MSUSteve:

That price was only for those that preordered, right?

Unfortunately, yes.

I grabbed Doom Resurrection at the sale price.

It’s not too bad for $3, but it’s totally not worth $10.

The tilt-to-aim thing is a little goofy.

Cool, was thinking about picking this up but I definitely will now

I did a search and didn’t see anything recent posted on this. Gamersgate is selling S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl for $10. I’ve only played Clear Sky myself but have heard people rave about SOC, so tossing it out there just in case.

Went to grab it and they’re apparently out of codes.

EDIT: And now it’s back up to $15, but with a $5 gift certificate for music in the Amazon MP3 store. Fortunately I buy enough music from them that it’s a wash.

EDIT PART 2: I just realized that the $5 music store certificate is good for all Online Game Code games, so if you buy the $5 ones you’re effectively getting a load of free music as well. Hmm…

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was out of codes for awhile, but it seems to be back up now and still at $10. I wish Trials HD was the same!

The PC version of Dead Space is going for $12.90 plus shipping at GoGamer as part of its latest “Madness”. Is it worth it at that price, and is the PC version sufficiently bug-free, or should I just wait for the 360 version to become cheap?

frank_austin · 2009-08-15T13:48:14.000Z

The game itself is definitely worth it at that price, though I can’t speak to your other questions.

once you turn off V-Sync it’s great

I just bought the PS3 version for $20 at Target and loved it, but I played the demo on the PC and it’s why I was so excited when I saw it for that price. Would have rather played it on the PC but I couldn’t pass up the price (wish I had now).

The only thing I ran into on the PC was you can’t set vsync in the game, it makes it a laggy mess. If you want vsync you have to set it in your video card driver control panel. Other than that it seemed to run well.

Buy it now.

This. The PC port of Dead Space is pretty much identical to the 360 version. Performance is really good. Like others have said, just leave Vsyinc off.

Direct2Drive has Zeno Clash for $7.50 this week. It says the DRM used is Steam, so it looks like it will just become part of your Steam library.
