The story is decent to the end, I put the game on easy halfway through though because the combat is tedious. And the graphics are frontloaded too, the latter half

I didn't releize the sale was ending so soon! I quickly grabbed Sleeping dogs because I have to see what it looks like on the PC. I also grabed They Bleed Pixels because I had a couple of dollars in my steam wallet. I still migh t go and grab Val helsing, even though I hear your appearnce doesnt change. That kinda takes away from a loot based game, I think
Nice! That's the one. Thanks!

Yeah, Vampire Bloodlines is one of my favourite games of ever, and a lot of that is with the Deus Ex lite feel of the game. While Deus Ex isn't much on dialogue and more on interesting mission options and character builds, Vampire sways into the opposite where a lot of the exploration and mechanical nitty gritty is passable but what you really want to bite into are the character interactions. The atmosphere is top notch, I just love roaming around downtown at night, lurking the convenience store, weirding out a bunch of strangers, then returning to my shitty mess of an apartment; then I load up Bloodlines and do the same thing.
Music's just great to have in the background at any given moment as well.

I wish Steam had some feature that told me whether or not my computer could actually run these games. It is beyond annoying having to look and see what the minimum requirements are, then look up what my system is, then look up whether or not that means I can play it.
PC gaming has a very high learning curve for sure.
Thinking about picking up Typing of the Dead. Is it fun? If my rig can run L4D, F.E.A.R(1) or KOTOR on pretty much minimum, can I play TotD?

i was browsing the list on steam and they have castlevania up for 15
Yeah, it'd be great if Steam had an integrated Can You Run It sort of feature. It's really hard to figure out what is better than what, especially in regards to CPUs and graphics cards.
It's strange, of all games I've downloaded today, Darksiders is the only one that has issues. When I launch the game, the screen gets totally black (there is sound, though) and after a second or two I am sent back the desktop. I keep clicking on the icon on the Windows bar to restore the window but the problem sticks.
Anyone had a similar problem before ?

same here... anyone? Game looks really good, strange that there don't seem to be many that tried it.
You can buy a pre-order key through a Hookups seller for $10, but you'll likely be waiting a few days. Wait time aside, I encountered no issues buying DMC and Dead Island: Riptide through him.

Nah this sale has been great for you buddy.
. I don't think Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a halloween game though, the pressure is way more intense. It's like freddy krueger, jason and a bunch of other horror spookies got together to pound you into paste with food orders.I think Saw is only purchasable in certain regions (looks like only US and Brazil right now, but I could be wrong).
Dementium II HD looks good but it's published by Digital Tribe, so expect it to be indie bundled fairly quickly (like all of the other Digital Tribe games on steam).
Yeah, purchase options were removed from the PAL Land sub a couple of days ago. The US sub is still available, but there were reports earlier that Valve had ran out of keys (which is probably why it's not available to buy in Australia/Europe).
FloatingDivider

Yep, still can't purchase Saw in Europe which is good because I have no money for it.
The weird thing is, only the UK tagged version is available to buy right now.. but you can't buy it if you're in the UK lol.
I'm in the US and the version I bought using my account says UK.
Huh, odd. This is the proper US sub:
But it seems 15 hours ago Konami re-appropriated the UK sub for use in America:
Apparently, to get around the US sub running out of keys, Konami began using the UK sub in its stead... but this raises the question of why, exactly, the purchase options were removed from it a couple of days ago.
U should add me on Steam, Kenka! Name is Blablurn
I've added you now ! Thanks for the invite.
I don't play FM though

I know. I haven't even seen the movies, but for some reason I was keen to buy it and give it a go.
Hopefully they don't fix it before the end of the sale :|

Scratches is so so. Good atmosphere, goes nowhere.
You may just love don't starve. It is well supported, a huge time sync and well worth the price. You'll get many hours out of just trying to survive.

i'm gonna end up getting Don't Starve and Primordia. Wanted these for a while and Primordia was so cheap couldn't pass it up!Went with Condemned and Blood Omen 2. I know BO2 gets a bad rap but I was curious and I already had the three previous LOK games so...
Alot of good stuff there. Interested in Giana, Shadowman, They Bleed Pixels, and Super House of Dead Ninjas. Will pick up later though. Good thing Steam has sales often.

Pretty sure they removed the DRM when they did the big update that removed GFWL.
It was patched out along with GFWL when the game moved to Steamworks.
I obviously had to get that game.

Wait a second, Deus Ex HR director's cut is 60% off? It was released last week... Damn, Gabe, you not messing around.
Yep

If people haven't played "scratches" get that. It's awesome
Well, the game itself is two years old and Squeenix pulled the original version.
Sweet thanks. I've been interested in this game since it was released. Controller support + Steamcloud for 5 bucks only makes it even sweeter

Anyone find it funny the Dead Space pack actually costs $0.01 MORE than buying them individually?

Dunno if this is the place to ask/talk about this but;
So I'm trying to play Condemned now, and it keeps black screening whenever I change any settings at all. Does anyone know what this is?
