Is the Worms franchise that popular? They've never managed to keep my attention, but I know some people who love them.

Worms reloaded is a daily today according to the devs.

Nice, it's already 50% off so I'd guess at least 75% off today. I hope so anyway. 75% and you've got a deal Team17. Bet it's still cheaper for me to get it gifted from the US though...

Is it easy to gift games after buying them? How does that work exactly? Do you have to choose the games to be giftable at the time of purchase?

4 Packs (hint) or buying them as a gift for someone else. If you buy them for yourself, you can't gift them afterwards.

Here is the updated list of likely remaining games with tickets, thanks to Freibooter:

A couple of games updated today and received new achievements, so we should know which games will be part of the Summer Camp ticket event. It would be cool if we could share our observations and figure out upcoming tickets so we can achieve the requirements in advanced. ;)

These are the games that have recently been updated with new summer themed achievements:

Its not that bad. Sure enemies have some annoying pinpoint locating technology, but they all go down easily enough, and if you don't charge in there full on with a jeep and expect to stealth the rest of the way you'll be fine.

A lot of people have the wrong idea about how far to get out of a vehicle when approaching a fairly quiet outpost. When your car is going to be the loudest sound for a few miles, it makes sense that they can tell when your coming. If you get out a little earlier and stealth your way closer, you can actually prey on enemies. Especially if you have the silent pistol/mp5

Thanks for the info. I was wondering how people just had games available to gift.

It does enable you to prey on enemies. In fact, in Far Cry 2 GOTY 2008™ you can take out a whole camp without anyone noticing. You just need the right tools and the right approach.

PaulLFC was on the right lines (having read a previous post where I mentioned a genre of game being good). It's been in/in the sale. It was sold as a 4 pack.

Probably Borderlands but I already own it anyway.

I'm currentliy in the UK, logged in to STEAM, now all prices are in pounds instead of € but that's not the problem. When i try to buy two sale games this message pops up (PayPal as payment)


"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

Any suggestions ?

Worms Reloaded isn't as good as the older ones. I mean it's alright, but last time I played it coop it was pretty obvious.
