thanks for all the posts, i won't reply to them individually, but rest assured i read through em all, came up with a few more games i now want to get, as well as a reminder of some games i want to reinstall (starcraft/warcraft3+expansion)..

Bioshock is tempting at that price, i'll think about it for a while.. i don't have Steam though, so i'm unsure: is that price exclusive to USA?

looks like orange box is also a popular choice... it seems as though i do indeed have no choice in the matter

thanks again for all the posts thus far.. i've added about 10 games to my 'must buy' list already, and others to my 'down the track' list :P

 

EDIT: pshh.. solitaire and minesweeper? why play them when i can enjoy the uber graphics of 4D 3D pinball?

Bioshock is 50% off on Steam in all regions, Australia too. Though since Australia's currency is different than US dollars, then it probably isn't $15 there. But you have to buy the game soon on Steam, because the deal ends on 28th of July (tomorrow)

Any PC gamer should have Steam. It's fairly non-intrusive, and only takes up around 20Mb of RAM atmost. It has alot of advantages too, such as auto-patching, and not needing disks to play the steam games. And yes, you can play offline on Steam, and you can backup your games on disks if you want to.
