    Some just aren't afraid of whats on the screen. Some people have a firm grasp of reality and movies, games, whatever don't scare them because they are fake.

    Doom 3 scared the crap out of me. The positional audio was unbelievable. I don't think the game would have been nearly as scary without it. The first time I heard whispers coming around me, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and I ripped off the headphones, shut down my PC, turned on the lights and watched a comedy movie to make me forget. lol.

    I have it and loved it

    If you played the original or like old school platformers its a great game.

    $5.00 is about right, its not incredibly long but truly a classic

    Gave me a good reason to break out the arcade stick too, I preferred it to keyboard or gamepad for this game.

    Global Agenda on sale for $7.50. Get it if you haven't yet.

    I have over 700 hours of gameplay on GA, and since it has no subscription fee, that would have been 1cent per hour gameplay if I'd bought it at this price! :eek: :D

    EDIT:
    Oops. Just remembered the Steam thread. Could a moderator merge this to the Steam deals thread so I don't break any rules? Thanks.

    I don't like the game, after playing for about 100 hours.


    It's too team-oriented. A single good player who tries to win can't do anything on a team that sucks.

    Its such a pain to get anything outside of steam anymore, their prices are good, deals are great, and its a nice gaming package, voice chat unified library listing of games, game news, game store. Also I know alot of people are still having a hard time with the whole digital download, and steam seems safe enough, were as D2D and other sites seem a bit fraudy.
