I own neither an X-box, nor a PS3. How come they have those, but not PCs?

And to repeat my question from the previous giveaway, sorry if it was answered:

What happened to the games that were added in giveaway #102? I don't see them on the list. Specifically, I'd like to enter for FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage.

If that isn't available anymore, X-COM is my second choice.

I never buy newly released games, I can't afford it.

If that isn't available anymore for some reason, X-COM is my second choice.

I quite like it. It's useful and makes the post look better in my opinion. And since I usually check it before reading your question, I noticed its absence. But if it takes more than, say, 30 seconds of effort for you to include it, then don't bother, the link to the past winners will do.

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage for sure!

I don't really have a favorite actor. But if i had to choose, I'd say Andrew Robinson for pulling off Garak in DS9.

Seeing as I was one of the lucky winners in the last giveaway, I'm editing this to Half-Life 2. :)

I don't think anyone would mind if Origin was actually competing with Steam. But for that to happen, EA's games would have to be available on both platforms. Maybe sold at standard price on Origin and at a slightly higher price on Steam, with the difference going to Valve. That way EA doesn't lose anything from selling on Steam and people who dislike Origin can pay a little extra not to use it.

I used to keep a list of them, but gave up when i realized there's no point in playing a game after it stops being entertaining. Completing such games just to add them to a list would be a chore.

I would love to win Frozen Synapse.

I would also like to enter the coupon draw for Worms Reloaded.

If a game has poor KB+mouse controls, I just uninstall it and move on. I don't see any reason to learn how to operate a new peripheral just because a few game developers are lazy.

As a dude that is working on a project in his spare time that requires a 360 controller, I assure you this isn't a matter of laziness. I have spent nights agonizing over ways of adding KBM support, but there is simply no way to do it without radically altering the game.

The basic problem in my case, and in many other games with poor KBM support, is that I need to give the player instantaneous cartesian analog control over 2 things at once. This is absurdly easy with a controller (it has 2 sticks y'all) but virtually impossible with KBM.

It's kind of silly to expect that an interface designed for general computing will also be practical for all video games. That expectation places some pretty severe restrictions on design that would stop a great many games from ever getting out the door.

Interesting. But I don't recall ever encountering a game that requires such a thing. Can you give me an example?

That aside, the only reason I can think of to have a controller is driving. But only until we get keyboards that measure how far down we've pushed a key.
