Markenname: There's a Red Faction deal over at D2D [url=]http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/[/url]
Preorder RF Guerilla for 35 BP and get Red Faction + Red Faction 2 for free. This is for anybody except ze germans.

It's on Impulse, too. Site seems to be busted at the moment, though.
Edit: back up.

17.50 in dollars. This offer interests me but I've never bought from them before. what are they like? Do you download the game and it's yours a la GOG or do you have to have some sort of software running a la Steam?

I'm not deep into it either.. Up to now I bought 3 games from them which were so cheap I couldn't resist... So far I have no problems with D2D. You buy the game. It's in 'Your Account' then and you can download it as many times as you want with the help of a downloader. You don't have to run any sort of steam-like software to play the games. So it's not like Steam. On the other hand: Not all games come DRM-free. So it's not like GOG either.

There is no client for D2D. Basic functionality is similar to GOG in that you download standalone installers from the list of purchased games on your account, but many if not most games require you to authenticate online with D2D once at install time. Many also carry publisher-mandated DRM, per the norm. Some titles are available DRM-free.
By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Zeno Clash still requires Steam despite being sold through D2D.

I got Steam, so it's not much of an issue. I'm thinking it over now, since Zeno clash and Defense grid are the real games I like on the offer, but in the end if those two are the only ones i might end up enjoying, it's like spending $8.75 for each and getting the rest of unlikely to be played games for free.
Eh, i really shouldn't. I should save up for games I really like. I'll be getting myself a couple from here soon after mid august. Best to buy a few games I'll play than a bunch I'm not likely to.

I want to play Zeno Clash. With Steam, do I need internet access to play? I don't have it on the PC I'm on most of the time. The last Steam game I played was HL2. Loooong time ago. Can't say I remember how it worked.

I believe that after the initial install you need to activate the game online once using steam and then after that are able to play it in steams offline mode.

Assuming Steam's application files are updated. If there's been an update since he was last online, he (she?) won't be able to play the game.

TYFT. I bought the bundle and installed it at my uni library (they have free wireless). Saved me a bunch of headaches.
