    Yeah... turns out I was thinking of a different game. Yes, Blur itself is pretty good. I'm a terrible person and apparently can't read.

    EDIT: Anyone know if Cities XL is worth a crack?

    I looked at Railworks 3 for a friend then died at the price of the DLC "£1165.13 ADD ALL DLC TO CART"

    I am tempted by Cities XL 2012 - I just know it's not going to be as good as Sim City though...

    Saints Row 3 with DLC/season pass for £14.99 on the THQ store.

    Don't forget to take the THQ's extended download service out of the cart, it's a Steamworks game anyway.

    Um, just to give away, PM me a steam account and I will send it. (Can it be someone who is active on the forums not just someone who created an account to get a free game, thank you. :))

    Stop lying! You bought several copies of the Robin DLC to spring on your unsuspecting friends at most inappropriate times! :p

    Just a reminder that Saints Row The Third is 50% off on the THQ store until the end of December 24th, great deal at £15.

    http://store.thq.com/store/thq/en_GB/pd/Saints-Row-The-Third/productID.233244200

    About £5 cheaper than Steam.
    You also get the Professor Genki's Pre-Order Pack and DLC season pass on the THQ site as well.

    Oh, just a quick bit of advice: If you buy from THQ's store, you'll want to back up your download as they have a pretty lame download system and ask for more money if you want them to backup your download on their systems for an extra two years. :\
    Never mind, been told you can add the key to Steam to download... stupid THQ trying to be sneaky and force people to use their system...

    Edit:
    As for the talk of Cities XL.
    It's quite buggy and has a couple of issues with lag at times but all in all it's a decent game (well I say game... it's a city simulator in a partly broken sandbox environment). Somewhat similar to Sim City though shinier and more realistic and pretty much goes above and beyond what Sim City could do in a lot of areas (namely building complex cities)... however it really is a giant sandbox as the gameplay side of it is a bit of a let down. You'll constantly find yourself investing countless hours into building a city only to eventually discover you could have done something else to make life easier, then you'll scrap your initial plans and start all over to have it happen all over again.
    If you've played the earlier Cities XL 2011 then you'll find that you are playing pretty much the exact same game with very minor tweaks, with the single benefit that there have been a heap of performance improvements since that terrible release.

    On a side note, the game can get insanely difficult when you start trying to manage a large city or multiple towns.

    How can they get away with this? It's a Steamworks game - it's available for download for as long as there is Steam surely? I bought the code and downloaded it on Steam - if I deleted it, I could download it again tomorrow.

    The THQ store give you a Steam key, just ignore their useless download thing, like I mentioned above:

    Cheers for the THQ Saints Row link. Stupidly bought the game through Steam yesterday but just bought it from THQ for the DLC since it still works out cheaper to pay £15 for the DLC. Going to give the extra copy of Saints Row to a friend (It's Christmas!)
