Man, sales on Steam happen all the time, don't they? It's like they plan sales every weekend or something. Well, you won't hear me complaining. This weekend there are two awesome packs of games for a very low price on Steam. How much would you pay for both Freedom Force games or how about all of the X-Com games? $10 would be a deal, right? $5 would be an even bigger deal. Charging $2 would just be crazy.
The guys at Steam are crazy.
From now until Sunday night you can get either both Freedom Force games or every X-Com game for just $2. The X-Com bundle contains Apocalypse, Enforcer, Interceptor, Terror from the Deep, and UFO Defense. As if getting seven games for $4 wasn't enough, Steam is also offering up Tropico 3 for $13.60. Go forth and buy more games then you'll ever be able to play.
Freedom Force and X-Com Bundles $2 Each on Steam this Weekend [1Up]

I guess this is a decent enough fix.
Big fan of XCOM, but I don't own a copy of any of the games. I might pick this up...
@SunkiZt: The pack includes both the original game and the sequel.
It's a point and click RPG, but that's pretty much where the similarities between Freedom Force and Diablo/Torchlight end. In Freedom Force you control a squad, not just one guy. The gameplay consists mostly of pausing, giving each of your characters orders, unpausing, seeing your characters do some awesome shit, and pausing again to give more orders. That sounds really boring actually, but it's not; one of the most addictive things about this game is developing your characters in such a way that they complement each other in battle. There's a ton of characters and they each feel very unique. There's some real replayability, too. After your first couple of hours you'll realize that you should pick five or so characters to develop as your core squadron, and that means that on the next run-through you can pick another five.
Freedom Force seems like hell of a lot of fun.
But the first X-Com is a really deep strategy game, just a bit old. AND I get 5 games in X-Com pack.
Any advice?
XCOM, even just for UFO Defense, its the best one anyway. So many good memories :D
@ $2, everyone should be enjoying themselves with XCOM. No excuses now!
So buy it.
