The demo runs great on my PC, so I want to buy the game. How should I do it? Should I get it through Steam or buy it on disc like from Amazon.com? I've heard some horror stories about the full game, so I just want to know which way I should go.

Thanks.

I went the disc route just for collection reasons. Either way you end upp getting a great game.

Also, I have Windows 7... If the demo runs good will the full game run too? I ask because the system specs for the game don't offically support Win 7.

As did I. If you get it on Steam, you'll have a 15 gig download (game is huge.) It's a Steamworks game, so you'll have to authenticate it via Steam anyway if you get the disk.

I went the disk route, its a massive download if you buy from steam. Either way it will add it to your steam account.

I do it through Steam. I'm impatient and I have a very quick download speed.
