Its only the first few levels. It should go by fast.
can only buy through bioware store with bioware points.
Probably, but I think it's an awful game, if I can avoid a few levels, I'd rather.

If it doesn't end by time I get money in the bank today, I think I'll grab that and then Arcanum and Master of Orion 1+2 at GOG and call it a season, unless I get Christmas cash, of course. That will wrap up a perfectly satisfying haul for the sale and still leave some just in case Alice or Sonic go 75% off.
Guess no DLC for me
It's like another £15 for Overlord, Kasumi and Shadow Broker. But the DLC was one of my favourite parts of ME2 on console, so I may just have to buy them..

I know what you mean. So many good 2-5$ games, so little time.
Beyond Good and Evil can't be activated on Steam? Ah well, can't beat 3 bucks.
I would like to know that too. I'm at work without Steam access.

Doesn't look like it. Usually when a game is activatable on steam, there is a CD key they give.

Awww man
I like to have all my games under one place. Well..

Keep crashing on startup for me.
Fuck it, no coal is worth suffering through this shitty game.
I hate it, too, and it only took me about a half hour.
I've had that game for a little over a year and it never really clicked with me. I thought I just wasn't in the mood for that type of game -- the idea did, and still does, seem intriguing.
But after the achievement hunting forced me to actually sit down and play it, I can definitively say that I hate it, especially the Thief's completely random hookshot -- I can't tell you how many times I'd watch that rope shoot right through some surface -- one that I had just been using -- and plummet to my death. It was like Spider-man's nightmare.

Because you are surfing the internet.
Surfing gaf eats up roughly 1000 kb/s from my otherwise 1,5mb/s steam download speed?
Damn... them avatars.
Oh..oooooh.... awww
I ruined it. Anyways, I fixed it. Simply went into download settings and chose another server to download from.
Much more stable now.
Shame on you Denmark server, shame! You should learn a thing or two from Sweden.

Every time I have tried to switch the servers around it just seems to make my download speeds worse. Oh well I can live with my measly 600K haha
Amazing game with a shoddy PC port.
All great games, go for it.
Speed doesn't really bother me if the download resume and pausing is seamless and pain-free, which it is with steam, but those up and down speeds are annoying.

I gave up with Rise of Immortals when it crashed in the Tutorial.

So I've bought Deus Ex from amazon, I was expecting a steam code but it's asking me to download some sort of downloader?? :/ I originally bought this to gift, os I don't wanna screw it or something. When exactly do I receive the code?
click on your digital items top right, then pc games or something.

Mass Effect 2 - Hell yes.
Limbo - Unique game, not everyone will be blown away. You won't feel cheated. You are warned if DoF effects bother you (I personally like things in focus)
Blur - Rubberband AI and soon-to-be-dead-again online, but if you can have racing fun with that, go ahead.
I'd skip limbo, starts off well but the puzzles aren't that interesting and the OMGATMOSPHERE is overrated. It'll also only last around 2 hours or less if you're not stupid.

Found it, thanks. Is there another code for the DLC?

Is there any chance that a past daily deal will be at the same price again before the end of this sale?
Yeah, I've done it now.
It's funny, we all end up hoarding these games, it's nice that Valve actually give us a reason to try them. Unfortunately I've found out I dislike more of my games than I imagined, but I've found some cool stuff I might have never got around to playing too, so it's been a mixed bag.
Unless I buy new games, there's only one game left I need to tackle before two I have that are date specific (AaaaaAAaaa and Costume Quest), Revenge of the Titans, which I'm sure I'll struggle with, ironically I believe it has the most of any single game too.
That always happens doesn't it? The last day is a best of sort of thing.

If you haven't bought it yet than I think that's a pretty comparable deal as well.

Thank you. Didn't know that, my first steam sale.

It has an achievement. Can't be claimed yet, though.
Can it be activated on Steam?
