Top price for Sturmovik, even though the code didn't work for me.

It activated on steam for me. I believe it's a steamworks title, it says that it needs steam on gamefly, anyway. Are you using the correct code? It should be in the 'my purchases section'.

edit.

I'm guessing you meant the code at the bottom of my post? that was for gamersgate, sorry my post wasn't clear.

Far Cry 3 £19.85 for pre-order

Good price. Shame it doesn't use Steamworks.

What's the problem with not using Steamworks?

Far Cry 3 isn't available on Steam at all.

The option seems to be buy a non-steam copy, or don't buy at all...

Cheers for the reply.

I agree, but it's frustrating the Far Cry 3 isn't available on steam in the UK!

Not sure if this has been posted but gog.com are running a 'pick 5 games and pay $10' deal (I think it worked out at £6.48). Mostly indie games, but some really good ones, bought 5 of them myself just then.

I'm not 100%, but I think you can also get the deal multiple times, so if you wanted all 20, you could feasibly buy all of them for $40

if your into adventure games please pick resonance from that gog list its awesome

Yes it is, just not available outside of America on Steam yet because there is a pre-order bonus that they aren't allowing non-US citizens to grab, use a VPN to take a look. Assassin's Creed 3 will be available on the 22nd and Far Cry 3 on the 29th.

Indeed, after abit of research it would appear that we won't be getting them on Steam for a few weeks after release, as it is a desperate attempt to save the high street retailers such as GAME, who stock them in retail.

To be honest, if the retail games had steamworks codes, I'd go grab them, but they don't. I'd rather get it digitally on Steam a few weeks late than grab it retail and have to deal with U-Fail.
