Nice, thank you! Looks like I'll pick up Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Darkspore by the end of the month.

Pardon my ignorance but with Amazon direct downloads (ie Bulletstorm), how are the speeds??. Can one save the installer?. I wonder as well for Origin games? (have about 4 ive yet to download and try lol).

I don't know about Origin games, but the speeds are decent and you can save the installers (at least of the games I've downloaded) to be installed later. Of course, some of the games may be required to activate, but as long as you save all the data inside the download folder you should be okay.

Not sure if this stacks with sales.

Has anyone bought Precursors from GamersGate ? Does it come with Starforce ?

For those waiting on it, Crysis 2 deal on Amazon is now live. $10 base price, $5 with promotional coupon if you have any from the holidays.

Yeah it does but it doesn't do anything to your disc drive. At least, it hasn't for me.

As far as I know it's the "new" tame Starforce. Not that horrible hardware breaking version.

It worked fine for me. The problem is that the game itself is badly broken. Bugs everywhere.

Thanks for the info guys .

other : What's wrong with the GamersGate downloader ? I'm trying to download Batman AA GOTY , but the downloader always stops .

Several people reported download problems after the recent site downtime. Try again after a while, and/or contact GG support.

Amazon has Crysis 2 for $9.99, $4.99 with coupon.

Is it worth it? I generally would wait for Steam to have it on sale, but they took it away some months back. I never played the original Crysis btw.

Also, as always, link has referrer.

Oh hey it turns out they patched out the GPU hash a while ago but you need to have installed the patches for it to work so there you go testers not patching is the problem

Just read about that. I'll still pick it up when it's cheaper and on Steam/GG though, got a massive gaming backlog here that includes Dawn of Discovery ;)

DoD has an achievemt for 800 hours of playing :-). And I think you could get this without playing a mission twice OR starting an endless play. That game is awesomely brilliant (as is Anno 2070).

Btw, Crysis 2 is "Origin ready" and can be redeemed
