Is there any community left?
Yeah, folks still play. The shadowrun community is fucking hardcore as shit but it's a good game. It's a Vista or 7 game but you can play it with some XP workaround if you want.
Seems there's going to be a $1 game each day until Thursday I think. I'm hoping Lost Planet, Dawn of War 2 or Dirt 2 is part of the sale.
Known Issue: Because previously released Xbox 360 games do not use the new codec automatically, in-game chat with previously release cross-platform games will not work. Titles affected are Shadowrun, Universe at War, Lost Plant: Colonies Edition, and Blazeblue. GFWL players will hear nothing if Xbox player talks, Xbox players will hear static if PC player talks while in those games. Fixing this issue requires Title Updates for the Xbox 360 versions of the affected titles. Publishers can choose to issue these at their discretion.
VP still shows as 19.99
I bought VP because I still haven't played my X360 copy and since this has achievements, it saves me the effort of getting up and putting the disc in my X360 if I ever want to play it. That's worth a buck.
I imagine Viva Pinata looks even sexier on a modern PC :drool
How is it resolution limited? In order for GFW branding your game has to support resolutions up to 1900x1200.

It doesn't. At least on my machine with my video card and my monitor. Somebody else mentioned the same thing over at GAF. You have to go in and edit some config file but I can't find that file on my computer. So it only goes up to like 1280 x 1024 in the options.

I was able to bump it up to 1680x1050 on my computer.

Weird. I have an ATI card. Don't know if that makes a difference but I couldn't bump mine up although my monitor and video card are capable of going above that.
Shadowrun also locks you to 30fps if you want v-sync.
Some weird stuff with these X360 -> official PC ports.
Is Viva one of those games where shit happens even when you're not playing and you have to babysit it?
Is Viva one of those games where shit happens even when you're not playing and you have to babysit it? I still bought it (I had like 3000 points I somehow forgot about) but haven't downloaded it yet and only want to if I can load it up when the mood strikes me.No, you're prolly thinkin' of Animal Crossing.

I couldn't get into Stalker no matter how hard I tried :(
I bought STALKER and never played it. Should I even bother with it now? It's like Fallout, yeah?

When I got 1000 on 360, I left my farm with like 6 Fuzzybears and 6 Chewnicorns worth $100,000 each

Pretty sure you're thinking about Animal Crossing here.EDIT: SUCK A DICK CHRONOVORE.
EDIT2: Nvm, I should suck a dick, I didn't see there was a second page before posting. Pwnt.
Disagree on the FAQ thing. The game is pretty open on the requirements to lure animals to your farm. There are a few things that will require a FAQ if you are lazy to figure out, like how to breed certain animals. Unfortunately since this is PC I can't send myself or anyone my awesome leet animals. Must breed Fuzzybears.

Does Max Payne 2 have achievements now?
Played the first one and loved it. How does the 2nd one stand up?
Shadowrun is also hard as fuck to get into. The folks playing before the sale are monsters. Some of the best shooter players out there.
I bought STALKER and never played it. Should I even bother with it now? It's like Fallout, yeah?
Not really. It's far more hardcore, more difficult, and the shooting is much more realistic. Don't expect to whip out VATS and blast a huge group of guys, you'll need to stop or even kneel down and carefully aim each shot. It's also a darker game, with some really creepy parts.

I sure am missing something with the shooting. Are there any better guns to find before the first shootout because the pistol you start with suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Isn't Shadowrun already dead on 360, as-in "the servers are shut down and there is no way to get a match going"? The PC just uses typical, open PC matchmaking then?
PC users can play with 360 users so that would be kinda weird if they shut one side down.
