For $5, what the hell? Probably going to grab that and something else cheap.

Controls on the PC are awful, if I remember right there's no mouse sensitivity and it feels like you are aiming through a tub of molasses, and the movement controls were outright wank. Hurray for Capcom's human interface design team of now legendary incompetence.

1701 A.D. for $15 on gamersgate is the deal of the weekend, given that it is a S-class city-builder game that holds its own with the classics in the genre.

Lost Planet sucks

Especially the last level. Made me so frustrated that I quit and sold it to Gamestop for a stick of bubble gum and some lint. It was a fair trade.

I grabbed it for five...  I'll just plug in the 360 controller to play.

Valve has said if that ever happens they'll send out an update over Steam that unlocks the DRM on all your purchased games.

Always wanted to try out the campaign but never got around to buying this on 360.

I played the demo, controls are OK.  As long as the final version is at least set up the same it will be worth the 5 dollar asking price.

I bought LP out of the clearance bin at Target for $7.50 a long time ago, and it was crap.

I've had an OK time for the first two levels.  The graphics still look pretty nice and it controls just fine with the 360 pad.  The AI is completely fucktarded but it's still pretty fun.

I'm guessing the PC version doesn't have 90 degree turn buttons?
