Steam sale, day 5: Riddick, Mirror's Edge, and more photo

Sadly, today marks the last day of Steam's holiday sale. With a few games dropped down to below $5.00, Valve is going out with a bang. There's no denying it.

  • The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition for $2.49
  • Dawn of Discovery for $34.99
  • Section 8 for $24.99
  • The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for $9.99
  • Quantz for $2.00
  • Evil Genius for $2.49
  • Mirror's Edge for $5.00
  • Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for $20.99

If I had room in the headline to do so, I would have given Evil Genius some much-needed love. Give that one some serious consideration if you're feeling diabolic and have a whopping $2.49 to spare.

And since this is loosely related to the subject matter, did anyone else watch The Chronicles of Riddick over the long weekend? Yep, it was on TV. Riddick totally choked a dude without looking, stabbed a guy in the head, and then said some cool one-liners.

It was way less badass than I'm making it out to be. I still love you anyway, Vin.

They could have done better on Riddick, D2D sold it for $5 during their anniversary sale.

I might buy Mirrors Edge.

Riddick
Mirror's Edge
Call of Juarez BiB
Monkey Island

All 4 of those are worth more than they are asking and anyone without them should grab 'em.

Unfortunately I own them all already. Dawn of Discovery might have been a GO for $20 or so, but not $35.

Mirror's Edge is probably the best deal of the year.

I would definitely encourage people to pick up Mirror's Edge. That is a steal.

I warning on Riddick, it has a 3 time installation limit.

Already own Mirror's Edge and the 3 installations on Riddick mean that's a no-go.

I'm totally picking up Quantz, Mirror's Edge, SMI, and Evil Genius.

Also, for the love of Gob, if you're going to get one game off of Steam for today's deal, make it Evil Genius. I cannot recommend that game enough.

Might have to check out Evil Genius.

And I always thought that The Chronicles of Riddick (movie)--while not as classic as Pitch Black or as refined as Butcher Bay--is a great sci-fi movie, and worthy of the Riddick name.

Well, you just sold a copy. It's £1.74, can't really go wrong I guess.

The fact that Evil Genius is never going to get an improved sequel is a travesty.

I do not like "Mirror's Edge", but at $5, if you're even remotely interested in that game, you should definitely get it.
"Dark Athena" is a steal at that price (if you've never played the original Riddick game, that is), same goes for Monkey Island.
Actually, I'm thinking about reinstalling Steam just for that Monkey Island deal...

Fun fact. You may have wondered why it just says "2!" on the front of Quantz instead of an actual price. That's because the game is £2, $2 and €2. Presumably they didn't want to emphasize the fact that it was more expensive depending on where you live.

Oh well.

Vin and a team are working on setting up the next Riddick movie for production! And in honor of all this, I will be buying Assault on Dark Athena. I rented it and beat it on the xbox the other day but I haven't tried it online so here's my chance.

Steam must be slammed, my downloads are going extra extra slow today. I picked up Evil Genius and am on the fence about Monkey Island or Mirror's Edge...

Is Section 8 worth getting? I was slightly interested when I downloaded the beta, but I never had a chance to actually try it out.
