Steam Holiday Sale 2010 - IT'S STARTED!!!!1!

[Crux]

They had The Witcher up for €0.99 for a little bit (94% discount). Now it went back to €3.99 like it was last time. I already thought it was weird to do a second chance sale for less than the original sale price.

They were giving themselves a second chance to make more money per copy.

Flatout 1 was crossplatform with the Xbox, whereas 2 was exclusive to the PC. That allowed Bugbear to update it with  quite a few things beyond the capabilities of the Xbox - graphics are quite a bit better. 

excuse the correction, but the first two FlatOuts *were* available on PS2 and Xbox.

[CeeKay]

c'mon good sale day!  daddy needs a new game!

[Gratch]

Mirror's Edge is tempting...'meh' otherwise.

[CeeKay]

Nverwinter Nights 2?  on Steam?  a moment ago it said not available in my region, now it's available.

[PR_GMR]

Nothing that catches my fancy..

Mirror's Edge
Machinarium
Victoria II
SW: Knights Of The Old Republic
EVE Online: Incursion
Serious Sam HD Gold edition
Cities XL 2011
Hawkx 2
Killing Floor


I love city builders.. but 20 bucks for Cities XL is still too much.

[PR_GMR]

Nverwinter Nights 2?  on Steam?  a moment ago it said not available in my region, now it's available.

Yep, it said the same thing for me.. but right now they changed it. Still, I hardly played the first one, so I'm gonna take a pass.

[Moliere]

This

[CeeKay]

definitely grabbing NWN2 if it's still up later.  funny thing is I was going through my game DVD wallet last night lamenting Steam didn't have it.

[CeeKay]

Mirror's Edge is tempting...'meh' otherwise.

I found it fun; I played it on easy because combat got annoying on regular, but the running bits were a blast.

[Zarkon]

Nothing for me today.

now it's back to 'not available'.  oh, wait, now it is available again.  WTF Steam?

[mirage775]

I might get a couple today, dunno yet...?

Does anyone have any opinions on cities xl 2011?  Looks like it could be fun

NWN2 has my interest today. I can't get an unbiased review from Ceekay on this one -  Anyone else?

I was a huge fan of the original, but NWN2 never grabbed me for some reason.  Started it three times, and each time I simply got bored about 4-5 hours in and quit.  The game engine is fine and it plays well, the campaign was simply...dull. 

I'd actually like to give it another go sometime (I've heard it picks up after the 6 hour mark), but the thought of playing through those first 4-5 hours for a 4th time is a dealbreaker.

[The Grue]

I picked up NWN2.

[earicci]

I picked up NWN2.

I pulled the trigger on this one too.

I thought the same.  I dunno though....

[shon]

Picked up Machinarium and NWN 2.  I bought NWN2 on Direct 2 drive awhile back but never played it but it didn't have the expansions.  I think I've bought something everyday and sometimes games that I have on the
consoles.   Help me.....

oh dear, you aren't a testicular torture lover, are you?  damn, I should have looked to see if Zeke started a thread asking if those type of people were easily offended, and depending on the result may have not posted that comment.   I deeply apologize to you and your well beaten balls, and in an attempt at reconciliation offer you this coupon good for one free showing of Madame SwiftKick presents The Nutcracker.

[Daehawk]

I'm not sure I finished NWN2. I know I played it. I finished the first game too. Did NWN2 have an ad on where you started in a cave then went to a town and had to help defend it against animals? If so I finished the game but not that ad on. I don't think I finished NWN2 though, argh.

I am definitely buying KOTOR for less than $3 wow. Saves me having to bother with disks and patches this way.  

EDIT..DOH!!! It's a good thing Steam tells me I already own something and wont let me buy it again for myself. Didn't realize I own KOTOR on Steam lol.

I may grab machinarium as well.

[Tokek]

Contemplating on getting Cities XL 2011. At $20 it's an "I'll think about it", if it was $10 or lower then it would've been an instant buy for me.

Agreed. I went to click it and then noticed the price and skipped it.

Sometimes, they feel like Daniel Craigs' balls, at the end of Casino Royale....

It was an interesting game!  I beat it about a year ago and never played it again, lol.

[Gratch]

Someone over at OO mentioned that Hinterland was only $2.50.  I've always wanted to give that one a try, and it has tempted me at $10-15 before.  For $2.50?  Sold!

[TradeAble]

any1 ever play power of defense?  no demo but its on sale for $2.50.

Not yet, but I bought it.  If it's anything like Defense Grid, I'll love it!

[TradeAble]

I loved defense grid.  Let me know if its worth picking up.

[mirage775]

I loved defense grid.  Let me know if its worth picking up.

It's sorta meh, nothing like Defense Grid.  You build robots and fight other robots.  You have to upgrade them and what really sucks is you start out with 0 money and the pc starts off with thousands...  Kinda lame

Well why don't you try it and let me know

I think I'll settle for Simcity 4 instead.

[Gratch]

Woo hoo...Doom Complete for $8.74.  My patience paid off, and now I can finally give The Dark Mod a try.

Also in for SimCity 4 for $5 (bought this ages ago when it first came out, but my system wouldn't run it.  been wanting to try it again ever since.) and probably Rush for $1.69.

[PR_GMR]

Thankfully.. no big temptations for me today! Maybe 'Crysis', but I heard the tech requirements of that high are so high, I might not wanna bother with it for that reason.

[shon]

First day I didn't buy anything.
