Steam's Deals of the Day/Weekend/Midweek

I can attest to both TR Legend and TR Underworld as being great fun. Legend being the better of the two. I did not try Anniversary simply because it is just an update of the original TR game from the 90's.

Thanks, guys. Is your link using the Amazon OO affiliate? Just want to check before I buy this.

Also, this would be my first purchase using the Amazon Digital service and from everything I'm reading, it's as simple as plugging in the product key Amazon gives me (which I assume I will get) into my Steam account and download from there?

It really is that easy. The key will be stored in your "digital locker" on Amazon. Cut and paste your way to savings...

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:01 pm

No, I didn't affiliate link it, but that's a good call. I don't know how to make sure the affiliate link goes to a particular item page.

Nice. I was hoping it was that easy. Browsing through the Dead Island thread, it works the same way so I'll be keeping my eye open for a download sale.

Our local GameStop has pretty much stopped selling any recent PC games and I have all these gift cards that I can't use with their digital download (and I'm not sure if I want to use their download either). I'm going to ask if I can use the cards to pre-order SkyRim and have it sent to the store.

I ordered Deus Ex from the OO link and this was the URL in my address bar before I pressed the Buy button.

http://www.amazon.com/Deus-Ex-Revolutio ... 291&sr=1-3

I'm not sure how OO is identified because I don't see similar parameters when I initially entered Amazon thru the OO link. That looked like this:

http://www.amazon.com/b?_encoding=UTF8& ... ative=9325

So perhaps it's remembered by cookies or something as you shop around Amazon from the entry page. Anyway, I hope Amazon has an easy way to direct link to a product from an affiliate because I appreciate the work you put into these bargains updates.

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:25 pm

You can purchase games from the GameStop digital download service that are STEAM enabled as well. I've never done it, but they provide you with the key the same way that Amazon would.

Here is a list of all games that require (or use) STEAM activation.

Keep it handy -- you really can save a ton of money, particularly in a few weeks when Black Friday hits...

Have both. Neither are that good of a shooter. Basically it's a scripted shooter where enemies pop out here and there and you need to kill them before they kill you. It's run and gun, not shock and awe or outflank and outthink. The "campaign" does have a few of the BHD inspired scenarios, but it's not the epic battle you'd expect from the movie. Basically, you're all AROUND the movie instead of IN the movie. The expansion pack is Delta Force vs. Drug Lords.

Skip this and go straight to Joint Ops, or Delta Force Xtreme 2.

Preorder Arkham City for $40 if you own the original or Lego Batman.

Almost makes me want to buy it again - but I don't know why I'd want two copies on Steam. Great game.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 12:00 pm

I went ahead and bought it myself.

Just wanted to say "Thanks" again, Isg!

Checking this thread has become a daily activity. I appreciate the effort you make to keep it updated.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 2:33 pm

Thanks. I got so used to checking the one at GT, and realized that this place has a stronger PC community that might benefit from it as well.

That, and the days I can scoop CeeKay in his own thread really make it fun

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 2:40 pm

Agreed, great thread. If Issie would just add coupons from local grocers as well as sunday advertisements for all the major electronics stores, he would be 10 out of 10!

...oh, and would it kill you to review a movie or two each week? I really don't like going to a matinee without some kind of knowledge on what I'm seeing.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 3:06 pm

I'm working on the movies thing. I posted the thread about The Big Year. And I just watched In Bruges again. (2008 thread)

GreenGoo · Post by **GreenGoo** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 11:58 am

It's especially appreciated since I can't check Steam myself during the day, so this thread is the only way I know what I'll be buying that day.

In Bruges was surprisingly fun.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 1:08 pm

I enjoyed the film much more the second time around. The first was ... offputting. Kinda like Pulp Fiction.

Daily Deal: Cargo! – The Quest for Gravity -66% $19.99 $6.79 (Metascore 64)

Weekend Deal: Grand Theft Auto Weekend

Grand Theft Auto Classics -66% $29.99 $10.19

GTA
GTA 2
GTA 3 - $3.39
GTA: San Andreas - $5.09
GTA: Vice City - $3.39

Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack -75% $49.99 $12.49

All of the above plus:

GTA IV - $6.79
GTA: Episodes from Liberty City - $10.19

Given the Episodes price, that Complete Pack is a hell of a deal.

Personally, I've finished 3, IV, and the Episodes, all on the 360, and they've been pretty fun. Oh, and to make us feel old, this is in celebration of GTA 3's 10th anniversary.

Kasey Chang · Post by **Kasey Chang** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 2:14 pm

The funny part is the complete collection is actually cheaper than the "modern" collection, because the complete is 75% off while the modern collection is just 66% off.

I guess I don't need to open my GTA1 / London / 2 collection any more.

Daily Deal: Sacraboar -66% $8.99 $3.06

They have a news item up for Hydrophobia: Prophecy at 75% off, but the store page lists it at $11.99 with no discount.

It doesn't look to have London in it.

I was all set to pick up the complete pack when Steam told me that I already had 1-3, SA and Vice City. I still own 5 on 360 and rented Episodes, so I guess that just saved me $12.49.

Hydrophobia is a fun but VERY short game. Be warned.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Sat Oct 22, 2011 3:40 pm

If it actually were 75% off and $3, then it might actually be worth picking it up.

I loved Hydrophobia while it lasted but just when it starts to get really good the game ends. Only expect to get about 3 hours out of it and little to no replay value.

Green Man Gaming has Hard Reset at 50% off. It will activate on Steam if you buy it it says. $15 aint bad considering it's only been out a short time.
