    Its only 10$ after coupon so its worth a shot, but I don't want to buy it if its going to slow down my computer. Does it have that DRM stuff?

    I played it on a 9600m gs, it runs very well.

    I'm not sure what you are afraid of with 'DRM stuff'...

    where did you see it for $10? Steam?

    Yep, that was the catch with this one. They're testing the waters, to see if the market's there or not. If it has good sales, I think they're going to have online servers next year.

    compatible with 360 controller. Also, I downloaded the demo already. I didn't know if it was any different than the finished product. O well, its only 10$

    ya 360 version is the best by far. But PC is a nice travelling companion for 10$. Its better than NBA live 09 for PSP haha
