LucasArts on Steam

July 6th, 2009 by Nat · 3 Comments · Asides

I actually screamed, �WHAT?!?� when I read this at my desk: LucasArts will be on Steam starting July 8. I was just lamenting not having a copy of my 5th greatest PC game of all time. It�s time to return to The Dig. (Funny LucasArts titles take four of my top five.) If priced right, I might get Republic Commando as well. No word on Tie Fighter or the other X-Wing games.

I’m very tempted by this. Give me a Monkey Island pack and I’m sold.

I just found a CD case with a pile of Lucasarts games in it, including the Dig. Now I wouldn’t mind having another copy of Grim Fandango as I have NO idea where mine has wandered off to. Most of the Star Wars games don’t interest me, as I either played them sufficiently or don’t want to play them, but I’d love some of the space-flight sims to come back out again.

Of this current batch, the only one I’m really interested in grabbing is LOOM, as I never did play through that thing in the past.

Dagnabbit. $10 for Loom and The Dig, guaranteed to work on my lappy and PC? No disc required?

Sold.

Steam is eventually coming to the Mac, right? These kinds of games would be perfect for when I’m on these long business trips.

Most be another one of those violent video games, right? An Italian man who argued with his son over Sony PlayStation tactics was recovering in hospital on Monday after the teenager stabbed him in the neck with a 15-inch kitchen knife, police and hospital officials said. What was he playing? Grand Theft Auto IV? Modern Warfare 2? God of War? The man, identified as Fabrizio R., suffered a deep cut to the throat after his 16-year-old son, Mario, attacked him during an argument on Sunday over the soccer video game FIFA 2009. Huh. So it wasn't a violent video game that led to this violent outburst. My world view = shattered. —Tony [Comment]

Rockstar saw fit to release GTA: Chinatown Wars for the iPod Touch and iPhone over the weekend. Price: $10. —Nat [Comment]

Another weekend is upon us. This weekend may not present many opportunities to game for me, but when they do I'll be engrossed in Dragon Age. So far I like what I've seen and am looking forward to seeing a whole lot more. If I only get a moment or two for gaming it will probably be some Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. I'd also like to get back to Borderlands, so that is always an option. What are you playing? —Tony [Comment]
