Official Steam sale thread

It's Ubisoft sale week.

Crapload of stuff on sale.

[Keven]

Just bought Assassin's Creed on Steam. Normally $20, marked down to $13.

I had Assassin's Creed 1 on Xbox 360, but AC2 on PC. Now I have both on Steam.

Edit:

Just bought TrackMania United because it's on sale too and I have a friend who raves about that game. Crap, I'm an addict. Somebody take my credit card!

same. 146 titles and counting. I've played probably 80-90 of them at all (as in fired it up at least once) and only 20-30 of which have more than an hour in... and thats generally not because they're not good games!

put another one on my tab, Far Cry complete pack for $7.50

Lots of Tom Clancy games on sale today. What has everyone been buying? I'm downloading the H.A.W.K. demo. Might buy the original just for some fly-around fun.

Was thinking about buying Vegas 1 and 2. But, I already have them for Xbox 360 and I have to stop buying games I already have on Steam.

Anybody want to go in with me on a copy of Frozen Synapse?

It's $20, but each sale includes 2 copies.

It's kind of a cool turn based strategy game.

Giant Bomb did a quick look - looks pretty cool:

Here's the Steam page:

Let me know if anybody wants to split the $20. I think every copy includes a second key because it's a multiplayer focused game and they want to seed the game out there as much as they can.

Not my kind of game but I wanted to say that it does appear it's a "2-pack" so upon purchase you could "gift" the second copy to someone else. If you've never done it before Steam makes it quite easy.

I just bought 2 copies of H.A.W.K. for Buu and myself. First one I bought for myself. Second one I bought as a gift and immediately gifted it to Buu after purchase.

Yeah, I was just going to find somebody to give me $10 then I gift them the other copy. Or I give them the $10 and they gift me the copy. Whatever works.

and now for a quick break



back on topic:
I was tempted by Total War: Shogun 2 on sale for $34 (vs $50) but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I'm already over my budget

[Keven]

I found somebody to go in with me on Frozen Synapse and it's a pretty cool game.

Problem is that it coordinates everything through a central server and in the few hours that I've played the game, it's been down or super laggy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is on sale today, $19.99, normally $39.99

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (first one) is also on sale. $14.99, normally $29.99

I have MW1 for PC somewhere, but don't know where the DVD is. Also, bought MW2 for the Xbox because that was when I had all my Xbro friends and I wanted to play with them. Trying to fight the urge to buy both of these games just to add them to my Steam collection.

pass and pass. I like how activision thinks they can still charge a premium on old CoD games. It'd be like apple still charging 200$ for an original iPhone

Yeah, World at War is $30 on Steam and not on sale. WTF. That thing should be $10 now.
