Damn, doesn't work with XP. May be time to move to Win7.

Another option is to move the game files from the "steamapps" folder to a backup folder on another hard drive. That'll free up space on your Steam drive. You won't be able to play those games but at least you'll have the files so you don't have to re-download them if you decide you want to play them again.

dang, I'm guessing sale will start tomorrow, or cyber monday at the latest.

in other news, Resident Evil 5 is on Impulse for $9.99 right now. worth it? good?

I'm not a great fan of these games, or anything, but I had tons of fun with RE4 on PS2/3, and enjoyed the original ones a bit. Also, is it a GFWL that will be too annoying to bother? I don't have much experience with that--received Dirt 2 free with my Vid card last year, tried playing it for 4 minutes, after dealing with GFWL, gave up.
lol.

The deals are live on Steam right now.

Today's deals don't seem good at all.

Here we go..........



edit: agree with Tokie. Steam is getting hammered.

Yea. The only one that's tempting me is Alpha Protocol, but I'm undecided. I bought the game at release on the 360 (for full price) and HATED it. I sold it and I recouped most of the price. I figure that $7.50 will make me think differently about the game.

it would be real cool to win that wishlist contest

Resident Evil 5 and Borderland.Thoughts? I've heard a lot of good things about borderlands.

is it still a half-assed xbox port?

 

[StinkyPinky]

So Alpha Protocol....does it suck? I like story driven RPG's so I'm tempted but not if it is a total dog.

 

[MajorMullet]

I just read the fine print on the wish list contest. It says you need to have at least 10 games on your list to qualify.

I initially only added 5 because there are only 5 things that I really want, so I had to go back and add a few more things to reach 10. Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone else did the same thing

 

[The Boston Dangler]

super meat boy 9.99 from 14.99. pre-order, available nov 30

 

[RavenSEAL]

No idea

Borderlands is GREAT fun, and I'm one of those who rabidly hates most console ports. You can't go wrong for $10. Pick it up.

 

[Gibsons]

Impulse has HOI 3 for 8.99. Maybe I should finally take that plunge. :hmm:

D'oh

OP: Can you edit in a list so we can all stay informed as to what we plan on blowing our money on?

 

[pontifex]

you guys got your wish, lol

nothing on there too exciting for me.

I see Alpha protocol is on there for 7.50. that might be a decent price for it.

This is only 1 of 5 days

I almost bought it when it was $15 from Amazon, but:
- it's apparently a bug fest and not much fun to play
- there is no real patch (just a minor installation fix that adds new bugs) and there never will be a patch
- there are no modding tools so a volunteer / fan patch is unlikely

... so I'm playing Fallout New Vegas instead. I have enough other games in my unplayed stack that I'm going to skip Alpha Protocol even at $7.50

There was a patch released two days ago, plus the DRM has been removed. Although that may be the retail copy.
