Worth a buy at that price.

Does anybody have any opinions for the current community choice: Dreamfall?

Was able to get a few dollars & grabed Stalker clear skys. Odd playing a game where 2 steps = dead :u

The way I viewed the Stalker games; they absolutely hate you. These things do not want you playing them. They think of you as utter shit and will continue kicking your ass for roughly 4-6 hours until you finally get the hang of it.

After the insanely steep difficulty curve those, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

F5 is your friend.  Quicksave after EVERYTHING. Till you get a good suit, mutants and anomalies will destroy you.

[Eightball]

Damn. Sniper Elite V2, Alan Wake, and Witcher 2. Thoughts? I think Alan Wake will more or less be a buy at that price, but what about the other two?

Alan Wake is easily a buy at the price.  I greatly enjoyed it and I got the mini-sequel with the sale too.  Haven't beaten it, but it's very interesting.  Mr. Scratch is pretty awesome.

Personally, I found Sniper Elite V2 to be kinda shit.  I played it on Xbox and while the sniper mechanic is entertaining and reasonably interesting, the rest of the game is horribly generic.  I played for half an hour and just stopped, barely touched it, but I could tell it wasn't gonna be good for me.  Just my opinion though.

Witcher 2 is worth that price also.  It's a damn challenging, especially at the start, but it's a pretty well done non-linear action RPG.  Still need to beat it actually.

bought the games in the machinarium-maker bundle. Did not buy the bundle because I don't need a soundtrack cluttering my library.

[MC Fartlett]

Have only picked up Mirror's Edge so far, which I have played through many times on a pirated copy. The game never gets old for me though. I fucking wish I would have picked up SFIV when it was on sale...goddamnit.

You know the soundtrack is just placed in the game's folder and doesn't appear in your library, right?

[kaese]

I've bought: From Dust, Terraria, Hitman: Blood Money, Mirror's Edge, Fallout 3, and Prince of Persia
Only played Terraria so far...for 25 hrs the first 3 days. Then I stopped playing anything lol.

I saw Steam's warning about Fallout 3 not being optimized for Win7. Is it a huge problem? I assume there would be ways to fix/get around it.

I'm refusing to do business with the monster. My wallet is hurting from IRL hobbies enough.

You know if you don't buy enough merchandise/games from steam, Gabe Newell will turn into Bobby Kotik, and you don't want that to happen now do you?

[Luca Shoal]

Ahh, but if he doesn't keep buying Warhams, then GW will send a real live Tyranid to his house to fuck it up.

Also, I forgot I bought Just Cause 2, even tho I'm still on XP. It was like, 8bux with all the DLC. I just bought Fallout:NV ultimate last night too because fuck it I've waited long enough :V.

Excellent, thanks for the recs. Alan Wake pack and W2 will be bought when I get home.

Neither Scar nor I had any problems, but since I don't know the precise issue they're referring to, I can't guarantee that it'll be okay for everyone.
