Well I picked up PVZ for $4. Considering Dead Space, but probably not going to go for it.

Is it worth 4 dollars im debating.... I am picking up 2 of the brother in arms I have the last one which I thought was pretty good and for that price id pick it up.
 
Huh, Hearts of Iron initially showed up, now it's saying it's not available in my region (US).

edit: now it's showing up again.

Hmm, Dead Space is tempting. :hmm:

City Of Heroes is a subscription/MMO thing, right?

worst day of deals so far.

was thinking of buying the hoi dlc crap, but it's not on sale unless you buy the entire pack and i've already got the games.

debating getting backups of the bia stuff, but at $10 think i'll pas for now.
 
These are the best games on sale today (you should buy ALL of these):

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Dead Space
Plants vs. Zombies

Games that should be avoided:

Kane & Lynch 2
Sniper: Ghost Warrior

Bummer, if I would've waited a few weeks I could've bought the game at $4.80 instead of $10.

I haven't even played it yet.
 
I'm gonna take a look at the Quake collection when I get home...somehow, despite being a PC gamer since the early 90's, I've managed to NOT play any of id's games. I picked up the Doom pack yesterday.

Whaaaaaaaaat? Not sure how you managed that one, but definitely you should pick them up. Not sure why Quake 4 isn't available on Steam though.
 
eh, guess I'll hold out for, hopefully, a sub-$20 FO3. Other than that, I think I'm done. ...maybe the M&B if that goes up again. need to try the demo, first.

So far for me:

ME2 $10
Deathspank: $7.40
Darksiders: $10.
King's Bounty Plat: $14.

What awesome restraint! 🙂 may pick up an indie pack before it's all said and done. I downloaded the demo of Diamond Dan, as that looked pretty cool.

Same, I've never played any Doom games and I only played Quake 4 (plus the online one, whatever that was called).

haha. I've never played Quake, either. And maybe only a few minutes of Doom back when it was newish. Never really cared for that stuff.
 
Yeah I've been gaming on the PC since 1994. Dialup BBS playing Doom 2. Fun times. Can't imagine someone going through the 90's PC gaming, especially shooters, and not playing any iD games.
 
Be warned, the first 2 Brothers in Arms games (EIB and RTH30) don't work on Vista or Win7 at all because of their Starforce DRM. The third game, Hell's Highway, works OK.

I don't have any experience with any of the games, but found the above on the Steam forums.

[EDIT] My mistake. Both games appear to work fine in Vista and Win7. See post by heat901 below for updated information and a link.

If I can find it in my pile of "discarded because I hated _____ about it" games, it's yours for a SASE envelope large enough to hold it. (Dead Space that is, couldn't stand the over-the-shoulder perspective.)
