There is an unofficial patch for ATI cards done by some former member of the dev (he did it for free on his own).
I completed the game without problems on a Radeon 4870 (the processor is a Core Duo though not Quad) using that patch.
It's an amazing game (especially the art direction) and I highly recommend it!
Only because I brought it up in the first place: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazin...ily/arcana/945
The only notable new things are iPad support and choose-your-land-to-tap. And it likely won't be $6.

Yes, I know. It's Gamefly/D2D, so caveat emptor on the PC downloads.
Highlights:
Batman Arkham City - $15
Alan Wake - $20
CoD:MW2 - $10
CoD:MW3 - $40
Deus Ex: HR - $10
To be fair, I checked the gamefly client yesterday, and all of my games from D2D have now made it over to gamefly. It just took a while, but they got there.
I'm still missing games from my account on Gamefly.
Still, it has only been four months.
Anyone noticed Fallout is FREE for a limited time now? I grabbed it already. :P

According to Abandonia for 48 hours since 5-4-2012....
I just wanted to point out that in that Amazon sale, Elven Legacy Collection (Fantasy Wars) is only $3. That's a pretty darned awesome game for a pretty cheap price.
The Might and Magic RPGs are on sale at GOG. I remember playing the original on my Apple IIC and not making it very far because I kept dying in the first dungeon or whatever it was. Man those old school RPGs were hard. Never got far in Wizardry I or The Bards Tale I either. I think I'll give it another go and see if I can stand the graphics. I never was good at making maps (which is strange since I had a fascination with maps when I was a child) and I think mapping may be required in those old RPGs.
So LA Noire on Amazon is the standard version, without the dlc? For some reason I thought by time it came to PC, it had everything included already.
Might and Magic games were ALL about the mapping. The games came with a pad of special graph paper, for god's sake! There's no other way to find some of the random walls you can just walk through to find a secret passage. I find mapping fun, but if you don't, you might want to leave them be.
So holy crap, GamersGate has the 1C Complete Pack -- 86 games -- for about $21 at the moment:

That's just...wow...
Right?! If I didn't own most of the good ones already, I'd likely jump on this. TONS of good gaming in there.
Wow. Hmm. I'm contemplating the bundle to upgrade to Space Rangers 2 Reboot from the original release and to indulge my curiosity in the Star Wolves and Men of War series. Are there any particular gems among the dozens of unfamiliar titles there that would push it over the edge? I already have (and liked) the King's Bounty series and Fantasy Wars.
Off the top of my head (from a quick glance):
Cryostasis
Death to Spies Moment of Truth
Pathologic
UFO: Afterlight
Are good and worth playing.
I was about to chime in on UFO Afterlight as well. The other 2 UFOs are icing if you like Afterlight and don't mind some rougher prequels, but Afterlight stands alone quite nicely.
What about Farewell To Dragons in that 1C pack? any good?
Thanks, sounds like there's enough worthwhile sampling to go ahead and grab it then.
It appears you can gift individual games from the pack if you already own them, as well.
Any thoughts on Tomorrow War or the Pacific Storm games from the 1C pack?
The tomorrow war is decidedly "meh".
Man, I'm considering making a gamersgate account just for that 1C bundle, which is silly because I know I'll never play most of those.
I kind of want to pick up the bundle just as a tourist pack through Russian game development. With games like Stalin Subway, Snajper, and Vivisector: Beast Within, there has to be _something_ interesting in there.
