Wow great deal. I've never played GTAIII, though I might just get GTA: Vice City, because that's my all-time favorite and I've never owned it on PC.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

GTA 1, GTA 2, and Wild Metal are already free from Rockstar, but it is still a good deal.

just bought vice city last night, for 5 bucks you cannot beat that and it downloads real fast.

Those games are listed as N/A separately, so I assume those don't factor into any pricing, you only get them when you buy one of the packages.

The only down side of these weekend Steam deals is that they have me buying games I had about zero interest in playing on the PC if it weren't for the fact that they were practically being given away.

The comprehensive collection of iD games?

"All these games for $30? Sweet!"
"Yeah, but I haven't liked anything from iD since the original Doom."
"But it's $30"
"$30? Sold!"

Rock Star collection?

"That's a lot of games for $30"
"Yeah, but I didn't even like playing any of the GTA games on the PS2, and Manhunt? WTF? The only crap missing from this collection is State of Emergency."
"Wait, did you say $30? Sold!"

At least it means I can play through Max Payne again, with optimal resolutions and effects, even through I never bothered to finish the original on the PS2 years ago.

The day Steam does a Half Life or Valve games collection weekend sale, I'll be all over that, even if it means buying several games I already own, just so I can have them available through my Steam account.

I'm sure they will someday...I mean...they already have the "Valve Complete Pack" which is every Valve game ever made so far, and that's $99...a savings of $90.

That's Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat, Deathmatch Classic, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Ricochet, Half-Life, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Peggle Extreme for $99...imagine a 50% deal there! $50 for ALL those games? It's absurd but Valve does give crazy deals sometimes.

Every Valve game can be linked to your Steam account.  So you already have them available through your Steam account if you input the CD key that came with the game.  This allows you to download the game off of Steam instead of using the CD/DVD to install it.  This is one feature that I wish every game I bought at retail had that was also on Steam.  I love Steam, but I love having a boxed copy more.

It's nice to have the boxed copy as an installer, but having to have the disc present in drive while playing... it's a bit of a toss up.

I like the juke box approach to PC gaming, just as I prefer using iTunes to CDs.

I have games that are linked to Steam, some of which are not available on Steam (great selection, but very far from being all inclusive), but they still require the disk in drive to play.

For games that are available through Steam that allow you to download prior retail purchases using the same key; great. Best of both worlds. Unfortunately, most games aren't in this category.

Of course, any Valve games would though...
