    For anyone wondering, all the games activate on steam except for Tomb Raider Underworld.
    Bought it myself a few minutes ago.


    Just bumping this -


    Saw it mentioned on another forum that Tomb Raider Underworld keys now activate on Steam , so went ahead and ordered :)

    Downloading now through Steam :D

    ( Don't blame me if you're key for Underworld doesn't work with Steam though :D )



    Adding this ,from another forum -

    Clarification regarding Tomb Raider: Underworld: It's not supposed to be a Steam key. However, the Amazon rep on CAG said that they were accidentally given a batch of Steam keys instead of whatever they were supposed to be (GFWL, maybe?). As of about an hour ago when I purchased it, they were still giving out Steam keys. However, there's a chance that they'll either run out of Steam keys and get a fresh batch of the right ones or correct the error, so it's not guaranteed.

    Worked perfectly for me - downloading now .

    They seemed to have changed the format for the Underworld keys , and new purchases are redeemable on Steam .

    Mine has 3 groups of 5 xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

    I saw it mentioned on another forum , so took the chance .


    When did you purchase ?

    Ah that makes sense so if they've changed to 15 characters. Steam only takes 15 or 25 character codes.
    I bought it on Thursday, so I guess I'm outta luck.

    When I read the post about the Steamable keys for Underworld , I said "feck it , I might as well :D "

    I keep dipping into the money I have allocated on my credit card for the Steam sale :rolleyes:

    Saw Metroid: Other M for €7 in HMV in the Pavilions today, second hand but seems pretty cheap.

    I have an idea of how to purchase from Amazon.com, but is there a guide or sticky somewhere to refer to?

    I just reinstalled steam for the first time after doing a restore in preparation for the sale. So figured may give this offer a shot

    You just need to put in a US address, preferably for a state with no sales tax, e.g. Delaware. You can use your own CC without issue.

    I set up a fake American address ( in New Hampshire - no sales tax ) in my Amazon account , and made it my default billing and shipping address .

    Added the games ( Square Enix bundle ) to basket , paid at checkout , then loked at my games list in Amazon to get the Steam keys .

    Added games to Steam , then went back to Amazon , and changed my settings back to the way they were - billing address , shipping address etc .

    No problems

    Sorry, assumed he had a link in there was asleep when I read the topic. It was one of the Indie developers that mentioned the date previously I think. Hopefully they were right.. The day by day sale info to make up for it, no prices.

    Anybody want a free game ?

    I came across a link with details about a free game offer from a german online game store .

    I'm not sure how much longer the offer will run for , so grab one now .

    There are ten to chose from ( you can pick only one )

    The site is in german , but is easy enough to navigate .

    Basically , go to -
    McGame.com/store/freebees

    Select a a free game , and on the right of the game page , click where it says "Gratis Downloaden"
    Register an account (email address , and password twice ).

    You'll get a confirmation email .


    Click on it , and fill in your details - Name ,gender , date of birth etc .

    Save your details , and the game should appear in your library for download .

    Do not register before selecting a free game

    I got Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown :D


    The games are -

    Anno 1503: Gold Edition
    Heroes of Might and Magic V: Gold Edition
    Settlers: Heritage of Kings
    Rayman
    Splinter Cell: Double Agent
    Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
    Silent Hunter 4: Gold
    Driver: Parallel Lines
    Rainbow Six: Lockdown
    Abenteuer auf dem Reiterhof: Die Wilden Mustangs


    The links where I found this are

    Make shop account to get one of 10 downloadable older games for free. : GameDeals
    According to the Reddit link , Anno is german only .

    http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324493

    As far as I know , none of the games activate on Steam

    Have fun

    Today Greenmangaming are giving away Hacker Evolution Untold, and as Nollag said, a 20% off voucher when you purchase it. This 20% off voucher can be used on their sale items too, according to their Facebook account!

    They're really pushing it with the Steam sale around the corner :)

    But bear in mind, the 20% off on steam isn't a daily deal.
