Portal 2 is $4. That's a good deal... I picked it up in a previous sale though.

Did the price go up for the 1.0v release or is it still $35 ? I was hoping that with the latest release they would have added racing rules, flag system or a series but they didn't. Atm I find it nothing more than a pc version of forza....pick a car, drive and stay on track  Hopefully they implement those features shortly. I did notice they improved the ffb and lowered all the excessive rattling which made it feel like a wagon on a dirt road and improved the slip angle Yeah, it's up to $50. It was on sale yesterday at 30% off. Honestly at this point, my expectations of both AC & PCars to be nothing more than a PC version of Forza. Not that it's a bad thing, just not my bread & butter...hence waiting for a 50% sale. I would consider $20-25...but honestly don't think it would get used all that much, hence my reluctance to spend a semi-large sum of money on it. |

If your a race department member you can purchase it for $34 I believe I saw them promo it a few days ago.
Pcars is my forza replacement, what I like more between the 2 is the content and pcars will replicaTe a race drivers career, raise through the classes with penalty system for each, dynamic weather, roads etc.

Ha. Looks like I may finally break down & try it out.
For what it's worth, 2013 DTM for RaceRoom was $7.49 as of last night.

I bought Bulletstorm for $3.99 but it won't run on my PC, due to Games for Windows Live, which no longer works. Steam should not sell games that have Games for Windows Live, they know full well that it is dead.

If you find it, cool, but if not, no big deal. I am done with games that don't work out of the box, hence why I am not playing anymore Project CARS until it is released in March. |

I am done with games that don't work out of the box, hence why I am not playing anymore Project CARS until it is released in March. The site where I got the fix says it's not needed anymore. It states that any Games for Windows live games should prompt you to down load a patch when you try to run them, and that patch should fix any problems with running games for windows. I just loaded up Dirt 3 on steam and it gave me the patch. |

Rather, it tried to install Games for Windows live on my PC. I had to manually delete it after the install failed. I am glad to hear that Dirt 3 will work, I might re-install that soon. I love that game. |

I just checked my install of Games for Windows Live after not using it for a year or so, and it ran a patch and the games I had in there are working again also. Just FYI.
EDIT: The program itself will not run, but the games will if you open it with the game and run the patch. That's what is going on with mine anyway.
