Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Is Ghostbusters any good?

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Yeah, it's pretty good, especially if you're a fan of the movies. $9.99 is a freaking steal, too

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Or at least, I should be downloading, but apparently, I'm not connected to the Internet.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Awesome sail, the THQ pack was
 makes you realize how good Steam is, only way forward & stops Piracy for the most part (online anyway, people get past singleplayer) I mean who else does a deal like Team Fortress for £2.49 during Halloween over a period of a few hours 3x in a week

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Man, I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread. I haven't checked Steam in a while. I picked up The Secret of Monkey Island, Mirror's Edge, and The Chronicles of Riddick games for under $20.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Thanks, Kez. Norton was blocking Steam from connecting to the net. I went ahead and bought Empire: Total War along with Ghostbusters. Unfortunately, I'll be at work all day & night tomorrow! I think I'm going to be a total recluse this weekend...

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Theres another one.
http://store.steampowered.com/ 75% off GTA4, not too shabby. Quad core only though, don't even think about purchasing if you own a duel core. |

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Jesus, those are some ridiculous prices. Looks like I'm finally gonna get Braid and possible GTA4 (even though I've already played it on my 360).

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Wow thanks for tip, Champions Online is only £9. I've been itching to try it since I didn't mind City Of Heroes/Villians when they where first released.. the steep price of £24.99 had put me off but I'll definatly give it a blast now I think.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Question, if I buy off Steam direct is it download only? ie no disc?
As I've just had a wee look & amazon has Champions for £9 also with a disc.. |

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Meh, I think I'll leave it then.. I'll buy the disc version as opposed to the download only.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
I prefer it, personally. Provided Steam never catastrophically fails, it's just as good as a disc.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
I don't mind download only for things like itunes or amazon music, but for something like a movie or game.. I'd prefare to have a disc.
I don't know why though.. perhaps I am a looney. EDIT - The difference to get a physical copy of the game is only 50p as well.. :-/ |

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
I hate Steam to be honest, I've had to install 3 games through their product & all 3 times I've had problems with it recognising codes..downloading patches etc etc
I've downloaded the Champions Online demo & the thing doesn't want to launch for some reason, icon appears in bottom right corner, champions online tab appears to be running in the start bar however nothing ever comes up.. Last edited by B; 12-23-2009 at 06:22 PM. |

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
I think you are probably the exception,
I've bought 176 games and never had a problem, come to think of it, it would be a good idea to back them up. |

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
Perhaps if I bought the games through steam they'd have no trouble installing or running but seeing as it took me a few hours to install Football Manager 2009 & Modern Warfare 2, I don't even wanna risk paying through them until I get something that works 1st time.

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
For some bizzare reason the Champions Online demo worked as soon as I tried it today... perhaps the PC sensed I had, had enough & was about to delete the sucker.
Its a bizzare game, much like the WoW demo I find it overly complicated to get into. I tried the City of Heroes demo originally & it was so easy to pick up & get straight into the game. This seems quite complicated & a lack of travel power from the start is highly irratatating. Looks like I'll wait for the DC Online game

Re: "Steams early holiday five day long sale"
I picked up STALKER, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Torchlight, Indigo Prophecy, and Braid all for about $25. I may even be forgetting a game or two in there. Steam's sales are so great.
