yea, it's definitely my kind of game. I'll probably pick it up. $7 is insignificant.

Steam has a week-long sale of Eidos and Square Enix games. We already had Hitman and Deux Ex on Monday so not sure if the other offers can possibly be better (not exactly an Eidos fan generally speaking, without hating their games or anything), but just sayin', keep an eye out this week.

The two Deus Ex games are up on Steam for $5 for the pair. Not a bad price.

Trine is also available for $5. Ox, you may be interested if you haven't already played it, since you're the indie whore around here.

Deus Ex is really tempting, but I think I'll pass. It's not like I'll ever go back and play the original again, and the second isn't worth the disk space.

The grand theft auto classic pack was on sale for like $7.50. That includes GTA I, II, III, Vice City and San Andreas. Not a bad deal. In fact, good enough that I picked it up. Unfortunately, it looks like the sale ended. Sorry guys.

Damn. I would have bought that. Vice City was up for 3 € or so earlier this week and I came close to buying it, seeing as it was my favorite installment of the series (eighties music, Miami Vice feel). But then I looked at my bank account and decided against spending on a game I'm unlikely to play soon.

But 7 € for ALL those games is just too good to pass on. Sucks I missed it.

Yea, GTA III was awesome because of the original music and the fact it was my first GTA game. Vice city was probably the best because of environment and stuff. San Andreas was kinda cool too, in its own way, but lacked something. I wouldn't mind trying GTA IV if they neutered all the DRM. *shrug*

Hey, Vice City is on sale for $2.50 right now, 4 hours sale. San Andreas is $5

Weekend deal is the codemaster's racing pack. I prefer racing games on the xbox360, but still, it's a good deal.

Dirt, Dirt2, Fuel, Grid, and TOCA 3 for $17.50.

yeah, racing not for me. I did get that Vice City for 2.5 € deal though, after missing out on the complete pack I figured "fuck it it's slightly more expensive than one beer..."

The publishers are abusing steams huge player base. For instance, Empire: Total War is 50€ on steam and 15£ on game.co.uk (downloadable).

I'm surprised Steam allows that. It just devalues their platform. Still, good catch, looks like it's always a good idea to do some comparison shopping before jumping the gun.

Goddamn, i'm in need for a decent rally game. Dirt is just a yank take on rally, which is blasphemous to say the least. Bring back the 20 minute RAC rally stages!!!! Now!!!

OMG, WRC 2010 is in the works... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwESiu0pCGo <- No actualy gameplay footage yet

Yeah I always run up steam vs.

- local brick store
- other digital download services (D2D, GoG, Impulse)
- play.com
- cdwow.nl
- amazon.co.uk

You'd be surprised how the actual online retail sites very often offer the games cheaper (with shipping costs) than the digital download services. And if I'd lived in the UK or US, I wouldn't even have to pay for shipping on most of them.

yea... I already noticed that Just Cause 2 is cheaper in places other than steam. I bet Metro 2033 is too.

Well game.co.uk has a 50% off on Empire:TW 'download version' so it is only 8£ for two more days and i bought it. Screw Steam and the 50€ price.
