    Got Bioshock for 4.99 even tho I already had a PC copy- price was far too low to pass up and not have in my steam account... Also, got Mass Effect for only 26.99!! Sweet!

    Wow, GTA III and GTA: Vice City are $8.99 each! I'm want to get one, or both of these. Also, I notice the GTA Collection pack for $26.99 includes those two games plus GTA: San Andreas (plus GTA 1 and 2, which I don't really care about). Is it too repetitive getting all 3 of the GTA III games? Is so, then I'll probably get GTA II and Vice City and skip on the package deal.

    Just wondering which games to get now. I already have CSS and TF2 (really enjoying TF2). I'm thinking left 4 dead and portal, but im still considering COD4 or COD:WW. What do you guys think? Portal is a for sure (only $5, but should I get L4D or a COD game? What game play style are these games?)

    Mass Effect sounds like it might be pretty cool but there isn't any demo or anything to play so I am a little hesitant to play it. It says it is an RPG, but is there any game anyone who has played it can compare it to? I've played and beat The Witcher and really enjoyed it, but it is not your normal RPG like Obilivion. Is this more along the lines of Oblivion or The Witcher?

    Awesome deals, I bought Indigo Prophecy for 50% off, and looking at some others...

    If anyone hasn't played Portal, you MUST buy it for $5 bucks! It's only a few hours long but time spent VERY well!

    GTA 4, L4D got really old after I played it through the second time, GTA 4 is a lot deeper and more enjoyable, but I'd also recommend Fallout 3

    I'll just pick up GTA 4, fallout 3 takes a bit too long for me :). Just a bit worried how my T7250 and 8600M GT pair up against it.

    btw, great avatar, LOL

    I was going to buy Stalker:SoC last week when it was 5$ but didn't have a credit card ready. Now I do and can get Stalker:SoC and Stalker:CS for 32 bucks (less then Stalker:CS is normally :eek: ) but still alittle cautious. No Demo so anybody know how it would run on my laptop?

    I love this deal! Just got Bioshock for $4.99! (BTW: I know it's not steal, but EBGames has the Crysis Collectors Edition for 19.99 on their website...cheaper than normal Crysis or Crysis on here.)
