    Someone give me a good reason not to buy Space Channel 5: Part 2 on Steam.
    Quick, I fear for my money ;;

    Wait, what? When did this happen?
    Holy hell.

    Well, Sega's newly-announced strategy for the consoles has been to try and release some of the Dreamcast library. Everything apart from SC5 2 is just a digital version of a pre-existing PC port from years back, though - and I seem to recall they weren't brillliant with the tweakability and stuff like gamepad support. So if they actually went to the trouble to port Space Channel 5 specifically, why the second one?

    Honestly, all I want is my Shenmue I&II bundle with multi-language support and custom resolutions. Then I'll get to play through all of the wanky sequel mods that will inevitably surface.

    Ok this needs to be said again, SpaceChem is an AWESOME puzzle game. It´s basic mechanics are very simple but the puzzles made from them are just incredible. Anyone with even a passing interest in puzzle games should give this a try.

    I´m playing the demo and after playing all the tutorial missions the first real mission just kicked my ass, badly, and so did the second. I had to go to Youtube to understand the game mechanics I was missing and then went on to build my own solutions. For the third mission I decided I wouldn´t do that no mather what, so after messing with it for some time I finally figured out a solution. Feeling very proud I went on to see how I compared to other people, since everytime you finish a puzzle the game show´s you the average time, number of items, etc. that other players used to solve it. Let´s just say it wasn´t very good, since I fell on the bottom 15-20%, still I´m so proud of it I´m not sure I´ll be able to resist getting the full version once I finally finish the demo. <3<3<3

    You can also use a 360 controller.

    It is not a good idea to use one with this game, though.

    I have put a lot of hours into Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, and yet I only recently finished ME2 and I'm currently trying to finish DA. The reason for me not finishing them earlier is that I kept starting over with new characters and couldn't just settle with one for each game and get on with it. Eventually, I got frustrated with myself and instead of trying to create pretty characters, I did the opposite. I tried to create the worst looking twats ever and was determined to finish the games with these. This actually worked great and now I'm probably more attached to my "ugly" characters than I ever would have been to a couple of pretty ones.

    Here's a Steamshot of my DA character, a noble dwarven warrior. How can you not love a face like that, eh?

    http://steamcommunity.com/id/Metalslave/screenshot/560902241153633632/?tab=public

    Here's a second shot of him in action. I'm running a couple of mods, but I don't think it's anything that shows up here.

    I'm sure Sonic Adventure hasn't aged well, but I'm awfully tempted to pick it up. It's been "that game that got away" for a while now.

    Edit: Eh, I guess it makes a lot more sense to wait for a sale on the Dreamcast Collection.

    Yessss.

    It's so good. It ate up four hours before I had a chance to look up. It's definitely my next Steam purchase. The real fun starts when you have to use multiple reactors to make more complex molecules in stages and then have them delivered.

    And I love that the game will make a video of your solution and upload it to your Youtube account for you while in-game.

    Yep, I can't wait to get the full version and play with more chemicals.

    Hey guys, I am not sure where else to put this

    I have the early-2011 Macbook Pro (most basic one, 13")

    would it be able to run Assassin's Creed 2 off the Mac OS? I am absolutely terrible with specs

    here is the info:
    4gb ram
    Intel Core i5 2.3ghz
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 w/ 384mb total VRAM

    Does anyone know if the Dreamcast collection stuff supports the 360 controller? I have a retail copy of Crazy Taxi already, but I played it with keyboard controls because the triggers on the controller didn't work due to the game being pre-XInput.

    I should probably just install that rather than buying it on Steam, regardless of controls and version differences.

    Second one's scarce in Europe, where it was basically never released aside from a few preview copies.

    Was reading Eurogamer´s Review (9/10 BTW) and this caught my eye.
    SpaceChem and Super Meat Boy. One is a game of atomic engineering, the other is about a skinless kid and his hot girlfriend. There's not too much common ground there, except on this essential level: they both nail the "Look what I made!" factor.

    Overcome a challenge in either of these games, and you get the urge to call someone into the room, point at the screen and proclaim, "Look what I made!"

    Haha, that´s exactly the feeling I had when finishing some puzzles, except that my girlfriend has PMS so if I called her I would probably only hear a "Pfffff big fucking deal".

    I like them but they're a bit clunky and can be buggy. Best bet would be to try the demos.

    Spellforce 2 Demo
    Spellforce 1 Demo

    Both demos are of expansionless original but they can give you an idea. Also they're a bit old so I have no idea if they work on Windows 7 or the like.

    So some of you may remember a while back I was all happy because I got Mass Effect and the Mass Effect 2 demo running at decent framerates on my laptop by disabling post-processing effects. Now we've got the screenshots feature I thought I'd show you guys how they look. They're not as pretty as on most of your machines, I'm sure, but considering this is an over-two-year-old laptop with a very modest ATI HD3450, I think they look alright, and they're very playable now.

    (They look even better to me right now since my 360 RRoD'd yesterday and I need my goddamn fix.)

    Spoiler'd for big; four 1280x720 shots. The lack of AA doesn't seem nearly as obvious in motion, either...

Open up a Steam support ticket and hope it gets resolved? No, he's going up to someone in the office, slap them with his dick, say, "Bitch, give me my account back," and done. Sixty cheeseburgers will also then be delivered to his desk in apology.

    True!

    I'm not sure how much protection Steam Guard will really give, though. All it means is that they have to get your email account instead of your Steam account.
