    And make your wishlist as well....though by telling you this it will be more difficult for me to be one of the 30 people picked, so if anyone wins they should buy me games from my wishlist =)

    Picked up the Deus Ex collection, those games were great. Also run great on IGP on my m11x, so can enjoy 6+ hours on battery whilst playing.

    I picked up Alpha Protocol for $7.50. Seems like it should be fun. I like stealth games and because I refuse to use anything with Ubi's stupid DRM, looks like this may be an alternate to Splinter Cell.

    LOL, good luck with finding an alternative to Splinter Cell... Conviction was one hell of a good game.

    Anyways, its that time of the year that my wallet takes 1 too many hits...

    Conviction on co-op split screen on "realistic mode" was of the funnest gaming experience I've had in a very long time. You really should get it. At least rent it, you can beat it in about 12hrs as a noob who's never tried it before.

    As for Alpha Protocol, I think I'll grab it based on what you guys are telling me and how it's similar to Splinter Cell.

    Luckily I just got a job and a steady source of income again... I already splurged for a Y460 at $350 off, I should probably get some new games to go with that as well.

    Though the current deals are all games I either already have, or am not really interested in. Here's hoping they have a different selection tomorrow.

    Counter strike is nothing like call of duty. You have a gun, you die, start over, haha. playing with alot of people who play it way to much. Though its fun, but not the same way the COD or HL series is.

    For what I've seen and read, Batman is pretty good. And EVE is very good, if that's you cup of tea (which for many, it isn't).
    The Deus Ex collection is also on sale. It's kind of old, but it's a very loved classic by some of the people here. I'd check it out... (specially since the sequel is coming out February '10).

    Cheers! :)

    And Yet It Moves looks very intriguing. Has anyone played it? The rest of the indie pack is not very tempting. Maybe Jolly Rover could be fun. (I already own Gish.)

    If you can get Dead Space, do it. It is quite an amusing game.

    Torchlight might be a good deal for €4. I'm also thinking about Dawn of War II Gold for €10.

    this was kind of funny

    $15 doesn't seem like an amazing price for torchlight, but I guess this copy comes with some kind of neon cars DLC.

    Considering the price of the full game is the same as the pack price I'd say you're better off getting the pack and gift the extra to your friends :p

    That is if you plan on getting it no matter what though :) You can even buy the 6 pack, keep one and wait for the sale to end then sell the extras you have to your friends cheap :D

    I bought the Left 4 Dead 2 6-pack, even though I already have it and most of my IRL friends do, too.

    I'll just use them as carrots to make other forumers act like fools to amuse me.

    Torchlight is ok. Not my cup of tea, but entertaining at least. There is/was a demo for it - DL and try it out yourself!

    Also, not Steam deal, but Impulse has/had Dragon Age Origins Ultimate on sale for $25.

    See here:

    But nobody wanted to...you mind if I give you some $$$ for it?? LOL
