It's $13 right now but will probably see a lower price. You might want to think about holding out for the GTA4: Complete edition that comes with the Episodes from Liberty City. It's 16 GB's smaller than GTA4 + the episodes.

I always thought there was something sinister about Peggle. All the animals and environments are all too happy, it's really weird. Like, the animals are probably murdering people behind the scenes.

If I get Mass Effect 2 on Steam, does all the DLC comes for free?

EDIT: seems like it doesn't, well I guess I should just get some future GOTY Edition or the PS3 version with the improved engine

So, just to be clear, this is the only day (as far as we know) that the Popcap games will be on sale?

It's too bad cause I need my Peggle fix now that my 360 is gone, and I still haven't played Plants vs. Zombies ($6.99 right now), but I can't get it before today's deals run out.

oh well, it's not like I don't already have 18 games and counting to play when I get my PC :D

No. Only the daily deal only applies to the peggle pack. The other popcap games will be on sale for the next 11 days and most likely some of them will be part of other daily deals.

I'd be more concerned about Ubi-DRM than the quality of the port.

I can't comment on the most recent one but POP 2008 has no drm

It also runs and looks great on my lower end machine (which is currently running just cause 2 on low in 800x600)

All paid DLC has to come from the Bioware store.
Click to expand...

In the bioware site it says that if I get a physical or digital copy, I get access to the cerberus network when I can get some DLC for free, but there also seems to be some paid DLC (for example Lair of the shadow broker which seems really interesting) even if you have access to the cerberus network, Am I right?

Or just buy the Rockstar collection. $39.99 for every Rockstar collection on Steam. That is every GTA ever made. Plus Bully, Max Payne 1 & 2,

Thanks, boss. Looks like I'll get the Peggles and PvZ this weekend, along with any other hot deals that are relevant to my interests.

I'm starting to feel like a hoarder.

I'm thinking about picking up Elven Legacy bundle and Fantasy Wars.

Has anyone here played those games?

Quite good if you are into full blown tactical games. They play very similarly to the oldschool SSI "General" series (Fantasy General, Panzer General etc...).

Wow for $0.50, Winterbottom is really good.

I never knew 2K Games had a China division.

If you liked Braid, you will like this game.

My haul for today:

Indie Kids Pack
FEAR Complete Pack (NA)
Winterbottom
OddBoxx
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Standard Edition
The Deus Ex Collection
Peggle Complete Pack
Super Meat Boy

I've spent $50 already and there are a plethora of games that I still want to get. :(
Prior to today, I owned (according to Steam) 134 games. We'll see how much that increases by the end of this sale.

I was tempted to get LEGO Batman but I already have it on my PS3, Wii and DS. I didn't want to quadruple dip. :lol

Well, went with Super Meat Boy & the Oddbox. Skipped on F1 on the ridiculous notion I may win a treasure hunt prize. Also, why are people buying things that aren't daily deals? Those get cheaper sometimes unless they pull it like Prey last year.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
FEAR 2 is mad broken for me. Game refuses to load the second map, and now when I try to load my last save from the first one it doesn't work...

Nice.

I've been playing Winterbottom with a Xbox 360 controller. Somehow the game forgets to visually map the controls so I had to guess what action did what.

For reference:

Joystick = Move
A = Jump
X = Swing Umbrella
Y = Delete previously created clone
Right Trigger = Record clone macro

Who else is playing this game?

Today's damage is only $7.28.

P.B Winterbottom

It's too bad Valve doesn't give you the ability to mix and match Indie games from the packs on sale. They would sell so many more of those games.

If you didn't like Braid, you will still like this game IMO.

Well, it doesn't look like Fallout 3 will go on a bigger sale this time around. Here's hoping one of the Elder Scrolls IV goes for $10 or less.

It depends if you like trial and error platformer games, so Braid I think is a good marker.

Wait, wait. P.B. Winterbottom is about trial and error? Dammit Kirby, you lied to me you bastard!

Unfortunately, I can't run P.B. Winterbottom. If I click on play, it says it's launching but then I just hear a chime (one of the error chimes) and nothing happens.

I guess I just gotta be patient.

It's probably some combination of:

First Steam sale
Not reading the OP
Not caring/Want to play right now

I'm personally looking forward to all the "I just bought _____ yesterday for $30 and now Steam is selling it for $5! SCREW YOU VALVE!" posts.

Braid was hardly trial and error.
