    Very tempted to jump on the Sega Deal, with Empire Total War, Medieval II, Medieval II : Kingdoms, Rome : Alexander and Rome Total war gold all that for £13.60 - very very tempted!

    or the whole package - £50 for ALOT of games. 1 question i already have FM2010 could i like trade it with someone else? like send it to them as a gift on its own and they just either give me like £10 or something via Paypal or maybe a different cheapish game

    i just though i would let you guys know just in case anyone was wondering on buying sega all stars racing game. firstly the game is real fun and a well rounded racer. it copies mario cart but that is a real good thing here :D. anyway what you should know though is that the game has no online multiplayer. sega drank too much funny juice i guess and took it out of the pc version. it does have splitscreen multiplayer for up to four players ( i found that odd for a pc game lol)

    Anyone getting the sega complete pack for only 89USD?

    Personally, i find that its a steal! For over 20+ games, i find that it is worth a single bit of every penny i have.

    So many games which i am interested in like AVP, the whole total war series, football manager and the RTS games.

    Just picked it up! :D

    I had a copy in my house...one of the CD's was busted so couldn't install, plus I get the expansions so its a win/win.

    Now i'll do like I did when I first bought it, play in the dark with headphones on have the crap scared out of me at regular intervals. :cool:

    Pls...NO ONE get the Grey's Anatomy game. I made the mistake of getting it for a friend off the shelf (retail) without checking reviews. Big mistake. A metacritic score of 36/100 is charity.

    If Ubisoft paid you $5 to play the game, you'd still be getting ripped off! I kid you not. Paying $29.99 for this is ridiculous.

    All IMHO and my $0.02.

    Me too.

    Also, just noticed this new deal! Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Elite Echelon Edition for $45.99! Originally $94.96! Comes with Conviction and the three other latest splinter cell games. Might have to jump on this too.

    yep-splinter cell--even if conviction is short and some would say disappointing--getting the lot for $45.99 should result in much time killing. i am downloading now.

    Wow, what a deal.

    I loved Convictions, but the damn thing was SO short. But I will admit, you get a LOT of play time with the Deniable Ops.

    Bethesda Weekend sales!!

    Fallout 3: GOTY - $24.99 (50% off)
    Oblivion Goty: $8.50 (66% off)
    Morrowind Goty: $5 (75% off)

    awesome deals, FO3 IMO is a bit high still for a two year old game, would bite at $15 since it's not a title I would play ASAP, but still a great deal.

    Oblivion is just a terrific game in itself, beaten on 360, I would love to have it on Steam though, plus never did Shimmering Isles

    I haven't used steam before. I'm currently on a mac, but I'm getting a new laptop for gaming / college this summer. Would I be able to buy a game on steam now, and just not download it or anything, and have it to download later once I get my laptop? I was planning on getting oblivion anyways, and thats an insane price.

    god im blind as a bat - how did i not see the GOTYE next to it lol
    very good deal for one of the best games value wise, the amount of mods you can get it endless!

    i have to admit i am tempted to get this again, had it on console, got it on PC before i re-installed my OS only to find out that i lost the disc and serial :(

    oh I totally understand that. I acknowledged it's a great deal considering the DLC is $50 in retail value, but still I view Fo3 as GOTY or bust, so $25 or nothing, is up there TO ME considering it wouldn't be bought and played right now..

    as for Oblivion GOTY, once I get my paycheck tomorrow, I feel it's a no brainer. Beaten already but never went through with mods as I played on 360... with all the DLC included with SI, I think I could have some fun with this.

    There is already some major hating going on in the TF2 Steam forums over Mac players getting Earbuds. This whole thing is identical to the Dr. Seuss "Sneeches" book.
