I've played a good amount of MW2's multiplayer, and I haven't seen too much hacking. It definitely exists, and is annoying, but you can easily just back out of the match and go start another one. The single player for CoD4 is absolutely fantastic and is one of my favorite FPS SP campaigns ever...

Well I do know that there are some people who have gaming PCs primarily for PC exclusives (Starcraft 2, Witcher 2, etc) who sometimes say "pre-order sale, maybe I'll get this for my Xbox to relax on the couch". I'm just saying that if you're one those people that would be a mistake because...

This. I don't want to sound too fanboy-ish, but I can't imagine playing Oblivion on a console, Bethesda is like Valve in that way -- if all you have is an Xbox, you can play TF2, but you know that you're missing half of the game that way. Apparently Rage will have mod tools out of the box for...

SpaceChem is great, and I highly recommend it. It is perfect for making you feel really dumb as you stare at a puzzle -- and then making you feel like a goddamned genius when you figure it out. I think I actually fist-pumped once. It's also nice how there are multiple solutions to each level...

Good game. It has been cheaper though.

Does anyone know if Civ V has been cheaper than that before? I really don't have the time to play it right now, and I'm debating whether I should pick it up or wait for another sale.

Prior to about two weeks ago I thought I hated racing games. Maybe "hated" is to strong, but I was thoroughly indifferent to them. Then, on a whim, I bought Dirt 2 for $6 from D2D. I haven't been able to stop playing it. So yeah, if you're a rally fan, you already have this game. But even...

Sort of expected this, sounded like too good of a deal. Still I'll keep an eye on it. FIFA 11 for 50% next weekend is a nice though. I wish EA had more of their sports titles on PC. I've got some 360 controllers hooked up to my computer and FIFA and NBA 2K11 play great on it.

Not sure where all the complaining is coming from, console owners get great sales and credits and such from places like Wal-Mart that fail to include PC gamers all the time. Anyway, despite all the whining, $36 for BF3 is a fantastic deal. Seems too good to be true -- probably a mistake, and...

Thanks for this thread. D2D has been having some really nice deals recently -- that racing game sale was great (I've been having a surprising amount of fun with Dirt 2) and MoH for $7.50 was good too. Not too interested in Tropico, but I'll keep an eye on this thread.

I play the MP often. I had been playing nearly every night for the past month until I got Crysis 2 few days ago, I'll probably go back to MoH MP once I finish C2's singleplayer (which is surprisingly long!). The community is definitely small, but it's still alive. I never have trouble finding...

Lead and Gold is a great game. It's just too bad that the servers have been so dead lately. Hopefully the free weekend causes the scene to pick back up again.

As everyone else has said, "Limited Edition" is just the first run printing. I bought a copy of Medal of Honor for $20 a month ago and it still was the Limited Edition. So I wouldn't worry about it. And as for the host advantage in the multiplayer, this is exactly why dedicated servers are...

I'm not really into racing games but that is quite a deal on NFS HP. Does any one know how the PC port is? I'd probably be using a controller for the actual game, but are the menus navigable via mouse, are there graphics options, that kind of thing?

What you're looking for is The Quest. It's definitely a throwback to the old-school Wizardry-style RPGs. Good stuff, tons of content. There's a lite version too. Edit: I haven't played it on iPad, but it is universal.
