I wouldn't buy it for $20. Just get ME2.

Well that can't be good. After literally years of being ok with it, Sega has had words with Bombergames about the remake. It's weird that it'd be this project to get Sega's attention, rather than the dozens of Sonic fan-games, especially considering how long it's been around and how little Sega seems to care about the Streets of Rage name. No details yet on what's going on, so maybe it'll be back?

It's a little too late for them to do anything about it. It's completed and released.

Permanent price drop on Oddbox and its components, now $15 for the whole dealie. Also been patched of most their problems now to where they're solid (if vanilla) ports, run smoothly and all that.

Seems like everyday some indie games on my list update. Always the same ones too (Amnesia, Toki Tori..etc).

edit: ok..has to do with Portal 2/"potato" stuff. Looks like Portal 2 is pre-loading now. I pre-ordered the PS3 version at Amazon so I'll just have to wait until the 19th for the steam code.

GGX2#R is at GOG for $6.

Debating about getting the PS3 of Portal instead of just the Steam version. It's $10 more but would let me split-screen co-op with friends. The Steam code ships in the PS3 packaging, right?

Portal 2 PS3 is actually cheaper than Steam if you get it at Amazon since it comes with a $20 rebate on your next Amazon purchase.

And yeah, you get a PC version with the PS3 release but no one's exactly sure how it's going to work.

Exactly. They've been running a pretty incredible ARG, as ARGs go. Details are here: http://valvearg.com/wiki/Valve_PotatoFoolsDay_ARG_Wiki

Today's update apparently added a bunch of extra content to each game in the pack.

edit: Portal assets are all over the games now. GLADOS in Bit Trip Beat, companion cube in Audiosurf, etc. So rad.

Yeah, that's what was really pushing me. I think I'm going to go for that.
