Yeah, but his review says it is an expansion. So does that mean you need the base game?

Also, company is Focus Home Interactive, any of their games been in bundles?

LMFAO! Okay, don't take any of my reviews seriously. All of them are for BlueCoins.

But yes, Earth Awakening is an expansion to Silverfall:

However, I don't believe that the expansion requires the base game. If you'd like me to, I can check for you. But in order for that to happen, you have to play Yeti Hunter.

I suppose it's better than doing -that thing- with smurfs to get bluecoins. =) Thanks for chiming in.

I'm not certain but I have a hazy recollection of talk of a Focus Home Interactive bundle on Amazon.

About Silverfall (original) + Earth Awakening (stand-alone expansion):

If you plan on playing original Silverfall...
MAKE SURE you have BOTH Silverfall (original) + Silverfall: Earth Awakening (stand-alone expansion) and that you do install them TOGETHER right into the same game folder.
Earth Awakening fixes so many technical issues w/ performance improvements; and has a lot of UI and camera fixes and improvements (which is for both games), it ain't even funny.
They (Monte Cristo Game Studios) NEVER patched all of that stuff into the original Silverfall game alone.
You NEED Earth Awakening for all the UI and camera improvements for the Original game!
BTW, RIP, Monte Cristo Game Studios!

If you only install the original Silverfall - you'll be missing out on tons of UI and camera improvements that only Earth Awakening gives you that it ain't even funny....
As someone who played Silverfall (original) before Earth Awakening came out, I'm telling you - the differences and improvements are like day and night here.

Earth Awakening is a stand-alone expansion, so you could always play that alone w/out installing Silverfall (original).
You'd have all of the UI fixes, camera fixes, and all of that stuff - b/c that stuff just comes w/ Earth Awakening period.


EDIT - Nov. 18, 2012:
You can read some of my thoughts that I wrote years ago on Silverfall + Earth Awakening...

Silverfall (original) [before Earth Awakening was released]:
Part 1.
Part 2.

Silverfall: Earth Awakening:
Part 1.
Part 2.

GG has Torchlight 2 on sale for $15, before IGN and G2PO. And the 4-pack is $45. (Less than $10 per)

A couple things 50% off a little below the radar:
$2.50 for Cold Zero - The Last Stand (DRM-free) -- Tactical Action game with positive reviews
$5 for Demigod (Steam)

Looks like they are running a Thanksgiving week sale with daily deals

Here's hoping for a Daily on Torchlight II. 25% isn't enough to nibble at.

If you can find four people who want it for the four-pack and the buyer has IGN + G2PO then it comes out to less than $10 per copy (over 50% off). Debating whether to host it myself...

If you've waited this long you might as well wait a few more days to see if Torchlight 2 gets further discounted as a daily during the course of the Thanksgiving sale.

I have a feeling it won't. Typically sales places are across the board. Maybe they have a special deal with just steam on the price point...but it may not be cheaper than on GG with all the applicable coupons

That's what I'm doing. If I can't get 50% -> 15% -> 5% off, I won't bother. Backlog is too large anyway and I need to start getting selective.

This is why CAG is awesome. Thanks! I might just bite on this because of you!

Silverfall went on my wishlist. I hope to snag the complete version on sale.

GG seems to be running 4 daily deals/day to celebrate the dispossession of the Native American people.

Not a daily but they have a Deponia and The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav bundle for $16.

If anyone purchased assassins creed 3 on gamersgate you get a 50% off coupon which you could use for any other assassins creed title. You can put that towards the complete collection (which includes all the 4 titles now not just the first 3):

Ended up costing me round $20. (IGN discount wasnt working with this purchase for whatever reason but GTP0 was and it subtracted off the original $44.00)

If anyone would like to purchase this send me a PM or if you're looking to get in on the deal might be worth waiting to see if it becomes a daily deal.

Anybody got their AC 3 keys yet? When I get to my games page on GamersGate, I see "unused serial keys", and two link for download extras, but no key or installation instructions.

Someday Anno 2070 will be at a real enough sale to warrant buying it but today isn't that day.

Well, got AC3 installed, but my deluxe content is missing...

EDIT: Ok. I figured it out. The same serial you use to activate the game you have to use again in the game (under the extras > redeem code menu) to unlock the additional content. A bit weird and counter-intuitive, but it worked.

They have been really stingy with sales on that game and it's not like it's new or anything.

I like that style of game well enough that I would have bought it by now if it weren't for the draconian DRM tages layered on top of UPlay.

Oh well, maybe in 2013 or 2014 when they come to their senses and patch out that Tages and put it on a $10 or below sale then I will bite.

I would say if you like ARPG's like Sacred 2, Dungeon Siege 2 + Broken World; and you like steampunk settings...
It's definitely worth playing Silverfall + Earth Awakening.
ESPECIALLY if you can get them real cheap!

I enjoyed the hell out of Silverfall + Earth Awakening.

Just curious - can anyone in the US see Sacred 2 Gold? I was able to buy it for US$5.99 (less my IGN discount). I think it's a special situation where, living in Puerto Rico, I have prices in US$, but some of the region restricted games are available.
