    Its like PURE with dirt bikes and crazy stunts.

    It got 9.0
    Not bad!!
    Probably it lacked advertisements so people don't know about it.
    Gameplay and graphics looks fun!

    I love those kinds of games. Fun, fast, and furious. Nothing serious. Just hope it doesn't get frustratingly difficult to get past certain levels. That kills the fun. Shows it's available on Steam in about an hour. No word on pricing yet ($39.99 at amazon.com):

    nail'd on Steam

    Maybe it'll go on sale during the Steam Christmas sale. I'd pay $30 for it though.

    I played this at E3 this past summer, it's a lot of fun. VERY fast paced compared to typical ATV/bike games, and it's fun to knock opponents out.

    The tracks are pretty long, it takes a few minutes to complete them.

    Hmm, Steam doesn't even have a "buy now" option for it yet. Probably be $39.99 though like everywhere else. Definitely a buy for me eventually.

    Ooh! 10% off! $35.99. Not too bad. Might have to bite. But I blew way too much money these last few days. I have to do a damage assessment first, lol.

    Almost bought it, but then I saw the 3rd Party DRM: Tages, 3 machine activation limit. Pirates win again.

    Dammit. Why these horrible restrictions? When is Valve gonna grow some gonads and challenge these other publishers/devs to remove their stupid DRM's. It's just sand in the face of Valve IMHO.

    Lol - I was reading this thread, watched the trailer, and thought "This looks awesome I should buy this".

    Then I finished reading the thread. DRM failure. The end.

    Well if they don't sell as many as they thought they would they need better DRM since the discrepancy must be due to piracy.

    Note on TAGES™ DRM
    3 activations
    Every 30 days 1 activation gets automatically added by TAGES until the full 3 activations are reached again.


    5 revocations (for the 3 activations above)
    Every 30 days 1 revocation gets automatically added by TAGES until the full 5 revocations are reached again.

    As long as there's revocations and it doesn't ask you to be online all the time for single player .... fine by me

    Steam is already DRM; Steam + GFWL is the absolute limit of what I can take. I am completely unwilling to knowingly purchase games with additional DRM beyond Steam no matter how "reasonable" it may be. Honestly, between what the developer spent on this DRM and the amount they lose in lost sales due to DRM I bet it's much much more than (#pirated games x 0.05 x $40)
