Looks like its going to be an awesome weekend.

With Borderlands 2 going up for preorder at places like amazon, I was wondering when Borderlands was going to go on sale.

Borderlands GOTY $7.49 is an awesome price for how much game you get.

I wish I had a dollar for every time Borderlands went on sale. I'd probably have about $20.

Anyway, it looks like they'll be having a specific franchise on deep-discount for everyday of the sale. I'm guessing Borderlands, then Bioshock, Mafia, Civilization, or maybe Duke Nukem? I'm personally crossing my fingers for a sale on NBA 2k12.

Oh, and as always: Wait until the last day of the sale before buying any 2K games that aren't on daily deal. Some games will go even cheaper than the regular 50% off price, up to 75% off, so don't rush out and buy anything today other than the current Borderlands promo.

With 2k Games putting back XCOM which was due out tomorrow... this leaves me wanting 2013 to come sooner :(

It's on sale.
Along with 92 other games.

I know all 2K games are on sale right now, but I'm hoping for a deep-discount past 50% off. Right now it's at a regular sale price of $14.99. I'm waiting to see if it appears on one of the dailies for as low as $10.

(Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm cheap)

Gotcha.

Certainly, Steam has trained us to wait for deep discounts.

Live by the sword etc.

does the borderlands DLC import your character from the main game? I'm not 100% sure if I saved the game file when I reformatted my hdd.

AFAIK borderland dlcs are just additional areas that are part of your main game. You should not need to import anything and if your save files are still there then those new areas should just show up.

If you don't have borderlands from any of the eleventy past sales, buy the GOTY now!

If you only have the core game: I didn't like Moxxi much but it does add an item bank. I did enjoy the other 3 DLCs though (Knoxx, Ned, Robolution).

Are the two DLCs for Mafia II that contain story, uh, Joe's Adventure and Jimmy's Vendetta, are those worth it? I liked the base game obviously.

I see the original Mafia is only a couple of bucks.

Does it still hold up today on PC? I think I rented it one night for console and didn't care for it too much, but that may have been the console part of it.

I remember when it first came out, I thought it was pretty awesome, and made it about half way though the game before quitting, it was like watching a slide show back then.

I just bought it again to close out that part of my life of things I never finished.

Yup, and it is still one of the favorite games I have ever played.

Meh on Bioshock 2. I didn't think the first one was that great so no real interest in the second.

hmm, thinking about picking up Civ 5.

My friend has been looking for a city building game similar to simcity or settlers. I would like something where we can play Co-op and build a large city/kingdom/whatever over multiple sessions.

Would Civ5 fit this bill or should I look elsewhere?
