XCom Fans!

OH NOES! =O

THE STARFORCE VIRUS!!!

Okay but seriously, I refuse to support it for that reason. Your game has to be Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory or Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones quality to get me to buy it with that copy protection. No remakes will qualify. I'll go for the older graphics.

You can download the full version.. I picked them all up off kazaa resurrection. Fairly small.. I haven't seen the game anywhere to pick it up so might as well download it eh?

I tried out the demo for aftermath and it seemed clumsy. I think the aliens were too strong against your initial weapons too.. so it adds some difficultly. I mean, they're using bullets again. What happened to all the crap I learned in the last games! haha

It's the next step from Kazaa++ Lite.. p2p sharing.. it's the resurrection..

I don't download that much stuff.. and I always had a problem trying to find places to download from and stuff. Never really got into it though.
I probably should check it out though.
What are the good sites to go to? piratebay.com or something like that if I remember.

Bah, nothing compares to DC++ in that realm.

Support the industry though!

Buy the good games, especially the ones that don't sell well but are higher quality.

Yeah, I support any game I like. If I do happen to download a game, it's because I wouldn't have bought it anyway, but I'm curious if it actually is any good.

In the rare occasion that one of those games actually is good, I go out and buy it.

That's right, PIRACY INCREASED THEIR SALES.

Now I can't speak for everyone, and I know I'm probably a minority, but in my experience, the vast majority would never buy anything they pirate anyway, and some people actually buy it because they get a free "demo" of it.

Though personally I try as hard as I can to leech off friends and just borrow games.

I'll let you know how it is, should be arriving in a day or two.

I own aftermath, the prequel to aftershock. It's average at best

I am hoping the addition of more developed base building, some cool upgrade options and more varied enemies will lift this next installment above average, at least.

Actualy, that would be because the local poblishers here realised that the best way to combat piracy was to sell jewel-case legal copies at a little over (~30%) the pirate disk price point. About $10 for new blockbuster games.

The problem kind of went away by itself after that: no one in their right mind buys the pirate versions of legaly available games. (Although availability is a big problem)
