Not just them. Ragnar Tørnquist team who's currently making Dreamfall Chronicles also did the same.
Dreamfall Chronicles is now a 5 episodes game.

XCOM uses Unreal Engine 3. Fire up any of those games (or a demo) and see if it works.
How old is your laptop? What's the processor and graphics chip?
many GBs to contain all the awesome

Not really, but it's fine for that price I'd say. Console people might like it but if you want a good Thief stealth game, go for the originals or Dishonored.

Nazis take lots of resources.

Can't think of any real reason for it. Especially once you see the textures and stuff.
That's the most reasonable conclusion. Flash sales could still be new, though.
I forgot about that. What do we think will be on there?

A little heads up, Wolfenstein can't be gifted to other regions (AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting = No). Depending where you and the winner live this could be a problem.
Also, German gaffers need a VPN connection each time they want to play the game.
At least the base price went to 30 bucks. Still needs to be loads cheaper before I buy it

Isn't the last day (recap day) on the 30th?

Crappy id Tech 5 engine. The textures eat up a lot of space although they mostly look like shit ingame.
EDIT: Beaten like a filthy Nazi.
Oh right, forgot about the flash sales.
Alan Wake, Battlefront II, Dark Souls 1, looks like people love them.
Baldur's Gate 1 is ok. The main reason to play it would be that it provides significant backstory for 2 (and your character gets ported over to the sequel).
The reason Baldur's Gate 2 is so highly regarded in my mind, is that it does such a good job of weaving a story centered around your custom character and appealing to that power fantasy aspect. There are a lot of little events and quests that happen, and the way other characters interact with you, that really make you feel like a force to be reckoned with and a major player in the setting.
2 is more memorable than 1 because the settings get much more varied, you become a lot more powerful, and the game just has a more varied scope in general. It feels like a far more "epic" game.

I'm very sorry for not being much... Good luck!

Nice one! I didn't join since i'd rather have someone with a beefier computer and more interest play it. It's further down my wishlist anyways..

It's an Acer Aspire E1-572.
Processor: Intel Core i3-4010U CPU @ 1.70GHz
I got it this year but I don't think it's brand new considering all the new laptops have Windows 8 and this was still Windows 7. Maybe 09'? I don't use it for gaming so it wasn't an issue but damn I want XCOM!
This has been a good all around sale. Yea there was a few days with silly repeats and terrible community vote decisions but outside of that everything has been solid. Quite a lot of new games or ones released in past month have had very legit discounts as well. The valiant hearts price error and laughing bundle has definitely been the biggest highlights so far imo.

Not a fan of how they sexed up Palutena in that Smash cg.

What video card is it? I'm thinking it will run like crap, or the settings you'd have to run it at would look bad.
XCOM has a demo. Try that, see if it works.
Its hard to say, the intel onboard graphics is the sticking point. I'd suggest downloading the XCom demo and seeing how it runs, if at all.

It's a nice little game.

So, if I redeem a M&M $6 prize on Steam, I'll be locked out of the market for a week? But I'll still be able to buy games, right?

It could still run the Unreal Engine 3, but probably at a low frame rate. But I guess this is not a huge issue for a turn based strategy game like XCOM, is it?
As said, best advice is to download any Unreal Engine 3 (tech-)demo and try it out.
just the community market
