    Not sure if anyone's interested, but I've got a copy of Beyond Good and Evil in my steam gifts.

    Anyone interested in trading, or just wanting straight up... D:

    Just a heads up, this game is Windows® 2000/XP (only) on Steam. Apparently some people are having success with Vista 32/64-bit, but Windows 7 is much more problematic if you can even get it to install. 2k/XP definitely have the advantage here.

    If you have an Xbox 360 or PS3, then you can grab Beyond Good and Evil HD on those platforms. "A full HD, re-mastered, version of the game was released on Xbox Live Arcade in March 2011 and on PlayStation Network in June 2011. It features improved character models, textures, and soundtrack. Achievements, trophies and online leaderboards were also added." src.: Wikipedia

    Just as a heads-up: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is going to be on sale for US$12.50 at GreenManGaming.com for 24 hours, starting a couple of minutes ago.

    Some of you might not have heard of them, but I've found them to be reliable. I bought DX:HR from them a while back, and I haven't had any problems. A word of advice though: stick to the games which need a Steam account to play, unless you want to download their software so you can play games.

    I'm personally not that interested in Space Marine, but others might be.

    I've been looking at GreenManGaming; they've been highly recommended as Steam key sellers for a few years now. Is there a way to follow GreenMan's sales? They have Twitter and FB, but I don't use either of those. I'd sign up for an RSS feed [ala GOG and Steam] or even a mailing list, but they don't seem to use them.

    Well, I use the /r/gamedeals RSS-feed. Not the optimal solution considering it covers pretty much every digital distributor, but easy to check up on. It's an alternative at least.

    So, anyone win anything? There was supposed to be some sort of draw, right?

    Not like I would have won anyway, but I made the mistake of buying Serious Sam 3(oh, sorry, two mistakes) and not adding some arbitrary game to my wishlist. Was left at nine games, so I didn't qualify when it mattered.

    They were giving out keys of Sniper Ghost Warrior and a few other games as part of a New Year's promotion along with another site. They got HAMMMMMMMERED and their 20,000 keys for the game vanished in minutes.

    Has anyone here played Cities in Motion? Any thoughts? The entire collection is $16 on GMG.

    Edit: Argh. Literally missed it by 5min. Noticed it on sale 5min after it had been $9.99.

    Deus Ex Human Revolution is $12.49 on GMG for any who are interested. For 24 hours from 10min ago.

    I saw that AOE3 is on steam and went like :awesome.

    But then I realized that I can NOT activate my Retail copy on it and I was like :(.

    Oh and I am wondering, will you guys be up for a DLP only Team Fortress night or something? I know that you guys used to play it earlier but I never got the chance.

    King Arthur II pre-order( I heard that the 10th is official release but I am not 100% sure) is 10% (35,99€) off and you can play the prologue now.

    Looks really promising.. no bugs, great detail with the troops, challenging battles (archers are weaker than in the first) and the prologue has a interesting story even if the end is somewhat depressing. Ah.. and it has flying creatures..like dragons..

    I think that this game could be something for those who like the Total war games but also want fantasy and a few RPG elements.

    I really, really hate the Australian prices. Dead Space 2 is still $17.50. I'd buy it for $5 in a heartbeat...
