From cheapassgamer.com, PNY is giving away free seriel codes to Crazy Machines 2. Just head to http://portal.xlr8gaming.net/?page=speakvisual and register, play the spin the wheel game (unlimited spins until you win), and it will give you a serial code and a link to download it from the nVidia website.

Not bad for a little freebie to have on the side.

I will probably pick up Sylpheed for 10 bucks.

Cool, Thanks for posting it!

You know you’re taking advantage of the Steam bargains too frequently when you are looking down your Uninstall list and think ‘Bugger, I didn’t realise I actually own that’. I’m looking at you Two Worlds.

Based on my brief time with Two Worlds, I don’t blame you for forgetting you owned it.

Unfortunately, I didn’t forget to buy it in the first place.

No one noting that the Steam weekend deal is Empire: Total War for 50% off? For shame. ($25 for the regular edition, $35 for the WTF moneygrab “Special Forces edition” and its six extra units.)

Albert_Woo · 2009-06-19T16:06:53.000Z

Steam weekend deal is Empire: Total War for $24.99 and the Special Forces Edition for $34.99.

Amazon will have deals on PS3 games all day on Monday.

Same page, for me. But, bah. I looked, too!

Aye, here’s hoping to Civ Rev and Valkryia Chronicles.

Ok, so I’m the only person in the world who quite liked Jericho. Just got it off Steam for 9.99, and had a pretty good time. I’m surprised it reviewed as badly as it did, especially a couple of years ago… I just like buddy AI shooters :)

Moggraider · 2009-06-21T19:15:54.000Z

I played it early this month and liked it for a good while too, but it got too repetitive. I think it may have been slightly underrated; reviewers seemed eager to slam it, and it came out during the busy fall season, which didn’t help. Playing it, though, you notice things that could’ve been better, instead of being immersed. For example: the environments are samey; nobody’s mouth moves during talky bits (which are frequent); and the sound mixing is weak too – the game’s practically in mono.

But sure, it’s probably worth $10 for “fans of the genre,” which I am. I beat Timeshift and Blacksite, but not this game, though.

MSUSteve · 2009-06-22T05:53:46.000Z

I think Jericho got beat up primarily because of the awful QTEs that are peppered into its gameplay.

Reminder, today all of Amazon’s Gold Box Deals are PS3 related. From @GamerDeals, with my guesses in parenthesis:

* 9 am EST - [X-Men Origins: Wolverine - $39.98](http://www.amazon.com/X-Men-Origins-Wolverine-Uncaged-Playstation-3/dp/B001PKHRUK/ref=xs_gb_AEIG2YC9HR0MA?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pfRdReplace=1)
* 1 pm EST - If only Jack Ryan had wings (HAWX)
* 3 pm EST - Nothing else matters
* 6 pm EST - Prepare for the future
* 9 pm EST - Step into the ring with the Eighth Wonder of the World (WWE Legends)

Heh, those do seem to be the barometers of shooter fandom.

This sounds like Guitar Hero: Metallica to me.

Thanks for this, it’s an awesome game! I’d recommend it to anyone that likes puzzle/construction type games.

One little bother though, each puzzle has primary and secondary objectives. You get bonus points for the secondary but if you accidentally complete the primary before you’ve set up the secondary you have to quit out to the main menu to do it again. I’d like an option to just retry for a better score.

It is. Specifically, the CE.
