  • Steam on Facebook

    Steam is now officially on Facebook. Our group should get bigger on there ASAP. By the way we just started a group on MySpace.com, join our group now!

  • Free game(s) on GOG.com!

    If you have an account on Good Old Games you can add a game called Beneath a Steel Sky to your account for free! Enjoy! :) Yes I know that there are some free games on GOG (three exactly) but maybe some of you didn’t know that, that’s just one of them.

  • G2Play.net selling stolen CD-Keys?

    According to SavyGamer G2Play.net is selling stolen CD-Keys…at least for the game called Blood Bowl. Read the whole story in here (it’s pretty long!) Another thing about G2Play.net. In the past (like two or a year ago) their prices were really attractive, but since Valve changed the currency for countries around the world G2Play’s prices…

  • Weekend Deal: GRID – priced fairly!

    I can’t believe that this week’s weekend deal (GRID®) is priced fairly (kinda) around the planet. So I guess I can recommend it to everyone in Europe (including UK which has even lower price than the rest of the world, but it’s around 1-2$ difference so…).

  • The Great Drug Wars Game-Name Switcheroo

    Ever heard of Drug Wars? And what about Merchants of Brooklyn? Still nothing? Well, it’s the same game, only with different name. Read the whole story here: Would a game by any other name still get a 35 on Metacritic? Let’€™s say you’€™re a game designer, and your latest creation debuts to harsh reviews. You’€™ve…

  • Left 4 Dead 2 – preview

    …While there are plenty of subtle changes that fans will notice, the meat of the game is exactly the same as before. You play in a team of four through various movie-inspired levels, taking on the zombie horde that stand between you and your extraction. The concept is simple: If you stick together, it’s easier…

  • Street Fighter IV – game released but encoded

    The multi award winning game was just released on Steam today, and right in the moment when the game was released no one could launch it ’cause the files remained encoded after the release for over an hour. Everything seems to be ok now though. Few people contacted me about it so I decided to…

  • Price comparison script!

    One of our users tor have created a great script, I will just copy paste of what he said on the forums: I’ve created a simple Greasemonkey script (aka. user script) that can be installed in Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera. When viewing a game in the Steam store the script will modify the page…

  • 2k Pack different games!

    Hi Girls, I am watching this site and group now for a while and even if I think that some insults in the announcements are really childish and nothing into setting up news I have something for you. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1765/?cc=de http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1764/?cc=us (fixed URL!) On the US you get the Civ3 Complete, which you will not get…

  • Valve Anti-Cheat system does make mistakes?

    Update: It couldn’t be a free weekend account because in that period of time there was no free weekends with VAC enabled games. It might be a guest pass though. So my bad if it is ;P —————————————————— This is a pretty delicate subject. No one really knows how Valve Anti-Cheat system works. Can you…

  • Some fair pricing, eh?

    I think I found the "wtf?" of the day. Countries being in Tier 3, you know, those countries that pay the least when it comes to Valve-games – as it is supposed to be, actually pay more for certain games. Four of these games are published by SEGA and three are developed by The Creative…

  • Techland – new online distribution store

    Few days ago I’ve asked if their latest game (Call of Juarez 2: Bound in Blood) is going to be equally priced all over the world on Steam platform. I’ve received a reply few days after that and I found out that Techland is about to open their own digital distribution store. Techland is one…

  • Heroes Pack fail

    In one of today’s weekend deals we have a pretty nice pack of the Might and Magic titles. But something is really bothering most of us so I decided to post this here. The deal has different content package all over the planet, for example in Slovakia, Poland or Czech Republic the game has 3…

  • Mouths wide shut

    A user called gimpymoo created a thread on Steam Forums called Should Valve open a European Office?. After few hours the thread got shut down…by the Steam Forums Administrator, and apparently for him an office in Australia (that’s where he’s from) is a priority and he decided to close the thread. In case this gets…

  • Valve divides Europe

    If you’ve been reading the Steam forums or our forums lately you probably noticed that right now Valve divided Europe into some crazy 3 different zones. Our friend Rhonin the wizard calls them tiers so lets just keep it that way. So what’s it all about? It’s pretty simple, right now if you live in:…

  • Chronicles of Mystery – The Scorpio Ritual and the weekend deal…

    This is some serious mystery alright, this game is $19.99 in the United States and…29.99€ in European Union (nearly $42)! Boycott FTW. I think they don’t even realize how stupid this looks. They want us to pay double? No thanks, and publishers wonder why is piracy so popular. Of course we do not support piracy…
