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 !

yea, vsync is my friend in this game.

Tried it and it doesn't help at all.

It's so much better on PC that it's almost ridiculous, I agree.

it helps for me and it's nowhere near as bad as something like Prey.

2009 is easily the year of PC Gaming. So many huge deals.

Oh man, I just downloaded 33 individual games I've been waiting to buy, all for the equivalent price of one new game ($53 US). All because they had this crazy deal. Thank you TellTale and LucasArts packs.

That TellTale pack was 153 dollars off! Though granted, 75% of that price was all the individual Sam & Max episodes...



Six upcoming games you should look into:

Damn, too many good deals. Yesterday I picked up S.T.A.L.K.E.R for $1.99 and now today I picked up the id Super Pack for $23.79! Excellent stuff.

I was thinking about getting the id super pack yesterday when it was like $45(or something) then I check today and it's the special! Sweet!

salaminizer on 25 December 2009

new round of deals, and after a "not so great" day, TODAY'S A GOOD DAY:

Battlefield 2 complete for $7.49

Kings' Bounty: Armored Princess for $9.99

Red Faction: Guerrilla for $9.99

Cogs for $1.99

Elf Bowling for $1.00

RE5 for $24.99

 



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Barozi on 25 December 2009

Only got Cogs today.

Very good deal for Battlefield 2 and probably also King's Bounty.

Though I could find Red Faction and especially RE5 for a much cheaper price. That makes me think that new games on Steam are always overpriced and even when they're discounted they cost too much.
