The steam christmas sale has BEGUN

[mr_woo]

I've not heard a good thing about Gothic 3 since release, sadly.

Tempted to pick up Killing Floor though. Is it good with randoms?

I've been playing Killing Floor since last night when I bought it and so far playing with randoms hasn't been too bad at all, in fact I honestly haven't seen too much idiocy so far but of course that could easily change. The game itself is really fun as well, the guns especially have real weight and kick to them.

[Vimster]

Hmm okay.

Plumped for Riddick, Alien Shooter 2 Reloaded, Sniper Elite and Eufloria. More games! Yet Riddick is 10gb! Crikey.

[James Lyon]

Gothic 3 - I recommend you avoid it (even though its cheap):

There are a lot of bugs, yes, but there's a good game underneath. Like all the Gothic games, you have to chip away to find it, though. I love its environment and if you avoid the more persistently murderous beasts and the occasional bug where you drop out the world, it's great to explore.

Yay, Outrun 2006 Coast2Coast for £1.24! I'm so glad I didn't get the version on XBLA earlier this year for 800 points. This is more full-featured, just as I remember from the old Xbox. Graphics look really old at such a high resolution though!

Damn steam sale! Picked up Cogs and Armoured Princess too now

That's 3 days in a row of getting games now :-(

[Naysonymous]

Only another 8 days to go too.

Do the new deals get announced at 5pm? I have only nabbed Torchlight (£7.50) so far.

[Schnibbles]

Judging by the timer, yes they do.

[Sabreman]

Cogs is quite lovely

[Schnibbles]

It's lovely and then you get to the cube bits and your mind goes AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Well, not the first cube, that's a reasonably simple puzzle, but they get bloody stupid.

It's getting to the stage for me where I've got to leave it a few hours after seeing the latest updates. Then if I'm not hankering after half a day it doesn't get bought.

[krenzler]

Watched a U-Tube vid. Cogs purchased. Would be silly not to @ 1,79€.

[Mr.Crowley]

I've been playing Evil Genius since yesterday, and it's great fun. It basically is "No One Lives Forever: The Strategy Game".

Highly recommended.

[SaintM]

T-minus 3 minutes and counting..

It's pretty good, and the trap system is very interesting, but its treacle-slow speed really put me off. No way to speed things up means you often get stuck with boring stuff.

[Mortis]

Dragon Age Origins - £22.49

Prototype - £12.49

Universe at War Earth Assault - £3.74

Lumines Base+advance pack - £1.79

Star Wars Premier Pack - £17.99

Torchlight - £3.74

Anyone that hasn't grabbed Torchlight yet - it's one of the best Diablo clones out there and well worth a few quid.

EDIT - SW Premier pack price fixed

[Uzi]

Torchlight is £3.50! A bit of a smack to those who bought it for £7.50 just a day or two ago! But worth the cash either way

[Rudi von Starnberg]

Jesus, Torchlight for that price! I'm not one of its disciples like some here, but it's a good game and it deserves buying.

If you don't have Dragon Age yet, it's worth getting too, although you may be able to get it cheaper on ShopTo or one of these places.

[despotdines]

A fairly disappointing listing today, compared with the others we've seen so far.

[Mortis]

Lumines and Torchlight for around £5 - what are you smoking!!!!

[Jasberfloob]

Steam Bastards!!!! I only bought Torchlight late on Xmas eve and the damn thing didn't finish downloading til yesterday afternoon

Definately not buying anything else now out of protest!

[junior]

Star Wars Premier Pack - £7.24

Why does this show as £17.99 here?

[Mortis]

Was showing at £7.24 when the page 1st refreshed but seems to have been a misprice that now has been fixed. Post edited.

[Rudi von Starnberg]

Looking at it, that Star Wars pack is a great deal even at £17.99. KOTOR, Republic Commando, and the Jedi Knight games together for that much is a good deal if you don't have them already.

[chris on the moon]

eh i tried the demo of torchlight a few days ago but i got bored very quickly

[Sigourney Beaver]

Fuckers. They shouldn't reduce things that have been in once. Good case for a refund, that.

[Vimster]

Fuckers. They shouldn't reduce things that have been in once. Good case for a refund, that.

I don't like these daily deals for that reason. Who knows what else I've bought will get reduced again.

The Lumines pack for less than £2 is fantastic. I bought that for £7.99 when it was about to hit Steam and thought it wasn't bad then.

[Unofficial Who]

I'm a bit miffed about Torchlight and Dragon Age myself but these things happen.

Today I bought Lumines and Republic Commando. (The individual titles in the oacks are marked down as well so it's well worth looking if you have some gaps.)

[SaintM]

Chances are that unless the game stays the same price for ever, someone paid more or less than you.

What difference does it make to the buyer if it becomes cheaper after they bought at a price they deemed worthwhile at the time?

[spork]

I just bought myself Torchlight, Braid and the Lumines pack for a total of 7.57. Bargain!
