You download them the first time you try to play them Floffe Send a noteboard - 01/07/2010 11:31:02 AM
I installed Steam when they offered the free Portal game a few weeks back, but since life, work and my xbox kept me somewhat busy I neither played yet nor looked deeper into it.
Do I get the games actually on my laptop or just play "through Steam" when I purchase them?
Can I even buy them from here, Germany?

And there's an offline mode to play in as well. Plus you can log in to your account from other computers and play games from there. And yeah, it works in the EU as well.

Why isn't Fallout 3 on sale? Kronin al'Sulc - 28/06/2010 07:10:01 PM 785 Views
Give it time. After initial purchases, I'm watching the daily deals for ones too good to pass up. *NM* Zalis - 29/06/2010 02:22:18 PM 342 Views
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- GTA IV for $5 *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 29/06/2010 06:26:04 PM 355 Views
Better than the $7 it was back at xmas. Still a port, but at least it's cheap. *NM* Zalis - 29/06/2010 07:31:26 PM 332 Views
Dammit. Nate - 29/06/2010 07:32:33 PM 771 Views

Just added Shatter, Cryostasis and Flatout:Ultimate Carnage to my list of sweet deal purchases. Zalis - 30/06/2010 08:23:40 PM 855 Views
Warband for $15 is worth it, IMO, if you really enjoy multiplayer. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/06/2010 09:50:38 PM 334 Views
Is Warband "just" multi-player? Or a better version of M&B + Multi? *NM* Zalis - 30/06/2010 10:16:04 PM 337 Views
A marginally better M&B with Multi. If you aren't going to do multiplayer, don't get it. Ghavrel - 01/07/2010 02:06:08 AM 721 Views
So how does this work? ironclad - 01/07/2010 08:41:10 AM 741 Views

Do save files transfer from comp to comp as well? Kronin al'Sulc - 01/07/2010 04:41:34 PM 681 Views
If the game supports the Steam Cloud feature, yes. Zalis - 01/07/2010 05:33:21 PM 803 Views
Some, yes, most, no. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 02/07/2010 02:08:10 AM 759 Views

Gah, why did I buy this? Kronin al'Sulc - 02/07/2010 06:03:36 AM 755 Views
Loved Thief 2, but would probably never get around to playing this. Zalis - 02/07/2010 03:20:53 PM 711 Views

Borderlands for $10 today, July 2nd. I'd buy it if I didn't already own it... DLC is cheap, too. *NM* Zalis - 02/07/2010 06:56:39 PM 330 Views
