Not for awhile. Something to do with some patch and Ubisoft. I've never been clear on what happened exactly. If you already own it, you can still download/launch it through steam, but it won't update without a bit of a hack.

Ubisoft refused to update the steam version, so steam refused to sell it.

Good to know.

I guess we won't be seeing Anno 2070 in steam then?

HoMM6 just came out and is on steam, so it could be. By now you should know how selectively bitchy Ubisoft is.

Ugh. I'm actually considering MW3 for the PC because I want to play a shooter on PC and Battlefield 3 is out of the question. They seem to be doing so much right this time around. Activision, although run by evil corporate monsters such a B.Kotick, play a smarter game than EA. They're definitely capitalizing on the Origin/BF3 Bullshit to get the PC market back.

But battlefield 3 on PC is great fun. :( Origin is seriously not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. And I've never really had this much fun in an online FPS game before.

Also, in MW3, you can't drive tanks or fly jets, so battlefield wins.

I've heard good and bad things from sources that have gotten early access. I don't have high hopes for it, but I've got it on preorder anyway. Let me know if you want to play.

Played that demo, and I believe I can say that Anno 2070 is the shit. It'll probably be buggy, and who knows what, if anything, they'll call it stateside, but it's still great.

For those who haven't heard yet, Mass Effect beta demo gets leaked and dataminers yank the plot/script for the game out of it and troll Bioware Social. It has old info, but the tiny bit I saw is eye-rolling.

Elaborate?

You can fuck a reaper this time.

This is apparently the entire Mass Effect 3 plot line in a Paste bin. I got a paragraph in and realized I actually want to play and enjoy the game so I closed it. Read at your own risk.
