Yeah, I just bought the pack and while I haven't got them installed yet, my Brotherhood key is "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Deluxe".

That might have been worth them mentioning.

Not a big deal to me since I already own 2 and I've played 1 already.

 

[Peasant Princess-King]

I'm thinking of getting two worlds 2.

How is it? Anybody want to give a quick review giving some pros and cons to the game.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Well don't be, that kicks the pants off consoles.

Sweet. AC here I come.

btw, AC1 works out cheaper (at least for Aussies) if you get it gifted from the UK, it's 3.39 GBP (about $5.50 Au with Paypal conversion rate).

 

[StuBurns]

ME on PC only has ingame achievements if I remember right, nothing tied to a gamertag.

Typo sorry, archive was what it should have said.

 

[RoboShmup]

Playing it for the first time? if so, you're lucky

I've played The Orange Box a while back on the 360, but Half-Life 1 is completely new to me and I'm sure Half-Life 2 will be even more enjoyable on PC

Also I've been gifted Torchlight! Awesome day.

 

[SNIKT!]

This actually just sold me on it. Thanks.

Beautiful environments. Solid gameplay, nothing spectacular. I got bored of it halfway through though - haven't finished it yet.

 

[Gvaz]

Two Worlds 2 lost all the charm of the first game, but now becomes generic gothic style game with more powerful magic customizations.

No more killing entire towns and raising them as undead or whatever

Buy Risen instead of Two Worlds 2 imo

My CD key says the same thing.

 

[Forsaken82]

Bought:
Counter-Strike: Source
Garry's Mod
The Longest Journey
Dreamfall
Eversion
The Path
Torchlight

Want:
Crysis Warhead
Vampire Bloodlines
The Last Remnant
Bully
Deus Ex GotY Ed

I'd also grab Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge if they were nice prices, just for archive reasons.

What are you waiting for on Vampire: Bloodlines? I highly doubt it will be in the dailies. Personally I would recommend the game for its full price.

 

[DarkSoul520]

Damage so far:

Bit.Trip.Runner
Oblivion
SpaceChem
Eschalon Book 1 & 2
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Magicka Complete Pack
HOARD
Saira
Tropico 3 Gold
Torchlight
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Good hull so far. Can't wait to see what will be on sale for July 4th.

Why didn't I ever see this awesome bulletpoint when people were trashing the first?

 

[masterkajo]

How is Defense Grid: The Awakening? Tower defense game I assume - but is it any good?

 

[Card Boy]

How are you so sure? Was there something in the slipped in the registry or whatever those files people were mining that suggested this? If so I'm super hyped!

Hes the Doctor, he has gone to the future.

 

[StuBurns]

Why not wait though? I haven't bought it in seven years, I doubt another seven days will kill me.

 

[Yasae]

Because I'm an unemployed 17 year old, I don't have anything else to spend money on.

Okay, I have to buy GAS, but....

You don't pay insurance?

 

[hlhbk]

I keep seeing the GAF chat referenced. Never joined a group chat in Steam before. How do you get into the chat?

 

[The Elite]

What are you waiting for on Vampire: Bloodlines? I highly doubt it will be in the dailies. Personally I would recommend the game for its full price.

Because there is no need to rush into it. Many have been waiting for a Steam sale on Vampire for months. Might as well hold out to see if it ends up as a daily before grabbing it at the current sale price.

Nothing wrong with that.

Ask Dennis. Last I heard was that he absolutely hated that game, even called "the spawn of hell" if I remember correctly.

 

[echoshifting]

Yeeeessss. People have been raving for pages. -_-

 

[Einbroch]

Torchlight get.

Let's see what the fuss is all about.

 

[Kweh]

Is Defense Grid primarily a mouse and keyboard game or is it a port of the 360 version?

 

[echoshifting]

I only ever play it with m/kb

 

[OmegaDragon]

It's great. And it has a Portal crossover level with some great GLADOS quotes

 

[outunderthestars]

I really want risk factions, but have this feeling that it is going to go on sale the day after a i buy it. Will Steam adjust the price for people who bought it a day or two before a sale?

 

[Tempy]

Got the Out of Bullets achievement for Defense Grid. Last map was a bit tricky - Was down to 1 core :3

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Wait until the last day of the sale.

 

[Card Boy]

For those that missed out on the Super Meat Boy deal, Greenman Gaming still has it cheaper than the Steam daily deal at $6.95 (54cents cheaper). GMG's version must register on Steam, so you can go for the ticket that way.

You can get $5 credit back after purchase (for spending $5 minimum) for new Greenman accounts if using a referal link.

 

[KarmaCow]

Is Defense Grid primarily a mouse and keyboard game or is it a port of the 360 version?

There are gamepad options but I've been playing with m/kb. Well pretty much just mouse.

 

[echoshifting]

Except the all-important checkpoint button.

 

[PaulLFC]

No. Do not buy it now. It's not even on sale, being an EA game. If it's a daily deal, buy it then. If not, since it's full price now, you can buy it whenever.

 

[Bentendo]

After six hours New Vegas has finally successfully downloaded. Now I'm off to install Defense Grid!

 

[Einbroch]

Defense Grid getting some solid recommendations, picked that up as well.

Oh Steam, you are great.

 

[hlhbk]

For those wondering how two worlds is here is a list of reviews. Based on this and what I have heard in here it seems to be a oblivion rip off. Considering my backlog and the upcoming holiday releases I will be skipping on this one.

[Le-mo]

I really want Assassin's Creed II but I'm short on cash. :/

 

[Red]

Got the Out of Bullets achievement for Defense Grid. Last map was a bit tricky - Was down to 1 core :3

Any tips?

 

[Sotha Sil]

Really hope New Vegas will be a daily. Last game I'm really interest in on Steam. (Ok, probably not the last).

 

[Grinchy]

Blockbuster isn't the dirty word in the UK it seems to be in the States. It's pretty strange.

We have Love Film which is much better, but Blockbuster is okay.

At least in my area, the company did everything they could to systematically wipe out all renting competition in the area. Then, when the competition was gone, they raised prices like crazy. When Blockbuster first came into my neighborhood as a kid, it cost like $3 to rent a game for a week. That was actually higher than the competition, but BB had a huge selection so the higher cost was justified. By the time they ran everyone out of business, they started charging like $7 for 3 days. And if you rented early one day, it was due early on the last day. Turning it in in the evening would result in late fees. It was ridiculous. And there was no other renting option.

So when Blockbuster started having major issues, no one had any sympathy for them.

There's ALWAYS at least one game that you forgot about.

 

[cacophony]

Deals today suck. However, I downloaded TF2 since it's free now. So i'll play it for the first time later.

 

[shintoki]

Anyone got a guide to the 5 Out of bullet maps for DF. I've done one and two, but I got the three and it was the level I had trouble with to begin with.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Tropico 3 get.

 

[KarmaCow]

Any tips?

Tesla towers are really good against the shielded guys. Someone posted a guide a page or two back too.

Check to see if best buy is still selling the pc version for $9.99. It's steamworks so it will register. You're not likely to see it lower than that if it is a daily.

 

[taranatar]

Anyone up for some Coop on Magika??

 

[Bentendo]

It's still online. So even if your local store doesn't have one, you can order it online and ask them to send it to the nearest Best Buy so that you don't have to pay for shipping. Of course if you don't mind paying for shipping (or if there isn't a Best Buy near you), you could always have them send it to your house.

Apart from the same-day late fees, they've started doing similar in the UK now, at least round where I live. It used to cost £2.50 to rent for a week back in the day, now it costs £5 for 5 days, and they keep advertising "NO LATE FEES!*"

* "Only £1 extra per night!" - errr, I may be being stupid, but those are late fees, are they not? Should you bring the game back 2 days late, you get charged a fee of £2...

Would if I could, but I'm not in the US.

 

[Forkball]

Awww yeah ACB finishes downloading in about an hour and I can finally play it. It's like that time it took all day to load the first episode of The Animatrix online when I had 56k internet.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Welp, goddamn ive suddenly gotten hooked on Torchlight. Have had the game for over a year now, never spent a lot of time on it. Now i want Torchlight 2 really bad, and Diablo 3 worse.
