Free downloads freeing or enslaving the games addict ?

The summer of Steam downloads continues , and it seems Gabe and the gang at Valve have taken a little notice that Apple and Steve , when not handing out post antennagate iphonedoms  and trashing rivals , rule when it comes to  hooking users to their platform with free downloads , so from Steam  we have Alien Swarm free for every one .

This is the second pretty awesome free download in the last couple of months if you count Moon Base Alpha , each one of these brings a wave of new Steam users to the platform.


What Steam and Valve have in their court is a potential user base that is 10s of millions larger than Apples iTunes , and they cater for significantly more powerful hardware .


Would you rather pay  $5 for a full blown pc game , or $5 for an app , well the answer is you don`t have to . These days its likely you will get both a game from Steam and iTunes for free or , or for less .
Now this is synergy , and market forces at play , the free games and apps bring more users to iTunes and Steam , both encourage people to download legally , millions sign on and the costs to consumers decreases .


Initially


For now that is all of these free downloads are hooks , years from now we will be paying Steam and iTunes to store our beloved games and music collections on their clouds . So enjoy the free stuff ride whilst its here , in the long run we will be paying them back for cloud  server storage maintenance and backup .


but wait there is another hope...................but I haven't finished the script for that one yet ..

Quakecon , what do you mean Quake con? Carmack who?

In today's xbox live themed game market many a young gamesfan will be scratching their heads as to who this Carmack bloke is , for today it is not iDs awesome ,for their time ,fps engines that drive the games we play , buy mostly , mostly the Unreal Engine that you will find powering your major games releases , from Gears Of War to Batman Arkham Asylum to practically every bad and good cross platform release over the last decade, the dominant force has been an Unreal Engine , and the boys and girls at Epic ,not our heroes at iD


Epic focused on consoles and crossed platforms with each new version of their engine . They have the power , whereas the legends at iD Carmack and co , are not going to spring to the mind of the average xboxlett slave boi/girl. 


 This is a shame , as without iD , there would be no modern Western games scene , and we would all be happily lost in the latest cute Nihon platform dating rpg survival horror arcade racing beatemup. Imagine your life without Doom , Quake II,   Duke Nukem , Half Life , Counter Strike [errh and there it stops] , there's a great big hole you would have to go back in time and prod Romero to give up on Daikatna and Carmack into creating the genre  , or the horror of bright coloured platform dating rpgs would end our civilization. 


So people bow your head to one of the greatest games creators and developers of our time , and forgive iD for Doom 3 already , it would help if iD stopped optimizing code for gimped phone os mini games , and got back to pushing back the boundaries of the latest technology .. As iD moves ever closer to developing the 60 fps electron microscopic first person shooter iDespair. At least they are making games for the little people! iD used to be about pushing boundaries , it needs to get back there or pretty soon Epic will be running the Unreal Engine all over them on the slates , and phones they have made their pet project. I mean what sounds more impressive ...1. oooh lookie the sprites moving at 60 fps on a 4 inch screen or 2. 3d photo realistic gameplay across 3 30 inch lcds running 7800 by 1600 res ,at over 100 fps . And you know if iD aren't going there then the next iteration and the present iteration of the Epic Unreal Engine already is . 


If as I fear  you are indifferent to Quakeconn , iD and their legacy ,checkout Steam and grab some of gaming history/evolution . They have EVERY id game [well not every] + some Bethesda tidbits[ Oblivion , Fallout] going for a song , 27 games for £49.99 , not much to pay for a playable lesson in gaming history.


You know just like you spend 1000s running the latest phone to play a $1 game , we used to spend 1000s building pcs just to play the next iD classic , so £49.99 is a bargain for their entire [almost] back catalogue. Plus the Behesda titles  which are some of the best games ever created don`t hurt the package much ....


 check the Quake Con Steam  Sale  here   you have till the 15th to  swot up on Carmack and iD

Left 4 Dead Console owners Sacfrice their dollars whilst PC and Mac Owners download free dlc and their free online comics

Left 4 Dead is now ridiculously cheap on Steam 


Left 4 Dead is the online zombie multiplayer survival horror game that our Japanese cousins would have killed to make..The online components of the otherwise fine Res Evil and Dead Rising series are at best a parody of the insane levels of chaos you can achieve in Left 4 Dead . And one of the great reasons for this is the great respect  that it`s developers Valve show their fans , hands up if you criticized the sequel and got flown to see Gabe? You see they love pc gamers , and also now mac gamers .That is why the games are a bargain on Steam right now , and even if you did pay full price all that time ago , you know the latest DLC the Sacrifice is FREE , and you can read all 4 parts of the THE SACRIFICE comic whilst you wait ... However console owners thank your draconian Xbox Live model for the charges and thank you for the sacrifice  of paying for our pc games development....

Steam Sale madness follows Treasure Hunt madness

If there is one thing I would like to say about the Steam Treasure hunt it is this Why so Serious? Did that feel like homework or what ? Right now on Steam  I can see the bargains , from Super Meat Boy for £3.50 to games up to 90% off. Battlefield Bad Company , F1 2010 and most interestingly the Oddworld the Odd Box , all for insane prices , so if you are trapped in transit , demand wifi get on Steam and cheer yourself up with some awesome games . And play those stuck in transit blues away...

 I barely made it through the treasure hunt, so totally not laid back an event in the usual Gabe and Valve style , with 4 minutes left on the clock , one had one task out of 10 remaining ,so today I found myself  desperately trying to get a Crass Menagerie on L4D2 , trying to hunt a Clown  and learning why they use the term uncommon enemy to describe these fiends. Some how with seconds remaining I pulled it off, well actually  I Segal`ed it by blowing up everything in sight , a desperate act which landed me a clown  , see Smart Bomb , now that be an olde gamer technique !. But sooth , the Steam sales started , now I do not know if this is the big one , but there are already too many bargains so head on over to Steam and start pulling out your hair and or wallets .....ARRRRRRRRGHHH!

 reach for Steam nowwwwwww......

Steam Holiday Sale day 2 Lara Croft GOL 66% and Polynomial for 75% off

Everything that has been on sale will be on sale again ... so say we all .....

ok so yesterday was a screaming session of where is my wallet , darn I have it right in front of me , ohh no Lemming style screaming  I am going to spend too much on Steam sales Lego Batman ,F12010 , FEAR , and Super Meat Boy and the ODDBOX  purchases, but thank Gabe today is a quiet one for me .

For today I only shed tears for Lara Croft GOL is 66% off if you own one of her previous adventures , although I already own a Lady Croft game on Steam I bought GOL last sale , the loss is not substantial but , its the principal that counts ! I tells ya. Baaahh Humbug.....

Other standouts are Polynomial for 75% off , The Witcher Enhanced editon for 75% off, and the Burnout  Paradise ultimate box , for yes you guessed it 75% off . If these games are in Packs , avoid the single purchases 

Please Gabe I want some more :

PC gamers really deserve more content , we have the finest delivery service in terms of Steam , the finest and most open hardware , yet the choice we have is decidedly limited , if you have been purchasing games all year you will have touched on most of the upcoming bargains , and bought many of the packs, for the Steam community to grow it needs more pc gaming content , other wise Gabes magical revolutionary Valve engine will eventually literally run out of Steam....

and as I said at the beginning 

Everything that has been on sale will be on sale again ... biddi ..biddi ..biddi .....

So thank you Gabe , I can save my wallet for tomorrow , after I am done with Polynomial ....and I may even play some Lego Batman ....
