    I'm not sure if you can get it through Steam but have you tried Lord of the Rings Online? It's a really nice MMORPG. Guild Wars (which IS available through Steam) is also really good-no fees to pay but the multiple campaigns and the expansion may hurt your wallet a little. lol

    Oh yea and if you haven't bought it already, get Dragon Age Origins. It's really good.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww(etc.)

    You actually bought that piece of crap? Even worse, for PC?

    I am joining: new to gaming but excited to learn and this seems like a great way to go -- at least I'll know the people kicking the c**p out of me! You can't have an Alienware and not game: should be in the purchase agreement.

    Pretty much every game is available through Steam. I like it because you don't need a CD installed and you can redownload your game at anytime on anymachine you log into.

    They also have some rediculous sales sometimes. I might pick up the Rockstar collection. It is every Rockstar game (all GTAs and some others like Manhunt) for $100.

    They are having 50% and 25% sales right now on a ton of titles. I might also get the Lucas Arts Premier pack.

    As for MMORPGs, I am currently playing Aion and it is pretty good if you can deal with the PvPvE and don't mind some grinding at the higher levels.

    I pre-ordered Aion, stopped the first month, just got bored so quick for me(lvl 45 sorc) and the amount of botters was ridiculous, but they just banned 27,000 users a few days ago.

    COD4 = AWESOME, MW2 = LAME. No servers, matchmaking is terrible and spotty at best, noobs who get pwn'd get a handicap, single player is AWESOME, but 4-5 hours will do it. Not even close to the package it's predecessor was, straight port form dumbed down console versions.

    THQ's sale is UBER epic ... getting it ! I was thinking on getting Company of Heroes' set, that alone was coming up to $50, so the deal is the steal ! ))


    By the way, I can pay and process everything today, but it doesn't mean that I have to download everything immediately , right ? It's just that I never bought a game from steam before ... Thx

    I have also been out of touch with PC gaming for a LONGGGG time, but I finally have a machine where I can game on.

    When I get my kb & mouse delivered, and my monitor arrives I wont be seeing much of the outside world for a while.

    COD4 and LFD2 will be two I am definitely getting, borderlands looks ok too, anyone played it and can comment??

    Wow , just saw the valve complete package for sale on steam and it looks EPIC! I think I will be buying that

    Anyway my SN = Jolli86 add me up, I should be set up and ready in the next week or so.

    Question about the Steam Sale... I'm at a public computer so would it be possible to say buy the titles now and just DL them once my M15x finally (if ever) arrives?

    Alright, so far I've bought Dragon Age Origins, Aion, Left 4 Dead 2, Far Cry 2, Dead Space & Grid.
    I'm hoping Steam will have a discount one of these comin days on Crysis, GTA4 & Resident Evil 5. After that I'll be satisfied ;)

    Now I'm just waiting for the laptop then it's GAME ON! xD

    Yes, you can buy them from anywhere and download them from anywhere and as many times as you need too. You just need to log into Steam from where ever you are.

    I am going to get the Rockstar collection, but I am going to watch for the next few days to see if it goes on sale.

    Can you buy and install all the games on the thq, lucas or rockstar packs at the sametime, or is there not enough memory in a 4g, are you able to install and download them all and have them ready on your desktop at all times or do you have to do a few at a time, Thanks

    You can have every single game in the steam library installed as long as you have enough hard drive space.

    Steam comes in handy if your on a long or extended buisness trip because you can download and install whatever game you are in the mood for on whatever computer you happen to have with you.

    I've never really used steam before. This is great because I am always installing and unistalling old games and I always lose the CD Keys... Gonna pick up the THQ pack and L4D2. Maybe even KOTOR because it is 3 dollars haha. I love sweet sales.

    The THQ pack is definitely tempting but of all the games listed I only play frontlines (already own it) and saints row 2.
