FUCK, Trials Evolution requires a uplay account. I think I made a mistake...

Ya that's why I'm waiting for $5 or less. If it had been steamworks I probably would have bought it right after playing the demo. Really fun game. It's a shame Ubisoft owns it.

You need to use Enhanced Steam.

Play the demo before you pick it up. I usually enjoy bad character action games and I thought this one was clunky in a not-so-fun kind of way.

Just purchased my first game on Steam :) I plan on getting a new computer soon :)

My god is this addicting, I mean how can you resist 75% off on games. I'm only human.

QUESTION. Something really bothers me though. I bought portal 1 and 2 pack. When I bought Half Life 2 orange box pack it said I would not receive portal 2 because I already bought it from before. Why not just give me the extra copy anyways and I could give it to someone else?

This is a question we all ask when we buy bundles with games that we already own. They simply do not provide you with extra copies. You lose what you already own.

It's very special that buying a pack gives you extra copies for games you own. With Orange Box for some reason only HL2 & HL2:EP1 are giftable. Probably because they were older games when the pack was released.

Nope.

But, hey, you never know what could happen, right?

I'm 95% sure it won't go on sale.

Ahh ok, just checking that nothing slipped through the cracks.
I'll be pulling the trigger on a lot of stuff come Monday that appear to not receive deeper discounts and that's likely one of them.

When is Onimusha 3: Demon Siege gonna be a daily?

This sale has really disappointed me with the lack of those obscure titles going on sale.

For the most part it has been mainstream games and indies. While the latter is commendable, I really don't have an interest in shallow, dumbed down games.

I want those obscure, or older titles. Where is Morrowind? Onimusha? Chaos Theory? Jedi Knight Series? Vampire The Masquerade? STALKER (Most likely a publisher issue)?

Its strange because I would consider Bully to be one of those titles. Older, doesn't carry that mainstream popularity, but we get a deal on that.
