    I've only bought a few games: Demolition Inc, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Universal Sandbox, Puzzle Agent 2 and Bit.Trip.Beat. Got gifted Rage during the Secret Santa, and I won Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (gifted away), Braid & Defcon.

    Trying to trade Braid & Defcon on the SPUF, got one decent offer for Defcon which I'll try and accept but just the one offer of coal for Braid which is akin to just giving it away and I only want to do that on here. So someone surely can't have Braid yet and wants it on here!

    I don't have Braid yet, and I could give you Half Life 2 episode 2 and a shiteload of coupons.

    I've already got Half-Life 2: Episode 3 (Arsenal 1) and it depends on what coupons you have. But anyway, that doesn't even matter as I don't want anything (from anyone on here at least) for it so you can have it if you want it.

    Today's Daily Deal is Dreamkiller, which is basically Painkiller meets The Cell. Only not as good. £1.75 / $2.49

    Amazing Daily Deal today: The entire X-Com series for £3.05 / $5.09. Buy it. NOW.

    Also, the Weekend Deal is Age of Empires III Complete at £14.99 / $19.99.

    But yeah, X-Com. Seriously, that's about a dollar for each game in the series. You simply cannot argue with value like that. Hell, I don't even like the genre and I'm getting them.
  • edited January 2012
    Also forgot to mention that in the UK (and possibly other countries, I couldn't say) Back to the Future: The Game is completely free to Playstation Plus subscribers.

    That's a bit expensive for what you get, isn't it?

    :mad:

    Every. Fucking. Time.

    You just will not leave that game alone, will you. You can't just let it slide. Even when it's completely free, you have to insult it.

    We get it. You don't like it. Hell, we got it 6 months ago. You don't have to keep ramming it down our throats.

    I can't recommend X-Com enough. At least, the first three. If buying the first three is cheaper then buying the pack with Interceptor and Enforcer then I totally recommend that.

    Especially with the news today that Firaxis is developing a new strategic X-Com to be released in addition to the FPS that 2K Games is working on. I am very excite!

    Super Crossfire for the Indie Royale Bundle has a key for Desura, not for Steam.

    How would you compare Desura to, say Steam or GOG? I'm not sure I want to bother installing another game download service.

    I tend to disagree. The last few posts were refreshingly hilarious despite the pounding of the proverbial dead horse. Bravo, people! Way to play it light!

    Damn, so many gifts here. Shouldn't have abandoned you community people :D.
    Then again cheap myself, only gifted E.Y.E. to a friend who wanted it when it was on sale... so maybe I wouldn't make an ideal Secret Santa...

    Also won absolutely nothing :(. Only coupons I got where the welcoming gift, -50% Valve and -50% AaaaaAaAAaAAAaA! both useless.
    11 coal (3 of which where traded for Risen).

    If I may drag this thing back on topic...

    Today's Daily Deal is Lead and Gold. £3.49 / $4.99

    Also, I remember someone asking about it, so here you are. Lego Harry Potter: Years 5 - 7 is now up on Steam, and there's an opening offer of 15% off, which makes it £16.99 / $25.49 for the next few days.
