Bioshock is definitely worth $5. I already own a retail copy, but bought the Steam version for no disk hassle.

a Core 2 Duo? or dual core?

I ran it on a s939 X2 3800+ at 1920x1200 fine, you will probably have to worry about the video card more than the processor.

I didnt update it at all my first play through and didnt run into any glitches, and I didnt have any problems activating.

do you still have that 939 around?

 

[Harmattan]

For anyone who hasn't played Mass Effect yet, get it.

If you're "on the fence" for Bioshock at this price, I bought it for $50 and it was well worth it.

The Witcher (must have for RPG fans) and POP collection are good deals as well. New POP is very good, but not worth $50 on its own.

I have a have a 2GHz Centrino with a ATI Radeon MOBILE 600SE. specs call for a P4 2.4Ghz Single Core processer with atleast a GeForce 7900 GT.

I have no idea what this means since have made myself obvlivious to product refreshes ever since my third year of college.

Man....now I know how my parents feel

edit:

It actually says you need atleast 2GB of ram...I only have half that

I may just buy this for when i get a new computer though $5...u cannot go wrong!

Man I love Steam. Picked up BioShock.

Gibson: Pretty sure that system won't play it very well. BioShock may not even install on it -- the game requires Shader Model 3.0, but the R300 architecture only supports 2.0.

Also, I think you're confusing the minimum and recommended requirements. According to Steam:

Minimum: Operating System: Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista, CPU: Intel single-core Pentium 4 processor at 2.4GHz, System RAM: 1 GB, Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM and Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550), Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card, 8GB of free hard drive space.

Recommended: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor; System RAM: 2GB; Video Card: DX 9 - Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB RAM and Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better), DX 10 - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better; Sound Card: SoundBlaster(r) X-Fi(tm) series (optimized foruse with Creative Labs EAX ADVANCED HD 4.0 or EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 compatible sound cards);

1) IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 ($7.49)

I've heard good things about this pack. This seems like an awesome price, but I haven't played any true flight sims before for an extended period of time (although I enjoy the Ace Combat series on Ps2 very much).

 

[jlee]

Wow. I think I'm going to spend more money.

 

[2GNTTurbo]

$37 and change for Left 4 Dead. Been playing it since the demo came out. Pretty good game.

 

[Fox5]

I decided to buy:
Left 4 Dead ($37.49)
Unreal Deal Pack (really just want UT3, but $10 for the rest of the unreal stuff is basically a steal) ($19.99)
Trials 2 (seems interesting enough) ($2.49)
I-Fluid (cheap, quirky physics title? y not) ($4.99)
Best of the Underground (not particularly interested, but they seem like decent time wasters, though I already own both ragdoll kung-fu and geometry wars, but the other two games are still cheaper in this package) ($9.99)
Company of Heroes: Gold (really good game) ($22.49)
Doom II (it's $0.99!)

Total: $98.43

Left on the floor:
Ultimate Doom ($0.99) - I figured I don't need two Dooms, and I'll likely never make it past the first episode. I've played the shareware version of doom enough times that this would be a bore, but I've never really played Doom II. Would prefer Quake 1 though, it's pretty sweet looking with some of its mods.
Indigo Prophecy ($9.99) - I do love good adventure games and this seemed very tempting... but it's a cut version. While I've seen the cut scenes in youtube vids online (and they don't seem to be anything special), I just feel wrong paying to support censorship. Plus, I wanted to keep this purchase under $100.

Bioshock at $4.99 is a steal and I would get it instantly if I didn't own it. Kind of makes me wish I waited on it.
Would probably get the Prince of Persia pack if I didn't already own the first. The first was pretty good but got repetitive toward the end. The 2nd seemed like more of the same. The newer releases don't seem like they've changed much. The combat in the PoP games is just horrible.

 

[Baked]

Yeah, too bad I have BioShock on PS3 already. I guess I can get Portal, but I'll probably throw up jumping through the portals. I'm actually interested in getting Far Cry 2, but then again, I can save that money and get Valkyria Chronicles on PS3 when it goes on sale. Bah!

 

[Daverino]

Your shopping cart
Fallout 3 $39.99
World In Conflict $22.49
Sid Meier's Pirates! $7.49
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 $7.49
Dawn of War - Platinum Edition $14.99
Call of Duty® 2 $14.99
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition $29.99

Total $137.43

Still thinking about pulling the trigger here. This should hold me for about a year!

 

[CRXican]

ballers lol

I'm going cheap cheap. Stalker SoC, Doom II and maybe Audiosurf lol

Didn't like the Bioshock demo

You sure about Bioshock? Last I read about it, it still had it.

Multiwinia

WTB - but going to wait till I'm done with the above

I recommend everyone buy Multiwinia for a good lan game

Also Reaxxion is a very unique casual game that is addictive
Peggle too if you don't have it yet.

Does anyone really play UT 04 or UT3 anymore?

Make sure to download the latest video drivers.

Bioshock looks awesome on high settings

 

[Eeezee]

My God, everything is 25-75% off!

Bioshock at $5 is a steal
Mass Effect at $26.99 is a good deal
Dawn of War EVERYTHING PACK (all original game + all of its expansions) for $29.99 is a steal
STALKER for $14.99 and Clear Sky for $17.99, both awesome deals
Doom II for $0.99
HL: Opposing Force for $0.99
HL: Blue Shift for $0.99
The Valve: Complete Pack for $74.99 is uber for anyone who doesn't already own most of the games.
Fallout 3 at $37.49 is a pretty slick deal
Left 4 Dead was worth every penny at $44.99, and now it's $37.50

All right, I've spent $95 on those first 4 items, that's it for me I already owned hard copies of the first two expansions for DoW, this is just to have persistent digital backups anywhere in the world.

I'm tempted to snag Witcher: Enhanced Edition as well, but will wait (it's $29.99 down from $39.99)

 

[Stas]

Immediately bought BioShock and WiC.
Then came back and also purchased Trials 2 and Clive Barker's Jericho. The latter one is hated by some people. I played the rip a year ago or so, I really enjoyed. The game deserves to be purchased, especially at this price

Thinking about Mass Effect, Clear Sky, and I don't know what else...
