I sincerely doubt there's anyone out there (especially people who are watching this topic >_>) that hasn't played Portal/TF2/Any of the HL2 games, but if there IS, the Orange Box is 15 bucks today, too.

I disagree, Prey is shit, boring and not worth a damned cent.

Get STALKER instead.

Curses. I bought The Orange Box (and didn't really download it) four days ago at 22 bucks, which was still a good deal, but not as good. And still have a store copy of Bioshock lying around which I bought for 20$.

Also thinking I should have gotten the id pack for 25 bucks after all, though whatever. I've plennnnnnnnnty of gaming for awhile now. (Got Braid, Secret of Monkey Island - only played Curse / Escape before, and the LucasArts pack.) Combined with ALSO having KOTOR2 still lying around forever unplayed. Ack.

Jade Empire for less than $4 today, if anyone cares.

Strago · « **Reply #29 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:31:54 PM »

... hrm. Bioware RPGs. I do like them, despite myself. Is it any good, people who've played it?

Shale · « **Reply #30 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:04:17 PM »

Heck, even I'm interested in that one, since it looks like an action-RPG system instead of BioWare's usual crap.

Unoriginal · « **Reply #31 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:26:45 PM »

It is. Can't say much more than that though, as I'm not all that far into it.

Grefter · « **Reply #32 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:52:25 PM »

It is $4 good. PC Version is incredibly playable. Probably one of their better ports all things considered.

It is a Bioware game, you know what you are getting yourself into even with it being an action combat system.

Strago · « **Reply #33 on:** December 29, 2009, 10:00:43 PM »

Yeah, more or less what I figured. Bought it an hour or so ago, because, damn. $3.75.

Shale · « **Reply #34 on:** December 30, 2009, 06:47:18 PM »

Both Max Payne games, $3.74. I'm sure Super will join me in whipping people into buying that.

Also me. Two of the best games ever made, people.

I never finished the second, but the first is a classic everyone should play.

Grefter · « **Reply #37 on:** December 30, 2009, 09:44:37 PM »

The second is will worth playing for about 3/4 of it. By the end of it you will be sick of the actual map, but everything involving Address Unknown is awesome.

Strago · « **Reply #38 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:11:53 PM »

Just chiming in with my love of Max Payne. They should be played.

ARRRRGH should I buy the Telltale Everything Pack? Should I?

superaielman · « **Reply #39 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:22:19 PM »

Yes, they are up your alley.

Xeroma · « **Reply #40 on:** December 30, 2009, 11:08:36 PM »

As a heads up for people getting Max Payne on today's sale, and if you have Vista/Windows 7...

Get X-Com. All of you. Especially those who don't have it. If you have it? Buy another copy and send it to the slackers who don't.

NOW

Xeroma · « **Reply #43 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:49:28 PM »

Street Fighter 4 for $10 is a ridiculously good deal for anyone with a good PC. I won't be getting it since I have it on 360 already though.

Half Life Source for $2.50 today as well.

Indeed. Everybody get it so I have people to play against.

Half-Life sucks in any engine, though.

Grefter · « **Reply #45 on:** January 01, 2010, 01:23:35 AM »

Half-Life Source is from all reports I have heard both nice and not so good. The updated graphics and stuff are cool and all, but the game is just a bit off because of the physics engine differences. So meh. Either or.

superaielman · « **Reply #46 on:** January 01, 2010, 02:10:48 AM »

Street Fighter 4 is tons of fun and it involves Ken wars. Buy it for ten dollars.

Shale · « **Reply #47 on:** January 01, 2010, 03:22:54 PM »

Apparently Grefter is psychic, because Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is now on sale for $10.

Strago · « **Reply #48 on:** January 01, 2010, 03:29:31 PM »

Finally bit the bullet and purchased Telltale's Everything. I was also flirting with buying the Eidos pack just for the Hitman games, but then noticed that there's a separate Hitman pack with all three for $13.50 or so. Nice.

... and now I want to buy The Awakened. Should I? Gref? Goddamn. I won't need to buy another game until halfway through 2011.

Grefter · « **Reply #49 on:** January 02, 2010, 12:17:48 AM »

Let me put it this way.

It is a bad game. You will have fun, but it is baaaaad. The story is really quite fine and everything (albeit a bit light on the Lovecraft for my taste). Just the actual gameplay itself is really not great.
