Inphidel Posted June 24, 2010 Holy crap - nows the time to fill your back-catalog THQ sale is pretty much worth it. Metro 2033 Stalker Red Faction Guerrilla (space asshole) Warhammer 40k DoW II alone i think is worth the 49 bux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pabosher Posted June 24, 2010 Yeah, I pretty much cried when I saw Chris's tweet. Or rather, my wallet did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted June 24, 2010 Telltale Everything pack for $50? I might not have any excuse not to try out the Sam and Max games again (only played 101). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 24, 2010 Damn. If only XBLA had these kind of sales! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishjohn Posted June 24, 2010 Steam proves it is awesome and evil once again. I am going to have to try and exert some form of will power here. Some.... form... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted June 24, 2010 Please Capcom, for the love of ALL THAT IS GOOD AND JUST; throw Bionic Commando up on sale for a few bucks. PLEASE. I want it and I want to buy it for all my friends. We will play multiplayer together and we will laugh and have fun and it'll be great. PLEASE. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!!11 :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luggage Posted June 24, 2010 Damn enablers, those Steam guys. Well, I guess I am now the proud owner of Trine. Let's see what all the fuss is about. Daily deals for the next ten days will be devastating for my wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forbin Posted June 24, 2010 Farcry 2 for under 14 bucks. Trine for $4. They should call it the Idle thumbs pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thyroid Posted June 24, 2010 Typical. I run out of money when some games I want are on sale. So what's the deal with Metro 2033? Looks like a typical FPS monster apocalyptic disaster with that almight Doom influence. Couldn't I just find a cheap copy of Doom 2 and get the same satisfaction, minus teh graph!cs?

Lu Posted June 24, 2010 Hmm, well, it's basically by a bunch of STALKER team dudes who went off and did something else. It's much more linear than something like STALKER, but it's quite good and can get quite tense. It does a bunch of things really well. Tensest moment for me was when I was running around on the surface, which requires that you wear a gasmask, and I started running out of airfilters. I'm like freaking out trying to find filters on a corpse somewhere. Meanwhile, some mutant creature sees me and goes after me while I'm slowly choking to death. They did that stuff so well that I actually started to panic as I was running around. In any case, I bought the best multiplayer game of all time (Hint: Sounds like Shmionic Shamando) although I probably won't be able to get a match going... Ever.

Every week there is a Deal of the Week. When it started, it was usually only one game at a time, but lately it's been more several games at a time. Usually 33 or 50% off (800 pts usually goes to 400, and 1200 usually goes to 800). They've also had a couple of what they call "Inventory Blowout Sales" (stupid name, considering the "inventory" doesn't actually take up any shelf space). They one in April, and another just ended on Wednesday. They are also running a 50% off sale on Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. Back on the topic of the Steam sale, I'm actually kind of glad I have a shitty compute and a hefty backlog. Otherwise, my wallet would hate me. There is a lot of good stuff there.

Sully907 Posted June 25, 2010 I can't believe steam would do this to me. I already own Company of Heroes, I own Titan Quest, I own Dawn of war 2, but not the expansion, and I just paid 25 dollars for Metro 2033 monday morning, and they come out and offer all that, the expansions, and like 12 other of THQs best games for 50...Son of a bitch...

Squid Division Posted June 25, 2010 The Sherlock Holmes games are half-off in the sale too, so too can witness creepy Watson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted June 25, 2010 I have to say that 'The Creepy Watson' sounds like something disgusting you do during sex... Like the Cleveland Steamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted June 25, 2010 i wish i had money, and a modern pc. oh well, i got deus ex for 2.50 or something, so i guess i'll call it a catching up with classic games exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grufff Posted June 25, 2010 This Steam sale is just too good! I only went on there to pre-order SoMI2:SE but ended up buying the THQ pack, Trine, Far Cry 2, and Bioshock 2. Yet more games to add to my ever-growing backlog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 25, 2010 Garden Ninja said: They do. They aren't quite as good <snip> Yeah, that's what I meant. Even at 50% off I wouldn't buy some of those games, but with Steam you can get some incredible bargains. (Games for £2.50GBP, or even newer games, like Bioshock 2, for £9.99GBP, etc.) I wish XBLA had sales like that! I don't think I've ever bought anything in an XBLA sale, though. I think Braid got really cheap at one point, and that was totally worth it - but I'd already bought it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inphidel Posted June 25, 2010 ok I got the THQ pack, I am gonna wanna get some idle thumbs coop DoWII action in that survival mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sully907 Posted June 25, 2010 The survival mode is a lot of fun in Dawn of War 2. Make sure you don't ignore Titan Quest too. I think it's the best diablo knockoff out there, even better then torchlight imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
