Yeah I'm tempted by that too (for the mrs). But I'd never be able to get on the computer ever again.

I promised a final tally for all the purchases i made during the holiday sales in the picture above (yellow borders). Didn't feel like doing finances untill now but nonetheless it amounts to a total of E161,96 . Very reasonable if you ask me I haven't felt regrets about any of them so far

Dota 2 comming soon...

Don't tease me.

Link any updates!

So is the jury still out in digital distribution?

I still buy hard copies as presents on birthdays/christmas.

But that's pretty much it.

Anyone want a free code for Mafia 2 for steam? Post here and if there are multiple people I'll rand when I get back in a couple hours. Only post if you actually plan on playing the game.

I've actually wanted to try out the Mafia games. I added it to my Steam wish list when they were giving away those 5 free games a few months back. Is Mafia 1 a required play before Mafia 2 though?

I don't understand why players buy a new CoD every single year. I still play CS, BF2, and COD2...

Code sent

Batman: Arkham asylum 75% off, get this amazing game if you haven't already (though not sure about PC version, i played on xbox and it was amazing)

You can also preorder Portal 2 with 10% off.

Not making the same mistake as last time, definately picking it up.

Would it be fair to say that most of the stuff in the square enix package is filler and not worth picking up unless interested in everything. Games that interest me are primarily Batman, Last Remnant, Supreme Commander 2 and maybe Hitmans - others would maybe give me minor entertainment (don't know much about them)

got magicka.. and despite the fair reviews due to bugs, this game is the shiiiiiit. its very inventive. You must play it coop tho.. its very hard to solo. its 10$ and i def recomend it if u can find someone to play with.

I'm such a sucker for >75% sales no matter what the game.

I'll probably never play Batman, but I now own it.

+1

Just got Arkham Asylum too, thanks!

Just Cause 2 on the 75% off chopping block today

I bought Just Cause 2 when it came out and was very disappointed. Did many people here like it? There is no story and nothing to keep you playing, IMO.

please save me 7 bucks, cuz i'm considering buying it if the gameplay is interesting enough

I played 50 hours pf JC2

Yeah I think JC2 is was pretty awesome and tons of fun just ****ing around in the gigantic world.

Today is Front Mission Evolved for $12.49.

Never heard of it.

mech/3rd person/fps

not that great
