Video games to not buy any time soon
I've just spent far too long scouring D2D's games catalogue for games which will possibly be in their £5 sale over the next few weeks. Essentially, games in the categories listed here which are currently more than £5.
My advice: If you are thinking about getting any of these games any time soon, wait to see if they are in the D2D sale, as you will be able to get them for a fiver. I thought I'd do my bit to prevent you buying a game now when it is possibly going to be much cheaper in the near future.

Direct2Drive £5 game sale: Week 2
The next round of games are up on D2D, and it's another pretty good selection.
Sadly, USA folks get Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, we don't. We do get Serious Sam Gold and Manhunt though....
Special tip for this week: Saints Row 2 serials can be registered on Steam if you want to avoid using D2D. Also - If you recruit a sympathetic yank, you can just get them to buy it for £3, and give you the serial for Steam, saving you £2, and bypassing 'the man'.
Cheeky lil' GAME scam v2
Update: It appears that it is not the order you add items to your basket that matters, but the item number, IE "339837" for Modern Warfare 2, that matters. The item with the smaller number will receive the £5 off. If MW2 is no good, just look around the site for an item expensive enough that has a bigger number than whatever you are after.
GAME.co.uk have got another £5 off off £50 voucher, this time it is "lastminute09".
Like last time, this can be exploited for nefariousness means.
First, go to GAME.co.uk and pick something that you want to buy, then add it to your basket. It is important you add the item you want first.
Then add a game preorder that pushes the total to above £50 (Modern Warfare 2 will work).
Then go you your basket, and apply the coupon "lastminute09", and you should get £5 off the first item in your basket.
Complete the order.
Then go to your order history, and remove the preorder. You should then have the original item with £5 off, without having to spend a £50 total.
Some suggestions of to good items to get discounted, and the price you'll end up paying:

Sins of a Solar Empire, PC - Free
Update2: Seems that Impulse are deactivating any serials gotten through this, I guess we are all out of luck. Explanation here. Shalom
Update: Looks like they have ran out of serials for Sins of a Solar Empire now. Speedball 2 is still available. Everyone who got it, I hope you enjoy your game, everyone who missed out, commiserations. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any similar offers in the future.
It appears that CD-Action are giving away free downloads of Sins of a Solar Empire. They are giving out serial numbers which you then put into Impulse.
Head here, click "założyć TUTAJ". Tick the box then hit "Rejestruj". Then enter a username in "użytkownika", password (twice) in "Hasło" and and email in "Adres Email". If you prefer to not get any spam, use a disposable email address.
They will then send you an email for you to activate your forum account. Click on the link in the email, then log in and got to this link. They will send you a serial number for the game, which you enter into Impulse. You need to download Impulse, and enter the serial number into the client. You will need to register for an Impulse account if you do not have one already.
The serial should be in this format:
XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
In Impulse, go to the top left menu icon, then select "Register a product", then hit "Add Registration", and paste the serial number in, and the game will be added to your account.
I can confirm this works, and have done it myself.
Update: Seems like Speedball 2 is available too. That's for Steam.

Back from Leeds Festival
I'm back from Leeds festival, and had a generally awesome time. Sadly I lost my wallet, but this was offset by managing to befriend a barman who ended up giving me free drinks. Radiohead were exactly as good as I had hoped, and weather wasn't too bad at all.
I also bumped into this guy:
Which was pretty cool.

BG&E2 "On hold", let's take action!
If the word of some dude from Gamersyde on twitter is to be believed, it seems Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been put "on hold".
We, the gamers, should take action, lets coordinate a response to Ubisoft to let them know that we will not accept them cancelling what is a massively anticipated title by gamers around the globe. Let's hit Ubisoft where it hurts!
I propose that we boycott the "Imagine" series on the DS, Wii and PC.
The imagine series had already sold over 1 million by February of this year, no doubt thousands more since then. If we all take a stand and vow to never buy any more Imagine games, Ubisoft will be bound to notice the fall in sales, and maybe consider restarting production on BG&E2.
If you are with me, if you want to play BG&E2, and you vow to boycott the imagine series until Ubisoft have officially stated that work has started on BG&E2 again, then please, comment here in support.
I'll be linking Ubisoft to this post.

Shadow Complex for free
Update: The Video has now been taken off Youtube, because of "a copyright claim by Epic Games, Inc.". That's to be expected I suppose. I've added a little more detail to the instructions so that it is still clear without the video.
Original Article:
This is kind of naughty, and I feel a little bad for the developers, but here it is.
Play through the demo as normal, and just after you acquire the grenades, there is a boss fight with the big spider robot.
Beat the boss as normal, and as soon as it's health bar is down to zero, and it starts exploding, keep hammering the start button. It won't let you pause immediately, but when it does, select "load last save".
This glitch allows you to play the full game of Shadow Complex just from the Demo. It essentially skips the point where the demo ends, and lets you carry on for the rest of the game. I've tested it myself, and can confirm it works.
I assume you'll need to play the whole game in one setting, since I don't think you'll be able to resume you game from the demo, but it's not too long a game anyway.
I think it's probably for the best if you treat it like an extended demo. If you play beyond the demo, and enjoy it, then buy it. You'll probably want to replay it anyway.
