    It's one I was watching, and by all accounts it's supposed to be a good game, but not sure if I'll take the risk for €15.

    I dunno if I'll risk it either,I've only got 31 now left on my 3v card,have to make it last till sunday,just brought left for dead 2.

    Transformers and Singularity are pretty alright games in my opinion. Bought them from D2D a few months ago. Dont regret purchasing them, but if pushed I would recommend Singularity above Transformers. If you've got €15 to spare and are looking for a shooter, singularity is a good good game, but certainly not the best shooter out here. Not too much replay value in Singularity. Although there is some replay value (albeit not that much) in Transformers.
    If deciding which one to go with I'd go with Singularity, deffo. It's worth €15 more so that Transformers (in my opinion), but if you're not willing to take a risk for that much money, I'd say leave it alone.

    almost thought about getting Sniper but the reviews were evil.

    Dead Space seemed a good buy. I remember I hated trying to get it to work on the PC because of controller lag, but **** it I'll give it another shot.

    That lag is caused by the V-sync. Turn off the V-sync and the game runs great on PC. Mouse/controller lag is gone, but the screen tearing appears instead. Not the worst trade off, but not ideal.

    I've done really well from the Steam Sale, having picked up the following:

    Bioshock 2
    Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
    Crysis Pack
    Defense Grid
    DIRT 2
    Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
    Just Cause 2
    Left for Dead 2
    Men of War Pack
    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    Wings of Prey
    Witcher

    A nice tally of games that cost next to nothing. To think I had Steam installed for years and mostly ignored it... silly me.

    GTAIV Complete for under 9 euro. And because I already own the base game I can't get it... I wanted the expansions only :(

    It says that I already own GTA:IV Complete Edition in Steam, despite already/only owning GTA:IV only. Never bought the addon packs/DLC.
    Hmmm...

    Says the same for me, fairly sure i dont have the exp packs.

    Was gonna buyt it and gift the game to someone seems you cant.

    I read on reddit that if you buy the game as a gift, but just enter your own email or whatever it will work (real forever alone moment though!)

    You wont have a spare copy of GTA4 afaik, definitly wont be giftable

    Was going to get GTA, but then i remembered how horribly optimised it is, and how badly it ran on my machine the last time i tried it. Has it improved much?

    Also bought Oblivion.

    i already have stalker :chernobyl but it crashed about 15 minutes in and I never went back to it. I'm something of a recent convert to rpgs, loved oblivion and me1/dragon age/fo3 ..do you reckon I'd like stalker enough to warrant purchasing pripyat now so I can playit later?

    The STALKER bundle is very tempting, plus Red Alert 3 could be good for some hammy acting fun.

    Is Team Fortress 2 worth getting? To be honest I'd never heard of it :eek: so don't know that much about it. Do folk still play online? I'd be playing random matches rather than with mates so is it worth it from that aspect?

    I felt it had a very poor community on the 360, hard to find matches, but on the PC it has a bigger community. Great game though lots of brainless fun :P
