    Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

    Jurassic Park is decent though it's all QTE's,Monkey Island is good and I have played Back to the Future but heard good things so the bundle is probably worth it. Can't comment on Puzzle Agent.

    The Focus collection has good stuff if you like adventure games.

      Is there an OS group to join on STEAM?

      I just upgraded my computer recently so I can actually play some modern games now.

        Yes, just search OperationSports on Steam.

            *Points and laughs at EA/Orign*

            David Demartini is the head of EA's Origin service. And he's most certainly not going to be announcing any 75%-off sales on his service any time soon. Why? Because he says it damages publishers' intellectual properties (the value of their brands), cheapening them and giving customers a huge reason not to buy new games at launch. He told GamesIndustry:

            “We won’t be doing that. Obviously [Steam] thinks it’s the right thing to do after a certain amount of time. I just think it cheapens your intellectual property. I know both sides of it, I understand it. If you want to sell a whole bunch of units, that is certainly a way to do that, to sell a whole bunch of stuff at a low price. The game makers work incredibly hard to make this intellectual property, and we’re not trying to be Target. We’re trying to be Nordstrom.

            “When I say that, I mean good value, we’re trying to give you a fair price point, and occasionally there will be things that are on sale you could look for a discount, just don’t look for 75 per cent off going-out-of-business sales.

            “What Steam does might be teaching the customer: ‘I might not want it in the first month, but if I look at it in four or five months, I’ll get one of those weekend sales and I’ll buy it at that time at 75% off. It’s an approach, and I’m not going to say it’s not working for Valve. It certainly works for Valve; I don’t know if it works as well for the publishing partners who take on the majority of that haircut.”

            There's a reply there from a Steam person but I wasn't copying the whole thing.

            So far I've got Back to the Future for $6.24

            Greeman is going by AUS seasons and having a winter sale.

              Nothing for me on Day 1, waiting to see what comes up next for Flash Sales and Community Choice.

                The second game from the team that did Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Isaac collection, is $5. It comes with the game, the soundtrack and the expansion pack.

                  Only half the Super Meat Boy team, actually.

                  I'm hoping AC: Revelations wins this next fan vote.

                      Hmmm, I have been thinking about Jade Empire lately.

                          I'm starting to get bummed out on these polls, nothing has stood out to me so far. Gave you my vote though so hopefully it gets picked.

                            There are way more sales going on than what's listed on the main page.

                            Basically, any game you are interested in, check it out and it's probably on sale.

                            I grabbed Worms Crazy Golf for $2.50. Looks a lot like Kirby's Dream Course for the SNES, only with more explosions.

                              Oh I know, and nothing has stood out to me honestly this year like years past where there was never a hesitation.
