Yeah it will still hold up well. It is very easy to mod (DA2 not so much), just head over to the dragon age nexus, grab the mod manager and away you go.
But everyone and their mother has it already

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I had a dream KOF went on a flash sale...woke up disappointed.

Why is RE6 still 15 on Steam when on GMG its 5? Ergo don't want to register on another site
It's worth it to. GMG has some of the best sales.
Hell a lot of times better than Steam puts out especially in Europe.
Hnnnnggg, I really don't want to register, I have already to many sites to keep track on, even with a peace of paper :/

I've picked up and played a few games this sale, but I'm pretty high on Nihilumbra at the moment (grab it from GMG).
It is a puzzle platformer with a lot of style, great music and some interesting puzzles as you use your different powers. If nothing else, sliding along while creating ice underneath yourself is great fun.
It is a little heavy on the drama (you are a "thing" trying to escape the void which is trying to reclaim you) but it all comes together well enough for me to keep it interesting.

If only they worked on Windows 8... there's ton of posts on forums about some of the games crashing a lot.
May noty all work flawlessly on Windows 8. Windows 7 should not be a problem for most games. Some of the very old games may require compatibility programs.

Browsing through the Greenmangaming cheap games is frustrating. So many great titles like Blaster Simulator, Snowcat Simulator, Woodcutter Simulator (not the 2013 one), Airport Control Simulator, Airport Simulator, Bungee Jumping Simulator, Bus Simulator 2, Heavyweight Transport Simulator, Mining & Tunnelling Simulator, Rail Cargo Simulator, Road Works Simulator, Towing Simulator all for under 2,5 each. I'd buy those if they'd activate on steam. We need more simulators to steam. Steam sale simulator 2014 would be a hit I'd think
If you don't have a great taste in games like me, there's also these deals that might interest you (price may vary depending where you live):
Devil May Cry 4 - 2,49 (2 with the voucher GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49, applies to all games)
Hitman: Codename 47 - 1,74
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin - 1,74
Hitman: Blood Money - 2,24

The west wood games work just fine for me in Windows 8.
Which are the only ones worth playing anyway.

I'm sure EA will get right on that next year, after it announces that it doesn't wish to be crowned the world company in America yet again.

Tomb Raider is definitely worth it at that price.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.
Just finished DuckTales Remastered fellow GAFfers:
I would like to say that, from all kinds of games and from all the genres, Platforming is by far where my gaming skills are the worst. The easiest thing like do a jump and land on a cube or manage to jump above an enemy to avoid him it's something that for some reason I'm horrible at it, yet Checkpoints are kind in this game.
The Art, when comparing to other titles could have been more detailed to have that true HD feeling, this was something that many people were expecting more and I can see why but it's no deal-breaker.
For some people, it's going to be nice revisiting this game or just get some nostalgia from the Characters you will find through the game. When I was younger I used to read all the comics and for curiosity sake I tried to switch subtitles to my own language and was happy to see that the translation from the characters names were the exact same ones I grow up reading about.
The game can be a bit short but I believe that increasing the difficulty can give you a more fierce competition. The Last Boss was a bit troubling for me because timing and jumping is, like I said, something I'm not good at. Later on I managed to complete it.
If you like Conceptual Art, draws and similar Art you will find a decent amount of it in this game, yet you have to buy which means you might need to replay some levels a couple of times or you need to collect everything as you progress the game (and still, it wouldn't probably suffice).
The music is still a classic, as expected. You can Karaoke it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egk8IusIzdI
QUACK

Buying an SSD just to put games on? Not worth it. The gain with SSD in most games aren't that big. Sure some games do load way faster, but most games already load really fast on a standard 7200RPM drive. Buying a 32GB to have Windows on too? Completely out of the question. 64GB is doable but not something I would recommend. 120GB is the minimum for SSD really.
Ditto. My 60GB SSD replaced a 20GB partition and today it has just 5.4GB free. At some point after the Winter Sale I'll buy a 128GB drive and use the 60GB to store the game/s I'm currently playing.
I struggle with 256GB with windows and necessary software. Wish 512 was affordable enough.
Don't forget to use the code GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49 for another 20% off.
You never know what you may find!
I just need Spelunky and Brothers as daily's, which I think will happen especially since they were both super cheap on the XBL sale. Those are pretty much the only games I want now with this sale, other than Morrowind, which I will never buy unless it gets to 5 bucks (I'm sure totally sold more than 50 copies of that 12 year old game that you somehow charge 19.99 for in the last month Bethesda, no reason to ever give a decent discount to a 12 year old game that looks like graphical garbage by todays standards).

Those who are thinking to get Oblivion GOTY or GOTY Deluxe - they're cheaper on Greenmangaming than on Steam, at least for Europe. 4,99€ and 6,24€ respectively but 20% off with the voucher GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49 makes it a better deal.
Also posting for new page if someone missed, I think these are neat deals.
+ also Orange Box 4,49€ and Valve Complete Pack 22,49€ (+ 20% off), can't be posted enough.
Will be going to buy my first games on Amazon now, hadn't bothered to use a US address before but can't resist the deals.

It's nice to see that the download speeds can keep up even during the sale.
that's some fast DL speed. even with a 100mbps connection here my DL speed only goes to around 8 MB/s
Freedom = $1.05

Just bought a code for Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet on eBay for $2. Seems like a terrific price for that game.

Yeah it was like that yesterday. It was on sale at Nuuvem as well, potentially slightly cheaper even.
Does anybody know if buying the Orange Box from GMG will activate the censored German version of the games or the ROW version, if bought and activated from Germany?

For those who didn't buy it, Tomb Raider (2013) is on sale on Amazon.com for $5 right now. I think the deal lasts until Christmas Day.

There is no low-violence version of the Valve Complete Pack.

Buy 30 games!
Or craft a badge, the cheapest at the moment is Rogue Legacy at just over 60 cents for the set. Or maybe complete the community badge, no cost involved.
