Thanks for the answer. Well, 7$ isn't that much so I just went ahead and bought the bundle. Is there a way to check what version of a game I got without installing, shooting people in the face and having a look at the color of the blood or whatever?

Ok you're the first to reply, so competition's over folks! I'll send a PM.

Hm, I don't know for sure, but if you've already activated the games on Steam, what I would do is right-click on BioShock, select Properties and then the Language tab. Since the store page says the cut version is only available in German, if you can select other languages here, it might be an indication that it's international and uncut?

Well that's amazing. Thank you very, very much!!!!
This isn't excactly a gifting thread so I'm double thankful for this.

Alright, I'm fairly positive it's one version for all. I installed Bioshock through Steam and can pick from several languages. Also, when you arrive in Rapture some dude is killed by a slicer and in the cut version there's supposed to be no blood in that sequence. Since there's blood in my version I guess that settles it. Don't have time to test the other games but it would be pretty surprising if they went international with one game and regional with others.

Good to know, thanks!

Ok cool. Yeah I've got some bundles from them which were aggregated games all on one key, and others using links instead of keys. Not keen on the aggregated keys unless I want all of the games within a grouping for sure but I'm ok with the links instead of keys. But it's good to know what you get in advance too. :) I think I'll hold off until the last day of the bundle or so as I'm not sure whether to just get the first tier for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, or to go for the 2nd tier also. Sometimes the prices drop over time after the initial popularity wave dies off on new bundles. Gives me time to see if anyone else has any problems, and to think about it instead of being too whimsical. :)

Has anyone who is a fan of the XCOM game series played The Bureau? Haven't really seen any comments about that particular game from fans of the series. Not a decision making factor though, just curious.

"Betrayal! This game suuuuuuuuuuuuucks!"

Heh. It's a mediocre Mass Effect clone. At this price, you could do worse.

Mafia II was a really fun game, but there is very little to do besides the main plot. If you like crime movies at all, then you'll definitely enjoy the narrative here.

It's a bit strange, though, that I've played through the first Mafia at least half a dozen times, but never had the urge to play Mafia II for a second time.

I am a XCOM fan and Bureau is nothing like XCOM. It`s a Cover based-Shooter with Greys, basically, Mass Effect-style
Though your team mates are far less useful than in your usual game of this type, without much sense for selfpreservation. So you MUST spent as much time in tactical view, commanding your mates as you have time playing yourself ingame. In higher difficulty levels your mates become a bit more aware of their surroundings.
It's not a bad game par se but you see where the potential to be great was missed.
I actually liked it for it's quirkyness but that may be my sense of humor. :)

just wanted to say thanks for this tread im finding it more and more useful and thus wanted to share my thanks to all the contributions :D
