Sheeh, why has no one mentioned that Train Simulator 2013 is the daily at $7.50 ($6 AC) -- cheaper than the Steam Winter sale. It's also a cheap way to pick up some UK DLC including: Sherman Hill, London to Brighton, Northeast Corridor and Isle of Wight. None of this overlaps with DLC from the Steam Summer Sale Train Simulator 2012 DLC.
Everyone who owned Train Simulator/Railworks on steam got a free upgrade to the base 2013 Train Simulator. 2013 now includes co-op

[quote name='Trace17']Tried to pre-order Tomb Raider, but it won't let me use the 25% off code. I thought it might be because it's 5 bucks off, but the code works on Sonic and Omerta too (both a few dollars off right now as well). Am I doing something wrong?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='akmgmer']My guess is it has something to do with the credit they are offering on that title only right now. It seems they boosted the credit to $15 and the cash back to $10.[/QUOTE]
But it did work at one time I assume? Because I read someone a few days ago post here they used it on tomb raider.
And if the boosted credit cancels it out, it should be removed from the 25% header and link on the GMG homepage. But what am I to do...
Oh well.

Doesn't sound like an RPG worth playing even on sale. Thanks.

Thoughts on Train Simulator 2013? Why pick this Train Sim over Trainz?
edit: Eh, at $6 ($5.50 after a trade in) I jumped on it. Now to decide if it goes on an secondary account for the HTPC or if I put it on my primary and run it in offline mode.

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.

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.

#-oShould 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.

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.

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.)

Steam thread a few hours ago. Jshackles and myself. Jshackles reports sacred.exe will launch steam if not already running (sign of Steam-DRM). It shouldn't have any other DRM according to Deep Silver. The GG version is DRM free (I own DRM'd UK release, and DRM-FREE releases from GG). I can confirm that the steam binary and the DRM-FREE binary is different.
