This THQ bundle is pretty neat: [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3F5S0O[/url] They all activate on Steam too.
[url]http://www.amazon.com/Activision-Prototype-Pack-Download/dp/B00A418B7Y/[/url] Ten bucks for both games? Holy fuck let me go get my money.
Amazon lately has been kicking Steam's Ass. I got both Prototypes today. That THQ deal is fucking amazing too, but I own most of the games on there worth playing.

Avoid Prototype 2 like the plague, awful port.

[QUOTE=Pridit;38481168]Avoid Prototype 2 like the plague, awful port.[/QUOTE] For $10 for both, I don't think it's going to hurt much.

[QUOTE=Pridit;38481168]Avoid Prototype 2 like the plague, awful port.[/QUOTE] I'm literally having no problems with Prototype 2. It runs fine for me, I have had no issues with it slowing down, or missions having glitches where it doesn't run, and I feel the controls work well on keyboard and mouse.

I've played through the game 4 times now and I absolutely love it, no problems atall.

Not sure why we've had a completely different experience, what are your system specs?

I just bought Prototype 2, and the framerate is indeed terrible. The controls and menus are perfectly fine and responsive, though.
Awhile back I got both prototypes for $7.50 from amazon. Totally worth it. Games aren't perfect but they're hella fun
[QUOTE=Protocol7;38483573]Awhile back I got both prototypes for $7.50 from amazon. Totally worth it. Games aren't perfect but they're hella fun[/QUOTE] Prototype 1 is okay, but it has horrible missions. Prototype 2 is really awesome.
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;38483594]Prototype 1 is okay, but it has horrible missions. Prototype 2 is really awesome.[/QUOTE] Yeah the second is much more solid. Some of the missions in Prototype 1 were damn hard but aside from Heller's horrible VA the second is a solid improvement.
Just tried prototype 2. It runs just fine, although there is slight lag when there is a massive clusterfuck on the screen (as in bigger than usual for this game) and sometimes when I am really high up. Running native resolution, effects and anti ailiasing set to low though.
I turned every video setting except for the resolution down to low or off, and it's still really bad. Guess I'll just have to wait until I have a better video card. Unless someone knows a way to fix this, which I kind of doubt.
Prototype 2 has [I]massive[/I] memory leak problems.
:( Wish I could get them in the UK
[QUOTE=Protocol7;38483613]Yeah the second is much more solid. Some of the missions in Prototype 1 were damn hard but aside from Heller's horrible VA the second is a solid improvement.[/QUOTE] I thought Prototype 2 was far too easy, even on the harder difficulties. Gone are the stupidly hard boss fights and tactical changes from Prototype 1, in PT2 you can pretty much plow through the game without having to change weapons as most weapons are capable of killing anything (as soon as I unlocked the blade I didn't change weapons until the final boss). I preferred PT2's gameplay and controls but would have rather had PT1's difficulty. Also the lack of defensive modes annoys me.
Homefront Shadows of Chernobyl Metro 2033 Warhammer Space Marine Red Faction Guerrilla Red Faction Armageddon $9.99 HMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm, even though I already have SoC, this sounds sweeeeet. Aside from Homefront
Being from the UK, can I still buy from Amazon US? I'm wanting to do that for Assassin's Creed 3 so it's on my Steam account. It's either save £8.50 and get a Steam code from Amazon US, or pay £8.50 extra for the Join or Die edition (with Washington's Notebook and Medallion) but the physical copy isn't a Steam code, uses uplay. I know it's not part of the deals here, but I see Amazon US are selling some things so just wanted to clarify. I've bought Football Manager 2012 from them last January with no problem, but things might have changed since?

Go to [url]http://www.realusaaddress.com/[/url] and generate a US address, add it to your profile on Amazon then use that as your billing address. 2. Order as normal. I just did this from the UK and it worked fine. Apparently they only care if your address is set to a US one.
I'm thinking about getting both packs later today. These deals are just way too good to pass up.
