^Did you play through the new Tomb Raider? I bought it on sale but haven't touched it yet.

I'm playing through it now.  It's been quite enjoyable thus far although I think I preferred the earlier bits that were grounded in reality as opposed to where I'm at now when the supernatural stuff comes into play.  I enjoy the exploration aspects to it the most and the weapon and skill upgrade systems are interesting.  There are a lot of quick-time events which I'm normally not a fan of but they're mostly well done here.   The animations are very well done and whoever was in charge of animating the myriad death scenes of Lara is an extremely talented and creatively demented individual.

^Really can't beat that for an endorsement :)

Don't know if you've seen this (I think Brant posted it a few months ago) but it's pretty damned funny.

I love Conan...I have to watch this later when I'm on my gaming machine.

No, it doesn't seem to... i remember waiting for it to get down to around that price, and then got lucky and got it for 3.75....  I almost felt bad about that  ;-)

I though Matrix was consolidating their properties back under the roof. This being the explanation for why I can't download my Pride of Nations (and its expansions) which I bought on sale last year from Gamersgate onto my new rig.

You should be able to download something you already bought? Can we not? Does Matrix now provide an alternate download?

You definitely should have a download for it.  When a title is removed from Gamersgate, they replace it with another of the same name except that it has [OLD] tagged onto the end, in your Library.  The download still works for them, however, so you've not lost it unless there's been a screw-up and yours wasn't properly replaced with the revised one.

I have a few with the [OLD] tag, that are no longer sold in the store, but they download just fine since I had purchased them before.

^^ Not that I've been able to figure out so far. I certainly don't even have a listing for Pr0n in my games library anymore to download the game from (or any of the other couple of Matrix games I got that way). One of these days when I'm thinking about it I'm going to try moving my GG downloader for this game from my old computer to my new one -- I doubt (for security reasons) that will work, but until I try I won't know for sure.

There was a time when Pr0n had such a poor reputation that GG was selling it for $5 when NOT on sale! -- although that price was no doubt set by Paradox who had partnered with Matrix to distribute the game at that time.

Nefaro, my games list (which I'm looking at right this moment) definitely goes straight from Patrician IV (and its DLC) to Primal Carnage (which I somehow have 2 copies of and have never played). No Pr0n, much less its DLC. Not at Vainglory either. Scanned the whole list.
