What what in the butt? That's awesome.

Titan Quest Gold for $5 is awesome. It's a very solid and pretty Diablo clone, but with ancient Greek Mythology.

i dont like to have my games spread to different digital distribution platforms. steam is the only way for me if they dont want a monopoly they should work sth out between them.SamiRDuran

Metro 2033 and Dawn of war 2 for a little over 20 dollars is an absolute steal holy dear.

I'm not huge on digitial distribution...
But it looks like it's time to pick up Company of Heroes...

question: In DOW: chaos rising did they fix the co-op system and make it so that the player joining a host's game can keep all of the items and exp earned?lawlessx

You're joining the hosts' saved game not your own. Why would you be able to transfer the progress you made to someone else's saved game?

question, can you redownload games after downloading them? or are you stuck like with nvidia's website and can only download them once?UnArguably

You can on most "independent" DD platforms, but AFAIK THQ's and EA's own platforms don't allow this. I know Steam and Impulse allow it, GOG.com most certainly does.

I dunno about the US, but most of these games are already dirt-cheap in retail here in Germany, so unless you are that lazy that you can't leave the house to pop out to your local game store, or if you're so impatient that you can't wait one/two days for it to arrive from Amazon, I'd get it on DVD. More bang for your buck. DoW II is €13, CoH Gold is €10, Supreme Commander is €5 and Metro 2033 is €20. I'd rather spend a few euros extra and have a hard copy with a nice box. Digital Distribution is rarely cheaper, unless you count Steam's weekend sales, which are an attempt to market DD as being cheaper.

You missed S.T.A.L.K.E.R: SoC. Its $5.

As for the sale, I'm probably going to get Saints Row 2 and Company of Heroes.

It's super crappy, but you just burn off the installation files on DVDs. Still loathe it, but for $20 I picked up the Chaos Rising and Tales of Valor expansions. I like the idea of getting a few more months of life out of some games I've already spend 50+ hours with. subrosian

Good deal for those that didn't pick up the THQ pack off Steam i guess. But seriously, they only back up for two years?

Hmm. I'll try that right now.heretrix

[QUOTE="UnArguably"][QUOTE="heretrix"]That's why I'm going to register my CD keys on Steam.

Also, for the steamworks titles (ie DoW2+CR and SR2) you're essentially buying the game on Steam anyway.

Yes. It works. :Dheretrix

Damn. I thought 'US only' would have meant the usual 'US only, but Canada's cool too'. Guess I'll have to wait for the next steam sale to pick up Chaos Rising.

i already got almost all of those games on steams last sale, some great single prices though for people who didnt wanna buy a whole pack of games

WOW! That's a great deal. Now if only I had a credit card, or lived with my parents so they could give credit card !!! $$##

Bleh, I couldn't order from Canada, but I ended up buying from Steam because it got me excited to play a new game.

I actually looked at the THQ Store in detail today, and I couldn't stop laughing.

Most of the games there are now more expensive than their retail counterparts. To top it off, THQ charges $5 for the right to re-download. And then, they offer a service whereby you have a "backup DVD" sent to your home for another $10.

That makes it at least $20 more expensive than an equivalent retail DVD, which also has a nice manual and box.

Shocking.
