    Any good co-op games people want to recommend?

    Edit: Overall i bought: Bioshock; Beyond good and evil; Psychonauts.

    I've heard nothing but good things about Team fortress 2, its only €10 i bought that myself


  • Moderators Posts: 5,558 ✭✭✭Azza


    I picked up a few deals.

    Beyond Good and Evil
    Psychonauts
    Oddworld Pack

    And for the excellent price of €2.57
    Trials 2: Second Edition
    Game is awesome :D

    Picked up Bioshock (already have it on Xbox but, for a fiver, will be interesting to compare). Also bought Trials 2 and Beyond Good and Evil.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    I've no idea if left 4 dead is on sale or not but it is like digital crack. If you like online co-op you'll be glued to it.

    How much is Psychonauts (no access from work)? Been meaning to get this for a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    I thought Psychonauts was free due to some kind of abandonware type deelio?
    Well worth getting anyway, think it was pretty much the price of a pint


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭Fracture


    Im amazed as to how a thread on the cs forums have made it so far with a single troll. Anyway...
    I might get Bioshock too, for a fiver its bound to be worth it.
    I must check out the price of Left 4 Dead, i think it still might be cheaper to buy it in the shops up north.

    Some great deals at the moment. For example, Portal for only 3.50.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭quad_red


    Just got a new computer, set steam up and everything's back to what I presume is the normal price :(

    It seems the sale just ended recently, as in the last hour or so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭quad_red


    Not meant to be :(


    Good thing I've got all the bloatware to remove. Which is like a game. Sort of. Maybe.

    Do you mean steam?
    It's not too bad if you disable the service (or go interface > settings and choose not to have it start with windows)

    Oh no, steam's no problem Tman. It's all the crap it came preinstalled with - Norton etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Ah right... Nothing worse than the garbage that comes preinstalled on new pcs. I didn't even bother booting up my new laptop at first, just stuck the windows cd in straight away and did a clean install:P

    Can't even do that anymore cos there was no fuppin restore or windows cds with it - you have to set it all up first and then burn your own!
