@Terra:
This is the page you need

According to the game spcs this is what you need: OpenGL 2.0 and shader model 3 with 128 MB of memory; ATI Radeon X1300 or nVidia GeForce 6000 series
If your card is not opengl 2.0 I'm afraid you won't be able to play it in your laptop.

@Terra Your graphics card is an integrated chip on a laptop, correct? BIT.TRIP BEAT may not work. It requires a fairly powerful and recent graphics card - usually ones included in desktops. I hope it works for you, but that error may continue even after you update your graphics card's drivers.

@rusty Are you giving NyxQuest away for free?

Well tell me some equivalently priced games ($2?) and I might consider trading. I'm not so sure about NyxQuest though. The WiiWare demo didn't impress me.

You can always trust Can You Run It? well, most of the time anyway.
BTW, I sent you the game, the problem was on Steam's end. Surprisingly, they acknowledged it and replied fast.

ahh the joys of own a laptop i also use my laptop for games its trial and error with games most specs normally state that games arnt tested on laptops, so may not work but i find most work with some problems but they work.

Yeah, there's no special page on Steam right now. It's gone back to the normal storefront. I guess it takes a bit for them to put up the new deals and artwork.

What the heck? It's still kinda screwed up. The special page is up, but the sales say -0%

I see the Orange Box is $7.50. GET IT NOW. That's a FANTASTIC DEAL.

Xkhaoz

Absolutely, every single game in that box is fantastic

LOL they're up, but a lot of the games are -0% discount! WHOO!

Yeah it's just time they needed to put the changes in place.

Games on sale:

  • Mount & Blade: Warband
  • Splinter Cell: Conviction
  • The Ball
  • Street Fighter IV
  • World of Goo
  • Patrician IV
  • The Orange Box
  • BIT.TRIP BEAT

Looks like BEAT fans are getting what they wanted. It's 50% off, $4.99... which was the price of the Indie Pulse Pack yesterday. FYI you can still buy the Pulse Pack for the offer price here: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6788/ This pack will disappear by tomorrow so I'd suggest snapping it up instead of BEAT on its own.

@y2josh Rule number 1 of Steam: Don't buy anything unless it's discounted. Ah well.

And Portal is awesome. I got The Orange Box back at release and Portal was my favourite of the lot.

How about World Of Goo or a couple of Defense Grid packs? If you like platformers then it's an obvious choice, if not, well, I understand why you didn't like it.
