If you had Arkham City redeemed on Steam then you should have the GOTY edition now.

They've also worked around the not being able to gift annoyance. Still the same system, but there's now a gift link beside each game, if you copy the link and give it to a friend they'll receive the game.

Only certain games that have been updated have it removed. GTA 4 still has it

Might pick it up then, already have the two Arkham games but if I can give them on so much the better.

Damn them. Bought AA goty and scribblenauts in last steam sale. Not stopping me buying it. Will see how gifting works now.

Each game has its own key and any can be gifted. You get a link to send and they enter their email address. Think it just work like a humble bundle then. So now they can still be sold but its obvious that it was from a bundle and takes the person to their site.

Skerries

that's a fair system and should stop all this reselling nonsense, I wonder will the rest of the bundle sites follow suit

It's alright. Pretty much standard hack and slash, fight your way through countless orcs. I bought it a good while back in a sale pretty much on account of the LOTR link and just being a fan of that general medieval fantasy setting.

Worth the $1 anyway :P, even if you have all the other games. Send me a PM if you want a key.

If he doesnt want it, could I have it, as its the only game in the bundle I dont have already and it looks interesting I liked the ps2 LotR games.

Ye work away, I wouldn't play it more than likely, too much of a backlog as it is so give it to someone who will play it

Konflikt2K11

Nevermind. Just got it

Dishonored: GOTY edition. £16.99 on amazon
Xbox and PS3. The DLC campaign is as good as the main game IMO.

While trying to download my new humble bundle games I spent 5ish mins trying to figure out where the game "Confrontation" came from. Worked out it was from a previous bundle, when you have no idea where your games come from you begin to wonder if you have too many.

Pfft, wait till you start buying games you own already and don't realise it until Steam or Origin are kind enough to inform you already own them. God help you if you're buying a bundle independent of Steam/Origin. Blooming things let you redeem games more than once while still only showing one copy in your account. Money well and truly wasted. :mad:

I don't know if this has been mentions before on this thread but if you go on eBay you can get steam CD keys usually for half the price that it is on steam, they usually send keys within the hour of purchases via eBay private message. Now this isn't true for newer games but I got COD: MW 1 just the other day for 4 euro.

Examples:
Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition €15.44 (€29.99 on steam)
Tropico 3: Steam Specail Edtion €1.18 (€9.99 on steam)
Sleeping Dogs €7 (€24.99 on steam)

The original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Steam $4.99

Anyone buy from them before? I've been waiting for a MW game to drop below 5 euro for a long time.
