St Marco Posted 20 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 20 December, 2010 http://store.steampowered.com/ They will go up on there eventually but the site is being killed. Probably best to wait i'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 20 December, 2010 Share Posted 20 December, 2010 (edited) Ffs, gonna end up spending loads. Or maybe not. Got GTA3, GTA Vice City, Battlefield Bad company 2 and Rome Total War for £18.55. Edited 20 December, 2010 by Saint_clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 21 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 21 December, 2010 Pretty sweet. They have Super Meat Boy for £3, it only released the other day and has a 90% metacritic score. It is a great game and is well addictive. Fear 2 for £2.49 is pretty good too! Hopefully FM11 gets put in the daily deals as still not picked it up yet.

Jonnyboy Posted 21 December, 2010 Share Posted 21 December, 2010 how long does the sale last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 21 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 21 December, 2010 The sale lasts until 2nd of January. But there are 2 types of sales. You got the titles that will stay reduced until the 2nd. Which tend to be older games. Then you got the daily sales which are newer games or games with a big reduction and that lasts only 24hrs. The new ones get put up at 6pm every day until the 2nd.

Jonnyboy Posted 21 December, 2010 Share Posted 21 December, 2010 why so cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 21 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 21 December, 2010 Because the games are digital copies not physical ones. And the various publishers know that the steam sales are really popular so they try and out do each other. Which is great for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint sfc Posted 21 December, 2010 Share Posted 21 December, 2010 Almost not worth downloading them illegally when they're that cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 22 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 22 December, 2010 They got the new Aliens Vs Predator as part of todays deals for about £3. Surely the game must be worth at least that? Just Cause 2 for a fiver and Bully for £2.50 is pretty awesome too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 22 December, 2010 Share Posted 22 December, 2010 AVP is worth it for that price, just for the alien campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 I am very out of the loop when it comes to games. Are there any games in the sale similar to Age of Empires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 20 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 December, 2012 I would say the Total War series was similar. They will be in the steam sales no doubt about it and will be cheap. I'd recomend Shogun 2 and Empire. But if you want more ancient era go for Medieval 2 or Rome. You can't go wrong with those games! Or Civilization 5.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 Cheers, I played the medieval one ages ago and loved it but the graphics kept crashing. Do you need any special graphics card to play them or would any with a new laptop be enough? (pretty high spec work one but doubtful graphics card is any good).

I'm no computer expert but I imagine you do need a decent ish pc to play them. At least the newer ones will as they are very detailed. But I think for Rome total war you should be ok. I imagine civ 5 should be ok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine Civ 5 might be in the sale as it's been around for a bit. Actually reinstalled it on my machine this morning and had a play - didn't realise it supported 3D Vision which added another twist to an excellent game! Not sure what I'm going to get - have already bought COD Black Ops II, Borderlands II and CSGO recently - however will definitely look out for a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Saint Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 Maybe time to pick up Skrim this holiday then! Could be expensive. Bought Skyrim a while ago and realised that it was GFX bound so bought a new GFX card (3D support etc). Then the card was so quick that Skyrim was bound by the CPU so had to upgrade the motherboard. Whilst I was doing all that thought I may as well get the 3D monitor and glasses to make it a real gaming experience. Yup, Skyrim is good but there could be consequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I'm going to get - have already bought COD Black Ops II, Borderlands II and CSGO recently - however will definitely look out for a bargain Forgot about Borderlands 2! There have been a lot of decent games out this year that should be in the sale There are a few more i'm hoping for like the new F1 game, Rayman Origins, Walking dead series, lego batman 2, Darksiders 2, Sleeping dogs, Dark Souls games, Torchlight 2, Dishonured, Hitman etc. Maybe pick up Resident Evil 6 if it is under a fiver.... The Call of duty games normally get their sale on xmas eve or xmas day. The old rule is never buy something that is not in the daily deal section because chances are it will be a daily deal eventually and be even cheaper.

Tractor_Saint Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 Just looking down my list of games I've got this year and these are probably worth a purchase if they are heavily discounted: Rayman Originals (St Marco reminded me!) Borderlands II Duke Nukem Forever (need a meaty machine) Skyrim Peggle Deluxe (love it!) Portal 2 (or if you can get both Portals for a good price) Civilization V Mind you, there are some decent games to install first if you want freebies: Trackmania (racing game) Team Fortress 2 Black Mesa Artic Combat Blacklight Retribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 20 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 December, 2012 (edited) Just noticed getgames are doing Batman Arkham city goty edition for £4.99 http://getgamesgo.com/product/batman-arkham-city-goty-edition Sure it will be in steam sale for around £3.75 so probably better to wait though Edited 20 December, 2012 by St Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor_Saint Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 And Civ V for under a tenner... why do I need to always buy a game as soon as it comes out?! ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 20 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 December, 2012 Remember though don't buy any unless they are in the flash sale as eventually they will get put in flash deals. If you buy something that isnt in there yet you run the risk of it getting discounted further. Last year they had FM12 for around a tenner. They change every 10 hours so just keep checking back. You can also vote for certain deals to be put up. Like right now you can vote for either Limbo, Braid or Monkey Island. All three of those games are amazing and will be major cheap i.e £2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Saint Posted 21 December, 2012 Share Posted 21 December, 2012 Monkey Island for £1.74 - woo hoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 22 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Got a smoking hot deal here for sleeping dogs limited edition http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sleeping-dogs-limited-edition-greenmangaming-66-off-with-code-7-14-3-cashback-4-1420528#post16631925 Go to greenmangaming, put game in cart, add code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 at checkout. Select £3 cashback means it works out at .......£4. Or choose the £4 credit option and works out at £3. Awesome!

pap Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 So far, I've picked up Tomb Raider ( 7.49 ), Wargame Airland Battle ( pricey at 14.99 ) and Dishonored ( £5.05 or something ). Feel a little guilty for not getting Tomb Raider when it was released. It's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
