It's $50 bucks here, but I still wouldn't order over Steam. If I'm going to be paying the same price as retail I might as well just get the case (Also still waiting for the demo so I might pre-order after I see how it runs on my PC). I can't imagine paying more for a digital copy than the retail version, that's just rediculous.

I dunno, it runs pretty well for me. I run it with everything maxed out except without shadows at 1680 x 1050 on a 4870, E8400 @ 3Ghz, and 4Gs of DDR2 ram. Make sure you run the game with the clip capture feature off, it goes a bit slower when its on.

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention I like to use the Ultimate Graphics Tweak with the game, it makes it run a little bit smoother imo:

Yeah, I agree, I'm pretty sure this ins't a port. I think i read somewhere on their forums that this was primarily built for the PC. The only thing that annoys me is the Physx since I don't have NVidia, but other than that it looks pretty great.

There have been quite a few games that I have been disappointed with the ending, but the most recent thing that comes to mind has to be Borderlands. To me, it was so bad that I had trouble even picking up the multiplayer again. Perhaps the worst ending(s) I have ever seen were in Alone in the Dark. I remember staring blankly at the screen as the credits were rolling, and for a few seconds I was in disbelief that the developers would let such an awful excuse for an ending come to exist. Oh yeah, and Fallout 3's was pretty terrible, too.

Guybrush Threepwood is certainly more badasterick than any of these guys. If not him, then definitely Auron from FF10.

I think one of the scariest games I've ever played was the panoramic horror game Scratches. Although it wasn't the scariest, I got an error on the game that made it one of the scariest moments I've had playing horror games. Long story short, I manuvered through something (I won't go to far into detail for the sake of preserving the scare for the people that play :)) to get to a point where there was no option to move or turn at all. It seemed like there should have been a cinematic or something but nothing was happening for about 30 seconds. I alt-tab out to find that there was a windows error that stopped the game. So I started it back up, got to the same place and it seemed like the same thing was happening. I sat there for another couple seconds getting ready to alt-tab back, and out of nowhere scary horror music turns on and you see something move in front of you. I almost had to stop playing for the night :D.

With the Steam sale this may have been overlooked.

Call Of Duty Special bundle - COD 2 - 4 29.99

Pnumbra collection 4.95

The Witcher DC 9.95

Ghostbusters 9.95

The rest are on Steam for the same price.

101ColdOne

Thanks for brining this to my attention, I was able to get The Witcher cheaper from here and GTA IV cheaper from steam :).

I'm thinking about getting GTA IV to try out some of the mods to hold me over while I wait for The Witcher to get here after I order it. The deals are pretty meh today, but I would definitely pick Monkey Island if you like adventure games and don't already have it.

Well that was disappointing. So much for getting The Witcher from steam, at this point it's cheaper for me to get the box edition off amazon.
