    The Saboteur, Bayonetta and Beatles RB and a couple of others, nothing too great.

    just a question.

    is it trustable? basicly you pay for a cd key, which you can just enter in to steam?

    Bought from them before.
    Seem fine never any issues personally but some got their keys revoked by Valve around the L4D2 release IIRC. Valve didn't like them spending so little money on their games.
    I'd have no problem buying EA Download Manager games off them but I'd be a tiny bit wary and do some looking into that particular title before dropping money into a Valve game on g2Play.

    intresting.

    i would only want that website for steam games. i love steam platfrom, but i wount say anything new to the crowd here - pricing is just awefull for ireland.

    i was even paying to my friend by paypal in north so they would just buy a game for me and gift it.

    so steam keys can be dodgy so?

    I quit shortly after the the bit with the
    self-licking boobs that excreted unbaptised babies
    .

    Unsatisfying combat is the reason I stopped playing. I could see someone wanting to play it for the spectacle, to see what ridiculous thing the developers would come up with next.

    Mirrors Edge is an extraordinary experiment let down by developers who didn't fully realise what they had in their hands. Also crappy indoors level.

    But at three euro it's certainly worth a go. Shows an attempt to do something genuinely different. With a second chance a sequel would genuinely be exciting. As is it's a game that frustrates as much as it succeeds. The very first level probably sees the game at it's best!

    Thats as fair an assessment as there could be I think, and at €3 it's certainly well worth a punt.

    i think its an excellent game to be honest, it does something different and does it fairly well. 3 euro is a great bargain

    To be fair once you get proficient at Mirror's edge it truly becomes a superb game, when everything clicks together there's nothing better.

    I think I paid about that on a Steam sale. I have to say I really liked it. It looked completely original - I loved the colours. I think I'm in the minority there. I would love if they ever made a sequel.

    Enjoy!

    They had at least ten of them in Dundrum a few days ago but they weren't priced at €39.99 (i think) but might have dropped since then. Give them a ring first thing tomorrow and see if they have one and see if they'll reserve on for you there. Obviously, if it suites you that is.:rolleyes:

    The download size for those games is phenomenal. Just tried to install my copy from Steam and it says that F.E.A.R 1 (no expansion packs) will be 16Gb. Just letting people know if they are tight on bandwidth/download limit.

    i think the actual dlc packs are included in the regular fear download, and the dlc downloads are just activations. coz all the dlcs and fear 1 are all 16gb, yet the total plus fear 2 is just 28gb

    so you could probably buy now and space the downloads over a while

    bargain price though, cant go wrong really. im looking forward to getting stuck into them ahead of fear 3

    first fear is amazing game. A.I. alone will make you sweat. put it up on hard, and enjoy being outplayed by a.i. ;)

    i allways tryed to get in to second one, but second one lost atmosphere, as it went for more: jump out "boo" every 5 mins so you go meh very soon, wheres Fear 1 make you to look each corner twice for 2 hours and then "boo" and you **** your pants.

    Just looked on their website and seemingly Sins of a Solar Empire - Trinity is 50% off as well.

    Excellent game!
