So that cool pack of bulletstorm etc is not steam working?

I would just like that add that I loved, loved, LOVED Bulletstorm!!

Yes it was juvenile, bloody and completely over the top, but MAN was it fun!

NBA 2K13 is Steam.

Negative, my pricing system says the match is in place (obviously it is lying). I'll check again.

Same here

Played it twice and totally loved it

The version Amazon sells is not Origin redeemable but with a little chat with Origin support, they will register it for you and if you're lucky enough they can even give you another key for the Limited Edition

Saboteur from Amazon does register on Origin though, I did it myself

As for Sleeping Dogs new price, hell, even at full $49.99, it is worth every penny. The game is one of the best games that were released recently. Period

Wow, I'm famous!

Glad I could help people out. It is a fantastic bundle IMO.

EDIT: The review at Amazon is under review.

Originally Posted by thegreatest I played both of those on 360 along with Burnout and Bulletstorm. I also have Burnout on Steam. I will comment on what I know... Burnout Paradise - No longer supported for multiplayer by EA, so (as far as I know) there is no way to play online, but it does have local multiplayer (I think from looking at the menus). It is a great racing game though if you like arcade racing. Highly recommended. If you liked other Burnout games, you'll love this one. Bulletstorm - Meh. More fun in coop, but like most FPS campaigns it gets very repetitive, but at this price I would recommend it. Mercenaries 2 - I absolutely loved this game in coop on 360. Some hilarious cutscenes, and a decent story. It got me at least 60 hours of gameplay. I highly recommend it. The Sabotuer - I never got around to finishing it, but it is pretty much Mafia 2 with an Irish accent (which gets pretty annoying and it's laughable how poorly done it is). It isn't a bad time gameplay wise though, and sabotaging things is pretty fun. It would probably be worth a play through, but I can't recommend it since I only played about 5-10 hours of it. Mirror's Edge - I haven't played more than the demo, but I have been looking to pick it up for PC on the cheap. From what I understand, it is worth the money and it is a great time to play. As far as the pack's value, if I hadn't already played all of them (3 of them to death) I would definitely pick it up for $10. Well worth it IMO. Lots of game time in this pack. Hopefully this helps some of you on the edge.

Regarding Burnout Paradise, I was able to login and play online. (Freeburn online). When it asks you to enter your login, you need to enter your EA account name (Which may be different from your email) It's the name on the top right in the Origin client. You can also join matches against other online people.

So it looks like you can still play Burnout on-line.

Also, to get to the on-line menu, you hit [ESC] and then F1 or F2 function key to get to the menu.
Hope that helps anyone.

All I know is that I have it on Steam and every time I sign in it says "Can't connect to Paradise servers". I also thought I read somewhere that EA took down the servers. I know I am typing in my EA username and password because it won't let you play at all if you don't.

EDIT: After doing more research, I guess it is just a problem with the Steam keys given out in the Summer Sale. I'm pretty pissed right now, and I'm not sure I can fix it...

Tony, any chance you'll have Black ops for lower than 19.99$ in the COD sale? It's 19.99 now at gamefly.

Try getting the key out of the "CD Key" thinger in Steam and activate it in Origin.

If it doesn't work, hit up live chat! They've activated more on my origin account for less of a reason.

With the new one out in 2 months I would think it should be dropping to around that price anyway to be honest

T Money,

You positive nba2k13 is steam? I'm buying either way but there is still no steam page for it

Personally, I loved The Saboteur. It's one of the few games that I've played through at least 3 times and completely 100%'d it each time. I had a blast with it. It was so satisfying methodically wiping the map clear of sabotage targets. My favorite was killing a Nazi and disguising myself with his uniform, then walking right into a group of them and planting a bomb with no one even caring. I thought the color thing was an interesting idea too. It's not a game with a lot of depth, either character or story-wise, but I still found it to be an enjoyable story. Also, if a lot of swearing (and I mean, A LOT - if this isn't the game I heard the most use of the f-bomb, it's one of the top 3) bothers you, you might want to avoid this one. Also, if you find hundreds of freeplay sabotage targets daunting, you might want to avoid this as well.

Think the same thing happened last year. The page didn't go up until the game came out.

My 2K guy confirmed yesterday.

Sorry to hear that it's having problem in pushing the sale price. Is it still going to push thru even though the sale on Steam is over now?

Thanks. Great rundown.

So, Tony, how is the situation on the Strategy First bundle?

I refuse to install Origin again.

Still getting the final composition from SF, apparently my guy was at TGS.

In addition to the above, any idea of how much the Strat-First Bundle will cost and how many games it will come with?
I'm definitely buying the Strat-First and 1C bundles, but trying to see if I have enough funds for the EA Pack.
