Some great deals. There's also an extra $15 if you spend $75 through the spring sale.

Dirt 2 for $10 is tempting.

But I still haven't played anything I got from the D2D sale last year. For some reason I barely ever play anything I buy non-steam because I forget I own it. Will wait these deals out until they pass on to steam.

What about Dark Void? I thought you were interested in that.

Democracy 2 and NWN2 gold GET.

Also, that's a nice price on Tropico for city building nerds.

The King's Bounty and Elven Legacy games are major bargains too. There's nothing on consoles that can offer so many hours of quality gaming at those prices.

$15 is still too much. Waiting for $5.

Still $10 too much for Dark Void.

What you said.

Dirt 2 is fucking awesome, especially if you can use the DX11 settings

Still wallowing in my Steam Xmas sale games to get in on this. I do want to try Tropico 3 though

Is Dark Void really that crap? The benchmark demo looked alright. I'm mostly interested in its high end Physx effects which are only available in the retail version.

Sweet, there are four weeks of sales. I'm hoping to see Risen on sale one of those weeks

I've never used D2D, how does it work? Do you have to have a client in the background? Are the games DRMed to hell? How do they handle redownloads?

You can use direct download or a download manager. As far as I know, D2D doesn't have any sort of client DRM, but the DRM is based on the game itself. So if a game is known for stupid DRM, it will be in the D2D version. You are also supposed to have unlimited re downloads, but I haven't tested that claim.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:26:52 PM »

With regards to re-downloads, D2D is actually better than Steam. All you have to do is contact them if you've installed a game one too many time and need a new key. Otoh, Steam just ignores you if Crysis' DRM is screwing you over.

Damn, I think I may need to jump on Aaaa~ for $1.95. Demo was neat, but not $15 neat. $2 is more my kind of price for it.

GTA4 is a little tempting after the recent patch. Just to see how it looks/runs on PC vs. consoles.

I wouldn't be surprised to see you get much better framerates with console settings but @1080p instead. GTA4 is much more dependent on the CPU than GPU and you've got a very fast CPU.

Nice sales this week, picked up Supreme Commander Gold. Regarding GTA IV, performance improvements aside, I think the PC port is just a much better game than its console counterpart. The aiming is spot on, unlike the clunky aiming on console.

Yeah, it's tempting. I gave up on GTA4 console about 30-40% in.
Then again I didn't actually care for the gameplay that much sooooo not sure if graphics would fix my issues with the game. But I think they would help!

archie4208 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2010, 09:32:13 PM »

Aaaa went up to $5.

Picked up Guild Wars Trilogy. $20 is a good price. I'd get Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold, but I don't think my PC can handle it...
