Thing is that even with the sale it's still often cheaper to order from Amazon or elsewhere e.g. Bad Company 2 is £20.09 in Steam's sale but £17.99 from Amazon.

Indeed, no matter how good a Steam deal looks, always check elsewhere too.

If it's a game with some sort of auth/account/cd key then you should be able to enter that into Steam after adding the game to it anyway and it'll then be as if you bought it on Steam for updates etc.

CS was good in the days before Source. Trouble is now its full of kids so skilled that you're dead before you even have chance to look at something.

Tbh I preferred the old version. Nade spamming inside the building on cs_assault rocked.

the mother of all sales just started on steam, shed loads of stuff from a lot of big publishers, and some daily deals, from 24 june - 4 july

A good little game worth looking at is "Altitude" - it's a multiplayer flying game, takes a bit to get used to it but it's great fun and highly addictive.

I just whacked down my £3.75 for ghostbusters and AVP 2000.

I wanted to get killing floor so badly so I could shoot TdC but I'd never play it :(

Got The Force Unleashed for a fiver, crap port so I understand but meh, not expensive. Left 4 Dead 2 for 6.80 is a cracking good price too, worth getting if you don't have it already. Don't get Supreme Commander 2 though, a) it's a bit crap, b) cheaper on Amazon and it registers on Steam anyway.

No, the beta was fun, but it's lacking content, it's also very basic. Crackdown 2 for the same basic game.

apb is a good laugh tbh, though i wouldnt buy it on your own, it ideal for 4 people (group max for invites), and just arse around in cars running people over etc, - i would say its got limited grinding appeal , long term fun rather than short term anything really

im prob going to sub it for a few months, then switch to the 20hoursPVP/unlimted social for a fiver gametime instead of a sub, and just play it now and then :)

No problem, I'll just install it to one of my drives with plenty of space, oh wait, you can't do that with steam because that's a KERAZY idea.

ffs.

The offers are too tempting, restricted myself to buying games that have been reduced to below the £4 mark, to stop myself from spending too much.
