Main game I've been watching in the sale.Planning on getting it at some stage but would like to see if it'll drop to 50% in the flash sales,if it doesn't will pick it up on the last day. Have heard great things about it and now its gone to a non subscription base hopefully the numbers of people playing it will rise.Apparently very different from the normal MMO's ,requiring more puzzle solving than button mashing.

Got Mark of the Ninja for 50% off, seems great, though I really hope it has controller support because I don't like the K+M controls.

It works perfectly with a 360 controller anyway

If you have a PS3 pad and a USB wire you can download Motionjoy and play any game with a pad. Works perfect with no lag at all. I wanted to get Mark of the Ninja also but it seems they took it down from the flash sales before its time was up :mad:

How are the Assassin Creed games on PC? Are they shabby ports or do they run decently?

My plan too. I've been keeping enough money on the debit card in hopes it goes to 50% off.

Cheeky gits, did they just bump up the price of Sleeping Dogs for a flash sale? Could of sworn I saw it earlier for 14.99, now 16.99.

Is it worth a buy at that price? Was thinking of getting it.

Just back from the shops [kids using up vouchers] and its mad to see the amount of people paying huge money for games that i see on steam and other sales for as little as €2.50,no not just console gamers with no real choice but plenty of pc games being bought too.

Stop lying, it's 37.49 and currently up for vote for 50% off. Although I recon it's likely more people could be interested in F1 2012.

Yep saw Borderlands 2 PC for 40+ in Gamestop or HMV earlier. Console gamers allways seem to get rinsed.

And to the console gaming is better than PC gaming lot-stick that in your pipe & smoke it:p

Anyone know why every time I launch a new Steam game Microsoft Direct X has to be installed every single time?

Just finished a playthrough, I would say yes it's certainly worth that price. You'll get a good 25-30 hours out of it.

Sephiroth_dude

so far my haul is

FTL fast than light
towns
endless space
european war esc

Sephiroth_dude

also I only really want two more games and they are rpg maker and secret world and both are still to expensive for my liking,should have nabbed rpg maker the other day when it was 20 Something euro.

Big Knox

I've never played any of the lego games but LOTR has had me interested since it came out.

Can anyone recommend? Is it solely aimed at a younger crowd?

is the secret world very different from the likes of WOW and GW2? im actually thinking about buying it

Banjo

Is LA Noire any good? I'm a huge James Elroy fan and enjoy a GTA style game as much as the next man, but can't really see how a tense racially-charged potboiler might translate into a video game

If you're looking for Something to splash some cash on, FTL is a great little game full of tense battles, tough decisions and ignomious deaths

Haven't played it myself but it was €9.00 on Greenman a few days ago so if you search around you may be able to find it ~€10 cheaper than Steam.

A half assed mini review shall now follow:

It's very close to the movies, since it uses the voices from it. There's much less humour in it than previous Lego games, probably because it follows the subject matter so closely. I did the main plotline in 14 hours. And that only amounted to about 30% completion, which omits a daft amount of unlockable items/collectables.

It's clear that they're fans of the movies, with some excised content such as Tom Bombadil making an appearance. There's even Peter Jackson inside the entrance of Brie, just as the cameo he made in the movies themselves. It's certainly faithful, it just can't surprise as a result.

With it on rails so much, it just felt a bit pedestrian compared to the more varied and creative Lego Batman, even though it borrows the same style of open world and free travel.

Well worth grabbing at 7.49. It's a heavily flawed game and feels like a missed opportunity but its rarely boring and you'll sink 10-15 hours into it and enjoy most of them.

Finally they properly discounted Worms.

Which would be known as the best worms game? Haven't played it in years and want to get one of them.

The new one, Revolutions, is a good laugh. Played it on PS 3, not too sure what's it's like on PC, though.

Have you played Worms Reloaded GOTY edition? 75% discount on that and seems to have gotten good reviews.

Confessions of a steam sale addict.

Bah, I swore I wouldn't look at anything else since I got The Walking Dead but LA Noire is up for a pittance and I bought it on a whim. I'm hoping it's good.

For anyone tempted to get FTL

You can buy it off the devs website for $5 (its currently on sale for €5). The dev should also get more money.

You get the steam key as well

Win Win!

Only a reminder that Legends of Grimrock sale for 2.74 EUR will end in 6 hours. If you want an old school, Eye of the Beholder style, dungeon crawler with hidden buttons on every level, monsters that will eat your whole party if you stand still and plenty of puzzles this is the game for you! It's a bit limited in character creation (Warrior/Rogue/Wizard only) but still plenty of fun (oh and expect to reload A LOT!).

My opinion is that it wont, Devs are tight, and not alot of people played before the sale. Looks good but I think that is the lowest it will go.

Cheapest I've ever seen it for was €12.49, I paid the full ~€22-23 when it first came out, it's worth it, great craic chopping your opponents limbs off
