Online store all no special transport cost and AU dollar is bigger than US dollar, they still dare to sell AU region with that expensive price than US region.

It is because the distributors wants to encourage you to buy from the stores. Instead of buying digital and they get no profit at all.

I think it probably wont go any lower than 69AUD, considering games get a 10% entertainment tax from the government.

not so bad retail at least it is worth it, they need to ship and distribute and you get extra freebies.
nth much on the 1st mission is pretty much like tutorial on character control, line of sight etc. but I hope the 1st mission is not scripted

Yea, you can put it that way too.

I think my copy of BF3 was automatically upgraded to a very nicely made steel box.

If im not wrong, the first mission is scripted, which is kinda disappointing. I rather see that they provide some generic soldiers and let them die, instead of using xcom soldiers in the tutorial.

Not sure if im slow. http://www.humblebundle.com/

Humble Indie Bundle 6
1) Torchlight 1
2) Rochard
3) S.P.A.Z
4) Shatter
5) Vessel

More than average:
1) BIT.TRIP.RUNNER
2) Dustforce
3) Gratuitous Space Battles
4) Jamestown
5) Wizorb
*
Still, i think this is a very content packed bundle. And the games that comes with it are mostly amazing, for instance, SPAZ, Rochard and Tourchlight.

1 question here , is it steam is free from hack/aimbot/bugs ?
*
Depending on games, Modern Warfare 3 is filled with hackers and aimbots, but other games like Team Fortress 2 are very much hacker free.

Well, congrats on your first original game.

Remember, if you dont really need the game, dont buy it. Wait for sales.

No thanks. Phone games should stay on the phone, not pc.

The phone games port to pc is even worse than console port because phone games are not designed to be played any longer than short burst. Not to mention their questionable money grabbing business strategy.

To be honest, Galaxy on Fire 2 is a great iPhone game, but as a PC game, it is quite mediocre. It is because these games are not meant to be played for more than 30 minutes before it feels repetitive.

Wait so

Walking Dead Eps 4

This is definitely the best week for gaming for the whole year.

And it is a miracle that both XCOM and Dishonored turned out to be really really good game. I think Dishonored might even be a candidate for Game of the Year, while XCOM follow closely behind.

Looks like i can forget the massive flop with Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3 early this year. Still, the first half of the year wasnt that bad as great games like Tribes Ascend, Alan Wake and Sins of Solar Empire: Rebellion. It is nothing compared to the amount of amazing games coming out for the past month or so, namely Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, Darksiders 2 and Torchlight 2.

You should. Blood Money and Human Revolution are really good games. Sup Com 2 is alright. If you like JRPG, you'll like Last Remnant.

other 2 not include?

To be honest, you dont need really the other 2, as they only give you a small mission. And the extra 2 ability points kinda ruin the game's pacing.

I disagree. Dishonored looks like a gem too, despite it is short.

Just received an email from Steam, mentioning that 'We have found some problemes with your steam account and in order to help maintain the security of your Steam account, please verify your email address by clicking the following link:
Click Here To Verify Your Email.'

Is this a scam or real?
*
Steam will never ask you to login on some external site. At most, Steam will only send you some code to verify your login in a new computer.

If what did you copy is correct, the email spelled "problems" as "problemes", which means it is a scam email.

Do not click it.
