Unfortunately no. I think it might've been a mixup with Cthulhu Saves the World.

That's anyone's guess but, imo, if you've waited this long just wait until the Holiday sale and see if it dips to 75% off.

Damn, was hoping for a better price on Alan Wake. Might still pick up Home, though.

Still wish DS1&2 had a pack for $7.50.

Any of the Painkiller games any good? Haven't really heard of them before and would probably look over them, but their really cheap on Steam as well as on GamersGate.

1st Painkiller is awesome

If you have a GamersGate account with IGN discount you can get it for $8.50 there.

That's not the GhostBusters game he's referring to. This is the one, except it got pulled from Steam.


As for Overlord, it's kind of like Nintendo's Pikmin with a dash of evil thrown in. I can't say I liked it more than Pikmin, but it's interesting if you're looking for something different.

When I saw it on the deals on Steam this afternoon I got excited that it was this one and then I remembered it got pulled : ((

Yeah nothing is really interesting me game+price-wise. Only Dead Rising 2 at $7.50, did anyone bite on that? and Limbo - which I'm assuming will be in an Indie bundle sometime, or at least has been. Basically, is it a good time to get it or should I wait for a bundle.


Would like Fallout, Alan Wake, The WD, or Dead Island, but still not cheap enough for me.

How's Prototype?

Kinda tempted by Zombie Driver HD. I was hoping it would be on sale (normal version has been delisted from Steam Store) and was playing the demo last night. Having completed the original release, the demo for ZD HD was a bit surreal very similar but not quite as I remember. I was hoping for cheaper, and the demo made me feel that it hasn't been long enough since playing the original.

I really enjoyed Overlord/Raising Hell. You get to control a bunch of minions and cause havoc, "Sheepies!" It has surprisingly good/decent production values (I had low expectations). To be clear Raising Hell is an expansion to overlord that integrates into the base game (kinda like D2:LoD); it fixes some issues and adds some new areas. I haven't gotten far into Overlord 2 yet.

It was in Humble-5 back in June.

Overlord is a very poor man's Pikmin. It has all the flaws of Pikmin and none of the charm.

Damn, looked it up, that was a really good bundle.

Originally Posted by CheapLikeAFox Any opinions on Haunted House? Is it just a kids game?

I'd be interested in opinions on this one too.

I'm going to pick up Vampire but I'm going to wait until October 31 and see what Amazon has to offer.

Am I right to assume the deals we're seeing today are the same deals throughout the sale? As in no new deals in the next couple days?

This has probably been asked already, but are they having a new set of discounted games tomorrow and the day after?

It's a remake of the Atari 2600 game.

It doesn't really appear to necessarily be a kids' game.

Though, to be honest, I don't think it's a game that actually has an audience.

I'm not sure why it exists.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record - why's it rated so much lower? ain't it essentially the same game w/ improvements & more?

If you are ok with Origin, Amazon with have DS1&2 for $7.50 on Halloween.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll go with your suggestion and try the first one for now. I know it's not a big price difference between getting that and the whole set, but I that difference can be used to get another great game. Not sure what Amazon has coming up, so I'll want to save every dollar I can.

Retrospectively, when you can look at them now and get them for similar prices, yes.

At the time it was another example of Capcom releasing full price expansion content on disc that could easily have been a piece of DLC. I think that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
