    Can someone clarify something. I just bought the Walking Dead. That's all 5 eps right? I haven't just bought ep1 or anything? It doesn't reeeeally clarify it too well in the description.

    Yeah, it's the entire series (5 episodes).

    Does Assassins Creed 2 use Uplay, even in Steam? I already have it, but would happily pay €3.74 to not have to use Uplay.

    AFAIK it just uses Uplay as a launcher but the always on drm part is now gone.

    If anyone intends to play the Walking Dead in one big chunk make sure to have the Samaratans phone number close to hand. Those month long breaks between episodes were essential just to recover.

    The DoW2 games are good imo, I reckon I've got about 300 hours between the 3.

    Yeah I'm probably going to start with them. Have been craving a decent RTS binge recently so I picked them up.

    Question: Should I start with DoW2 and only fire up the others once I've completed it?

    They both play a bit differently, so it doesn't really matter. I fired up DoW1 first to get the hang of things, but then jumped to DoW2 anyway.

    Main game I've been watching in the sale.Planning on getting it at some stage but would like to see if it'll drop to 50% in the flash sales,if it doesn't will pick it up on the last day. Have heard great things about it and now its gone to a non subscription base hopefully the numbers of people playing it will rise.Apparently very different from the normal MMO's ,requiring more puzzle solving than button mashing.

    Got Mark of the Ninja for 50% off, seems great, though I really hope it has controller support because I don't like the K+M controls.

    It works perfectly with a 360 controller anyway

    If you have a PS3 pad and a USB wire you can download Motionjoy and play any game with a pad. Works perfect with no lag at all. I wanted to get Mark of the Ninja also but it seems they took it down from the flash sales before its time was up :mad:

    How are the Assassin Creed games on PC? Are they shabby ports or do they run decently?

    My plan too. I've been keeping enough money on the debit card in hopes it goes to 50% off.

    Cheeky gits, did they just bump up the price of Sleeping Dogs for a flash sale? Could of sworn I saw it earlier for 14.99, now 16.99.

    Is it worth a buy at that price? Was thinking of getting it.

    Just back from the shops [kids using up vouchers] and its mad to see the amount of people paying huge money for games that i see on steam and other sales for as little as €2.50,no not just console gamers with no real choice but plenty of pc games being bought too.

    Stop lying, it's 37.49 and currently up for vote for 50% off. Although I recon it's likely more people could be interested in F1 2012.

    Yep saw Borderlands 2 PC for 40+ in Gamestop or HMV earlier. Console gamers allways seem to get rinsed.

    And to the console gaming is better than PC gaming lot-stick that in your pipe & smoke it:p
