Games Game bargains

[old.Tohtori]

So is it safe to open my steam? Is the sale over?

 

[Moriath]

yup, didnt buy anything this year hehe

 

[Raven]

I bought the Xcom expansion and the small DLCs and Another World with the money I made from selling cards, that's it.

Either the games industry has stalled to a halt or I spent way too much over last year when I could have got stuff in the sale.

 

[Scouse]

Another World

About halfway through that.

I originally played that on my Amiga in my first year at Uni. Pirated copy. Glad I got to pay for it now

 

[Raven]

I just hope they remake/re-release Flashback too.

Edit, according to wikipedia they have remade it. Will have to have a search later on.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Flashback remake is, arguably, sh*t'ish.

 

[Hawkwind]

I purchased Sanctum 2 and the DLC's, Level 31 and enjoying this co-op defense game. Also ES Pre-Purchase, will give it a go but still not sure I'll like it

ESO - I'm not so sure yet.

ESO - I'm not so sure yet.

Me neither tbh but least with the pre-purchase you can play any race in any faction. Post release you are restricted to faction races only.

Can anyone recommend a nice fun shoot em up?

 

[Scouse]

Can anyone recommend a nice fun shoot em up?

Far Cry 3.

Once you get past the horrid consoley nature of the interface it's a laugh.

 

[Moriath]

If you want a shooter that is old school rather than the mission, rpg elements then going back to serious Sam series would be good

 

[Raven]

Yeah, both Farcry 3 and the standalone expansion type thing, Blood Dragon are excellent. You can even forcibly remove some of the console limitations with a bit of fiddling but even so it looks and plays well.

 

[Billargh]

I've been playing a bit of Duke Nukem 3D lately since it was on sale on Steam the other week.

Failing that, get Blood Dragon!

 

[TdC]

I still like L4D and L4D2

 

[old.Tohtori]

Can anyone recommend a nice fun shoot em up?

Shoot em up, or shooter/FPS?

 

[Moriath]

Far cry isn't a shoot em up

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeap, that's why i was asking, making sure Blacky meant a shoot em up and not a shooter like Scouse mistook it for(which probably prompted the rest of replies).

 

[mr.Blacky]

Ah in the end it was serious sam, as I just needed to get rid of some aggression but Far Cry looks nice

 

[CorNokZ]

Serious Sam with 6+ mates at a net café is some of the best fun I've ever had

Good times

Hah, yeah that was kickass. We plaid it at school when everyone had gone home many many years ago.

Awesome deal. If I didn't already have 4 and 5, I would definitely go for this.

 

[TdC]

BNW is worth it for the tenner it is - transforms the game.

Dungeon Keeper is free for the next 48 hours over at good old games.

 

[Scouse]

BTW - if you download Dungeon Keeper you can press ALT+R when in-game and the resolution will turn to 640x480 instead of 320x200

Or you can bodge an install of KeeperFX...
