LA Noire for $25. The bad news however is extra DRM. Clearly steam isn't complex enough. Must complicate things even more.

Well guys its the Xmas sale on steam. From now till 1 Jan daily objectives, daily deals and specials, ect ect.

I have lost my entire STEAM games library....

Windows went belly up, so I had to reinstall from scratch. I installed STEAM, logged into my account, and....my games library was empty. There is not even an option to download what I have already bought.

I guess I should have backed up my games.

I did contact STEAM Support about this on the 1st....still no repsonse though. I suppose they have a great many queries to work through.

Are you sure you dont have 2 steam accounts?

SP, I can still see all your games on your profile.

I think I might know whats wrong. On your games library select all games, not installed games. I assume your steam games are on a separate harddrive? Select the games you know you had installed and hit the install button. Should take 20-30seconds to verify that the game is installed then it will change into a play button.

Already looked. There is nothing listed under "all games"

@D33: Curiouser and curiouser.....

have you tried deleting clientregistry.blob?

Do you think that would help? It was a clean install.

i'd trash that and the custom category cache the .blob file is prone to corruption as is the category register..

my steam catalogue has never actually vanished, (between 5 distinct machines), but it has proven to display some silliness as a result of said corruption...

i'm leaning toward a flubbed install or dual account per StarBound's guess... deleting the .blob file will require you login again but will force steam to reload your catalogue.

Civilisation V is going for $7.49 on STEAM at the moment.....

I'm tempted to get Civ V - is it wirth it?

Civ 5 to me is classed under the same game type as Sims. It is a game you play and play and play until it crashes or you wonder why the rooster is crowing midday only to realise it is the morning after.

Civ 5 is good as a time waster game. But after completing a "small" map (took me 2 days, friday morning and went to sleep at 2am, then 8am till 7pm the saterday) I felt like I had been sucked into a trap and uninstalled the game.

For the $7.50 price tag it is well worth it. Even if you only defeat one map you will be filled a sense of completion.

The timeline moves fast at first but from the 1800s the turn time will decline fast and you will get turns that advances 1 year per turn.

So yeah, great fun, worth the price, very enjoyable, but when your done you wont want to go back simply because of the time it takes to do these things.

$7 is more than worth it for Civ 5
I just spent almost 5 times that much on DLC's for it a few weeks ago

Don't class it with Sims unless you want me to class you with Julius Malema

Now now jamin, lets keep it civalized...

The entire "X" series of space sim/management games is currently on special for $20

Got them all already...
TBH after playing EVE the X series is a bit boring

Have heard of EVE, but not tried it. I think it is the monthly subscription model that is putting me off. I prefer the Guild Wars way.

For the next 19 hours or so,Hydrophobia:Prophecy will be selling for $1.24

Alan Wake 50% off this midweek!

$15 for the normal edition and $17.50 for the collectors edition with art pdf and mp3 music files.

meh... console port!=worth it... maybe at $2 and even then it's a grudge purchase...

For a console port it looks very good though.

For the weekend, Skyrim! $40

That's a special? Really? How much does it usually go for?

I got it on dvd from takealot for cheaper than that
