I bought dirt 2 on steam a month or two ago... for £29.99..

I can't leave Dirt 2 alone...

But for 9.99.. And if your into racers i'd definitely buy it..And even if you only like the occasional race from time to time... Its well worth the sale offer..

Great Graphics and runs very smooth also...

Must keep an eye out on this spring sale. Wish I could sneak peek on weeks 2-4.
Dirt 2 is well worth $10 even if you're not hugely into racing. I'm not and I'm playing with the keyboard, but there's enough variation and plenty of driving action to come back for a few races now and then. Graphics are gorgeous too.

ET3D

Thanks, BlueMak. I love sales!

The thing is, I have yet to finish Dirt 1. So I don't know, should I finish 1 before getting 2 or not.

You are welcome.


There are plenty of games on sale, but I either have them or not want them. I guess if I am able to get something nice each week I should be happy.

Unfortunately, many of the games are US limited. I thought of buying Fallout 3. Guess I'll wait for a Steam sale.

I only tried the Dirt 1 Demo and the performance were poor.. I had several Frame Rate lags with the demo.... I never bought the full game..

The Dirt 2 Demo was a diffent story and it convinced me to buy the full game..

Im not one to say Buy It While you can (as all gamers have different opinions or styles) all i can say if you like Dirt 1 then i would not turn down the sale price offerd from D2D..

BTW its £8.99 here in the uk.

Three? I know the US and UK ones (the UK has a UK only Fallout 3 that costs more in pounds than the US one in dollars).
Edit: Found the EU one. Much better price than the UK. Why would anyone from the UK buy at the UK site. Isn't the UK part of the EU?

Just...don't go there. Huge subject.

The prices are different for each game, so one game might be cheaper on one region, but another game be more expensive. So better look through all, and that the game is available in your region.

they are part of the EU, just don't have the same coin. That's probably why they are seperate.

Some times I don't "get" the reviewers.
I watched this YouTube - Dark Void Video Review by GameSpot
It's a gamespot review.
He blasts the game for being fun. That's how it sounds to me.
The review and how he attacks the game made me try the demo.
I had to fix the mouse controls a bit.
The game feels really good to fly and shoot, and on ground with the cover system.
I don't know why people complain about it.

Frak it, I am going to get it too.

Dark Void (d2d)
Zombie Driver (gg)
Lionheart Legacy of the Crusader (gog)

I hope I won't regret it tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing, and I'm in the US. I like to keep my games on Steam mostly, it's just easier. But $15 bucks is a good price for that game, I have to admit.

Hell, Between BF:BC2, Borderlands, Mass Effect 1, Batman, and a handfull of other games I've not completed, i have two years or better of gaming sitting on my system. I shouldn't buy anything new!

BlueMak

Nonsense! You always want more games! You know, in case something goes wrong and you can't buy more. At least that's my excuse.

As for Fallout 3, Gold is good, but it is not like the normal edition isn't big or anything...

I probably have two years of gaming if I don't do anything else but game. Which is why I try to limit myself to buying 10 games a month or so.

the more i play dirt 2.. the more i hate it...

personally think that while the graphics are amazing the game is a hunk of crap

I had high hopes for Lionheart back in the day, but it just sucked imo.

As for the one considering Fallout 3, you should probably get the GOTY edition.

Sweden's a part of EU as well and don't have the euro, still no .se version!

BlueMak

I just played some Clutch. Fun game and very 9.99 (which is what I spent on it)
It's like need for speed most wanted, only that you don't have traffic or police and have zombies in the streets. The city map is average size, not nearly as big as NFSMW and so far it is probably the only real negative point I can give it.
The driving is arcade like, like NSFMW, and the car, at least 2 I have tried so far, have supernatural grip. The graphics are good, not DX 10 good, but I guess, NFS MW good lol.
Hitting zombies is always fun and there are many missions and sidemissions that become available the more you play. Three of the types I played so far are checkpoint solo races, races against other survivors/mercenaries, and destruction derby kind of races that take place in special places.
It's fun, but I stopped it so that I try the other new games too.

Next game I tried was Dark Void. First of all, forget the mouse keyboard, it just sucks for this game and only because of lousy job by them.
Still, with the 360 wired controller the game plays like, well, it was designed to do so lol.
I am just before I reach a village (I think) and I don't know what some reviewers were complaining about, the ground action is superb even without the jetpack.

So far, very good gameplay, graphics and sound, the vertical covering system is done really well and the music is good enough I don't want to turn it off, which is rare for most games for me.

I just bought two copies of Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. How could I resist? It's got both "classic" and "2000" in its name, and it's just $2. One copy is not enough for that.

Really, I bought one copy for me and one for my brother in law. I talked to him and he said he thinks I gave him the game once but he had a problem with the controls. So I might have owned this game. Or maybe it was the original Alien vs. Predator, he wasn't sure. I'm certainly not sure, since my memory is pretty bad and I tend to buy things multiple times. I once almost bought the Plup Fiction DVD a third time, but luckily decided it might be a good idea to check at home if I already have it.

I have the demo for it and tried it. But, after 30 minutes of flying around, landing on several -- what looked like -- important areas and not finding anything to do, I quit. Don't have any idea what the objectives are.

Clue me in.

The demo hmm, let's see what I remember from it. First you have to destroy 3 radar dishes, then I think a few enemies flying.
After that hhmmn, there is a big structure on the ground in the middle of the map. You don't do anything there. But you take the way out of the eh canyon, through the middle eh canyon and there is a large structure at high altitude, hovering with a beam like thing from it. Or something like that. You need to land on that structure, where it has some crates. You fight your way inside it, go down and left or right, after a few enemies you will find a "computer" that you need to smash, then one more on the other side/other corridor. Then you exit the structure to the top (where you landed) and there is a sequence. IIRC that is the demo.

The full game is very fun so far. Well worth the $14 D2D sells it for. I don't know about full price yet, but at this price, I can't take anyone seriously who might say the game isn't worth it.
Hell, if the game continues to be this good, I will lose even more faith on most reviewers who blasted this game.
