Steam's holiday deals haven't become any less awesome over these last few days, and quite frankly, it's exhausting. I don't know how much more of my new life of blogging exclusively about videogame sales I can take.
This is what happens when everyone in the industry goes off duty; I lose my mind and you nice people go straight to the poorhouse after giving all of your disposable income to Steam and then some. Here's the new set for today:
- Medieval II: Total War - $4.99 (75% off)
- Street Fighter IV - $9.99 (75% off)
- Half-Life: Source - $2.49 (75% off)
- Shattered Horizon - $4.99 (75% off)
- Multiwinia + Darwinia - $2.99 (80% off)
- Crysis + Crysis Warhead - $13.59 (66% off)
The only one in the bunch I'm not a huge fan of is Half-Life, mostly because you'd have to pay me to play the game. It has not aged well, in my mind. Street Fighter IV is great on PC, considering it comes with Sakura Kong. Crysis and Shattered Horizon: if you have the hardware, do it! Everything else? Yes please!

... definitely just in your mind.

Love ya, Capcom
Yeah, there's always that.
Or you are waiting for Super Street Fighter IV? Need I remind everyone of that?
Still awesome that Steam is doing this though.
Or you rented it, realized a 9 year old just kicked your ass, and refuse to play it ever again. :P
What about people who don't have computers good enough to run it? Are they still legally retarded, then?
And all because I couldn't bear to wait a few more weeks for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
Beyond that the deals didn't really interest me since I've already played Crysis and Half Life was fun the first time on normal physics and graphics. The Source version is kind of a joke.
Looking forward to tomorrow's deals though.
I am pretty certain SecuROM's inclusion resulted in more people not purchasing than it prevented from pirating the games.
Just thought I'd add that when purchasing MW2 Total War, you're not buying the expansion pack.. which means certain awesome mods like Stainless Steel won't work properly UNLESS you use an older version of that mod.
That's one of those things you just wouldn't know until it's too late.
