KOTOR and Monkey Island 2 for $2.50 each. $2.50 per copy Trine 8 pack. $5 per copy Aliens vs Predator 6 pack.

 

[diztrukted]

Only picked up two of the indie packs but I bet I'll be grabbing more once the sale proper starts in a week or two.

Still, can't beat 10 games for $10 (even if I know I hate one already :lol Other 3 I've tried so far are great).

Is there a list somewhere where they tell what will be in the indie packs in the coming weeks? I bought one and now I'm all outta money (right when the orange box became available too) :'(

I think i might donate some blood or something lol

 

[jiien]

Would someone kindly list out everything? I'm stuck at work.

Edit: Ah, thanks from the future!

 

[Nabs]

I might just get AVP so Stallion has someone to play against. Dirt 2 at 5 is a steal.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Monkey Island 2 - OH YES

 

[coopolon]

Wow, they are ruthless. Putting up a gift pack of World of Goo day after putting World of Goo on sale. Jesus.

 

[suikodan]

Metro 2033 and Dirt 2 bought.

Great prices!!!

 

[Volcynika]

Nothing for me as I have most of it, but good stuff there.

 

[Salaadin]

Really??!?

Really.

Just bought

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Eh it looks like nothing for me these past 2 days. I think I own too many games now lol.

 

[Cday]

I already own pretty much all of these

Wow, they are ruthless. Putting up a gift pack of World of Goo day after putting World of Goo on sale. Jesus.

Beat Hazard too.

 

[Dennis]

AvP at -66% is a good bargain although the game itself is only average.

 

[Amneisac]

SO GLAD I didn't bite on the Metro 2033 on Amazon, I really wanted it on Steam. Nice!

 

[Fireflu]

Wow, they are ruthless. Putting up a gift pack of World of Goo day after putting World of Goo on sale. Jesus.

Im just glad they didnt put up the half life episodes in a pack!, bought the orange box yesterday JUST for episode 2 (dont regret it!)

 

[dream]

How's the Lead and Gold player base?

 

[Edgeward]

Damn, all of the ones I would've wanted I already have. D= Now I know how hardcore steam users feel.

 

[Technosteve]

think metro will be down to 5 dollars =/ i just started playing wow again fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[LordPhoque]

Buy Monkey Island 2, it has the best soundtrack of the year.

 

[stuminus3]

Hmm... only the Indie air pack for me, even though it's by far the least interesting pack to me so far. I'll grab it anyway.

Some good deals there, but I already own everything else available except for Mafia II. That can't be a good sign. :lol

Mafia II isn't much of a deal. I think I'll wait a bit more on that one.

 

[thechemist]

KOTOR work on win 7?

 

[Zerokku]

I'm interested in Metro 2033, but Im wondering if its worth it given my specs

2.34 Core i5 (Dualcore)
4GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia GTS 360M (1GB DDR5 Dedicated)

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

How many times is KotOR going to go on sale? Does it have to reach a certain number of sales before we finally get KotOR II on Steam?

I've been thinking the same thing. Even though kotorII is not as good I would still like steam to put it on the store.

 

[duckroll]

Updated OP. Am I missing anything?

 

[dani_dc]

Third time World of Goo is on sale during this sale :lol

Might pick up Kotor and Peggle, not sure about Lead and Gold.

 

[Archie]

Monkey Island is the only thing I want. I wish KOTOR 2 would show up on Steam, or any DD service for that manner.

 

[ZZMitch]

In for-
-Peggle
-Metro 2033
-KOTOR

Maybe Monkey Island, don't really know anything about it though...

 

[JoeBoy101]

Definitely getting Metro after work. Will debate Monkey Island.

 

[speculawyer]

is mafia really just 25% off?

Well, it is a relatively recent release . . . it only came out 3 months ago.

 

[Stallion Free]

KOTOR work on win 7?

Just fine. Win 7 64-bit tested.

 

[Bebpo]

Mafia II price is terrible. :\

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Holy shit metro 2033!! Can't wait to get home and buy it!

 

[Tampinha]

Monkey Island is the only thing I want. I wish KOTOR 2 would show up on Steam, or any DD service for that manner.

KOTOR 2 is so buggy it probably would just crash steam for you

 

[thechemist]

Just fine. Win 7 64-bit tested.

Thanks!!!!

 

[slamskank]

Metro 2033 for ten bucks is a steal. I bought it full price at release and didn't regret it at all.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Hey, at least the combat is better than Cryostasis. Half the time you are fighting against the frame rate, instead of the actual enemies. Once you get the PPshushhhhhh the game goes into 10-18 fps mode.

:lol :lol :lol

So true. Even on my 5850 I was getting lots of fps issues. The game hates AMD.

But Cryostasis kept you moving and the game had a great tension to it. Any enemy could fuck you up if you weren't careful, and the health mechanics put a forward momentum on it all. The story was also oddly involving because it almost made sense, and I kept wanting to get some new pieces to try to get it to fit altogether. By the end it sort of made sense, and then it fucking blows your mind.

With Metro there is less forward momentum. The story sucks, the characters don't have any development and are incredibly unimportant, and the combat is basically obnoxious. It's like a mildly improved STALKER molded into a COD game that takes away almost all the good things about STALKER.
