Portal 2...GET!

This is one of the few games on Steam that I've been looking forward to going on sale.

Incidentally, this is why I mentioned Portal 2 by name in the TF2 thread when linking over to here. ;D

[Top Gun]

I don't even want to look at the sale listings. Way too tempting, and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet.

[Moseph]

Ha. Now I feel good about my decision not to pay full price for Portal 2 when it came out, and still not to pay full price even when it permanently went down from $40 to $30.

[DarkeSword]

Don't buy anything that's NOT a Daily Deal until the end.

All the associated Fallout NV DLC is 75% off as well. I just completed my collection. A good day indeed.

[SuperiorX]

I hope they put the Deus Ex: HR DLC on sale, cause I'm not paying $15 for a little add-on mission otherwise.

Now I hope they finally release a decent Call of Duty bundle...

Maybe one with all of the games for $50.

[SuperiorX]

[Dexie]

I recommend the Overlord Complete Pack if you don't have it already. Overlord 1 and 2 are like evil versions of Pikmin.

[Brandon Strader]

I got Limbo and two copies of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Because the Splinter Cell thing is actually a "franchise sale", so they're all marked down and there's a pack.

Also, I highly recommend Rage... it's great!

Finally went and bought myself the Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics pack ($10 was a pretty good deal in my eyes), and I'm going through Fallout 1 for the first time in a good long while.

But since the game is from 1997, the video graphics look all terrible with random colors and artifacts everywhere, and sometimes the game screen does that annoying black-out where you have to roll your mouse over everything to get it visible once more.

I'm sure someone has encountered something like that before. If so, does anyone have a remedy? Sometimes I forget that these older games are increasingly more difficult to run on higher hardware... >.>
