I got a little excited when I saw this "Doctor Who: The Adventure Games", until I saw it was point and click. http://store.steampowered.com/app/268830/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEVF_TfKsrc There's a Dr. Who mod for Fallout New Vegas, if anyone is interested. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/50132/?

Is there any hope for a 3D Vision fix for Dark Souls 2 (DirectX 11 version) in the future? It already has a good price in Europe, 19.99€ at50% discount. When it gets even lower, I won't stop myself :p.

[quote=""]Is there any hope for a 3D Vision fix for Dark Souls 2 (DirectX 11 version) in the future[/quote] I hope so, but I'm not optimistic. However apparently the graphical updates are quite minimal for the most part, with the biggest change being a reworking of enemy placement.

I don't agree about Bioshock Infinite DLC being perfect in 3D. It's definitely playable, but it has plenty of little flaws and glitches. From memory, it's things like distant shadows cutting off, some lighting not working properly in underwater areas, etc. At least that's how it was for me. Definitely playable, but maybe lower your expectations a little bit.

Ys games from Falcom works well with 3D Vision. I've rated and noted the anomaly with Ys Origin at GameGrade3D: http://www.mtbs3d.com/gg3d/index.php?show=more&key=pos_id&val=2509 Ys: Oath in Felghana and Ys: Ark of Napishtim also works well. Though I've only played the boxed retail version, the steam version should work the same.

The GTA V pricing shenanigans during the sales were reported all over the gaming sites, and people have started giving many "thumbs down" reviews on steam mentioning it. You would think that this bad press and general shady-ness would make rights-holders think twice. Na-hah, they're at it again. Today it's the turn of "Shadow of Mordor", whose standard version is not discounted, only the GOTY and only for 50% off. Last winter I was underwhelmed by the Steam sales, because price-wise I noticed a tendency to no longer discount games as in past years. Almost all games are listed with a base price computed in such a way so as to make it around 4.99 euro once discounted at 75%. Now, we add to that these shady practices. It's incomprehensible to me, especially when it comes from companies such as Rockstar and WB, their games are already awesome, why the "fuck you , clients" attitude? Could it be that these practices are suggested/imposed by Steam, to maximise their revenues? Anyway, I'm just saying, it's not like I will start boycotting them any time soon. I'm not going back to physical copies (to paraphrase Seinfeld, "The earth called, it's running out of space"), and it's not Origin or GOG that will offer healthy competition. But I guess that this is as good a time as any to explore other markets offering Steam keys. I was too lazy to do it so far, but Steam is really pushing it lately.

The fact that they're even selling GTA$ kind of rubs me the wrong way, it takes absolutely nothing to make and it's consumable ... I originally thought it was just part of the pre-order bonus but SharkCards? Lol. Then they're basically repackaging the pre-order deal as a bundle and calling it 25% off. Ugh ... The sad part is people are not only dumb enough to fall for it as a deal but they're also keeping it in the Top Sellers list ...

Recommend Life is Strange. This game is so amazing, especially in 3D.

I'm definitely looking forward to playing Life is Strange, and glad DarkStarSword is fixing it. But I tend to wait for episodic games to be complete before buying. Plus, it's not on sale.

Brilliant Bob is $0.99, it's on the Unity Engine. Tried quite a few go to profiles, none worked very well. Add it to Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle for the best results, the first little bit I tried looks close to perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX65HVWghSc
