If I didn't know about the $5 coupon I missed out on it'd be a much easier purchase.

Toy Soldiers has both Steam and GFWL achievements (You pick when you launch it).
Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight only have Steam achievements.
Iron Brigade and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet have only GFWL achievements.

You'll need:

1. A DeLorean

Wait...I thought I got EC coupons while playing Dark Souls: PTD and letting one of those Basilisk monsters in The Depths breathe gas and smoke all over you?

B/c I think Activision is RICH and selling LOTS of copies of BO2.

Rule of thumb - if people keep buy your game at X price, why drop the price?

Can you get both in Toy Soldiers? As in I can start it, collect all the achievements, exit then start it over again and choose Steam the next time? Or is it a once you pick that's it deal?

Delorian - Check (don't own, but there is at least one in my area, I'm sure I can "borrow" it)
Flux Capacitor - Check (supply cabinet)
Plutonium - Check (in saran-wrapped beaker in my fridge)

Now the real question... Should I go back in time for the January 2012 or January 2011 EC promo?

Maybe I'm just bad at business, but if people kept buying my game at X price, I'd throw them a bone as a thank you for buying my game at X price and breaking sales records.

I believe you can get both (have not played it yet) but each time you launch the game you select either GFWL or Steamworks. Basically you have two version of the same game downloaded and choose which one to launch.

Sweet. That's what I was hoping for. Really tempted now. Hmm...

Honestly, I just want World at War to hit $5 or so for all the zombie DLC and the custom maps. Black Ops 2 just isn't fun for me. Grief's pretty good, I'll have to admit, but Tranzit was just disappointing and they put so many annoying aspects to it.

2011 it's a two-for-one deal.

Sorry guys to ask this, but im on Vacation on a hotel in Andes Mountains with very slow internet connection, so slow it takes minutes to access Amazon site.

What happened to Paradox 2012 Pack (Crap some keys do not work on this keyboard). I have saved some EC coupons and some cash for this deal but I keep missing it. Thanks for the help.

Thats dedication. Vacationing in a mountain paradise, but still checking and posting on CAG.

As for the Paradox deal, it sold out wicked fast on Thursday (I think) then they were talking about offering it again today I thought, but there were tons of issues with people not getting keys and not being able to access them that I'm assuming they scrapped the idea of doing it again.

Thanks, OP. Just got Stronghold HD from the Free-2-Play page.

3am - 6am EST ... by 7 am they were sold out. We all were having issues apparently because Amazons "show product key" function freaks out with large numbers of keys (i.e. some of the crazy bundles Tony's been sending our direction)

I haven't heard from Tony since his Muse concert last night (probably sleeping it off) as to whether or not they were gunning for more keys. He kept saying all his contacts were in Iceland. Damned well they should be as Paradox-Con is going down in Rekkjavik this weekend so it's kinda hard to work on the road.....

What is humorous about the bundle is that you're able to buy all of the individual games of the bundle if you look at each of them, but they're preventing us from buying the bundle because of the DLC codes for some of the games not being available?

Why not let us just buy the bundle, get the games we can for now and then deal with the DLC later?

Seems silly to me.

Oh, well. I let 4 EC coupons expire already, so a 5th won't kill me.
