    The Steam Deal Thread V4! Insert witty comment here.

    Going out of town tomorrow and I'm not certain to have a reliable mobile connection. I'd appreciate feedback on whether I should bite now or take the chance of the following items going lower (and having access to Steam) tomorrow: Geometry Wars (currently 25% off) Mortal Kombat Kollection (33%...

    Amazon PCDD $15 Walking Dead, $10 TERA ($15 CE) + BOGO

    And now it looks like it's been dropped from the threads list of sale items. Bummer. I didn't even know it was available for PC until this thread, and was planning to buy it, and now.... It looks like it's available through the EA version of steam for $10 so I might still grab it. It looks like...

    Amazon PCDD $15 Walking Dead, $10 TERA ($15 CE) + BOGO

    I'm tempted to get NHL 09 but had a couple of questions - hope someone can help: 1. How bad is EA for PC? I've read a bit online and it sounds like they have DRM software running 24/7, even when the game is off. 2. Are there any custom rosters available on PC? I know there are for this version...

    The Steam Deal Thread V2 - Dig into those holiday games. V3 thread coming soon!

    I plan on picking up Magic the Gathering (new and old with all the packs, none of the foils or unlocks) and Bejeweled. Is this a good time to get them or is there a decent chance they'll be cheaper pretty soon. No hurry, new to Steam deals though.

    Handheld / Portable System for >$50, for 5YO

    I'm looking for a handheld / portable system for my son who is 5. He's just wanting something to play in his room. A DS is overkill for his needs and for my budget, even used. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion on what and where to buy. Pacman, Mario, and of the classic type games...

    Free Games on XBLA: Doritos Crash Course & Harm's Way

    Thanks OP! Harms Way didn't seem great to me, but it seems like it's geared towards multiplayer and I only briefly tried the single player mode. Crash Course is great! As some others have said it's not a very long game but it's a great half hour game, and one I'll probably revisit every few...

    Live DoTW Deadliest Warrior | READ OP FOR MORE

    I'm picking up Halo 1 at that price. The last time I played a FPS was on the PC back when Quake was new. (I tried Halo 3 when I first got my 360, but quit in frustration after 20 mins. and didn't pick it back up). I bought Madden Arcade today and couldn't believe how long the legal agreement...

    I'm slowly giving up gaming... For a game...

    I enjoy it. My kids (between 5 and 10) and I will go out every now and again and look for one. We started off trying to go to different schools or parks in our area to have something else to do - kind of make an afternoon of finding the cache then playing at the park. Its fun, gets us out of...

    Tekken 6 (PS3 / 360) $19.99 Amazon DotD

    $20 for this from games on demand and I'm in. SC4 is at $20 so hopefully this one will be too. (Only this one I'll buy, already have SC from the arcade and the update didn't bring enough to the table for me to upgrade).

    In for one, thanks OP. Anyone know if I'm going to be bombarded by junkmail now? I have an e-mail account dedicated to it but I hope I'm not going to be overworking my mailman.

    What's a good, similar alternative to Gmail?

    This isn't free but it may be worth it to avoid this problem... Buy a domain and have the e-mail forward to gmail. I can't explain how to set it up but I think for about $10-20 you can get started and own the address. If Google locks you out you can forward it elsewhere. And it's nifty! I...

    Any Google Android Users?

    I'm picking up my Droid tomorrow - I preordered from Best Buy. I've seen lots of must-have-apps lists but I'd be interested in what Cags things. Any great apps or games?

    Any Google Android Users?

    Thanks for the feedback all. I'm not a Best Buy rewards member, but I'd heard that they were out there so I went to the Sprint store thinking I could at least look at one - they had (according to the worthless lump of flesh I spoke to) no phones and no literature yet. I'm still really excited...

    XBLM - Deal of the Week -- Pinball FX 400MSP ($5)

    Are there better pinball games on the XBox for download - for overall quality and for value? I'm probably going to get this but if there's a killer one for download or a decent one on Indie Games I may check them out before biting.

    Any Google Android Users?

    I'm thinking of getting the HTC Hero from Sprint 10/11 - my current AT&T contract runs out the last week of September and I'm twitching to get a smartphone. The iPhone is obviously a contender but I'm really digging some of the stuff I've read about the Hero and Android in gereral. Can any...
