    Thats a pretty hefty sterling tax actually! Disgraceful...

    Chime is indeed awesome, got that achievement earlier. Having read the review I don't think its worth the 3rd one to buy Poker Night...and Ruse is still too dear for impulse buying.

    For some reason in my game list Chime won't display the proper full icon, its just the little box with a C in it, anyone know how to fix that? It had such a pretty icon for the first few weeks :grr:

    It's also ripe for a dose of dlc, a couple of extra songs would go a long way...

    ok I bought this on the basis that 1. you guys all think its a great deal. 2. I like to support smaller devs, and 3. (most importantly) it had Markus Schulz on the soundtrack.

    I literally have no idea what is is actually about

    Mafia II £19.99 on Steam. Worth it? I loved the first, one of my all time favourite games, but I've read a lot of "meh" about the sequel...

    It's on Amazon for 18 and free shipping.

    It's still €50 in the EU store >: (

    Bought Chime as well seeing as it's just a £1... well worth it! Looking forward to unlocking some of the other achievements :)

    I was expecting Mafia I made in an age of gaming where GTA IV exists. From what I've seen its not even close in terms of scale and freedom. They could do so much more.

    Had a crack at Chime last night. Very entertaining and *very* good music (but then I love electronica in general and trance in particular). I'm pretty sure I won't be able to unlock that "Treasure Hunt" achievement in time though... :(

    I got the Chime achievement last night, took about 3 tries on that level.

    If anyone is struggling getting the Heavies Iron Curtain in Poker Night for the Steam Treasure Hunt, the advice seems to be to keep restarting the match until Heavy offers it, then keep plugging away until you get it. Another is when he looks like he might have a good hand, go all in and hope he takes the bait. Apparently it happens quicker this way.

    4 hours 20 mins remaining until next deals ...

    for the poker night thing:

    i just kept going all in on every round so that I could quickly do new games (normally only took 1 or 2 rounds) until the heavy offered it up (he does so straight away), then played seriously.
    On normal difficulty it is pretty easy to beat him.
    (also, good god does that game recycle dialogue)

    The chime score is pretty easy to beat, got about 2mil on my first try. Also a really great game for £1 (not to mention some goes to charity)
