The first ever "Impulse Buy" sale is going on in the Impulse Store! Several games are available and you will be able to download them immediately via the Impulse digital distribution system. Pick up games from the extremely popular Galactic Civilizations series, and the hit game, World of Goo.

It's a chance to pickup some great games and software at an incredible discount. Don't forget you can also purchase a gift for someone else, and they can download via Impulse, and do not have to wait for a package to arrive!

World of Goo is ok, but I got it for $15 for my Wii...

#3 Doli on 12 Dec 2008 - 17:21

Thats the regular price for World of Goo for PC ($19.99) haha.

It just occurred to me that most of these are much cheaper elsewhere. This is just a blatant advert, I recommend you don't buy.

I saw one in a Gamestation on my way home yesturday, I was looking through the oldies section, not sure if they were having a clear out or not but it was in a £2 box.

It's Space Rangers 2 + the Expansion for $4. That's as good as it gets. Same for some of the other games.

My opinion? Compared to Steam, Impulse absolutely sucks.

#6.1 Mascrin on 13 Dec 2008 - 03:56

LOL. Yea, you've probably done exhaustive comparisons of both.

Gotta love fanboys.

It's so obvious there's no need for an "exhaustive comparison". Unless of course you're "mentally challenged"...

Impulse offers more than just games unlike Steam. Now, do I need the 'more' stuff? I dont need any Stardock stuff and any non-stardock that Impulse offers I would buy somewhere else.

Well maybe you could enlighten me on how Steam is so obviously better.

I use both. Steam for CS and Left4Dead and Impulse for Sins of a Solar Empire and Object Desktop updates.

Impulse is lighter, faster, doesn't require to be running to use the software, loads much faster, uses less screen space, supports more types of software.

Steam has Xfire type features built in like better friends lists. I have Xfire so I have no need for those features.

I could see someone prefering one over the other but taking tiem out to say one "sucks" reeks of fanboyism. They're just software installers at their core. Woopie doo.

Hell World of Goo is only $10.00 at WalMart? It is in there bargain bin as is most of the rest of the Impulse sale items.
Even if these were good deals, witch they are not, it still should not be front page news.

Well you better run over to http://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/08/11/24...am-to-pre-order and complain about the announcement of the GTA IV being available on Steam.
