I've been an avid console gamer until now, only using my PC for WOW, but with this sale I've been picking up a few titles I've seen talk of here. What should I be looking out for in this sale Gaf? Any recommendations?

I've bought:

Left 4 Dead 2
Portal 2
Mirror's Edge
Cave Story+
Frozen Synapse
Orcs Must Die

Don't you people have Skyrim? Why would you want to go back? They are the same game (for better or worse) only Skyrim has UI improvements and is prettier.

I put in ~500 hours of oblivion in the ps3 version. I put ~100 into skyrim on PC. I had more fun modding and looking around on skyrim than playing. I prefer oblivion's magic system by far and quests. Most of the crappy issues are actually fixed through mods (from what I have heard, I enjoyed the ps3 version just fine without any) unlike skyrim which STILL doesn't have a de-level mod. I was so hyped for skyrim, but in the end I was kidding myself. I had way more fun with oblivion and am craving another go with my gaming rig this time.

Abso-fucking-lutely this. Oblivion + KOTN + SI for $5? Yes please. In fact, do it for Morrowind, too.


WE HAVE TO GO BACK, KATE!

Seriously, though, mods.

You have the idea!

Is there any way to search for games by percentage off or any sites/ways that would compile a list? Chances are games won't be more than 75% off and I'd like to compile a list to watch until the last day.

Voting for Oblivion simply because I have no clue what happened to my box and discs and I'd like to have a cheap digital copy out there somewhere.

The Binary Domain product page still shows the Flash discount with 52 minutes left.

My front page still has it for 52 minutes.

You guys are all experiencing a glitch in the Matrix.

EDIT: Actually that looks pretty interesting. Although Bohemia is definitely trolling with choosing that.

For any Swedish people thinking of picking up Rage: It's 49 SEK at Siba.se with free shipping (or you could pick it up at a store, I suppose).

Does the physical PC version activate on Steam?

I have the pc hooked up to both a monitor (displayport) and a big HDTV (hdmi), I switch between them with Windows+P depending on the game. It's awesome to chill back on the couch with a wireless xbox controller in some games, specially third person ones. My current setup makes me regret not jumping into PC gaming sooner considering I have the option to switch to "comfy console mode" fast and seamlessly (with much better visuals).

Binary Domain got back on the main page.

I'm really on the fence on this one, it's more expensive than my usual sale budget, and I got both batman and alan wake for a lesser price, is it worth as much as those?

Yes. My gaming rig is hooked up to my Sony 55" XBR-929 and it is amazing. Only drawback are that some games dont have a way to adjust the font size, so that can be a problem at times, but not too much.

Its a longshot but im actually interested in these Midnight Mysteries games. Hope it goes 75% off but i never see them on sale. I love point and clickers and spooky atmospheres. Seems like they could be great games for October.
