I see GTAV is up for preorder - £40 on Steam UK, or £22 for a key via Nuuvem; is there any region-locking to worry about here?

I read an article about them releasing an Elite Dangerous API so you can plug stuff into the game stats; someone replied in the discussion thread (regarding 10s of datapoints for every hyperspace jump and docking) 'But all this is just making it easier to do what successful pilots are already doing in their spreadsheets'

can you link the article? last i remember from frontier was explicitly asking people not to break up the game to extract data, which ended up with people manually mapping stars into spreadsheet to make a tool for pathfinding that does not have severe limitations

Now it been out awhile and the shine has worn off / the bugs have (hopefully) been patched, is Watch_Doges worth playing at 50% off? I like a decent 3rd person action open world game.

Also, buy Red Faction Guerilla while its cheap - that is a good 3rd person action open world game with excellent building destruction physics.

I think it was the fact that your character is meant to be a soft everyman who steps up because he has no choice but then becomes a kick-rear end gun-shooter who kills the bad guys - gets all the way to the end of the game and he pussies out and shoots himself for an epic freaking fail. STORIES ARENT MEANT TO END LIKE THIS!?

While I get that success for most games for kids are based more on the license, is there a Lego game on steam that comes recommended higher than the others? Asking for a friend. There's the LoTR games, Harry Potter, marvel, batman, etc. Fun for a little kid and a dad-gamer who would like to play something with his kid.

the Lego Movie game is a good one, it's got a bit of everything. if you and the kid haven't seen the movie, do so (it's a lot of fun) then play the game.
