$49.99 total

I only own Stalker,TQ, and TQ:IT

I think I'm going to bite. That's a lot of games I haven't tried yet.

I would rate it a 20 out of 10. You forgot to include Warhammer DoW 2 on the list which retails for $39.99 right there. Think of it as paying full price for DoW 2 and getting 18 games for $10.00. I already own DoW: Gold, DoW Dark Crusade, STALKER and CoH and I'm buying this. I'll just gift the ones I have to my brother and friends. I'm in just for DoW 2 and TQ.

Yeah, somehow my copy/paste/edit missed that one. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Elcs]

The best software deal ever to exist that does not involve freebies.

DoW1, 2 and CoH + expansion packs for both represent two of the best RTS games of all time in my opinion, an evolution beyond simple RTSes.

TQ + IT is perhaps the best "Diablo 2 replacement" there is. If I didnt already own half of the pack, I'd have bought it already.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a fine FPS with minor RPG elements.

To me, words cannot begin to describe how great a deal this is.

 

[zerocool84]

I already have all the Company of Heroes and STALKER but would still get this as DoW2 is there, all the Red Factions, and the Titan Quests. Steam deals have always been the best deals since the dawn of gaming. Sucks I'm broke right now or else I'd jump on this. I have the Unreal Pack, Grand Theft Auto pack and Doom packs. You can be sure any Steam bundling is going to be worth while.

 

[jlchoi]

If you don't have any of the games, it's a must buy. Otherwise, you'd have to decide if it's worth it based on which games you already have.

 

[Daverino]

Well I just checked and you CAN NOT give away extra copies of games you already own if you buy the package. Apparently you can only give away some copies of Valve's games, but that's it. If you already own the game and you buy the pack you lose it. It's still a great deal for anyone who doesn't have at least 3 of these titles, but it made things a little more iffy for me.

I'd still jump at it in a heart-beat if I had the money even though I already have 4 of the games.

 

[shortylickens]

OK. I already own most of the stuff I like on CD and DVD. But the convenience of not using discs for many games I love is worth 50 bucks.
Also, they include some games I wasnt sure about buying yet. I finally got to play Red Faction 3. Its not impressive but I dont feel like I got ripped off.

Overall, good deal. I feel sorry for folks who already have Steam versions of most of these games. They are probably trying to justify the purchase to themselves.

But, if you're one of those folks who isnt sure if they like Titan Quest or any Red Faction or Dawn Of War, this is a GREAT time to find out.

 

[Alex C]

Holy crap, I wish I wasn't poor. Titan Quest and CoH are pretty high on my list of games to try out. I've already got STALKER and the Red Faction games for PS2, but this is still really tempting.

Edit: I couldn't say no, now I've got to finish Dragon Age (and maybe play through it another five times) and start some of these.

 

[Zenoth]

There are five games from that pack that I don't own nor ever wanted to play, the rest I already bought them separately, but if I hadn't I would certainly have bought that pack anyway, it's a great deal, probably one the best since the Orange Box.

 

[NoSoup4You]

That pack is a ferocious deal. Under-rated game - Red Faction Guerrilla has awesome destruction physics if you're into that sort of stuff. The story and voice acting is mediocre at best but it's really only there to further along the action, so it's tolerable. It is just EXTREMELY satisfying to walk around with a sledgehammer crushing buildings and anything else that gets in your way. Control scheme is also great if you have and xbox controller (didn't try with mouse/key).

But enough about that, great value in this THQ pack. I'm tempted myself except that I stopped playing RTS games awhile ago and I own most of the other titles in the list.

 

[JoshGuru7]

It's a good deal if you are specifically in the market for DoW II or if you never played company of heroes and like RTS games. Otherwise I like the deal a lot less than others seem to. I've played all of the games in this pack except for Juiced and the only one that I would strongly recommend today is the CoH series.

 

[FerraraZ]

Its an amazing deal 10 out of 10. The games that are included can keep u busy for a whole year.

 

[Via]

I did end up getting it. That's just too many games to pass up for $50.

I've always wanted to try the Red Faction games, and Company of Heroes. So it's a good deal for me for those alone.

Ding ding ding - though it's some Steam, some CD.

It's pretty aggravating on Steam combos how you just waste the ones you own already.

 

[Via]

Well, strike one.

I downloaded FSW for some quick FPS action and the game won't run properly on my PC. It stutters horribly at all times - intro videos, menu, and in game.

Oh well; if everything else works I'll still be ok with the package.

you can gift them (which you can sell instead of "gift")

although the burden is still on you to find the buyer

 

[Maximilian]

Awesome deal, i own all the good ones already but for anyone who dosent its really great value. Hell company of heros alone is worth the money, best RTS ive played since red alert 2, or at least its held my attention since release.

 

[Born2bwire]

Damn, I bought it the last time it was on sale but it did not include Red Faction games or Saints Row. It's even more of a hell of a deal now.

 

[Daverino]

No, actually, you cannot. You can only gift certain Valve games and 4-packs like L4D and Borderlands. If you buy this combo (or any others) and you already own some of the games you basically lose the extra copy.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

If I didn't already own most of those games I'd definitely pick it up. Excellent value.

 

[Acanthus]

Didn't THQ publish Supreme Commander and Supcom : FA?

Jerks didn't include one of the best games they ever made.

Ahhh i cant wait to fire that up again on my new lappy High settings, no lag, tons of units. Supcom is a sweet game! The pack right now is amazing value though and theres already a ton of RTS in there, i guess they wanted to mix it up a bit.
