Hey Tony, do you happen to know when you'll be getting Civ 5: Brave New World up for preorder? I think the one that's up right now is a physical copy, which is like 110% unnecessary. And for some reason my Bioshock Infinite credit doesn't apply.

Hey Tony, is there a reason Amazon has the physical version of the D&D Classic Anthology/Master Collection/whatever other names it has, but not the digital version every other site seems to have? Or the Neverwinter Complete Pack for that matter?

Bulletstorm and The Saboteur are worth it for the 10 bucks. Really origin is fine and isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I havnt had any issues with it.

Origin really isn't that bad. As a platform for storing and running downloaded games, it's actually much better than Steam. It's just worse at everything else.

Let me just back this up with my one-hour trip report on the PC version of Mercenaries 2:

- Hey, it's a sequel to Mercenaries, one of my favorite games ever! I remember being pretty excited for this game to come out back in the day, then really disappointed when I realized they meant for people to buy the game for the Xbox 360 or PS3, neither of which I owned. The PS2 port was a pile of crap, and I didn't own a gaming PC at the time. Well, I do now, so let's see how it goes!

- 1920x1080 resolution is not an option. Hmm. Well, a quick Google search reveals that patch 1.1 fixed this issue, as well as a few others. (This was the only patch released for the PC version)

- There isn't any AA. There's an AA option in the menu, but it does nothing. Ok.

- The graphics are early PS2-quality. Everything is 'chunky' looking, there's crazy pop-in, and many of the character models look like PS1-era models. Ugh.

- There are several game-crippling bugs. Oh look, I just fell through the world again.

- The game overall is less fun than the original. Enemies spawn constantly, getting around isn't very fun, the voice acting is terrible, the factions aren't as interesting... Yeah, I give up.

Don't play Mercenaries 2 for PC. The other three games in that bundle are all worth checking out, though.

I just bought this, and here's a quick word of warning about the difference between two bundles:

Bundle 1 - $9.99

Max Payne 3
L.A. Noire Complete

Bundle 2 - $11.99 (The one I bought)

Max Payne 3
GTA IV
L.A. Noire Standard

In my mind, the deal was 'Bundle 1 is $10, and if you throw in an extra $2 we'll include GTA IV.' This is not the case.
