steam deals

Read elsewhere that someone got much better speeds by changing something, their profile?, to another region (try Japan).

Ah, great, totally forgot about that! I picked Denver and I'm up to 800KB/s which is OK. My connection is capable of around 1800KB/s.

This looks kind of fun, think I might pick it up.

Been trying to stay away from Steam during the holiday sales. They have some awesome deals, but I'm already kind of backlogged on games from previous sales. I don't need to purchase any more.

This looks like a nice bloody package

Is the SW Premier Pack worth it?

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for $6.79 is very hot.. It includes a graphically revamped remake of "Escape from Butcher Bay" as well as the sequel, so you're actually getting two full games for the price. It's probably one of the best single player FPS games of all time (behind Bioshock).

Just be aware that the steam version of Riddick still has Tages. As far as I know, 3 activations, non-revocable.

This has been changed. It still has the 3 install limit, but after the install limit is reached a one month timer is started -- at the end of which all 3 of your installations are returned to you.

Is Dead Space worth $10?

 

[Scouzer]

man, if anyone doesn't have DoD : S they'd be crazy not to pick it up!!!

 

[BlueWeasel]

Is Dead Space worth $10?

I think so. It's a port, though, and the KB+M controls aren't great. I found it played much better with a 360 controller.

Holy moly, DoD : S for only $2.50.

Civilization IV: Complete is available for $27, which is as cheap as I have been able to find it in the past week or so that I've been looking.

Picked it up along with Indigo Prophecy.

It was $16 on D2D a few days ago, but that won't help you now.

Wha?

You said this on SD.

WTF are you talking about?

 

[SpatiallyAware]

I bit on the zombie driver game... I'm surprised, it's well worth $2.50.

It's very similar to carmegeddon except you're running over zombies (humans, monsters, dogs)..

I wish it had a map rather than just 'icons' that tell you where to go. It would also be nice to be able to carry multiple weapons and switch them on the go..

I thought all steam purchases had unlimited installs? (This is one reason why I have grown to like Steam so much)

For the most part they do, but a few publishers feel the need to add extra DRM to their games. TAGES is one of them... Securom the other popular choice.

Most games don't have extra DRM though.
