Steam, 50% off Arkham Asylum (plus a few others)

Well my thinking is that to paly the original campaign maps in the sequal you'll technically need to own a copy of the game.

Whether or not valve officially allow this is another thing mind.

I have a feeling Valve will eventually integrate the original game with L4D2. Not sure how that's gonna play out for people who don't own the original. Maybe they'll stab us all in the back and make it a free update after paying good money for in the past.

Can anyone tell me how good the Ghostbusters game is in terms of how well it was ported to PC?

I'm tempted to buy it but if its ported badly and needs some insane spec PC to run well i'll pass. I know my CPU and RAM is up to the job but i'm concerned as to whether my 9800gt will be ok with it (I game at 1440*900)

Minimum:

OS: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo E4300 or AMD Athlon X2 +3800 *
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1800-series 512MB, Intel G45 Express Chipset, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 512MB **
DirectX®:
Hard Drive: 9 GB free hard disk space
Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card

* Dual core processors, such as the Intel Pentium D 805, are not supported
** Video cards that have only 256MB of RAM are not supported
Recommended:

That's the minimum the game suggests so you shouldn't have a problem. Downside it's another game needing to download about 10 gigs

Not that system requirements mean a whole lot, have you seen the system requirements for GTA IV?

 

[Fonz-Valo]

I tend to ignore minimum and recommended spec sheets ever since GTA 4 came out lol

Downside it's another game needing to download about 10 gigs

My ISP is going to really hate me this week lol

55GB i downloaded from steam so far this week (only have a 2mb line)

Still have KOTOR to download after Resident Evil 5 (at 92%) is finished downloading

after Resident Evil 5 (at 92%) is finished downloading

Then it seems to download another hundred MB of patches!

, you must be very patient. Ive got 10mb line and I'm getting very bored sat here waiting for resi 5 to download at 1.2mb/s.

Roll on super fast broadband!

Hah Chapparal I'm exactly the same. I've downloaded Grid, Day of Defeat Source, Fallout 3 and L4D2 within the last week and I'm only on a 2MB line. Usual download speeds are anywhere from 300-400Kbps on a good day and anywhere from 50-120Kbps on a bad one!

Kilobits? Really?

for 300-400KB/s you most have a 4mb line....(2mb tops out at about 240KB/s)

 

[dirtydog]

for 300-400kps you most have a 4mb line....(2mb tops out at about 240kps)

That's what I was thinking

Either 400 kilobits which is atrocious, or 400kB/sec which is 4Mb.

 

[Mailman86]

I just download all of my games overnight on my netbook (which is almost silent) and then transfer them to my desktop once they are done in the morning.

On my line I average about 4Mb/s.

Rub it in

Does it end at 4pm today? The whole early holiday deals, I mean...

another day to go i think..maybe 2 more days (started on 25th)

 

[Mailman86]

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was 5 days of deals, so if I remembered correctly, that should mean we get two more lots including todays?

RE: bandwidth

i downloaded grid the other day and it was 6.7gb. over 2gb of that was foreign language audio files. now to me that's a huge waste. nearly a third of the bandwidth completely wasted. they really should have an option before you download so you can choose what you want.
