and while Valve prints money, what was supposed to be its biggest competitor is also thriving with sales and games:

Shadowrun for 50% off!!!??!!??!?!!?!?!?!

I'm SOOOOO there :P

 

Woot, 6 games for $18!



Around the Network

after such an awesome first day, obviously the second day isn't that great, but still good enough:

Left 4 Dead 2 for $33.50 (it goes down to $25 if you buy the bundle with 4 copies)

NFS: Shift for $37.50 (greedy EA!)

Football Manager 2010 for $29.99

Serious Sam HD for $9.99 (I don't really see a reason for an HD remake except for hyping Serious Sam 3, which btw is gonna be very different from the other games)

id Super Pack for $23.79, this one is one hell of a deal even if more than 80% of the games are from the last decade lol



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

I picked up Serious Sam HD as I can't get my original copy to work with Vista/ W7 (plus I want to kick the fuck out of herds of bulls with a cannon again...).

The id pack makes me feel sad. They've really done bugger all this century apart from Doom 3, which was pretty naff anyway.



I hope Left4Dead 2 on it's own (no bundle deal) goes down to $25 before this holiday sale is finished.

*edit* Should have also sprung for that $2.50 KoTR deal a while back.

C'mon, Batman, drop the price...



Second day was not great... :(

I picked up fahrenheit though. Want to see what all the fuzz was about.

As did I.

Especially since it was around the same price (maybe a little cheaper) as renting the PS2 version for two nights so I figured why not.

Mirror's Edge feels so good with a keyboard and mouse. Yea, I know it's obvious that it would be better, but I'm just remembering how much I tripped up over the controls when I played it on the PS3 last year. The Physx effects are nice as well even if they cause my 8800gt to chug a bit.

Never had a problem with the controls on the 360, but the screen tearing on the PC is horrible !
