Damn, the new sale sucks! 10% off the overpriced modern warfare 2 DLC

Gifted L4D and Gmod to a friend and got Buried in Time for myself here. Now that was a deal.

I picked up 12 games, $3.89 US per game on average.
Bioshock
Indigo Prophecy
King's Bounty: Gold Edition
Men of War
Painkiller: Black Edition
Port Royale 2
Sacred: Gold
Space Rangers Pack
Star Wars: Empire at War Gold
UFO: Afterlight
I wanted the Max Payne bundle but it isn't available here. Avencast was tempting but the reviews weren't great and I'm not short on games to play.

Decent picks.

I bought 10 games, an average of USD3.87 per game... not bad when there's Activision games involved, huh?
-Zeno Clash
-Introversion Complete Pack - Summer 2010 (4 games)
-Call of Duty Pack - Summer 2010 (5 games)
And I already own The Witcher from a past sale... but they shouldn't had changed the price for it, it was only $6.79 and probably selling like water in the desert.
From who came the decision for the price to went up, to $13.39? Steam or the publisher/developer?
Thanks for the link, I've read all posts.
Indeed, two things that I love about GOG is not having regional restrictions and not having different prices for each region. :)
Well, I don't know how it was with Vivendi/Atari products, but I do know the Brasoft and Greenleaf products. I've also bought lots of those magazine+games' CD bundles, 'cause they were cheap compared to the retail games.
Brasoft had a good fame, yes... but suddenly they disappeared from the market; we, gamers, don't know what the hell happened with it. (I don't know the background story, like you probably do.)
I've heard the StarCraft 1 localization (and translation) was crap really, but the Max Payne 1 was really good... that guy which voiced Max got the right mood of the game. StarCraft 2 will be localized for Brazil, but I don't know who's doing it and which distributor.
I never bought a console game here too, I tend to import the games too... but I've seen some NC titles on stores. It's just the box in english and a white label containing the NC logo and bar code, that's their "localization process". (Or it was before, I don't know how NC is doing it today).
Indeed, it's not simple. Halo 3 was also localized, if I recall correctly.
I always do prefer the original sound and voices, always. The only thing I do like is the box in portuguese and subtitles not from Portugal's portuguese, but Brazilian.
Indeed, I'd love to see more game developers creating games based on such unique themes/settings. Lots of cool places and eras that haven't been explored yet, in games. (Red Orchestra is a good example of this, no game has beaten it).
There's a good movie about this, watch it if you didn't yet: ;)

I bought several games aswell, but none over the top.
I think the mst expensive deals I did were Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Two Thrones(gifted). Also Bionicle: Rearms(traded with Crysis).
Oh wait, the most expensive was the ID-super pack, but someone gifted me it. From /v/. They seem to have a soft spot for Germans.
What else,mhhhh...
Avencast
Cryostasis
Day of Defeat: Source
Full Pipe
Gothic Bundle
Left4Dead2(gifted)
Red Orchestra
Thief DS
Titan Quest pack
Twin Sector
All in all, I think I got the games I wanted. There are maybe like 8 games on my wishlist, but they weren't on summer sale. I rather wait til I get a job since none of them will ever have any discounts as far I see it.

Regarding Prince series, there's the "Prince Of Persia Sands of Time Trilogy" at retail: http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Persia-Sands-Time-Trilogy/dp/B001LKM0EW/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1278401061&sr=1-1
And congrats for the id pack, lots of classics. :)

German version of T2T is censored. No heads fall off and the like. Also, fuck tages.
ID pack is restricted because all the "ID-calssics" are restricted here due German censoreship. So I plead on the /v/ board for giftin'
And Warrior Within is always my favourite, I would buy it on every store I'd find it.

I bought only 3 game this time cause I already have a lot of game to finish.
Bought Time Gentlemen, please! Ghost Master and Puzzle Kindoms.

Dunno how many i snagged during the sale...... I think I went a bit overboard... but meh... had decent internet speed :)

Thanks! I think I'll pick it up later, when I have the money for it.

It seems entirely average. Nothing spectular, but nothing too bad either.
Gameplay reminds me of the first Dungeon Siege, mixed with any of the Infinity Engine games. You have dialogue, and a camera that can move across the entire map, change angle and zoom.
Writing is alright, but suffers from translation issues. Some minor typos here and there, and there are occasionally some strange sentences, but all I've seen so far is understandable.
Combat is standard realtime with pause, similar to any Bioware game. Spellcasting is mana based.
There's one issue I have with the game, though, and that is the 'quest compass'. Every objective is marked directly on the map, and the main quest has an arrow on the screen which always point you in the right direction. Though from what I've seen so far, one of the characters in the party know where they are supposed to be going, so it might make some sense in a certain way.
Overall, it's entirely passable. Considering its price on sale, it might be worth it if you're just looking for another RPG.

I'm not sure, but maybe that retail trilogy has a softer drm, or even no drm at all, search about it.
Yeah, I've forgot some id games were banned/censored by German laws (IIRC, That's the reason for Crysis 1 not having much blood and correct ragdolls on bodies). That's a great pack, enjoy it.

i've got the retail POP trilogy, no DRM that i know of on SoT and WW, T2T uses Starforce (and i had to update it from the starforce site in order for it to actually play the game!)
