Christmas money didn't arrive in time for some of the deals I wanted, so hopefully there will be more repeats. But I managed to snag Lara Croft for $5.10. From the promos I wrote it off as a Diablo clone, but it's gotten a lot of positive reactions here and in the press so I'm giving it a shot.

Do you mean the graphics card? If so, then:
You Have: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x9480)
Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card
You Have
Video RAM 3.2 GB
Hardware T&L Yes
Pixel Shader version 4.0
Vertex Shader version 4.0
EDIT: I think I might pass. It probably won't run well on my laptop, and God knows I have plenty of games to play. Maybe it'll be on sale for even cheaper whenever I have mine own PC.

Ohhh, I didn't even realize until I hit this thread that the indie deal of the day was not a repeat like all the main deals. I've been interested in AI War for a bit, but I was afraid to pick it up for a higher price as I'm not sure if I want it or not. $3 is a perfect price for me so I'm nabbing it.

Are you asking about burnout and batman or saying games like burnout and batman? Because those 2 were already on sale.
And aren't that old. I mean, when I heard "Oldish", I think of stuff like Onimusha 3

And god willing never will.TheExodu5 said:
hmmm...not really interested in those (already have Stalker/MirrorEdge/Orange Box/Max Payne) missed out o the GTA franchise altogether but heard GTA4 needs some serious hardawre (currently have 2GB, 2.66 Duo, 8800)YYZ said:
maybe I will pick up Darksiders
EDIT: Shit Darksiders or RE5?
DBLEDIT: Does RE5 PC have local MP?
I can't believe I never gave Red Faction: Guerrilla a chance. I love the destruction in that game, and it handles really, really well. I don't see it holding my attention for hours in a roll, but it's definitely a good game that I'll try put some good time into.
So far for me though...
ARMA 2 (Pretty cool)
Battlefield 2
Monkey Island Pack (First time ever playing them, enjoying so far.)
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Super Meat Boy (looooove it)
Overlord Pack (Meh)

Lara Croft is probably better off with a controller just for movement. That was the vibe I got from the demo at least. Still totally playable, but it'd probably be smoother with a controller.-Eddman- said:Just bought Darksiders and Lara Croft (the isometric one). Are these fine with mouse and keyboard? Are they better with a controller? Anyway, I spend just $15 on them. Steam is my new god

It works really well with WASD and a mouse.
I'd assume Darksiders would be fine, too.

It's the only game in my Wishlist that doesn't have ANY DISCOUNT WHATSOEVER from its normal Steam price - screw it. I want to play it, but it doesn't deserve to be bought during the Steam Holiday Sale if it's not actually, you know, ON SALE!!
I still say the pricing is still part of Valve's ongoing sabotaging of that game since it beat Half-Life 2 out as the first Source game to come to market.
I jest
well . . .
about the last part anyway, the first part about the sale price stands

You get much higher accuracy in the platforming in Lara Croft with the controller, not to say it's not playable with kb+m.

Honestly though, I thought it was just an error with the Steam client's programming the first time I saw that, but compressed files means conserving bandwidth on their end too, so that's the most likely answer.

I really don't know if I should skip Darksiders...The game sounds great and all, but I only have $15 left in paypal account, and if I buy it I will decrease my chances to buy other great games.
Worth the $10 if I only have 15? Can't decide.

Just got Super meat boy for this sale.
I also played Defense Grid at work and it is amazing. The music is great, the enemies are boss and the gameplay is not too hard and rewarding. This might have been one of the best deals in this steam holiday.
wow

I would say no and just get BFBC2. But I am not a fan of Call of Duty or spending more than 20 USD on games.Antiochus said:
