Abadoss Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well... that's just great. One splurge down. See what you made me do Dhsu? Anyway, I picked up the two Monkey Island special editions, Tales of Monkey Island, and Portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You didn't have Portal? They gave that one away not too long ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You didn't have Portal? They gave that one away not too long ago! Also, since Portal's currently $7.99, why wouldn't you just get Orange Box for $14.99? Unless he meant he picked up Portal for cheaper earlier in the week...

kitty Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 EDIT: Alternatively, is borderlands one of those games where you don't really need the DLC to have fun, in which case, it IS only $10? Please answer no to this question. For my bank account's sake. I thoroughly enjoyed General Knoxx plus it does some nice things like introduce some minor changes to add versatility to the classes and increase the level cap. You can definitely do without Mad Moxxi though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagist Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So there are some cool sales right now. A few of them are actually repeats from Black Friday (EVE Online, KOTOR) but others are ones I have been waiting a while for! Like Mirror's Edge for $5!

Dunther Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I bought (not counting the treasure hunt sales), Left 4 Dead 2 (too many of my friends play it, time to try) and... SUUUUUUUPER Meat Boy, wich is really awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Machinarium's cheap again, beautiful buy if you haven't already. Mirror's Edge and KOTOR both look like good deals, too, though haven't played Mirror's Edge myself. Anyone know if Neverwinter Nights 2 is worth it if you haven't played the first?

If you want Machinarium, go buy the Humble Indie Bundle instead as it comes with a TON of great games. humblebundle.com -- no direct link because I'm on my iPod waiting for pizza.

Gollgagh Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 too late dood it ended a couple days ago I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah. But you can still get Braid and Machinarium (my favorite two of the bunch) for $8 with today's sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Braid is a fucking masterpiece, everyone should play it, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Mirror's Edge is definitely worth the $5. The controls are slightly wonky, but once you get used to it, it's a most excellent game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Anyone know if Neverwinter Nights 2 is worth it if you haven't played the first? Yes. Hell Yes. Hell Fucking Yes. NWN 2 is an absolute steal for this price and it's without a doubt the best deal out of todays ones. Worth it, if only for the Mask of the Betrayer expansion.

Graycascade Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Picked up the King's Bounty pack. Never heard of it, but it looked interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's a fun take on the hex-grid RPG, with a troop-based spin, but it has caused my computer to blue-screen several times; something to do with the Nvidia graphics drivers. Tried replacing the driver to no avail, so I'll have to wait 'til I pick up a new computer to play it. Enjoyed the parts I did get to, though. Definitely not easy, but certainly fun.

Powerlord Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm tempted to pick up Global Agenda, since it looked interesting... but I'm not sure how much it relies on its online component. Although, it does appear that its online component is now free to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Taken SimCity 4: Deluxe Edition...not sure I will ever play that but... I was tempted about the Doom collection but I think I can pass that for now, my main interest was only Doom 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 New day, new deals... the interesting ones I see today are: Amnesia: The Dark Descent for $6.80 The Quake Collection for $10.20. Note: Quake 4 is not on Steam, so it is not part of the Quake Collection or iD Software pack. Dead Space for $6.80 Plants vs. Zombies GOTY for $4.00 I've been eyeing The Ball for a while, but I don't really know if it's any good, but it's part of today's sale. (Fun fact: It's published by the same people that make Killing Floor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Taken Swords & Soldiers HD, I would really like to play Amnesia but I tried the demo and my PC can't run it properly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graycascade Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Amnesia: The Dark Descent for $6.80 [ This makes me very glad I didn't buy this three weeks ago. Note: if you have any previous Penumbra title, Amnesia's only $4.80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The Quake Collection for $10.20. Note: Quake 4 is not on Steam, so it is not part of the Quake Collection or iD Software pack. Word of warning though - the soundtracks are not included, so there is no music in those games, which is a shame considering how good those soundtracks really are. They also don't seem to run under Windows 7. I used a free engine called DarkPlaces (which is a stand-alone executable which uses Quake's data files) to play Quake, dunno how to go about playing Q2 or Q3. Personally, I think it's really lame to sell old games like these without modifying them to work under a recent OS, especially without warning you about compatibility issues. At least the very oldest games like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D are shipped with DOSBox so you can just run them out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Yeah I've not bought Q2 on Steam because the soundtrack isn't there... I think copyright issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well see quake 1 and 2 used redbook audio (meaning steamed the music from CD). I'm pretty sure it's not copyright issues, but instead an issue of reprogramming some stuff, but really that's just plain lazy. Are you sure that the audio isn't there? I'm installing my copy right now just to check if it's in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
