Anyone think the older CoD games will go higher than 25% off? I'd love to pick up CoD4 and/or WaW, but 14.99 is still above my price range, especially for 4+ year old games.

It looks fantastic on PC.
Garbage = broken and unplayable? I bought and beat it for the Xbox when it first came out and just want to replay it, I just don't want to dig out my old xbox to do so. I rather spend $2.50 to do so then $9.99.
Yes, PSN and XBLA.
Bah I don't have either of those consoles. I've been on the fence with the PS3 for a while but it just doesn't seem to have enough games I want to play that I could stand to play with only a controller.
We're lucky if they even go to 50% off. The highest I've ever seen was 75% off MW2 on Amazon. Still have no clue how Tony managed to pull that off.

I bought DR2: OTR even though I beat DR2 not long ago. Fuck me. At least I'll be playing it with a friend.

Mirror's Edge is probably the most polarizing game I've ever played, personally. Simultaneously one of the best games I've ever played and one of the worst.
So there's that one time service gesture refund that Steam does and I have it on Two Worlds II because of it's DRM. Should I do it or save it for when I mess something else up really badly?
Two Worlds II is only $10 and all that but holy shit at the DRM. Thing is that I can't be bothered to make an account on their forum to find that one guy to do it manually and all that. I can't get through their online server activation at all.

From another poster:
Yes, that's what Steam was offering. The Amazon bundle includes Crusader Kings II and four other Paradox titles.
Sword of Islam is the only major content expansion at the moment.

Genuine curiosity - what don't you like about the game? It's just so damn good.

I played Mirrors Edge on the 360 2 years ago or so.
The problem with the Game: It is good. Really good!
But far too short and no replayability at all.
They should have released a SKD with it.
But for 2,50 its a steal!

60fps maxed-out Mirror's Edge with PhysX looks like a totally different game to the PS3 version. If your system is up to the task, it's a no brainer.

How long is it?
Was going to wait for that but $7.50 is close enough and I don't trust Capcom to drop msrp to $20 then 75% off it so quickly.

Liked Dead Rising 2 a lot. It was a lot of fun on PC. Never got to play the co op. DR: OTR seems fun, but when this is a bullet point as to why you should buy it, something is/was wrong.
I mean really? SMH.

One of the best looking games I've ever seen (THE COLORS!). Looks amazing and plays great, although there are some very frustrating parts. I always wanted to run forward and the moment you stop and have to look around or fight it breaks the flow of the game. Still great though and I would easily recommend it for $5.
Now I'm just waiting for Crysis and my list will be complete. I would also buy The Witcher if it goes any cheaper.
Fable 2 was flawed in many ways, but there were a few aspects of it that made me feel that if they were expanded upon in a sequel, they could have something really special.
Instead they managed to actually regress and oversimpfly everything, and it resulted in a shallow and just plain boring game. Its probably my biggest dissapointment of the generation.
Btw can anyone sell me on AC Rev? I love the series and Brotherhood is easily my favorite. What i've seen of the setting looks fantastic.

Welp GFWL. Pity, I was kinda in the mood for a Dead Rising photography thang.

It's letterboxed, runs bad and has pretty bad controls on PC. Actual game is great tho, but your best option for replaying it is the PS3 or 360 versions.

Xbox exclusive, unfortunately
Well yeah, I know MS wants to pretend they have a first party but it's dumb that just 1 and 3 are here.

Hmmm... A few hours. Maybe 4 to 6? Long enough to entice you to play it multiple times. It's the kind of game where you'd want to. Like Star Fox 64.
Heh, I used that "one time gesture" on Two Worlds 2 last years summer sale I think, because of the DRM. Kinda shitty Steam still doesn't list this DRM on the game store page, shame on Valve.
Oh damn, Dead Rising 2 is on 75% off? I was really tempted to check this out. Also, my friendly really wants Rage though he doesn't have the money to buy it. Was thinking of being generous.
But those are both $10 games, I kind of wanted to check out Dear Ester, none of these are Arma II and I've already gone $5 over my original budget.
God. Damn. Valve!

Few questions about Mirror's Edge:
- How does it play without a controller? I recall there being a lot of button presses to get around when I played the 360 demo ages ago.
- Does it require any other software to play like Origin? Uninstalled Origin ages ago because BF3 would make my laptop hot and I was too worried about damaging something.

RE: Mirror's Edge. Honestly, I thought that the execution was a bit iffy, the combat was fairly dire and there was too many damn corridors towards the end. That said, for three quid and change, I'm pretty damn sure everyone will get their money's worth.

Yeah, I agree. I'd love to own 2 on PC.

I liked Fable II on Xbox 360. If it came out on Steam, I'd seriously consider buying it again. But I'm not sure if I should get The Lost Chapters. Would you say that it's better than Fable II or worse?
Ok, bought it thank you Nabs!
Still on the fence about Brotherhood (I already have the first two games on 360...) and ME (no DLC and already have it on 360, could wait the next sale hoping for an higher discount)
