so if you don't already own fallout and fallout 2, you can do so for less than eight bucks.

Well, now that I finally have XP running, may as well check out Fallout.

Which would be better for me Mike, part 1 or 2?

the first is best by far. and more concise.

steam is also having mondo crazy sales. gta4 for seven bucks. stalker for 2.50!

Thanx for pointing out Steam sale dhex

This is what I got:
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl 
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky (ROW) - who knows I might try it out before new installment comes out
Lucasarts Adventure Bundle - now I won't be feeling guilty playing these games on Scumm
Audiosurf
Machinarium - I want to see those guys making more games
Mount and Blade

And I made some purchases on GoG too, mostly ancient westerns RPG's and Freespace 1 + 2

i got audiosurf, zombie shooter 2, gta4 and thief.

and i picked up divine divinity from gog for a few bucks but so far i hate the interface. supposedly it's the best quest design in a roguelike ever but who knows...

I'm curious to know what you guys think of Audiosurf, aka the most overrated indie game in the recent memory, or at least the one I simply cannot understand how everyone doesn't immediately go "seriously?" after ten seconds.

it's cute-ish enough. it works better with some music (mostly mid tempo) than others, and requires a lot of tweaking.

plus, 2.50.

besides, most overrated indie game in recent memory was braid. :)

Speaking of crazy sales I picked up new copy of Valkyria Chronicles for 20$ at Gamestop today.

EDIT:

I found this spreadsheet (https://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=0AphkHirrd2S1dGVOLXhPei1CSlpyeGsxUVdkSTMxZGc&amp%3Bhl=en) with Steam Holiday Sales.

At least Braid actually does something somewhat interesting, and correctly. Driving while playing Tetris that supposedly dependent on the music, but not really, is just "eh" in my book. But there are worse ways to spend $2.50, that's for sure.


New or used? Cuz if new, shit, I'll buy.

New, just like I said above ;) ($21.5 with tax).

ehhhhhhh, such are the vicissitudes of taste.

i love the artwork. i really do. i would hire david to do the backgrounds and models for a 2.5 iso rpg in a heartbeat, were i so unattached to 100k as to want to develop one.

My brother and I both picked up GTAIV on Steam. I brought the 360 version home with me and he thought it was pretty cool and we're both pretty psyched about seeing it run with better graphics.

dunno if anyone mentioned this, but Samorost 2 and Machinarium (by Amanita Design) are onsale together for $10.

since it's the "xmas pack," who knows how long that deal will last.

if you enjoy beautiful-looking point and click adventure games, i really recommend you pick these up.

up on steam: crysis and warhead for 13 bucks. half life source for 2.50. sf4 for 10 bucks.

psychonauts is 2 bucks on steam for a few more hours. i never got into the console version, but 2 bucks is 2 bucks.

also put the whole arcanum is on gog thing in the wrong thread but yeah arcanum on gog. (confession: i like bloodlines better in a lot of ways)

2 bucks is 2 bucks, which is why I wouldn't buy it. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, but don't get too hyped up about it. Judging from the sort of stuff you go for, I wouldn't count on you liking it.

xcom collection = 2 bucks!

freedom force collection = 2 bucks!

they must approach publishers and say "you can move x amount of [virtual] units in 48 hours" where x is a significant portion of their yearly projected sales.

if you like top down alien breed style shooters, this 5 buck combo may be worth your time:

I've never seen this store before, but someone linked me to this:
http://www.gogamer.com/Just-Cause-2-for-PC-48-Hour-Madness-_stcVVproductId98204226VVcatId551271VVviewprod.htm

Just Cause 2 for PC - $35.

Just Cause 2 for $32 on newegg.com:

DO IT!

i would but it's vista only. :(

Vista or Windows 7 (which is a pretty sweet OS).

7 would be even more awesome if all the loli-molestation games I specifically got Windows on my Mac for would work properly.

Speaking of, since you have the proper OS, Mike, wanna help review a few for me? My cup runneth over.

my soundcard isn't supported in 7 or vista, so no dice.

i don't think i'd be a very good reviewer for any dating sim, rapey or otherwise.

Hence why you'd be the perfect person!

Just Cause 2 is currently 50% off on Steam. (today only)

And Portal is 90% off if you missed it for free.

lots of good steam sales. picked up a bunch of stuff for relatively small amounts of dosh.

broke down and bought mass effect 2 for 20 bucks as well. alpha protocol has ruined the bioware formula by doing it far better and less wonky, but dang if they didn't get the combat good.

yeah, even if the writing and roleplaying is pretty shallow I'll be damned if the combat in ME2 isn't pretty fun. I never played the original but I think it's the polish that's keeping me around.
