    Nice! $25 for Fallout 3 w/ all 4 DLCs is a steal; Great game.
    Anyone who missed it should jump on this.

    I wonder what Steam's offerings will be..

    Any opinions on Prey? It has 83% on Gamerankings.

    The Void is supposedly not that bad.

    I'm quite tempted to go for it.

    same way, I think it's more about the community and features (download anywhere anytime with so much ease). Plus love for Valve.

    Is there a demo? I know it sold out when it was on sale on Steam during the Holidays. I think it was at $2.

    It's not bad. The combat and overall feeling reminds me of Doom 3.

    A word to the wise on The Void: A void. The gameplay is slow and needlessly drawn out with very little sense of direction or accomplishment. It felt more like a visual walk through an Alice-in-Wonderland type scape rather than an actual game - and only if Lewis Carroll included ample womanly charm on Alice (read: T'n'A) and rendered her fully nude in an attempt to tease the male reader.

    tl;dr: most boring game ever save for the fifteen minutes it takes for the artistic merit and novelty of full-frontal nudity to wear off and leave a game aching for any design.
