Pretty good today. I think I'll only go with Operation Flashpoint, though - I've spent enough! :pac:

If you want an interesting story, you can't go too far wrong with Alpha Protocol for €7.50. Just don't expect it to be a tour de force as an actual game - it's not Obsidian's strong point, they've proven.

looks like it was always 14.99

Don't think it was. I'd have grabbed it at 7.50

Sephiroth_dude

hmmm could have sworn it was cheaper last night,same with bloodbowl,must be my eyes playing tricks on me so.

Skerries

it was definitely 14.99 at 6pm yesterday

Canis Lupus

ZOMG Portal, map 19. I'm soooo close to cheating. I thought the end of 18 was bad.... Cannot see how to progress *bangs head on keyboard*

Gonzovision

Bought Darksiders and the Paradox Interactive pack. That's 60gb to download :eek:

Coriolanus

Wonder if cc services work Xmas day... I need a topup.

EGriff

Got jedi knight 2 and jedi academy for €8. My first steam purchases. Hopefully they'll work ok on windows 7.

Coriolanus

New day.

Torchlight for 3.99, if anyone doesn't already have it, it's a gem.

Turtwig

Right so, uh, currently I've downloaded.

Burnout Paradise - Fupping Brilliant.
Super Meatboy - You really need a 360 controller for this, fupping brilliant either way.
Tomb Raider Guardian of Light - Not Yet Played.
Trials 2 SE - Hard as nails, but fun nonetheless.
Men Of War - Not Yet Played.

This is my first year as a steam customer, I love the service, but I can't help but notice how every time a bargain sales period comes around I end up paying more for games than I normally do but I love my collection of top notch games.:o
Burnout is amazing, keyboard controls and laptop cramped keyboard controls work just fine.:D

Yeah, I've noticed that too! Then again I've bought some great games that I'd otherwise have overlooked, so I guess it's fair.

Was hoping for much better than 25 for bordrlands GotY edition. Pretty sure it's cheaper boxed online.

Definitely is. Amazon have it for £9UK or thereabouts. Granted you'll have to pay postage too...

Coriolanus

Yeah, was going to pick it up when it went on sale. Won't be at that price though.

Saints Row 2 for €2.50, what a bargain.

Saw it for 20 in gamestop today

Dave_The_Sheep

Anyone know if King Arthur is worth playing? €4.94, tempting. 78 on Metacritic... Hmmmm.

Was gonna ask is it worth getting, but then for €2.50 theirs no point

Coriolanus

Whatre the Ghost Recon like?

Overlord, 2 at least, looks like it's worth grabbing too. Any opinions?

Skerries

The original Ghost Recon and add-ons were brilliant, but i found GRAW to be totally different in feel and not as good so i don't know whether to take the plunge and buy GRAW 2?

I'll have to disagree with you there! So far I have World 1,2, and Dark 1 all A+ed on keyboard only! But then I'm used to playing SF3: 3rd Strike on keyboard and that's slightly more execution heavy!

I would very much like someone's opinion on Overlord too.

The Original GRs are classics, hard as nails,tense and excellent fun. The reimagining, GRAW,, while dumbing the series down still won tonnes of GOTY awards. It scored a 9.9 with gametrailers - Basically what I'm saying is buy it. I just got the complete pack for €8.94.:D
Now fingers crossed for the complete rainbow six. (Obviously I won't be playing lockdown.)

And god dammit valve I bought the battlefield 2 complete pack for 17 quid just a few months back off EA. Damn you!!!:mad:.

Arma II is an excellent deal, get up to date with version 1.08 and get online, the game is a terrific military simulator. Once you play with good spirited coop players there's no going back.

Lol. I'm playing it on a laptop keyboard and it still works fine, but I still think my point is valid a 360 controller is much more comfortable.:p

super_furry

How severe is the jump from playing something like COD to ARMA II? Used to play the original Rainbow Six a lot, is it like that?

TheChrisD

Dammit, New Vegas for half off is really tempting, but I'd still rather get it on 360...

Coriolanus

Must look at arma then.
