Wanted to try the new Desktop Defense game Sol Survivor on Steam - but something on my PC made the game barf. Grml.

At least the guys responsible for that game answered within minutes which makes me optimistic that a solution can be found.

I've had several Steam purchases turn out to be useless downloads - Steam then fobs you off with the "Third party support" which then turns out to be non-existent.

BTW: Whatever happened to Starcraft II?

The Beta is out and the game is expected to be released sometime this year.

The Starcraft beta is out, and cracked on torrents with working AI.
No LAN support without going through battle.net :down:

And you were actually willing to purchase again after the first one?

That's like "oh, just because he hit me the last 15 times I went back, this time will be different, because he loves me."

I've been on Sims 3 again now, in some ways it is less fun than 2.

Meh, they were $1.99 xmas specials, if it was a $50 game I'd have reacted a little differently. You can't buy a beer for $2...

The DRM on that is absurd. You require a constant internet connection, and if there's any network hiccups you lose whatever progress you have in the game. They had a server crash a week or two ago too, and nobody could play the game (single player!) until it was fixed. I can't buy things like that, on principle.

Gah! Crap! I was looking forward to that game. :mad:

Yeah, Ubisoft is going to lose my business on that one.

We need a way to fight piracy so lets screw paying customers. For some reason, at first glance, I'm not totally sure whether that will help.

Pillocks!

AC2 seems like quite a good game as well. Shame they don't provide a decent service to play it, constant online connection? Madness!

:picard: WTF? Single player disabled with an internet disconnection or connection problem? Even Steam doesn't (quite) stoop so low.

And yes Ziggy, punishing the people willing to pay for games because of the actions of those unwilling to pay would have to be ranked among the dumbest decisions made by a game publisher/distributor.

Servers still aren't stable. Ubisoft even lost this main website to an attack a few days ago.
Problem got so bad that the error customers get says "incorrect username or password" instead of mentioning a connection issue on Ubisoft's end.

The best part, the first wave of hacks that allowed the game to launch (no idea of completion status at this point) were released on Day 1.

My son wants that. I think he'll have to wait for his birthday, though. The Easter Bunny already picked out games.

I picked up Pokémon Platinum Saturday night, the last day to get Jirachi from GameStop, while I borrow my niece's DS. It's rather interesting playing again since I'd not played a Pokémon game since Gold & Silver came out.

Easter Bunny brings games?

Funny, I thought the Easter Bunny brought chocolate eggs :confused:

The Easter Bunny brings all sorts of wonderful things, including chocolate eggs that the Cadbury Bunny lays (and that neither kid actually likes).

My kids aren't big candy eaters. They still have Halloween candy left. The Easter Bunny knows that, so the Easter Bunny tries to make sure they get what they really want instead.

Easter Bunny brings Easter Baskets, usually full of all kinds of interesting things the kids have been waiting for. Sometimes the Easter bunny hides special eggs that include instructions or vouchers for toys or "that big thing" that doesn't fit in the basket. Oddly enough, depending on what I find in my cupholders, some of the easter bunny's eggs include cash or change.

Currently playing through Final Fantasy 13 right now. About 25 hours into the game, and only halfway. Very long, as expected from a game they worked on for almost 5 years.

Looking forward to that. Its on my wishlist maybe for my birthday (June).

Getting quite into Dragon Age, enjoying the plot developing and curious where its going to go.

We're playing the Land of Singles and Wraithy is being mean and not telling us the rules :(

After almost 3 hours, I'm finding myself in agreement.
