These are supposedly the games on sale. Just count backwards from the bottom right.
Click to expand...

My attempt to identify all those games of the top of my head. (with "witty" comments, from me!)

1)Mirror's edge (nice game)
2)The Witcher (awesome game)
3)NFS Shift (which is not a very good game, especially if u don't have a wheel and pedals, but depends who you ask)
4)Command and conquer Red Alert 3 (a complete piece of crap - stay away) May be worth it for $5 though.
5)Wolfenstein?
6)No clue, possibly Overlord.
7)No idea possibly Titan Quest? (most likely not though)
8)Mercenaries (Crap game?)
9)Street Fighter IV (One of the best if not the best games on this list. Get a good controller though)
10)I don't know... One of the "Battlefields" possibly?
11)Unknown
12)Unknown
13)Possibly "Crysis"
14)Some "Tiger Woods" crap... I don't play such games.
15)NFS: Pro Street (Crap game)
16)Dont know
17)Resident Evil V (Great game, which gives motion sickness to some)
18)dont know
19)no idea
20)no clue (possibly Civilizations)
21)Battleforge (crap, because you have to pay for their "cards" or whatever)
22)Machinarium (nice time killer, but puzzles are way too difficult to figure out without playing that stupid mini game IMHO)
23)possibly City of Heroes.. or Villains... or whatever...
24)No idea.. But this cant possibly be a good game.

Guessing (addendum):

6. Majesty 2.
8. I remember seeing this . . . what was it . . . . ?
12. The Sims x.
20. Civilization IV.

EDIT:

8. Mercenaries 2.
13. I'm leaning towards Mass Effect . . . .

Yeah, I'm really stretching to see anything in there of interest either . . . even if they do end up being just $5, and that's not a given at this point.

Wow.

$39.95 . . . what a "Sale"

Doesn't look like there's going to be any interest at all in this . . . .


Wait, they just changed it to $19.95.

Still not a grabber for me though.

At that price and the next installment on the horizon I am not getting it either.
They are just milking it for all it's worth before dropping the price.
Heck regular price at ebworld.com is $30 now.
Might see much better deals on the game in the next few month.

dammit, that was Steam's price a few weeks back. I was hoping for at least $9.99. Will hold off as I'm knee deep in Dragon Age and Batman. And I have Torchlight sitting off to the side.

No wonder why companies don't want to make PC games anymore. If you won't buy it for $20, why bother? This game has a lot of content and is well done. They continued to polish and refine the game long after it was originally released and provided substantial updates free of charge to anyone that had already bought it.

Yeah, that was pretty cool of them...I had the original version and was able to get the extra stuff for free. :)

Could someone please tell me how you play these games? Do they give you a key for Steam or do they use some platform? Their site FAQ is not too helpful.
