No, it cannot.

It's a GFWL game, not a Steamworks game.

Been wanted to try out The Witcher, and missed Steam, so grabbed it here. Still debating Mafia 2. Might just wait for it to go sub $20 for the Xbox 360.

BioShock 2 cannot be activated with Steam.

Mafia 2 can though. I am waiting for it to be $10 or less.

Thanks for the heads up, I can score that and refer myself for 2.50 to earn the frist teir of bounuses.

agh I hate how I can't use my $10 promotional credit

Nothing. Was probably just a PC gaming elitist.

what of the sale games are GFWL?

Not knocking achievements just how he said GFWL is better than Steamworks. Steamworks is way better than GFWL imo. I am glad you did point out the achievements though because it gives me another reason to pick it up cause I can doubledip the achievos with the 360 version.

I have $12.25 left in credit in my account, think I'll probably bite on Mafia 2 for 25 cents

For anyone wondering about DLC for Arma 2, I got this response on the Steam forums (from a dev):

as the STEAM DLCs need STEAM A2: OA for purchase and use so for the AMAZON version get DLC from us directly http://store.bistudio.com/ or other online stores

Looks like you can get the DLC from them, or you can get it at "other online stores." One of which seems to be Meridian4, which is the publisher listed on the Amazon listing. This is somewhat annoying, because I doubt they'll go on sale there.

Patches are also universal, so you can get them straight from the devs.

Oh hell yeah Steam is better than GFWL. I would rather get XBL achievements than Steam achievements is what I meant.

Yeah, What the hell? I have a 10 buck game/software download credit I couldn't use a few days ago. Is there a price minimum you need or something?


Tallest_Midget you can check if your system can play a game here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

Um... what the heck? Won't let me use mine either.

I had no idea there would be a problem. It says I have it, it just isn't showing up during checkout. It's odd, you'd think that $10 in downloading video game credit would, oh, I don't know, let you use $10 on downloading video games.

Anyone know what the deal is?
