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

    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...

    Rage & Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 54.99 for Xbox 360 & PS3 at Amazon.com pre-order price

    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...

    Rage & Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 54.99 for Xbox 360 & PS3 at Amazon.com pre-order price

    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...

    Steam Deal Thread V1 - Thread closed. See V2 thread for the deals!

    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...

    Medal of Honor (PC) $15 at Direct2Drive.

    Good game. It has been cheaper though.

    Direct2Drive - 30 Days of Deal$: Two Worlds II - $24.98

    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.

    Direct2Drive - 30 Days of Deal$: Two Worlds II - $24.98

    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...

    EA Store Downloads - April Weekend Sales Schedule

    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.

    EA Store Downloads - April Weekend Sales Schedule

    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...

    Direct2Drive - 30 Days of Deal$: Two Worlds II - $24.98

    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.

    D2D Medal of Honor

    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...

    Steam Deal Thread V1 - Thread closed. See V2 thread for the deals!

    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.

    Crysis 2 (PS3/Xbox) $53.99 + $10 credit at Amazon

    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...

    [DEAD] D2D (PC) Racing Games on Sale + 20% off code, NFS:HP=$12, Dirt 2=$4, and more!

    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?

    iPod Touch\iPhone\iPad -- Ongoing App Sales

    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.

    Portal 2 PS3/Xbox $55 + $20 Egift Card at Walmart.com

    So you can make a PSN account on someone else's PS3 with no problem? (sorry for the dumb-sounding question, I have no experience with PSN). I do have a friend with a PS3 ... it actually might come down to impatience -- he's often busy and I'm not sure if I'll want to wait with an unusable game...

    I really wish the Peggle Nights in-app-purchase was reduced too. Ridiculous.

    Portal 2 PS3/Xbox $55 + $20 Egift Card at Walmart.com

    Yeah, but what if I don't have a PS3? I have a feeling that to get the PC version you're going to need to link it to a PSN account somehow. I wish this deal was good for PC too, as that's where I want to play it (would never play a Valve game on a console).

    iPod Touch\iPhone\iPad -- Ongoing App Sales

    Yes. Apple baffles me. Sometimes they get the design of their software so right, where something works exactly the way it should always have worked and didn't on other platforms, and other times you just can't understand what they were thinking, where even the most bare-bones...

    Steam Deal Thread V1 - Thread closed. See V2 thread for the deals!

    I believe the primary issue with the PC port was optimization, so if you have a powerful computer (which you do), you should be fine. I have a computer that's a good bit weaker than yours that ran it fine -- my FPS were not fantastic (as low as Crysis's, without looking nearly as good), but I...
