I was thinking that. Dragon Age 2 is widely regarded as a disappointment, but I don't think it would be so bad as to not be worth $5.

You would be correct :)

It's definitely not a bad game, I'd say 8/10. Just has some very irritating features.

Apparently Kingodms of Amalur is 50% off on GamersGate, at least in UK, but looks like the game isn't available in my region.

Next week on Amazon:

Deals Starting 3/25-3/31:
Mass Effect: $5.99
Mass Effect 2: $5.99
Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe: $8.99
Mass Effect 1 + 2 Digital Deluxe: $11.99

Are these steam redeemable?
Region restriced?

No EA game can be activated on Steam.
You can buy from Amazon but you have to use a valid USA address.

For some reason, I can't get this to work.
I'm guessing I also need to VPN it.....

As said, not Steam redeemable, but should be possible to activate them on Origin (you may need to enter a live chat with support though).


no need to use a VPN, a US address will do.

Keep in mind that those Mass Effect deals will start on the 25th

I have tried this previously.
It still quotes me prices is GBP & argues the address I give, despite me KNOWING it is a valid address.

You're on Amazon US and not Amazon UK, right?
You should be presented with US$, strange. I've bought a few games from Amazon US digital and never had a problem. Check that your US address is set as 'default' or something similar.

Sam & Max Complete Pack for $39.95, Season 3 uses SecuROM though.

EDIT: Get it from Telltale directly instead, same price but the developers get all the money. Thanks etna87!

German video game magazine GameStar XL, issue 05/2012 costs 5.50€ and includes a Steam key for Race '07, Race ON and STCC: The Game on it (also a key for HOMM V gold from another website named mcgame.com that can be entered until 5 May [not sure if it has DRM])

Well, just before the Steam Tomb Raider series 75% off deal ends, can anyone tell me if any of these titles on Steam have any 3rd party DRM?

Tomb Raider: Legend
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

I'm pretty sure that Guardian of Light is Steamworks anyway, but the other 3 I believe were SecuROM on retail disc, so has this been removed on Steam?


EDIT: Having searched around I can find no references stating that the Steam versions have SecuROM, but I have found a few forums saying that they don't, including a post by flibitijibibo of the Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam.

All of that for 5 euros? Not too bad (HoMM V in particular) especially since you also get the magazine (if you can read German). :)

Hum. That's 50€ in Europe, and it's always $40 on the Telltale site: http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax
This deal does not look that special to me ;)
I picked it up for $12.50 when they had their anniversary sale...

Thanks, edited my post to reflect the info given.
