I want to buy a certain American computer game online. I want to get a downloadable version so I don't need to worry about shipping.

Unfortunately, this game is apparently country-restricted. The game websites I've tried won't let me buy the game and/or re-directs me to another website where I can buy the Korean version. I want to play this game in English, not Korean.

Any way around this? I've already tried Hotspot Shield to no avail. . .

Turned out, Amazon.com let me buy it with an American billing address.

I have a friend that got Space Marine by using a VPN since the Korean release was later. I dunno how it all works and I know that his lag was pretty bad but it worked. You may want to give that a shot in the future.

Amazon is usually pretty good about just needing an address or credit card from the US.

The few times I've wanted something that was region locked on Steam, I just bought a key from this website:

http://www.gamekeydistrict.com/

Then you just enter the key in Steam and download the game.
Occasionally certain keys will only work for non-Steam versions of the game in which case you can just download from a different source and then apply the key.

There are a lot of key sellers like this and I'm sure some of them are less than reputable, but I've had good luck with GameKeyDistrict so far.
