Just a heads up to everyone about this:
http://store.steampowered.com/early-holiday
A new set of games are having their prices slashed every day and most of them seem to be pretty recent A+ quality titles. Run my children and give valve your money so that Episode 3 might come out faster!

already got that THQ pack earlier for 50 bux, so far sorely disappointed by dawn of war II, but overall seems like very good value for the amount of games in it.

Damn, just spent my cash for the month, that THQ pack is pure bargain.
Must pay more attention to steam

Are those prices only for today? When did the promo start? Seems like some good offers...can't believe the price of DA:O on there, and they are A grade titles. That THQ pack seems pretty great value. Does it have all the WH:DoW games/exps? Seems to be missing Stalker: Clear Sky tho. Is Far Cry 2 worth it? And what happens on steam if you get a package that contains a game you already have? -------------

Edited by: Tara Moss on 26/11/2009 10:35:39 Just bought Dragon Age: Origins for 25% discount.
Also got Osmos for $2. What a little gem of a game.
Anyhoo, when Steam says 1 day only they tend to mean it so you'd best hurry if you want in on the action.

You can gift the 2nd copy to a friend who has steam, it comes up with a little 'gift game' button after you install the game.

I have two copies of HL2 and there will come something up, that you cannot miss in the games tab, a button of some sort that lets you transfer it to anyones account. Pretty much straight forward.

I'm now no longer regretting not purchasing GRID when it was on offer at ú7.50 a few months ago, except that the difference in price is less than what my current ISP charges for the bandwidth needed to download it  |

Thanks Tralna and TRD. I went ahead and got Osmos, GRID and the THQ pack, but despite owning Saints Row II already before today, nothing has appeared on the games tab to give any indication of that. Will keep my eyes on it and Email their support if it doesn't change. No point in letting it be wasted, would rather give it to a friend. So much gaming, not enough time The THQ pack at least is a great offer....whole lot for less than the price of just one game by itself. I forwent Far Cry 2, couldn't decide if it was worth it. Oh well, let's see what the other 4 days have to offer! Originally by: Xanos Blackpaw How hard is dragon age: orgins on the computer? mine is oldish but i can run things like eve and oblivion...fallout 3 work good to.
Oblivion, and F3 (which I beleive uses more or less the same engine) aren't particularly intensive for current gen GFX cards, and Eve not much more so if at all. DA:O is current gen in every way so will tax an older GFX card if you have it set to high. There is room for playing with GFX settings however so I don't doubt you'll be able to run it, you might however have to lower a few things. But take my word for it, it's a great game that's well worth buying particularly at the price on offer. Hell if I had to I would build a PC just to play it on. I paid ú40 for it as a pre-order (and ú35 for Champions they're selling for ú12.50) so it's a very good price. -------------

Also, one very important thing about Dragon Age: Origins- It is currently suffering a horrible memory leak. After 1-2 hours of play loading times start taking forever and the graphics get a lil choppy sometimes. Tabbing out of the game for 10 seconds and back in fixes it for me and is faster than restarting the whole game. So if that happens, its not your computer being underpowered, its just an annoying memory leak bioware is trying to fix

The sale itself lasts for five days, but in segments of 30 hour deals it seems.

Based on the great fun that Mass Effect has been that I got for $9 off steam I went ahead and got the deluxe DA for $47 especially as one of the armors can be used in Mass 2 which I will definitely be getting.

Negative! You can only do this for a couple of the Valve packs, like the Orange box. I bought the THQ complete pack, and already owned Saints Row 2, didn't get another copy to gift away unfortunately.

You paid for another copy essentially, have him pirate it

If your really wanting to give a friend that extra copy then contact steam support seeing as you did pay for it. They were very helpful in getting my three guest passes for shattered horizon when they didn't show up in the gift menu.

Well we won't be seeing him back here for a while. We can all start talking about him behind his back now! *natter natter mumble mumble nudge nudge wink wink say no more* Originally by: Tara Moss I'm tempted to get Dead Space (50% off) but it sounds awefully scary.

Get it! It's really good. It'll shock/startle a little at first but after a while you'll get the Doom III effect where you stop being surprised after a time. It's nicely atmospheric tho and plays well, along the lines of RE4/5. The limb thing is novel and takes surprisingly little time to get used to...and every now and then you'll still instinctively aim for the head...
It's not a chilling, finger down your spine horror like FEAR, much closer to the RE style. Dammit, I think I might buy it now for PC despite having it on 360 already... -------------

Hey now I'm taking breaks every so often to watch Serenity / play TF2. I just bought L4D2 and currently shoping for a good monitor.
Anyway, back to losing my life. I want to buy ME2 for PC, since I seem to like it better on PC than when I had ME 1 on my xbox, but I want to continue my save from that game :( ________________________________________________

EDIT: Is L4D2 worth the asking price? Is it a good MP coop game? Can you join random games, or only with friends? Can anyone compare it with Borderlands for MP coop fun?
Alright KG I bought it.
But by god if I **** my pants I'll be sending you the laundry bill! Isk is acceptable.
