not in Brazil anyway). It's still showing as the equivalent of U$16.99 for the game.

So is Worms: Revolution. It's a bigger bummer than I imagined it would be.

We just added Steam Cloud support to all of our games on Steam (Windows version only) this morning.
And all of our games are still on sale for $0.99 if you're missing any in your collection (or want some cheap, high quality gifts):

There's no FPS cap.

Even though Worms doesn't have an FPS cap. It's still a poorly optimized game that runs like garbage a lot of times.

It uses frame doubling for the foreground (where the action takes place), probably due to the physics. So that portion runs at 30fps effective. But the background runs at a full 60fps. Unless they patched that really recently.
Copy and paste the line; the space is breaking the URL. It should read http://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Zeboyd Games
I figured you could just "like" the page, get your code, activate it, and "unlike" it after? *shrug* I did that when PC Gamer did the same thing.

Probably, but I'm sure that'll give them enough time to take any information they want. I'm just being overly arsey!
