I just got the email notification for that. svcks it only works for specific titles.

It does work on Bioshock Infinite, bringing it down from $60 to $42. Anyone know if that is a good deal? I was going to hold out until the summer sales started because the gameplay looks a little less than stellar. I'm sure the story is good and all, it's just the gameplay itself looks like it's a bit stale.

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite so much, I'm going to take a gamble with the season pass and grab it at 30% off.

Damn it, I bought Blood Dragon earlier with only the 20% voucher. Just my luck. :confused:

Do not buy Empire at War from steam, or else you will be unable to play it due to an error. When one tries to launch the game the error message: "Failed to contact key server will appear."

Trust me I purchased it this morning and I tried to play the game for the first time a little while ago, and it won't work.

This problem is currently a hot topic on the Steam forums:

No, buy it, and then wait til Steam gets more cd keys from the publisher. It's still a steal at that price.

Running out of keys happens occationally during sales. Im currently waiting on my Soul Reaver key from GG.

It svcks, but you still get to enjoy the cheaper price. Play something else in the meantime.

I went to GOG just to see what they were about and I was disappointed on a massive level.

The library, excluding TR(a few more) is a ton of games I have not played.

I was expecting to be reunited with a lot of old games I've played.

Hmm, can't decide. Tomb Raider or Uncharted 3?

For me it's a ton of wonderful games I have not played.

What games were you looking for? They have a http://www.gog.com/wishlist, so you can suggest or upvote some titles you're interested in.

They do have about 400 games in their collection, but its true that this doesn't remotely cover the classics. Though they do a great amount of stunningly amazing games, great sales, no DRM and every series has its own dedicated forum with stickies for first time players and patches( if you come across one of their games that isn't patched).

I personally recommend waiting for Heroes 3 to go on sale(or buy it for a measly $10) and proceed to lose days of your life.

Ok, so I overreacted a bit.

Yes, alot of the games I'm unfamiliar with as well. But if both GOG and Steam have a game I want, I always choose GOG. Why? Because their games are DRM free and are made to run on modern pc's.

I think Uncharted 3 is the better game. The controls aren't as bad as people pretend them to be. Tomb Raider is good but I'd say it's somewhere in-between Uncharted 1&2 in terms of quality. A bit too heavy on the QTE's.

Who was the first person who thought QTEs were a good idea? I want their head on a pike.

They're a good way of refocusing the player and hiding loading.
