carnival73: It used to be that way with physical copy purchases but with digital download, I put in all of my NZ details along with name and expiration as it is on my card and just changed the state to TN (Tennessee) along with a zip code from TN.

Bloodygoodgames: That's why I wondered, as I know I've tried in the past with some physical purchases and it wouldn't let me if the credit card zip didn't match the Amazon zip.

Thanks! (Not that I'll probably buy anything from Amazon any time soon, simply because it gets too confusing having copies of games at so many different sellers' websites :) They do have good prices though although they're not a European company so, again, I avoid right now as we Europeans have to help the bloody awful European economy, IMO :)
Look for the games on Amazon that require a third party client to download - That third party client they refer to is Steam.

A lot of the games on Amazon have activation keys for Steam - Like last week I got Sonic IV Episode 2 for $7.50 and Shadow Harvest for $4 and used the activation key Amazon provided with the game in my Steam client and it added those two games to my Steam library.

Good thing I waited on buying. Got Mount and Blade Collection for only 8 bucks!

Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Island-Xbox-360/dp/B004PAGJOC

Click on the version "PC Download"

Now search for "Additional Information", you see how it says "Requires Steam account for game activation and online play." It won't always look exactly like that (sometimes it's in that grid box) but it'll be on the page. You can text search the page or comments for "steam" and "origin" if you like. See how ones like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Divinity-II-Dragon-Knight-Download/dp/B0049U4DXM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1342393587&sr=1-1&keywords=dragon+knight+saga


They have a "Steam DRM" version and a "DRM Free" version. The former will give you a key. More and more they're putting the DRM type up near the top info as well.

The review comments are often helpful, but sometimes they apply to more than one version of the game.

Newer EA games can be Origin instead.

Often times it accepts it, but it's so overloaded it still shows like you haven't voted. In my experience if you've voted once or twice you can just page refresh in a couple of hours and your vote will show up.

Hitman 2 is good, 3 is like a remake of one, Blood money is pretty good.

3, which is Contracts, is not available for purchase anywhere due to a licensing problem. I would get Blood Money if you're new to the series, it's the best all around.

I second that.

I'm considering the Monkey Island bundle on the flash sales. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

They're some of the best point and click adventures around and hold up today, which I can't say about may others. Still, they're not going to get anyone into the genre who wasn't already, and the first one was done on the cheap.

Probably worth it.

I'm hoping for Tales and Secret of Monkey Island Special Editoins for 75% off

*crosses fingers*
Yes! My wish came true.

Typical Gothic sale... I have them all except Arcania's expansion. Is that worth $4?
