Also of note today is Trine for US$1.99, Serious Sam HD for US$7.99, and the DOOM pack for US$6.24.

There's a couple of things that I want to do to earn tickets but I do not have any beefy computers nearby to use it. Still far away from my gaming rig. Sad part is that by the time I get back, I'd be 1 day too late. The pain~ The pain~

I wonder if that other laptop can handle Trine...

Thinking of picking up Trine, trying the demo (I have 21 hours to decide). For some reason I didn't pick up torchlight yesterday.

EDIT: Nevermind, looked at screenshots, I remember trying it and not really caring for it. Not a huge fan of MMORPG style RPGs I prefer games like fallout.

EDIT2: Edit 1 was about torchlight.

Really? I liked Trine a bunch. Torchlight I didn't touch up on. I probably should have.

Looks like the other laptop is capable of handling Trine, thank goodness... and managed to get the achievement and earned a ticket.

Sorry the edit was about torchlight.

I downloaded Trine and it crashed at the end of the loading map page for the beginning every time, no matter what settings I used. So I will pass on it for now.

Franchise sale for Need for Speed. Bundle pack at US$34.99 and contains NFS Underground, Hot Pursuit, Shift, and Shift 2 Unleashed.

There's also the Deus Ex pack (US$2.49) which contains the Game of the Year edition and Invisible War.

And there's Monkey Island bundle for $7.49.

Lastly, Civ V for US$24.99... if you prefer that kind of game.

And for the Guild Wars players in us, the trilogy (Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall) is up for US$14.99, translating to 5 bucks per campaign. Tempting for me but... well, I already got enough accounts (4) as it is.

Thinking of picking up Deus Ex for 2.50 given I never played it...

It is 5 bucks for the whole Deus Ex pack.

The whole pack is not necessary. Just get the original. It's a strong candidate for best game of all time.

Tempted by Guild Wars, as it seems to be the only Free to Play MMORPG which isn't either a) crippled without micropayments, b) crippled if you're not in Japan or c) crap.

That and the fact that I've just picked up Fallout New Vegas, as I was waiting for it to get cheap, and £8 was cheaper than Amazon.
