Now only if my PC worked with games!

[pangitkqb]

Gotta love the big sales. Steam = freakin' sweet :)

[Substance101]

just bought Bioshock2 for 14usd wooohooo

didnt wanna buy prince of persia but the price was too good pass up 33usd.

People not taking advantage of these sales dont have a clue what they are missing.

[killyourfm]

I love me some capitalism.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Great, and I don't have any money to get anything. :@

[StixRemix]

Dang, those are some killer deals. I'm so glad Steam is on mac now.

[reluctant_gamer]

But are all the games on Mac?

[shadowdancer]

I think only a fraction of them are.

[reluctant_gamer]

Jesus, Trine is only 4 bucks!?

[shadowdancer]

that's about as awesome as the BioShock2 price. glad i waited!

[PhilipLarkin]

95% off?

Jesus...

[killyourfm]

That really borders on free...

Ha the steam page has crashed with all the activity. Not much there that interests me, I think I am going to stop buying games just because they are a "deal" and stick to buying games that actually interest me.

Edit - I don't usually do this but I have to love the moron that disagreed with me. I wonder which part of my statement did they disagree with ? Was it the bit where I said that "none of these games interest ME" or was it the fact I said "I am going to be a bit more careful with MY money and only buy games that interest ME" ?

[killyourfm]

I hear ya, but their damn specials always appeal to the digital packrat inside of me. The cash practically leaps out.

[mcgrawgamer]

@ charmers I don't disagree with your statement but to add to it. Like you I too am a little more cautious with my money. But I love these types of steam deals. For me it's just like buying a used game for the 360 or ps3 only this way the initial investment isn't bad 4 bucks compared to 20 bucks at gamestop and if you miss the 7 day turnaround at gamestop the same game will trade in for what 3 bucks?

From personal experience zeno clash, the stalker series, chains, torchlight, defense grid, overlord, fuel, and world of goo are a few examples of games I most likely would have overlooked this generation had it not been for the great deals that steam provided. Thank God I've yet to make a bad purchase on steam but if I do and it'll happen eventually the investment of 15 bucks or less will be a much easier pill to swallow than 20+ for a used game at gamestop

[Cajun Chicken]

I'll keep an eye on this. I could do with Left 4 Dead 2. I'm sure they'll put it up at some point.

[Checkmate]

i hope so man

[Cajun Chicken]

And Garry's Mod. I only currently have the free one before Garry was bought up by Valve.

[narked]

they will, probably July 1st or 2nd :)

[narked]

there it is mate L4D2, as cheap as can be :)

[BYE]

Finally a discount on the Tropico 3 addon :)

Steam is awesome.

[MidnightWatcher]

Does anyone know if Borderlands is any good as £14.99 is quiet a deal

[jagstatboy]

HELLS YES!!!!

[killyourfm]

I easily sank 60+ hours into Borderlands. It becomes 2x awesome with another buddy co-op. Also recommended is all the DLC *EXCEPT* Mad Moxxie.

[ic4ruz]

Now I just have to get paid, unfortunately thats not until 30. June ):

[DirtyLary]

:( Fallout GOTY isn't part of the sale.

[Charmers]

That is probably down to the fact it was on sale two weeks ago. Historically if a game has been in a previous sale it doesn't get featured in any new sale for a while, if you see what I mean.

[Vip3r]

I've bought so many games on Steam in their sales. Countless good deals and not enough money to buy them. :(

[mcgrawgamer]

that bioshock 2 deal is calling my name along with quite a few others.

[andyboy13]

I hate you steam!1! I am still recovering from the Christmas sales guys come on.... I have 107 games tied to my account already, oh well time to load up more :P

[Captain Tuttle]

I could really get behind digital distribution!

[Spenok]
