Steam Deals and Digital Sales

Not sure if posted already but Amazon has All the Xcom games except the newest expansion Enemy Within for 9.99 with Steam Activation. This was one of the games I was looking for on steam so I'll probably pick this up.

Amazon.com: The XCOM Collection [Online Game Code]: Video Games

If you don't already own XCOM your best bet is to buyAmazon.com: XCOM EU and EW Pack [Online Game Code]: Video Games

You're essentially getting the base game for free and Enemy Within at the standard sale price.

Final Fantasy 7 for $4.03? Sold.

Wonder if Final Fantasy 8 and Baldur's Gate II will make it on the sale being newer games.

BG2 EE is on sale at GameFly for $13.39 right now. Considering it's a combined -33% and -20% discount, I doubt it will go lower anywhere else. (Use the GFDDEC20 coupon code during checkout to get the additional 20% off.)

EE is still inferior to BG Trilogy though!

Just get one of these if you already have 360 controllers.
Amazon.com: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows: Video Games

yeah I don't have a controller at all but thanks for the link. If I can't find a wired one I'll go wireless and just get that.

Payday 2 is worth $13.50 in my mind. It has a sense of tension that most online FPS games lack, imo. Plus you can go stealthy or loud for most maps.

I finally picked it up, and it's hard as fuck. Really have no idea what I'm doing.

Thumbs up on the BG EE series , fireball with no targeting ring is fun. Old gamer trick try it out someplace and use a ruler on the screen , till you get good )

No one buy Starforge. What a turd. It soured me on ever getting Early Access games on Steam.

For those that missed the gamefly sale, Xcom enemy within is on flash sale for 50% off. For some reason, Xcom enemy unknown is the one listed. But if you go to the Enemy Within page, it says it's on flash sale.

Is the Sleeping Dogs collection (base game + a bunch of DLC) worth an extra three bucks over the base game?

It's all cheater DLC except for Year of the Snake, Zodiac Tournament, and Nightmare in North Point... and you wouldn't be missing a whole lot if you skipped them too. Sleeping Dogs was a great game, but the DLC was just shameful.

Anyone seen Dark Souls on sale cheaper than steam ($10.49 or whatever)? Want to buy it for my brother since he keeps telling me it's so easy. If not I'll just buy it at Steam.

It's hit like $7.50 before on these sales.

if you got a free civ5 from the gmg deal a few weeks ago, you can upgrade to civ5 gold for $5 on steam

Lost Missions - ok, nothing special
Monkey Business - don't have it, heard the npc is annoying and the missions suck
Other two - cheater DLC (the vanilla M700 is already borderline game-breaking, and the DLC version is free, does more damage, comes with the silencer, and has more customization slots)

Put the $2.50 saved towards Blood Dragon imo.

Is Deus Ex: Human Revolution decent? I haven't played any of the series but have heard so many good things. Not sure if I really want to go all the way back to the first though.

It's pretty good. You don't have to play another of the others to enjoy it either. It's actually a prequel.

Note that the DXHR Director's Cut fixed the shitty boss fights in the original game, integrated the Missing Link DLC into the game at the proper point, and got rid of the piss-yellow fullscreen filter; however the developers are apparently retarded because the DC is missing a whole slew of bug fixes and visual upgrades from the game's patches. It's like they developed the DC off of the 1.0 release. Worse, it's been out for quite a while now and there's no sign of a DC patch at all so far.

Is Secret World worth 10 bucks?
