Well one reason to pick Trainz 2012 over Railworks is that Trainz has out-of-the-box support for your Raildriver. Railworks does not.

GMG has Sacred 2 Gold for $6.79 ($5.43 AC). Requires Capsule to download, can't be traded in, so I assume it is the recent DRM-FREE release. GG has it DRM-FREE, Steam has it (and DRM-FREE on steam).

GMG also has Ridge Racer Unbounded (steam) for $10 AC. I've been playing this a bit recently. It's an interesting arcade racer that is inspired by Split/Second & Burnout and isn't too easy. I've been enjoying it.

Many who've played it seem to disagree.

For it's price, I would've given it a chance if I were you.

OK, so maybe my purchases aren't quite done yet. Guess I'll pick these up along with Risen for $3.99 (AC) since I've been meaning to try that one out as well.

Should have paid checked in on this thread more often instead of just checking GMG.

I passed on WitN, Viking, Condemned, etc. because I assumed the voucher was one-time-use. Buying Dead Island will (barely) help to console me after missing out on some great deals to throw on the craplog.

The http://blog.greenmangaming.com/ usually give details on the promo code, and sometimes upcoming deals. It's been months since GMG had a single-use promo-code.

I was going to reply that Risen is free on VOID but apparently it has been shut down. Not sure when that happened.

GamersGate shut down VOID a few weeks ago, I believe. Not sure if they ever gave a reason as to why.

I guess they figured they were already giving away enough free games on their main site.

Very tempted on Ridge Racer Unbounded. In your opinion, is it worth the $10? Do you happen to know if it has wheel support?

According to people on the SPUF, no. However there's some replies there that mention it can be done using another program called x360ce.

I feel it's worth $10 (I paid $12.50 on steam early this month). It has 360 controller support. I have no clue on wheel support. I like it because I loved Split/Second and Burnout. There's not enough zany racers around imo.

Copied from my post in the steam thread:
^_^ I'm only two hours into in (and another hour on the demo on steam), but they have been a very enjoyable two hours. I've beaten the first district (of seven?) but not 100%ed it. I really like the time trial tracks as they are zany (In a way that I havent' seen much since the 90s). The only modern comparison for those time trial tracks is TrackMania.

FYI about Ridge Racer, the $12.50 price on Steam was a complete pack with all DLC. Also the MSRP has dropped to $30 on Steam but is still $50 on GMG.

I have only played it for a hour or so but it is enjoyable. It reminds me of the burnout series with fragging but opponents don't get knocked out of the race, they just start a few positions back. Also blowing through buildings are good times. This game seems more challenging as well, I have yet to finish first.

It's Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!

You're right $12.50 on steam included the DLC. ...that's where those extra cars came from -lol-
I haven't tried all the DLC cars, but they are starter cars, a little better than the base starter car, but probably not worth the $2.50 extra I paid for them since I outclassed them in less than two hours.

I've found to finish in the top 3 positions, I have to focus closely on catching-up/staying-ahead as opposed to playing for points (smashing rivals, buildings, collateral damage to the scenery). The good news is that RRU uses two parallel progress systems. One is based purely on points and you keep those points even if you finish last place. Those points act like XP and increase your rank and new cars unlock at higher ranks. The other scoring is stars for coming in 1st/2nd/3rd in a particular race. Once you have at least one star in every race in a district new district cap-stone race opens up, get one star in that and you "dominate" the district.

I was unable to place even 3rd (of 12) in the first race with the starter car in a few tries, but I earned enough points to rank up an get a new car with better acceleration/speed that allowed to place first. Also other races open up quickly, so being stuck on a particular race shouldn't be a problem until endgame.

Oh yes, and one point I hadn't emphasized, the most destructible environments I've seen in a racer... in fact the only game with more environmental destruction I can think of is Red Faction Guerrilla. (Split/Second's environmental destruction was all the rigged destruction, rather than say low concrete walls, parked cars, and the sort.)

... is Ridge Racer Unbounded region locked or something? A friend in Mexico can't buy it, the page doesn't have a buy button.

I'd say yes.

Ridge Racer: Unbounded (NA)

BS. Total BS.

EA likes to screw over Mexico, which is part of North America... guess Namco's taking a cue from their rulebook.
