Is the Fallout 3 game of the year a good deal? Never played Fallout, but I must confess that I do want to know. Still 33% off is kinda low.

I've played Sands of Time and the Cel-Shaded 'reboot' game. What's the best game out of
-Warrior Within
-2 Thrones
-Forgotten Sands
Click to expand...

I think Two Thrones is really great. It retroactively makes a lot of the Angry Hardcore Prince stuff in Warrior Within okay. Just read the WW story on Wikipedia and you'll be set up perfectly for TT.

Sands of Time is still by far the best one though.

Until Civ 5 drops in price, is it worth rebuying Civ 4 with all the expansions for £3.74?

Man, I should have saved up for this thing though. The 2K pack is an insane deal, just $20 more than I've paid for ONE of those games.

Goddamn.

Is no-one posting the US prices for the daily deals (or packs for that matter) so us Australians know how much we're getting bent over? :lol

Note: Did it via paypal and failed.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Well even though I HATE (not used to) using a KB/Mouse for shooters I've gone ahead double dipped on my GOTY, BFBC 2 on PC.

For $6.79 I can't pass that up. Hopefully this game will help me get used to using a KB/Mouse for PC, I usually use my 360 controller.

About the Oddboxx, is Munch's Oddysee any good? I tried Abe's Oddysee another time and I didn't care for it, so I'm really only interested in Stranger's Wrath otherwise.

Aaaah my entire wishlist is on sale (pretty much)... if I bought everything on my wishlist that's on sale, I'd be spending $102.54, and there's no way I'm spending that much. I just bought Flight Control HD yesterday, too, for the treasure hunt, so I don't really want to be buying more stuff. It's just so tempting though... The item highest on my wishlist that's on sale is Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and the item whose sale has made it the cheapest is Toki Tori, which now costs $1.25.
Edit: just added Puzzle Dimension to my wishlist. It is now the item on my wishlist that's the greatest percentage off at 88% off.

First day of Steam Holiday sales are like Black Friday.

(unknown error).-118 is the equivalent of getting trampled in a mad rush when the doors open.

Never played Crysis and now have a rig that can run it... $29.99 sounds good for Crysis + Crysis Warhead, but I don't know... I could hold out for cheaper, or I could play them TONIGHT...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Pro Tip: If a game is onsale but it is NOT a daily deal and you aren't gonna play it right away I'd wait. Last year a shit ton of stuff on sale hit the daily deals with an even bigger sale.

I can't tell you how many people were like dang I just bought this game for half off at $10 yesterday and now it's $5 on a daily deal.

My current hard-drive is full, how do I change my future steam installs to another hard-drive?
Click to expand...

Just go to preferences or whatever and change the Install directory.

And you can always just delete some stuff since it's Steam and you can download and install stuff as many times as you like.

Should I wait for an Batman AA deal or just go with the current $15 its at now?

I'd wait, it was even cheaper than that just during the Thanksgiving sale. I would be shocked if there isn't a daily deal for it at some point.

I think those two games were like 12 dollars last year as a Daily Deal. I'd wait.

So far Ive bought Meat Boy and Shattered Union, I own a significant number of the other indi and super cheap games so not much temptation there. Waiting to see the fixed price for the Prince of Persia pack, might bite on that for a good price or just on Sands of Time alone.

Ooof, want to buy FEAR (again) but I figure a pack with F3AR will come next year. :lol

That gives me more incentive to buy the pack this year because I'm not paying for anything that uses numbers as letters.
