fuck yes! pulling trigger on GRID when i get home

ChinoPD · 30th April 2010, 12:39 PM

GRID is an awesome game. Like an 'in-between' type. Not simulation and not too arcadey. For that price, it's worth every cent!

mhm. it has enough realistic-enough mechanics, with arcadey-enough handling and physics forgivingness.

Its just a shame that Dirt was sooooooo much better than its sequel.. i bought Dirt from eb games a month or so ago for $20.. i bought it again for $2.50 so i could have it on my steam list..

Also, if you're running Windows 7 and Toca 3.. you need to download and install Direct X 9 runtime, as it'll probably through up an error with some DLL missing.

Nice guide.

I'll add that GamersGate does have 3rd party DRM on a few titles. I remember having an issue with Starforce DRM on Battlegrounds Pacific I bought from them. At a guess, I'd say the new Ubisoft titles also have that "always-on internet" DRM still on them as well.

But GamersGate is still my preferred store. Unfortunately, they are slowly becoming more like Steam with region lockouts, and regional pricing.

AFAIK Good Old Games is the only retailer who specifically insists on no DRM on their games. Hence they have a limited range, as some publishers refuse to remove the DRM.
