I got Bioshock ($5), Civ IV Complete ($25), Civ III Complete ($4), and Painkiller Gold ($8). Deciding if I should get Pirates! for $8.

For some reason, you can't add Rome Total War Gold to your cart, but a Steam forum mod says they're looking into it...

Saw it. Looking to pick-up some of the 99cent specials. Bioshock is tempting, but I think I might go for the WW2 Eastern front mod of HL2.

Pirates for $8 is a steal, even if you only play a few games of it.

The only Eastern Front game I know of that is on there is Red Orchestra, which is NOT a VALVe or source-engine game. Although an excellent choice and much better than Bioshock.

I picked up CS:S for the first time. I've heard it's good, and at half off, I bit. Any other good recommendations? I already have Bioshock and strangely I'm the only person I know who didn't really like the game. I never got into it...never even finished it actually.

 

[Maniacal]

Lol CS:S, it's mediocre at best.

The VALVe Complete pack is highly recommended, if you have some of the gmaes in it already then you can gift the extra copies to friends.

Mount&Blade is 50% off, I extremely recommend it (you will NOT regret it, I promise).

Your not alone...I hated Bioshock

I already own Mount&Blade, otherwise I'd buy it for an easy $15. That game has the best melee combat ever.

Also, if you have a powerful PC, you can have epic battles with literally hundreds of soldiers on the field. Check out these YouTube videos for some crazy M&B combat:

Siege attempt

Cavalry vs. infantry

Almost all the games I want lag horribly on my computer

Well I don't have any friends around here who have VALVE or even play computer games. Video games on PS3 and such yeah. I guess I'm a "semi-casual" gamers lol. And I already have TF2 and Portal, and now CS:S...HL2...never tried it...ah well.

And I've heard alot about M&B....hmm Im not a big RPG player though, the only one I've really played is Fallout 3. Is it an RPG type game that requires tons of time? hmm it is only $15 though...

 

[Maniacal]

You can gift them to anyone on your steam friend's list as well.

Mount&Blade does not need tonnes of time to play, a single game/character can go on for as long as you want really, but you don't need to put in like 5 hour sessions every day, just an hour or two. It is also very easy to 'cheat' or create a character without having to start from level 1 every time if you are impatient (although not nearly as rewarding).

I'd definitely pick up the Orange box at $27 this week, but I already did. With HL2 you get several cool team-based shooters, plus Team Fortress 2.

I did buy most of the 99cent specials plus Red Orchestra.

Can't wait until Monday. Going to go the EB and use about $150 worth of gift cards, then come back and buy some really cheap games off Steam.

So far I have BioShock and Silent Hunter III on my Steam shortlist. Any other recommendations?

 

[Maniacal]

Mount&Blade

Red Orchestra
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Clear Sky as well since it's fairly cheap right now).

I bought STALKER on sale for $5 last weekend, played it a bit and I really liked it the little I played, also bought Bioshock the other day but my computer can't play it, but $5 is still a good deal even if I can't play it yet.

Hey, Silent Hunter III on Steam wouldn't have starforce on it right? I wanted to try it but never bothered since I didn't want Starforce wrecking my computer, and my computer's too old to play the new one besides I like Atlantic theatre better.

 

[Godwynn]

Silent Hunter III on my Steam shortlist. Any other recommendations?

Have you played it before? I didn't care for it. It is a lot of waiting for your submarine to sail (float? swim? sputter?) through the ocean.

Has anyone played World of Goo as I'm curious whether its worth the money?
