Beyond Good & Evil is a great game. The memory of it lasts, too. If you haven't played it and you like action-adventure/platforming games with character, it's definitely worth buying.



HoMM V was sort of disappointing to me. They went too far with the 3D and lost the charm. III will always be my favorite at this rate.

BG&E needs an internet petition to get them to make a sequel.



The worst thing that ever happened to that game is a failure to market it. Most people don't know about it and haven't had the chance to play it. -.-



Console versions as well if you prefer console! Go play it!

Pacific Fighters is one helluva fine WWII flight sim as well.



Cold Fear is kinda wonky, control and save-wise, but interesting anyway.



Rainbow Six: Lockdown nostalgiacally playable, especially for those who can't run Vegas.

[PseudoKnight]

I'm pretty sure there was already a petition for a BG&E sequel. There is even a lot of desire to do so by the developers.

Can't get em in the UK... BS

[IC dead people]

yeah, looks like we can't get them in Europe...



DAMN AMERICANS!! lol

[Zom-B]

I'm sorry but, what? When did Steam start having country-exclusive titles?

[CannonGod]

What the hell. I was getting all excited for downloading BG&E and can't because I'm in the UK? This is stupid. When it launched, no bastard wanted it. Now no bastard can get it >



This is increasingly frustrating when you consider that Steam should be a unified platform for releasing games. Why oh why region locking?



*goes off to sulk*

[PseudoKnight]

This isn't Steam or VALVe's fault. It's up to the publisher and the respective countries.

[-:Nighthawk:-]

*Waves Stars & Stripes and goes off humming the Star Spangled Banner while digging around for wallet*



Hehe... yeah that pretty much sucks for everyone else though. :-\



It's a bit of a misconception to say Valve isn't responsible in part, though -- they charge companies extra money to allow the release of the game to other regions. This is just the response of companies looking at market trends and making a decision that the profit potential of the European market might not justify the extra money paid to Valve.
