Steam Sale

Canis Lupus

Everyone probably has it but they're selling Batman for £15 down from £30 which is great seeing how new it is. Other less interesting games on it as well but it's for 1 day only and I think they're doing a series of 1 day things.

Just FYI.

SeantheMan

GRID - 5 euro
and
Plants vrs Zombies - 5 euro

Looking forward to see what else there's gonna be on sale

Coriolanus

I always hate these sales. They cost me a fortune.

SeantheMan

limit yourself to 10 euro per sale then.

So after the 5 days youll only have spent 50 quid...1 normal game...but have amassed maybe 4-6 good games

Im chuffed with my 2 purchases today.

Told my clan bout it too....got about 7 of em to buy GRID, so we can have a big race tomorrow

Those are the English prices, we're forced to buy from the rip-off European store, it's €25 there.

What's it retailing for normally regardless? You could still move to the UK :P

KOTOR going for £1.74 today. Totally bargainous if you've never played it. Not much else that takes my fancy mind.

Warning on deadspace: The PC port has THE WORST mouse control ever. I played the game for 10 mins and had to give up and a google of the problem was that they just ****ed it up and never fixed it.

I got the THQ deal, 18 games for €50.

Fúck, bought it yesterday and am just about to start playing it! There's some unreal bargains on the sale though, the first left for dead is there atm for €7.49 if anyone hasn't bought it yet, gonna keep an eye on it over the next few days.

The mouse controls arent that bad. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do its fine. Would be a shame to miss out on this gem because of the mouse controls. One of the lesser known gems of 2008.

I'd agree, played it for about 90 minutes there and it wasn't that bad but, having said that, they could have refined it a lot more. It certainly isn't unplayable that's for sure.

Looks like the Irish cant buy ghostbusters.
Everyone is getting a failure if its in their cart.

This problem should be sorted now, all users worldwide should be able to purchase the game from here on in.

Jumpy

Nope, still the same problem.

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

Jumpy

And now they have taken it out of the sale list. Well done steam.

Sierra Oscar

Indeed . . . seems to have been taken down again.:(

Seems to be down to licensing issues.

I got the THQ pack for 26 pounds (i think)

I used a wired 360 controller. Best way round the poor mouse controls.

Sorry but have to totally disagree. The game was imo completely unplayable. Considering you need to aim specifically at bodyparts to attack the enemy it was unforgivable to turn the best control system in the game world into something that swings wildly about like a drunken hobo where you point at the floor and the barest twitch had you swinging at the ceiling whilst being mauled by 5 enemies.

No amount of tweaking made it better and in fairness a google of a the problem suggests I'm far from alone in my opinion.


I saw that L4D was going cheap today. I'm so sososososos tempted to buy it but you know, the more of the demos I played in both 1 and 2 I don't think I'll enjoy it. I actually enjoyed Killing Fields way more.

superfly

bought Ghostbusters and am thinking of getting BF2

I think youre nuts. Buy one or the other. Both are great.

I bought Ghostbusters this morning. Steam has a problem with credit card addresses here, so just use Paypal as your payment method and there's no problems.

Got left 4 dead for £6.50. Bargain of the century. Cracking game too.

thebman

Bought L4D2 and THQ pack. Awesome, don't have the bandwidth to play it though

I got Company of Heroes which I wanted to get anyway. Great game, very happy with it. It makes C&C games look like Doom.

Try disabling vertical sync for your graphics card. Had the same issue with Fallout 3 and that helped.

It won't make it go away but it may help. Basically seems like the game is treating your mouse like an analog stick. I'm convinced Ms just have a cross compiler for Pc/360 and it remaps everything and lazy devs don't bother changing the control schemes or else they aren't allowed and maybe Ms want to push more controllers for Pc. Neither would surprise me.

Cheers, fairly sure I already have it turned off from a previous issue but will double check.

the cheapest way of getting games is just by buying the cd key, I got the new cod cd key for about about 27euro and you can activate and dl it via steam

As a warning, I did that once before and the games were revoked off me a month later.

LiGhTz OuT

yeah, it depends on where you buy the key really, i buy mine @ onlinekeystore.com and a few people got their cod keys revoked but they replaced it or refunded everyones

great site btw, its instant delivery

Liathroidi Dana

Woo loved these deals!

Got KOTR seen as I'v never played it and its meant to be brill!

Got World of Goo as well seen as I pirated it when it first came out, and I enjoeyed it so much. Thought I better support the creators.

And then just there I got QauntZ... wasn't all that impressed with the demo... but comeon 2 euro!!

cherryghost

bought ghostbusters yesterday for a tenner. gonna get mirrors edge, although i bought i it for a fiver on d2d already, the price justifies another purchase.
