Wow thats uh something then. I used steam money to buy stuff in the game. Card money to buy a fancy helmet in PS2.
Price of individual games: 18,94
Bundle cost: 92.99
That's not how bundle savings work, Humongous.

Maybe its because I was out of the country and away from technology from 97-99, but I don't remember these games
Early Access; 15% off ($29.74) for the next week.
Aha! A golf game, perfect timing, they must have seen my post the other day.

I think it includes the games not added to the store yet as well.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yeah, which is why the bundles aren't discounted -- the games are being released in batches two weeks apart and the early bird discounts only last a week. Said discounts are tempting but I think I'll just wait for the Summer Sale and buy the all-inclusive pack.
Yeah, that's what I was expecting... but that's not how you get people to actually pay for your bundle
Guess they can't put bundles in bundles?

also which bioshock is best ?
Actually, I'd feel even more uncomfortable paying a computer game more than 20 bucks.
Mine was just the usual and obligatory rant about currency conversion screwing us second-world countries embedded together with first-world ones.
Hahaha yeah I'm kind of with you on that. It has to be something I'm super interested in to pay for a full priced game on launch. Late ports have been the few exceptions for me due to lower pricing. UK retail has always outstripped Steam on price so it's nothing new and even better when you factor in Steamworks.
Though on a more serious note pricing is only going to get more skewed in favour towards NA as wells as RU+CIS and Brazil (maybe others when Valve rolls out more local currencies). Over the last 6 months the $ to €/£ conversion has been on the downward spiral. Publishers on Steam are only just starting to catch up but as I said earlier NA prices has stayed level or come down whilst ours are going slowly up. Factor in the new EU inter state VAT directive in Jan next year sales might be the only time worth purchasing now to get the best bang for your buck (or euro
).Freedom = $1.05

Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den. It is Bioshock distilled into a pure perfect 4-5ish hour experience with the best writing you will find in the series.
GMG now has Wolf14 available for pre-purchase. O3H7FE-D4NFO0-F0LIGK knocks off 20% ($60 -> $48) and in lieu of TF2 items you receive a Steam key for RTCW... but only when Wolf14 keys go out, which is odd.
(Thanks to spin for the heads-up.)

Oh I want to, I want to.
I still don't know why this
isn't included in the release list. I'd better keep it safe, just in case its value goes up a lot in the future.
I'm tempted but considering there are no pre-existing courses I think I'll hold off until there's more content.
Edit: Oh, wait, apparently you can generate courses with just a few clicks. I might dive in after all.
Still need someone?

If you're not going to immediately play it, just wait. It'll be $5 before the year is over.

wait, the Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a Steam key? Is this confirmed?
EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot - I thought it was the Wolfenstein that was removed from Steam.
Yep!
The page for RTCW says it requires Steam so most likely.
I'm in! When/if we have our 4 lemme know!
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Just to make sure there's no excitement here: Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the early-2000s Wolfenstein game that's still on Steam, not the late-2000s Wolfenstein game that got pulled.

Yeah just noticed that and edited my post. Hopes... deleted.
If Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein every turned up on Steam (or more likely GOG) I'd snap them up like a shot. Can remember playing them close to 30 years ago on a friends' dad's incredibly old for the time PC. Might be a bit too dated for today's market though.
Enemy Territory back in the day was the only thing keeping me away from Champ Man.

Oh well, let's hope that someday Valve will notice that inside EU2 there are countries constantly on the verge of defaulting (like, for example... Italy...
), so at least they could bring us in a new shiny EU3, giving us the RU/CIS prices that we deserve.Also, all you brits are rich as hell so you aren't allowed to whine for USD/GBP conversions shenanigans. k thx
It's 100% stand alone? Steam doesn't have OSX B2 but the Mac store does... Always wanted to play MD so I may finally bite.
This is the team went on to make Gone Home, right?
DAT small capital B
Requires Bioshock 2 in order to play.
I assume you'll be able to buy the game for $5 in the summer sale. That price is faaaaalling.

It was indeed. I must have spent thousands of hours playing the multiplayer on LAN. Used to skip classes to go play it with friends.
The price of Thief has been in free fall since it was available for pre-order. No sense in buying before it hits the bottom.
That's how Squeenix rolls.

Oh, you mean the world class multi-player, revolutionary for its time, all-time great, one of the finest examples of gaming that will ever be made, a true masterpiece, game that might never be matched until the day I die piece of art RTCW? That one.
Hell man, Steam game collecting is becoming like baseball card collecting in the early 90s. Everyone chasing the Billy Ripkin error cards while ignoring the hall of famers. I miss when we played games and not just collected them.
My backlog calls me a hypocrite by the way.

I didn't even know that one got pulled. I was looking forward to buying it on steam after having finished it years ago on the ps3. Damn, that blows.
That game deserved better. Raven's last gen fps output was pretty decent before they got put on cod map pack grunt work : /
