    Dead space 2 has my interest piqued, but I probably wouldn't play it for a few years,by which time it will be cheaper. :-\

    Have the same problem and the easter sale is only around the corner

    Just did the trading achievement with a friend and found this in my inventory.

    Is that a beta key? Would it be tradeable if I unpacked it?

    Dead Space, Assassin's Creed 2 for me. Owned several of the others already.

    Why I buy so many games during these sales when I've games from the last sale that I haven't played yet is beyond me...

    I know I saw from the achievements/goals I already owned a bunch of titles that made me go 'wtf?' like Revenge of the Titans

    Yeah I think I played the first level on that before getting distracted by something else. I really need to get around to playing it, I do enjoy tower defence games. :)

    Just an FYI, That is worth a lot on the steam forums, Just reading a thread and someone offered 40 coal and some tf2 hats, the coal alone would fetch €20!

    I think it has myself, but I'm hardly a reliable source.

    As a fellow who already owns and plays left 4 dead 2, would you recommend I buy left 4 dead 1?
    Does it have any content over 2 now that the maps have been ported over to 2?

    Difficult to say. I preferred LFD1 over LFD2. While I haven't played the ports, I don't think that the two games are significant different to justify a purchase. But, hey, it's only €5. Yet that €5 might be better spent elsewhere. In short, after much flip-flopping I've been no help.





    Or have I?

    L4D1 is pretty much deprecated now that everything is also in L4D2. The only reason to have L4D1 is if you want to play with only the original weapons and Specials.

    Thanks, I was on the fence ever since they ported the maps, but was leaning toward not buying it.
    I got two tribes thingy instead.
    edge, rush and toki tori.
    Glad I'm seasoned and hadn't bought edge in the first day.

    18 games bought so far apparently. Not too bad though as I've only spent about 40 euro

    Re: LFD1 - it does not have the excellent melee weapons of the sequel. Apparent from that, fairly good.

    Two Tribes stuff today. Been meaning to get EDGE for a while, if only to stick it to the guy who fought a stupid legal battle about his ownership of the word.

    I must commend the focus on indie titles - pretty much every small title that I've been curious about but has yet to be released in humble bundle form has been on sale :pac:
