If amazon has a steamworks game, do you still need to download the game at amazon, or do you just get the steam key

Just punch the key into Steam and download from Steam. Downloading from Amazon can sometimes then trying to launch it on Steam will make you redownload it unless you do some crap.

Walking Dead is an amazing game. Glad I picked it up when it was on special. Highly recommended

Chivalry is pretty freaking cool.

It really is.

There is a big update coming in January that is going to add a lot of features.

This never gets old:

Was hoping for a Farcry 3 sale but seeing as it's still the no 7 best seller on Steam at full price that doesn't seem too likely :(

Borderlands again at 50% or take my chances for 60-75% later... oh gawd

Wont be any cheaper during this sale at least. It was already a Daily Deal iirc at this same price.

If it makes any difference, the game is excellent. I put around 120 hours into before playing any of the DLC.

The current flash votes are interesting...Miner Wars looks like a throwback to Descent.

Wondering if Endless Space is worth it even as a special...haven't heard a lot if they've struck that balance between the MoO2 experience with the complexity of the 3rd sans the boredom.

I'm hoping for Giana Sisters, heard a lot of good about it and it looks interesting. Miner Wars I got for cheap somewhere to activate on Steam, haven't gotten to try it out yet though it looks fun and I need to fire it up.

That's what I voted for, so I hope it does win! I have a feeling that Towns will win though. :(

Don't buy Jet Set Radio from Steam.

Instead, get the Dreamcast Bundle from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Dreamcast...ildsplaycha-20

$5 for:

Crazy Taxi [Download]
Jet Set Radio [Download]
SEGA Bass Fishing [Download]
Sonic Adventure DX [Download]
Space Channel 5 Part 2 [Download]

All games activate on Steam.

If only I could kick meself in the ballz.

[Edit] Reread the coupon, yeah clearly says 4.99. I'm super lame. Used it on SR3 Full.

I can't help but think that all these sites getting in on the massive discounts of PC games is going to push developers to move further away from making things for PC. I know sure they sell more than they would otherwise, but look at the consoles..they don't budge in price and sell plenty. The sales are great..but it's kind of a worry at the same time.
