Stormrise (was 19,99€ now 4,99€)
King Arthur (was 39,99€ now 19,99€)
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor (was 34,99€ now 17,49€ )
Silent Hill Homecoming (was 34,99€ now 8,75€)
Jade Empire™: Special Edition (was 14,99€ now 3,75€)
Mr. Robot (was 9,99€ now 1,99€)

Out of those, I think that Jade Empire is the must-buy (already have it, played it recently and think it's better than even KOTOR).

P.

I saw it at this price too but it is now 8.74.

Just got COH: Tales of Valour, been wanting it for sometime now.

It's very short and doesn't really add much to the game. The new mulitplayer modes are a joke with the possible exception of PanzerKrieg.

Yeah, I heard mixed reviews on it. Thats why I really was not willing to spend €10 or more for it.

Check out supported OS and processor for Mr Robot. Amused me

Gonna check out the demo, but at 2 euro it's probably worth the gamble

Reminds me of those old isometric games Head Over Heels and Knight Lore.

Had to laugh when I saw the Tales of Valor expansion pack on sale for €17.49.

Company Of Heroes: Anthology is €9.49 on play.com and includes, along with the main game, the Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansions. [Link] :rolleyes:

I got jade empire and the orange box.

Hoping they sell Crysis in the sale at a cheap price, as lots of people will buy it, so that they can play Living Legends :cool:

Indeed! It's one of the few games that hasn't been discounted. I thought it might be a bad sign for EA games but we've had Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, etc for sale over the last few days.

Just got killing floor for 9 euro.
Never played it before, its kind of addictive in a diablo sort of way.

I already posted this in the game bargainst thread,but Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast is on Steam for £1.24 (around 2euro).

It's the complete Outrun 2 package with the outrun 2 and SP track,brilliant game,although the multiplayer seems to be not working.

I had a feeling that silent hill would be one of the daily deals. Trying to predict what else will be up. Clive Barker's Jericho could be a runner (not sure it's worth 9.99) or maybe the heroes V pack. I don't think there have been any sports games yet so there may be a few of them still to go up.

It's not that bad tbh. The gameplay is interesting, and adds a few twists to the usual run'n'gun fps gameplay. But the setting gets rather stale after a while (plenty of browns, reds and blacks all the time) It also has possible the worst game ending in history (well maybe Pacman beats it :pac:)

Edit: Also, on Steam, you can buy the Max Payne bundle for €3.74 (includes: Max Payne, Max Payne 2) which is cheaper than buying both separately.

You'll never see that €1.24 again, bwahahaha!

No no, I just bought the bundle and forever threw my willpower to the wind.

Fnz

Ah, I see. Give in to the low-low prices.:D

Just booted up Osmos - seems to be exactly the game I had hoped it to be.

I actually emailed Gabe Newell before xmas complaining that the Steam Sale was awful as I would spend far too much money on games for me instead of presents for my loved ones.

He replied saying:
"The loved ones were just holding you back."

Evil bastard.

Steam has changed todays lineup slightly:


- Max Payne 2

- Left 4 Dead

- FIFA Manager 10

- Max Payne

- Osmos

- Sid Meier's Civilization® IV

- Call of Duty: World at War


The Civ. IV expansions are gone and WaW has been added.

Sephiroth_dude

Is left for dead worth getting?Do people still play it online?

5uspect

I haven't really played it since I got L4D2 but I want to get back into it as there's some terrific campaigns in it. Modders have also ported the old maps into L4D2. AFAIK you need L4D to run the mod due to copyright.

There's a new L4D2 DLC coming out that brings the old Survivors into the new game in a as yet unknown way. I wonder if this could somwhow link both games.

Bought max Payne double pack, at the time it was my fave game

Also for some un known reason i bought osmos, without knowing ANYTHING about it :P

Kinetic^

Steam servers are getting hammered! Saying that, it'll be a while before I get around to playing most of these games that I'm trying to install anyway

I bought iD pack, just had to. So many of those classics I've never ever played.

witnessmenow

These steam sales are unbelievable at making you buy stuff you didnt even remotely consider buying, my not installed list is longer than my installed, and its mostly from these sales!

ooPabsoo

hmm l4d is looking very tempting!

5uspect

I never really play RPGs, Mass Effect and Fallout 3 on the Xbox being some recent exceptions in RPG lite. But with the sale I've bought Torchlight and the Witcher and I'm quite enjoying them. My WoW afflicted mate will be rubbing his gold mining worn hand in glee...

We'll have to have an aftersale thread group therapy session where we all sit around and confess how much we've spent and on what.

I said to myself I wouldn't buy anything that was over a tenner.

So far I've spent approximately €37. And I've gotten about 7/8 games. Its beautiful.

Trouble is I'm having to download them in work and bring them home via pen drive/external and copy them across.

Oo I came into the thread specifically to ask whether that'd work... Good to know it does.

I've spent more than I intended, but tbh not really minding since on a Time : Money ratio, it's well spent. Plus it's mostly been older stuff and indy stuff, so for my fifty or so euros I've got... 20ish games?!

The complete pack with all 4 expansions vs Plays 2 is 13.60 on Steam. Not bad, considering.

I've avoided steam for years. Is it ok now? No problems?

Well they still steal your soul, kill kittens and block efforts to feed the hungry but at the prices they're selling stuff I really don't care.

All seriousness aside, other than them never putting enough bandwidth into high-demand downloads, I haven't had a problem with Steam in a loooong while.

Oh, and just spotted Beyond Good and Evil for 2.49. If anyone hasn't played it, they really should. grab it. I never understood why it wasn't more popular.
