Does anyone know if "Company of Heroes: Gold Edition" and "Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor" will activate on Steam? I have a few friends that have been playing that and would like to join them for $15 total. Thanks in advance!

I can't pass up saints row 2 for $5! Great deals! Thanks for the link. :awe:

You'll probably find that you should have. The game has some MAJOR issues on the PC, runs way to fast in a lot of cases. I picked it up on Steam for $5 awhile back, and it was basically unplayable IMO. It's a shame, because I love it on the PS3, and wanted the benefits of the PC version (higher resolution, etc), but I could never get it to run properly, and from what I understand, there were no plans to patch it to fix the issues.

There is a mod for the speedup issue in the Steam forums. I bought it but it seems it is a cheap clone of GTA without a story and worse graphics. It is closer to San Andreas. I also bought Juiced 2 for $3.75 and having more fun with it.

Does anyone know how long you have to download the actual games once you download the installer?

I bought Metro 2033 last week and activated it through Steam. I had a lot of trouble getting it to work due to issues with the stupid required PhysX drivers (installation kept failing and game would crash almost immediately after launching) but eventually I prevailed.
