New digital distributor player emerges: Atomblock
New digital distributor emerges: Atomblock
Distributor Atomblock is to launch a new download site in UK with 450 titles ready to download from clients including EA, Codemasters, Ubisoft and 2K Games. Atomblock plans to have over 1000 titles by the end of the year.
Steam Alternatives: Green Man Gaming
Green Man Gaming, a company located in the United Kingdom, is about to launch a digital download store for the PC with a difference, claiming its store will be able to offer "pre-owned" digital sales. "Previously the minute you had paid and downloaded your game it had no resale value", says Gian Luzio, Green Man’s COO. "This is extremely expensive for the gamer and does not encourage the consumer to try new genres or franchises. Our leading edge technology gives downloaded games a value that gamers can trade-in at any time".
You’re probably asking yourself? "how will this work", the COO says "We will pay significant royalties to the publisher each time the game is traded in perpetuity".
And the follow-up questions, like "how much will pre-owned games cost?" and "who’s going to determine the value of trade-ins?", sadly those are going to have to wait until Green Man launches sometime around March.
Mod DB Digital Store
The makers of ModDB website – probably the biggest modding site on the Internet – are about to open a store for selling digital video games. It’s being developed by IGN (like Direct2Drive). Development includes CRM, DRM (digital rights management) for download security, development of a flash movie player, and a shopping cart module.
This is a pretty good idea in theory – modding website selling games for user made mods.
The more Steam competitors out there the better.
Games For Windows Live store is up!
You can now buy several Games For Windows Live games using the official Microsoft Games For Windows Live application. The prices are in dollars which is ok but they aren’t really very different from other stores around the globe. Check out the Microsoft store!
Steam Alternatives: Xfire Game Store
European store: http://eu.xfirestore.com
American store: http://us.xfirestore.com
1: Get the Downloader
Once your payment has been completed, you can get the Downloader from the Confirmation Page, your Account Page or the Confirmation e-mail. This installs our Downloader (DLM.exe) on your PC, simplifying the game download process.
2: Install the Downloader
Launch the Downloader by double-clicking the DLM.exe file, and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be asked to select a folder in which to download the game installer. We advise using a different folder for each downloaded game. You can then start the download by clicking the appropriate button.
3: Install your game
Once your game has been downloaded, you can install it immediately through the Downloader prompt. Should you want to install it at a later time, just go to the folder you specified earlier and double-click the game .exe file. Please note that the Downloader uninstalls itself from your computer once the download is complete.

Some games are priced equally!
Steam: Top Games Under 5/10 introduced
I think Valve realized their opponents have those in their stores so they’ve added it: http://store.steampowered.com/news/3158/
At least they’re showing all currencies now:
Browse for the Top Games Under $10/£7/10€ or Top Games Under $5/£4/5€ and find the day’s top-sellers.
Yeah we all know one dollar IS one euro…
Games Under 5€
Games Under 10€
X-fire launches their own store!
I just found out that X-fire launched their very own game store. Some of you may know X-fire as a very nice program that tracks how many hours you have played a certain game it also has a good in-game chat, video recorder and video broadcast tool which I find very good. Now let’s get to the point, the new store might be a nice alternative to all the other game stores we know, or maybe not…?
