Madden '08
Tiger Woods '08
Fifa Manager 11
Fifa Soccer 09
Fifa Soccer 10
NHL 09

Did anyone here have trouble running L.A. Noire from Amazon DD? I'm looking at the Amazon reviews.

The way I read it, if you spend $5, you get $5 to get ONE of those titles for free; kind of like BOGO

O that's make sense, you are right, I misunderstand it, thanks

Just an FYI Tony, its actually Xpand Rally Xtreme thats on sale for $3.99. Xpand Rally for some reason is out of stock, as a DD, on both Amazon and Steam. XRX is technically newer and still a great value, but I was personally hoping to finally find a copy of the original to use on my netbook.

However, unlike the previous BOGO deal, Tony said you can use the $5 towards a more expensive EA Sports title if you wish.

If anyone has some experience with the PC version, I, too, would like to hear how good/bad it plays.

I don't mind if it stutters from time to time, but I do care that it works and is playable. I have enough experience with horrible console-to-PC ports as it is, and I am well aware of Rockstar's reputation on the matter. The more info, the better.

Just a heads-up for anyone interested in a the Mount and Blade collection. You can grab it from Nuuvem for $5.58 (after exchange), and it activates on Steam.

Sorry to steal your Thunder Tony...hah

Have you actually tried buying from there? First of all they are in Brazil and in all likelihood not legally allowed to sell to the US. Even if you could manage to navigate through the Portugese with Google translate and it let you buy the game with a US address (it doesn't) you might end up with something that you can't play in your region.

Not worth it as far as I am concerned.

Took 5 seconds, I'm actually going through the M and B tutorial now. Bought fine with paypal with a US address. No need to translate either, just use common sense...

Well I guess I don't have enough 'common sense' It kept dumping the item out of my cart when I tried to go through Paypal and when I tried the credit card route it wouldn't run it through with a US address.

At any rate, it's pretty douchey to come in someone else's thread and talk about some other store in a different region that they obviously can't match. It's also grey area and don't be shocked if you buy from them one day and it doesn't work because you aren't in the right region. I guess if the game is region free then Valve technically won't find out but you still aren't supposed to be doing it and people have gotten kicked off or had their games removed for doing similar stuff. Not worth the risk to me.

I've been buying from Nuuvem as well, bought Crusader Kinds Collection for like 2.80 using paypal. This is the third thing I've bought from them, including Mount & Blade in the past.

I was considering HAWX, but Im just looking for an arcadey fighter game. Im not really attached to modern era and would consider historical ones as well. Can anyone make any recommendations? Im looking to pay below $10.

All I know is I clicked the add to cart button, and chose paypal, and that was that.

Yes, "douchey" for trying to help people who wanted Mount and Blade on Steam in this thread, and who were disappointed when the Amazon listing was in error. Gamersgate and Getgames (among others) are also non US based stores, but I'm sure not the only one who uses those sites as well.

Last time I try to help, lol

Thanks for that, on quick glance I thought it was Tower Defense, but honestly the shmup aspect is more appealing, for a buck I think I'll take the plunge too.

Good to know, I think you'll enjoy the Sherlock game. Hope Woody being a schmup won't take away from the fun.

The only one I can think of off hand are the Big Fish forums and it would probably not be a good idea to go there talking about Amazon deals.

What kind of games do you like? Are into any puzzlers or Hidden Object? I'll be honest, the selection from Amazon is not as great as Big Fish or even physical media (I notice amazon will carry the PC Disc version of a ton of casual games it does not offer digitally) but there are some gems to be found depending on what you like.

I usually go through the casual game list and click on the ones that sound interesting and read the reviews. They are usually pretty on point as they are usually written by avid casual gamers who explain the game well. Like right now I am thinking about Pickers, it's a Hidden Object Game with a twist of haggling and bargaining and I like the show American Pickers, plus it has good reviews.

Rise of Flight is on sale and it looks to have great reviews, but I haven't played it myself and from the description/reviews it seems like a full on Flight Sim and probably not as arcadey as you want.

Not sure how arcadey you are going. I loved the Snoopy vs. Red Baron game, but it is over $10 and not sold as a Digital Download.

Any chance Gray Matter will become part of the sale? DD price is always higher than the physical for some reason. I'd love to try this game especially considering the Kickstarter Jane Jensen's got going to potentially make a sequel

I second interest in Gray Matter and add Black Mirror 2 and 3 into the mix.

No worries on posting other stuff in here from my point of view. That verbiage "Steam account required" is still on the page and I've been buried getting ready to launch the digital version of Tera for pre-order this weekend.

Sorry for the delay on Mount and Blade, I just repinged the team fixing it to see what's up.

Let me look into it .

Do tell if Bus Driver seems to be worth the money. I like slow driving that requires one to follow the rules of the road.

@Tony

GameStop has Venetica PC retail box for $5.
I'm not asking for price-match b/c I know you don't match retail box deals...

But, do you guys carry this Venetica PC game at Amazon DVG downloads?
I can't seem to find you guys at ADVG having this...
