Multi Latest Steam & General Gaming Bargains: Read first post!

Got i now! Thanks a bunch!

+rep for that!

 

Feeling a need to reiterate my request from yesterday. If there's someone from the UK doing a last-minute pick-up of the L4D2 4-pack *and* has a PayPal account I'd *very much* like to get a copy gifted (in exchange for cash of course, hence the PayPal bit ).

Don't delay, PM me today! (before 5:59 PM GMT)

 

Current Specials are:

Civilisation V, £5 off at £29.99
APB, £5 off at £29.99
CoD MW2 Resurgence Pack, -10% at £9.89

 

Steam got me pretty good over the last week or so. Damn.

Day of Defeat: Source $1.50
Bionic Commando: Rearmed $6.50
Borderlands $10
General Knoxx $3
Dragon Age Origins DDE $30
Grand Theft Auto IV $5
Red Faction Guerrilla $5
Star Wars Empire at War $3.50


Actually, damn. I got a whole ton of good games I missed out on for about the price of a single game.

Other games I would have gotten if I didn't already have were Mass Effect 2, L4D2, and maybe a couple others. I was contemplating GTAIV. I despise GFWL and I heard the game runs like crap on PC, but for 5 bucks, why the hell not?

Wanted to get Just Cause 2, Bioshock and DMC4 but $20 was a bit too much to spend on JC2 after all of my other purchases, and I still haven't gotten past the first boss in DMC3, so I don't think I need to buy DMC4 just now. I'm sure they'll be on sale again at some point.

 

This is what I bought from the sale.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Left 4 Dead 2
Eve Online
Max Payne
Max Payne 2
Half Life 1
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
ARMA 2 (ROW)

All those in BOLD are part of the THQ Complete Pack

 

holy crap you'll be good for a few years now ... 0.o

 

Completed Star Wars the Force Unleashed completely. Was a pretty awful game.

 

Here's what I got in the STEAM sale. Yeah, yeah, I know. I held back.

 

i bought


ziro
plants vs zombies
monkey island 2 (not released yet)
re bough cs1.6 because i was tired of switching accounts

 

Gutted that I missed out on the cheap DLC for Borderlands. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

Not too much here:

Beat Hazard
Darwinia
DEFCON
Multiwinia
Uplink
Left 4 Dead
Painkiller Black Edition
Titan Quest
Titan Quest - Immortal Throne
The Void
The Chronicles of Riddick
Devil May Cry 4
Mass Effect
The Witcher

But then I already owned quite a few titles that I would have gotten otherwise, and some deals were worse here like the THQ complete pack.

 

I was looking to get the whole COH series and ended up with the whole THQ pack. $50 for 22games.

 

Didn't get too much...
Chrome
Chrome: Specforce
Killing Floor
Killing Floor - Nightfall Character Pack
Killing Floor - Outbreak Character Pack
Borderlands
Borderlands DLC: Dr. Ned
Borderlands DLC: The Secret Armoury
JC2 Black Market Boom Pack
JC2 Black Market Aerial Pack
JC2 DLC - Monster Truck
Gratuitous Space Battles
Call of Duty
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty United Offensive
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
Call of Duty World at War
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Shatter
Red Faction Guerilla
Painkiller: Black Edition
Zeno Clash

And I bought Devil May Cry 4 but it hasn't come through on steam despite the fact paypal have charged me for it, so sorting that out atm.

Didn't get the THQ pack as I owned pretty much every game in that.

 

I got:
GTA IV - $15
Red faction: Guerrilla - $5
World of Goo - $5
Overlord
Overlord II
Overlord: Raising Hell

Bolded is the overlord pack which was $5.
Maybe $10?

Huh.
I got less than I thought.

 

I'm proud to say that I didn't buy anything; well unless you count Deus Ex but that was a cough, cough, convenience buy.

 

i got:

chains
trine
borderlands
freedom force
star wars empire at war
star wars night of the old republic
street fighter iv
thief:deadly shadows

 

can't be a good time to bring out new games

 

Borderlands DLC: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (EU)
Max Payne Bundle (EU)
FUEL

That's all I bought in the sales. I had most of the blockbuster games already, or wouldn't play them if I did get them (yes, I have the CoH pack from the last sale).

Also, bar the Borderlands DLC, all were bought in mind of playing on a Mobility ATi 5650 in my new laptop GTA:SA is a bit iffy though, framerate peaks and troughs whatever settings I'm on I haven't tried ThiefS yet.

 

I didn't buy anything, it was an awful sale, pretty much exactly the same games as at Christmas.

<rant />

 

I gave up on getting bfbc2 from steam, and i dunno how it happened, but it dropped in price from 40 euros down to 20 euros where i work, and I also i also got a 10% staff discount downt to 17 euros as they hadn't noticed it was already reduced w00t. Got it for the same price as you lot get it for in the UK over on amazon, well almost. xD
