Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games - Page 101 - Video Games

I passed on Saint's Row a few days ago (mainly because I forgot, but I'm kind of proud of myself for not insta-buying), but I think I'll have to buy Deus Ex. I still get pissed every time I see that title, though, after buying a "Limited Edition" version of the original at Best Buy years ago, only to discover that it was literally "limited" because it was only a demo.

Just bought the Crusader kings 2 Flash deal, anyone played/enjoyed it? I'm kind of a strategy genre geek.

Also seems like Steam shot its wad early. Pretty sure every single game on sale right now was on sale earlier in the week, I expect the same thing tomorrow and Sunday.

the thing is, the first was amazing. like if id never played 1, id probably love 2 instead of just imagining what it could have been.

like you said, solid fps. looks good, plays well, is fun, and you can even get some mileage out of multiplayer (or at least you could when i played it, dunno the state of its games now).

Burnout Paradise is a flash deal for $4, anyone played it? 87 metacritic but also old and i just got that NFS game.

Saints Row 3 isnt even the best Saints Row game and doesn't come close to the GTA series.

arma 2 at 40% off can **** itself in its own face

nice of them to slightly lower the price after people have been buying it all week keeping it in the top selling games.

It's very similar to diablo (hack'n slash) but more cartoonish.

actually diablo haters recommend it very much and it has excellent metacritic user reviews, so for 4EUR it's definitely a steal and worth trying it out.
