Patience rewarded. Bought the Dreamcast pack. Of course, having a perfectly good Dreamcast connected to the TV all this time helped me to resist previous deals, but at a dollar a game I don't mind adding these to my Steam library.

I love Jet Set/Grind Radio.

Edit: Oh nice, another $5 promotional credit for January. Wasn't expecting that.

Is anyone else having a problem logging into Steamgifts? When I sign in through Steam and it sends me back to SG it still needs me to sign in. Tried it on 3 different browsers and same thing one each.

Yes, same deal here.

Yeah, I resisted when I saw the original bundle had DRM issues. Funny tho the review in the new bundle getting all butthurt over Steam keys. I guess you can't satisfy everyone.

Yeah, that deal goes on until Christmas. Not sure I'll get to use all the credit in January, but it is nice to have the option.

Wait. I thought the rule was 100 hours logged on Coconut Queen.

That's actually how I try and figure out if a game is Steam or not in the many cases (though they are getting better) when Amazon doesn't list it. If it's steam, someone somewhere is going to get into a huge rage about it and write an angry 1 star review.

In this case it was even listed on the page, though they probably should do a better job about making that sort of thing front and center. Still doesn't excuse people from needing to read the info on the page or research what form of DRM/Client etc a digital game uses BEFORE the buy it.

Do they both give you steam keys?

Just finished The Walking Dead. It delivered in all areas (except an adequate save feature). I'm usually not a fan of adventure games, because the pacing drives me batshit crazy. The Walking Dead was so intense and moved so fast that I had to walk away from it a few times. All the hyperbole that has been spewed in this thread about it is true- the game is a true gem.

Also just got the PowerA AirFlo wired 360 controller for $20 @ TRU as an extra controller and it worked instantly with the PC. recommended

I have this, and used it to play Amalur a couple weekends back. My thumbs hurt from using it for some reason, which has never happened with other controllers.

I also haven't gotten Linux to recognize it by using drivers for the official 360 controllers. It does work in Windows 8 though.

I'll have to try it on KoA. I only tried it on NBA 2K13 so far which is the main game I play when I have my boys over. Worked pretty well and like the feel, look, etc. I think the range of the thumbsticks is extended more than the OG 360 controller so that's probably why. The extra grip on the thumbsticks is nice tho.

When I plugged it into Windows 7 is just used the drivers for the official 360 controller too.

So does the Dreamcast pack throw out the securom drm in favor of Steam, or just overlay Steam on the securom?

Anyone else playing Endless Space this weekend? Not a bad game. What's the strike price on this? $10? How long to wait until it hits $5?

There were a few times throughout the episodes where I had to put the controller down and walk away for a few moments. Pretty much at least once per episode I had to just because I was stunned.

Amazing damn game and very, very worthy of GOTY status.

Walking Dead is good, but I felt the last 2/3rds of episode 3 were kinda drawn out and just chores. I loved the rest, looking forward to the next game. I hate adventure games, so this is a huge exception. Looks like I spent 13 hours on the whole thing, not bad.

I know I will be crucified here for this opinion but while the Walking Dead had an excellent story, as a 'game' (even as an adventure game) it was mediocre to poor. The puzzles were insultingly easy so with that and ignoring the derpy QTE's and aiming/attack vignettes it basically stands on the merits of its dialogue and story outcome variations. But, that's pretty much par for the course with Telltale these days. They've basically turned adventure games into interactive serialized movies/miniseries.

I don't know anything about any of the games in either the Dreamcast or Sega Genesis packs? Are they still both worth picking up?

I'm hoping it goes on sale again in January on Amazon, so I can use my $5 promo code on it.
