    I have really enjoyed playing this demo through Steam. Once in a while they offer it for 7.50 US . Is this a good price? Also if my computer crashes (and lets say I have to replace the Hard Drive)and I have a backup of the Steam library (within an image file) and I restore the image will the steam games still work ? Thanks to all who reply. Josea

    If it's steam, then yes it'll work ._. Even if you don't have the image file, you can just redownload the game through steam. Heck, you can have the game across hundreds of computers and still play it as long as it's your account

    Yup. If you copy the game's folder from the steam folder (steamapps/common), too, you can keep your saved games. I played M2 on 3 different computers, also bought it for $7.50. Great game.

    Thanks a lot for the quick responses, I am coming from Monster Truck Madness and Pac man on a Pentium II Dell laptop. Can anyone recommend any other Games like Mafia II, other than GTA which does not run well on my machine?

    Just Cause 2 makes all of those games cry and prostate themselves in awe, screaming, we are not worthy!

    It's called Just Cause 2 because... just cause.

    Probably Batman Arkham Asylum a bit :p

    Not sure about Prototype. It can get a bit demanding with all the explosions and dusts flying about
