Hey, Thanks for the advice. I've spoken to a couple of people and looked around and ended up settling on an AMD r9 270X. I was looking at the Geforces 750s and 660s (which were coming out at about £130), but as Flank said the R9 270X (also £130) was similar to a 760 I went with that...

Hi, It's been a while - I actually think it's been 4 years since I've posted here but I've always lurked. Anyway. I would be very appreciative of some advice as my PC seems to be on the edge of frame rate playability of XYZ game. I currently have the following specs, my gut feeling is that...

I don't know if you have yet but Steam doesn't include the v1.1 patch for some reason which is vital for Windows 7 (and I think Vista) users. Install that. It took me about a week before I realised this... Edit: My mistake, patch 1.02

Checks site. Average PC user purchase = $4.90. I paid $5 :-D Although I already own Braid and Machinarium. I wish that Steam would recognise this and give me giftable versions of Braid, Machinarium and VVVVVV. Oh well, it was still only $5 so I can't complain.

I got flat out asked in an interview 'Why do you have long hair?'. It was a telesales job, i.e. I wouldn't even meet any customers.

Just because they're named after the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2. Also, that's a female singer...

That's what I did with Crysis 2. I'm so glad that I didn't buy it through Steam.

£500? It's not exactly a life changing amount of money... I'll stick with my tetris thank you very much.

It also helps that both games were £1.79 or something like that, easier to take a punt at that price. Also microtransactions are easier on Steam as it's spending the correct amount of money rather than buying 1000 points for £8-10 or whatever it is - I had 200 points registered with my XBL...

I have pre-ordered one game in my life. FFX-2, and that was only because I traded in a load of games and they could only give me vouchers rather than a store card with credit and I knew that I would lose them. Terrible game...

Sam and Max if you consider each of the episodes as a separate game. I have the original Hit the Road from (Googles... 1993!? Damn I feel old!) 1993 as well as the 16 episodes that've been released over the past 5 years so that's 17 in total. If that doesn't count then it'd be Final Fantasy...

I bought Borderlands when it was on offer and the DLC pack when it was on offer, came to about £9-11ish. When the GOTY edition is on offer nowadays it's at ~£7.50 so I don't feel that hard pressed. I've got the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 so yes/no there. I had to buy the dlc (technically a...

So does this mean that when the game doesn't sell and batch #2 of the cartridges are made that they will take this function (or rather, lack of a function) out?

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware that they'd gotten rid of the always online thing. That's good to hear as, despite my original statement of myself always being online, a random spike could throw me off. My specs are as follows and I don't foresee an issue running the games:

Hi, As you lot will probably be aware, Steam is having their Summer sales at the moment and today's includes the Assassin's Creed games for: 1 = £3.39 2 = £5.09 Brotherhood = £14.99 All 3 = £16.99 Whilst at Uni I played a small amount of AC1 on my housemate's xbox 360 and found that the...
