PC download deals: Dead Space, Civilization photo

Though the games have been featured time and time again on Steam, I always feel compelled to give them a nod of approval. Yes, Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are once again on sale, with this particular discount bringing them down to $5 each. Are you going to cave in yet? No? Okay.

Then we've got Amazon selling Civilization IV: The Complete Edition and Civilization V for $8.99 a pop. Whenever I point out that a time sink of a game is being discounted, I feel like that fictitious (?) guy with the trench coat who sells inappropriate wares to children. I regret nothing!

They're not 5 each, they're 2,50 for DS and 7,50 for DS2.

Niice. I've been waiting for a good price on a digital copy of Civ IV for my (driveless) laptop for a while. Looks like I'm happily buying this game one more time.

The fact that a used copy of Dead Space 2 at GameStop costs $25 is laughable at the point.

@Tobbii

Unless Steam's purchasing page is outright lying to me, I'm seeing $5 for Dead Space 2.

Best deal I've seen this week is for The Darkness II. GreenManGaming has it for a $38 preorder. And it activates on Steam. I haven't bitten yet, though... kinda hoping they still have the deal when the demo gets released. Even at that price I hate the risk of preordering and finding out a game is garbage.

Mass Effect 1&2 are $5 each on GamersGate. No indication of how long that lasts, might just be for today (Friday).

I've been keeping an eye on the game download store on Amazon. For all Steamworks titles (ie titles that activate on Steam) they seem to be matching Steam's own prices (ie Dead Space 1&2 are $5 there, too). They had some good deals of their own over Christmas, so I keep an eye on the site.

Huh, okay. Then Europe is weird, because ours are 2,50EUR and 7,50EUR.

Part of me wants to get dead space 2 for 5 because I did enjoy the first one. But I just don't know if it's worth it with my already cluttered backlog.

It's so fucking worth it. I enjoyed the single player so much I played it instantly again after i beat it on hard.

It reminds me so fucking much of Resident Evil 4, my favorite game. I played my first run as a plasma cutter run just like my Red 9 run in Resident Evil 4 and it was fun as fuck.

The second game has a lot more jump scares and their a tons more children to slaughter. You get a lot more smaller enemies to tear into and it's so satisfying slicing limbs left and right and stomping in children's faces. It's pure beauty.

Hmmm I do not know if I should get Civ 5? I just got done with a round of Civ 4 moments ago. Then I see this....hmmm...

Is the base game worth it D-toid?

Civ 5 is meh, I would definitely pick up Civ 4 though. Cive 5 would have been great too, but all the fucking nations are DLC. WTF
