Bargain bin games might be worthy of its own thread. Not sales, but games people might have missed for whatever reason and are now relegated to the bowels of bargain bins everywhere.
Rage for PC got slagged on release, and probably rightfully so.At only $7.45 at Amazon, it's a pretty good game at a great price. I think it pops up on Steam on sale for $5, but I passed on it due to the 21GB download. A few minor .cfg tweaks gets rid of texture pop-in, and a few other tweaks sharpens textures somewhat and kills the gawdawful post-processing bloom that washes out a lot of areas. Combat and animations are excellent, but megatexture and vehicleanythingare complete ass; low-res textures up close distracts a bit, but it's still a good looking game. A worthy buy if you are bored of your current Steam libary and don't want to wait for the next sale and corpulent download.
Dirt 3 for PC. Grabbed this from Amazon for $11.47. Not a great game like Dirt 2, but still fun and nice to look at. Goes in and out of stock on Amazon, so wishlist it and check every few days or whatever.
merge with sales if this topic isn't threadworthy.
