What I got on Steam Deals:

LA Noire
Batman Pack
Wings of Prey

Not much but I still play BF3 alot...


So I just finished downloading the Batman pack... what is a good controller for PC? Or I can just use a regular PS3 controller or XBOX controller? I'm planning to play Street Fighter too!

I used some kb/m and some 360 controller for AA. Both worked fine.

I like the 360 wired controller. Seems like most games support it the best.

Yup, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is widely considered the best Splinter Cell game, and one of the best Tom Clancy games in general. Unfortunately though it's $6 right now, which is higher than it was a few days ago ($2.50).

For $11.49 I don't think you can go wrong with the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Elite Echelon Edition.

You should have asked us about Wings of Prey.
Its got some nasty DRM that can make it unplayable eventually.

Really? Damn... I saw it for $5 and jumped on it... I was a flight sim/Air Combat fan before FPS (F-18 Hornet on the MACs)... $5 wasted = I'll just pretend I have my Moca Frappiciano for the day...:hmm:

I got played too apparently. I didn't see ubisoft or any other questionable companies so I thought it was OK.

I have not been following this thread too tightly but I have not seen it mentioned: TotalBiscuit has been doing commentary on the sales.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65TbldTRmp4&feature=plcp

Might be something to look out for at future sales.

DO NOT BASE YOUR DECISION ON THIS GUY ONLY!


His "review" of Jagged Alliance is totally off. He talks about lots of bugs and stupid AI, but I haven't seen that when I played. Maybe he played a beta version?

Also, he mentions how the enemies take multiple hits to kill, well so did the original!

Sounds like he is just pissed it's not EXACTLY like the original, which is what I see a lot in many of the "reviews" of the game. total BS.


He also really likes bioshock, which this forum seems to hate. I liked Bioshock though.

So tomorrow is a recap day, or is today the final day? Darkness II was only a daily deal once right? I think I might've seen it as a community vote deal but don't believe it won, probably the one game I regret not buying so hope it's a flash sale or in a recap if they're doing one.

Rememeber, I posted Darkness II limited edition for $9.99 at Newegg, better than the Steam price for the normal version; it's still on sale.

There are still new flash and community deals.

So we'll see some repeat deals.

YuPlay.

You need to register with it separately from Steam. And it needs to be always running when you wanna use Wings of Prey. And it can get errors, making your game unplayable.

damn, so Street Fighter X Tekken never went on sale, and the price on the 3rd person Spec Ops game never really went down? Shameful!

So how is JA? I'm not sold by the 62 metacritic reviews.

I like the artistic aspect of Bioshock, but wasn't crazy about the little gameplay that I did.

But it's a very well reviewed game, with a 96(!) metacritic, the highest of any game in the sale I think.

A very good deal on sale.

Bioshock 2 wasn't as well reviewed (88), but still very good.

Maybe I'm missing something here but how the fuck am I supposed to quit out of Burnout Paradise?

Yeah that took me a while to figure out too. Pause it and press F1 (or LB if using a controller) until you get the menu that has an exit option.
