Great sale there.

Got Half Life 2 for €4.49.

Super Meat Boy is on sale for €3.50, which is ridiculously good value for such a great game!

How about VALVe Pack for 25E. I have a friend who was just looking at buying CSS for the sales, but now I'm forcing him to buy the entire VALVe pack! All he has is TF2 and Portal, so he'll gift them onto a friend who doesn't have them! It's a win-win on so many fronts!

Altitude is half price again, its been a while since they last had a deal on. Excellent game, and well worth the 4.50

Valve are my heroes.

ShaneU · 20-12-2010 8:34pm

the developer packs are on sale until january 2nd

Nollog · 20-12-2010 9:28pm

Aw, I waited too long to buy the Valve complete pack and now it's 49.99

Not really good value for me anymore, but the 50% off valve games is still good.

Moon54 · 20-12-2010 9:43pm

Don't forget...

Bioshock is €4.99! (75% off)
Great game. I bought this last Xmas for the special deal price also, great value.

Trevor451 · 20-12-2010 11:57pm

how come the valve collection went up in price? I wont be buying it for €50 :mad:

FruitLover · 21-12-2010 12:02am

****ing annoying, spent about 20 minutes trying to buy the Valve pack earlier, site kept timing out :mad: Don't think it's worth me buying it for €50 now (already have most of the games.

Nollog · 21-12-2010 12:48am

The valve games are 50% off separately.
Probably meant to be 50 euro - The games were half-off, then the pack got half-off too by mistake.

horgan_p · 21-12-2010 12:39pm

some strange stuff here, lucasarts game pack is now more expensive than buying the games seperately.
Civ 4 complete for under 7 euro is full of win though !
I doubt civ 5 will drop in price though

Odaise Gaelach · 21-12-2010 2:18pm

My goodness, the OddBox! That's going into the cart!

BlackWizard · 21-12-2010 4:12pm

Just bought railroads tycoon 3

sweet!

cherryghost · 21-12-2010 4:14pm

6 o clock this evening and some other games get further reductions.

Hint: Usually the 25-33% off tags get a further reduction

GruupyLove · 22-12-2010 5:07pm

Is the Witcher as fantastic as people say? I keep hearing about it, but none of my friends have played it, and was hoping to get some feedback on it before I blow four whole euro on it.

Skerries · 22-12-2010 5:44pm

Have to say , I felt the same. But it also didn't help that I was having major graphics issues on my 4850 gpu too.

Fixed.

Why you cheeky monkey.

It was the apparent impossibility of being killed in the sequel, short of virtual suicide. Once you master the "duck and autoheal" tactic you've pretty much finished the game.

Pygmalion · 24-12-2010 7:14pm

Todays offers up, anyone have anything to say about Battlefield 2 collection before I buy?

I kinda get the impression it's all about the multiplayer, which I'm not really looking for. Don't want to drop my money on it (even if it is just a fiver) if the singleplayer is awful.

I hated bf2.
Of course I know a lot of people who love it.

It's pretty much multiplayer only, single player is just small multiplayer maps with bots.

It basically only a mulitplayer. If you want single player again get battlefield: bad company 2, it the neext inline after BF2. That has a pretty decent single player compaign and the multiplayer is awesome!
