Steam has every single episode of Sam and Max.

I checked earlier; not at a discount!

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

From what I can tell, it uses a similar mechanic to battlefield 2. This confused me though; I went to their website and it's free to try (with an account costing 9.99; a one time fee I assume). But on steam; it's 7.49 (marked down from 9.99). If you get it off steam, does that mean you get an account with that, or are they just selling you something you can get for free off their webpage?

The game is completely free now. That's the cost of a "premium" account, which gives you some very minor advantages. The game plays as an RTS for the leader of the group, while the others are pawns with free will ordered around by the leader, who play the game like an FPS.

What they're selling on Steam now is a premium account as well.

I was glancing over some of the deals that they have on Steam, and I figured that I have plenty of FPSs already; I am looking to buy Spore. Aside from it being a mild disappointment(according to some sources), how good would you guys say it is?

Well, I'd sa...

Don't fucking buy it.

Buy Savage 2 instead, it's indie, much cheaper; and actually fun.

Warez the creature creator instead. All the fun there is to be had in Spore, for no price at all!

It could be free and it would still be too expensive for what little fun you will get out of it. It has all the depth of a flash game. Buying another copy of an FPS you already own would be a better use of your money. It's that lame.

I felt like a dick giving 3 people Spore for free from a contest, that's how bad it is.
