They have titles for 1-2 £ !!!

I love sales lol. I bought Galactic Assault Prisoner of Power + Lost Empire Immortals for less than 10 euros from GG, and now this...damn good offers.

**MIG-31** · Dec 26, 2008, 07:06 PM

Sure is..

Bioshock for £3.50 That is one hell of a game and at that price you would be a total idiot to ignore it.. (That don't include VAT).

BlueMak · Dec 26, 2008, 07:09 PM

Yes, I just saw that, you can't ignore it for the price. Also, the strategy first collection, all their games for £33!!! I would get it if I didn't have most of them already lol.

Amazing offers.

swimtech · Dec 26, 2008, 07:15 PM

I bought bioshock when it was first released on steam.. and i have never stopped playing this game to date.(i have forgotten how many times i have run through this game)

For me its one of the most unique FPS on the market (at least on the day of it's release) and still enjoy bioshock now.. I just Envy those who pick it up at the price offered by steam..

It looks great on a 9600GT,And i am looking forward to see how it looks on a ATI 4870 in the near future...

Its been around four years or so since i last used an ATI G/C.. this will be the first opportunity to see how the ATI drivers handle..

Tril · Dec 26, 2008, 09:22 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I bought a few games.

**dj_stick** · Dec 26, 2008, 10:13 PM

definately going to get bioshock when i reboot into windows, btw Mig, it seems you've definately got your money's worth out of it even at full price

tanka12345 · Dec 27, 2008, 12:14 AM

Some GREAT deals there. Too bad I don't have access to a credit card, otherwise I'd buy alot of games and store them until I can actually play them.

BlueMak · Dec 27, 2008, 04:15 AM

I am almost out of money, I shouldn't buy anything.

I know I will regret it.

I bought a few.

Bioshock £3.49
Darkstar One £2.99
Birth of America £2.99
Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command £1.49
Painkiller gold edition £4.49
Sherlock Holmes - The Awakened £6.99

I might set up a Paypal account.

I've heard of it before, but never got round to making one. But probably now, as a second thought, I might not purchase them because I can't play them straight away, I'll need a new rig first. Otherwise if I do get round to getting some Steam games, I'll keep them ready for the day a new rig awakens.

Necrosis · Dec 27, 2008, 11:06 AM

I purchased Audiosurf for a couple of peeps.

Dont forget the steam has recently introduced the £'s for us UK members.The last game i bought from steam were COD.World at war when it was in $'s.VAT was added after the purchase was confirmed..Thats why i left the note in brackets.I did not know that was altered also.

Sounded good, but it's just not there. Maybe it's not available in this area, but that's strange, because IIRC a friend of mine bought it on Steam.

That my friend, is what parents and bank accounts are for

tanka12345 · Dec 27, 2008, 10:51 PM

I know, but I'm currently saving up for a new rig (eventually). And my parent's probably won't want to buy me those games, and if they did, I'd rather have the money put towards a new PC, because theres no point in having some games if I can't use them.

josh2thad · Dec 28, 2008, 09:57 PM

andddd... thats my second time buying bioshock.. but this time it was $45 cheaper :P

Nice.

Why'd you buy it again?

Lowfat · Dec 29, 2008, 12:38 AM

Ordered World of Goo and CS:S (yes still don't have it). Having a blast with World of Goo so far.

**dj_stick** · Dec 29, 2008, 01:03 AM

just got bioshock, though i might check out world of goo

RoyBatty · Dec 31, 2008, 09:07 AM

Bought Bioshock too. It took me more than hour to get it working - the game didn't start at all, freezing at the Bioshock splash screen. So I googled, tried almost everything and in the end I got it working by uninstalling OpenAL.

Zardon · Dec 31, 2008, 10:57 AM

make sure you all dont forget defense grid: the awakening. its a classic little title.
