Resident Evil 6 can now be pre-purchased on Steam http://ning.it/WnIUdf More ppl that do it, different rewards will be unlocked

Comment by LordX on February 13, 2013 at 6:08pm
The rewards include digital soundtrack & artbook for the first lv, copy of RE5 for the second, and the DLC season pass for the final level. Something nice from Capcom for a change.

With the Aliens pre-purchase debacle, I don't think people will be liking this all too much.
Comment by LordX on February 13, 2013 at 6:20pm
what occurred with the aliens one? o.0 I didn't hear anything about it to be honest
Comment by LordX on February 13, 2013 at 6:21pm
I mean, steam did this with XCOM: EU (if I remember correctly) and it seemed to go over quite well
Comment by Zaknaberrnon on February 13, 2013 at 6:35pm
steam is also doing this with the new Tomb Raider game.
Comment by LordX on February 13, 2013 at 6:38pm
Hadn't noticed that Zaknaberrnon, thanks for pointing it out! I think these are great bonuses for anybody that was planning on buying the games on steam.
Comment by Zaknaberrnon on February 13, 2013 at 6:51pm
yeah, and you actually get guardian of light for free when you preorder on steam which i think is a great deal. it's the only tomb raider game that i haven't played and i have heard nothing but praise about it, and it is said to have a truely stellar co-op as well. Thing is i already have a physical copy of tomb raider preordered, so i won't be preordering it on steam, but i intend to pick up guardian of light as soon as it goes on sale.

Yeah, I've got the PS3 copy pre-ordered myself. As far as Guardian of Light goes, it is a great game (got it free from PS+ a while back) and I highly recommend it =)

Oh, I meant the whole "pre-buy the game and it turns out to be pretty shitty."  TB did a video about it yesterday about pre-ordering games and he brought up some really interesting points.  He even mentioned the Tomb Raider pre-orders.

In general, this idea is fantastic and props to Steam for providing. Got a bunch of stuff from XCOM's preorders, like Civ V and DLC. Had I not saved a bunch by going with GMG, I would have preordered Tomb Raider for all the bonuses, too.

The next generation

Hello wielders of the axe,

Many, many people have opinions on the next generation of consoles, gaming and what appears to be a new breed of multimedia devices. As a consumer and with an avid interest in technology I hope I have a unique look at what has been presented as the future of what we all love,…

Today I 'ave been mostly rememberin': Great Gaming Gaffs

Hello fellow Axeheads! As the great AVGN would say; "What a shitload of fuck!" I am, of course, referring to the Xbox One. Everyone has been frothing at the mouth and having seizures over the calamitous reveal.

Now... It's not really my place to jump on the wagon of despair. After all, I don't own an Xbox 360 and…

Dear Microsoft

Hi Microsoft its me, the little guy who's been buying your consoles for the last ten years. Just wanted to let you now how excited I was by your new console reveal. Sure I would have liked to see more games (maybe even one being played) but I get why you didn't go that route. The reveal was a focus on the system itself right and you wanted to keep it relevant to actual specs and functionality, like when you announced a Halo TV show. Things like that were why people tuned in and I'm sure its…
