Wow, Fallout New Vegas 70% off. I've never played a fallout game before, but for $15 this is a pretty good deal, yea? Also thinking about buying Trine since it's so cheap.

Not a fan of bully, bad baaaad console port.

All I really recommend is Trine, and Frozen Synapse. Careful with Frozen Synapse though, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, look in to it and see if it's the kind of game you like. . . Same with Bionic commando rearmed.

Gonna pick up the mount and blade pack myself.

As a side note, im really sad codemasters don't seem to be involving themselves in the sale

I was really hoping for a dirt 3 special

Bully is a pretty good game. But I suggest picking it up for the 360 or something if you really want to play it. The PC port is one of the worst ever released and still suffers from slowdown/crashes even after multiple patches. Also you'll need your own gamepad, or spend a long time remapping the keys. The default ones are *horrendous* for PC users.

Trine is on sale today for a ridiculously low price. Get it if you don't own it already, it's a wonderful jump/puzzle game with amazing graphics, sound and atmosphere.

I'm currently playing it, and it's disappointing compared to my impressions after playing the demo once it was released. You have to beat the game to pick very hard, and hard isn't actually hard. That design choice of locking away a mode simply to have unlockables as a feature might be annoying me more than it should, but it's really dumb. There are checkpoints everywhere that revive your characters and you lose no progress. The narrator that was so cool at the start of the game is also relegated solely to the loading screens between levels. Still, I had great expectations for Trine, so me being disappointed in it doesn't mean that it's bad.

It doesn't, but you shouldn't care either way because the odds of winning are miniscule.

It's $10 at Best Buy. Cheaper and you wouldn't have to wait for the crazy long download

I wouldn't recommend getting a Mount and Blade "pack". There's basically no reason to own more than one of those games. There is no story to speak of in the campaign, it's just open world, so just getting the best version of that open world and the latest multiplayer version is the only thing that matters. Basically I'm saying just get the newest one or maybe Warband if you hate guns or something. Having said that, I definitely recommend playing a Mount and Blade game. They are awesome.

Trine is a pretty fun platformer. For only 2 Euro's it is a steal. You probably won't invest a lot of time in it and it is not too difficult but there are some fun puzzles in it!

If you want to play Mount&Blade definitely go for Warband because it still has a very good and active modding community and multiplayer mods like crpg are great fun.

I'm going for Trine today. I've never heard of this game before but it looks very promising and for only 2€ it almost a crime not to get it.

Oh, if you haven't played it, do get Doom³ (didn't see it either due to restricted Steam content in Germany). It's a highly entertaining and very atmospheric game and I had more fun playing it than I had with Half-Life 2 back then.

Actually, there is a mod for Warband called cRPG where you have a persistent character, level up and fight up to 40 vs 40 battles.

It is pretty epic.

I just heard about this and cant wait to try it out! Everyone on reddit said to ignore the other games in the pack so I just bought Warband. Apparently you can add most of the features in Fire and Sword through mods.
