The reason is, Steam is making ten games free this weekend as part of its aptly titled Free Weekend promotions. The games include Company of Heroes 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Grid 2. You'll have over 48 hours to play them, as they unlock 10am Pacific time on Thursday, October 16. After that you'll need to pay for them, with the promise of substantial discounts.
it's written playable for 48 hours only hmm.gif hmm.gif

Enemy Within with the latest DLC.
While Enemy Unknown is the Vanilla XCOM.

Basically if you bought Enemy Within, you don't need to play Enemy Unknown anymore cause it's the complete version.

The purpose of having 2 options is for ppl who bought EU first and played half way then got EW. They can choose to finish EU first before starting with EW.
Different save files if not wrong.

ok, thanks for the clarify, lucky i bought the game before put too much effort on EU laugh.gif

Nice to hear you enjoy it, I enjoy it too.
To be frank, recent tomb raider series already lost the original Tomb Raider feels. I remember playing Tomb Raider I and II on PS, every night I sleep I was dreaming all possible ways of solving the level, because it is that hard, and there is 1 level that I spent 1-2months to solve, lol. The atmosphere in the game makes you immerse in it, its not about graphic and hard to explain.
Idk if I will feel the same now if I replay it happy.gif

agree with what u said, i guess most of the recent game already become linear story and easily to beat compare with prev released. it did spoiled the original feels.

another good example here is resident evil. they invest more on cinematic/action more than puzzles for user to solve. not sure about metal gear solid, as i only played the PS version. hmm.gif

Hahaha.. not really poison also, since I have been wanting to build a CPU, just that I've been thinking of delaying it for another year or so.

On a side note, anyone had any issues with Idle Master? I have 40 games to idle.  sweat.gif Worried if I might get banned idling all day. Imagine the games I can buy after selling all the cards of the 40 games  drool.gif  drool.gif

No cards are well cards. You collect cards to make badges and you make badges to level up your steam account to get goodies like more friends slots and other things like achievement showcase/screenshot showcase etc etc.

please excuse me for asking this silly question.
where to check my cards list? and the cards available in the particular game?

It's show in your badge page. As you can see from your attachment, the image highlighted are the cards you have already collected.
If you click on the particular badge, you will find more information regarding the cards you still need to collect.

but it said that "No card drops remaining"
and i checked at steam FAQ, we need to trade it at market or friends to complete the whole card series

Each game will only give you half of the total cards required to make a badge. The reason for this is so you have to either buy it from the market or trade with another friends. This will result in extra revenue for Valve.

That's the main reason for Valve to create these cards.

If you have no interest in making badges, you can sell the cards in the market for some steam cash.

No card drops remaining means you can't get any more cards by playing the game. You have to trade in market or with friends, or buy from market to complete your collection.

There's a fixed amount of cards for certain games (example, you can get 4 cards from Arkham City), as you play the game, you will automatically get the card in your inventory. It's random how long it takes to get a card. Sometimes you play for 10 minutes then you get a card, sometimes you play 30 minutes only get a card. After you get 4 cards, you can't get any from the game anymore.

Some of us just sell the cards instead of crafting the badges.

Thank you for clarify thumbup.gif
