You are wrong. Modding is always fun when there's a modding community. aaalwaaays

Regardless, it'll probably be on sale again later, it goes on sale a lot from what I've seen. Don't worry if you don't buy it now.

Stubbs the Zombie for two bucks. Sold.

Also buckled under pressure and got Shogun War: Total 2.

[Rilder]

The Magicka deal was tempting but...eh nah.

Stubbs the Zombie is the one original Xbox game I have never gotten rid of, and I don't think I ever will.

[Thexor]

The Magicka deal was tempting but...eh nah.

Come on! You know you want to. 

[olemars]

Bioshock 2 for 5 bucks is tempting, but I haven't even played through 1 yet. Although that's true for pretty much all of my games. I never seem to get around to finish them.

EDIT: sorry chart didn't really work out but oh well.

[Enzo]

Anybody who hasn't played the Bioshock games yet should find $10 immediately, that is an amazing deal.

[mr. macduggan]

I would, but I've been burned so many times before because I bought something my gaming laptop couldn't handle. (Assassin's Creed! MAGICKAA!)

[Scaraban]

Yeah, Magicka irritates me with their "Yeah, we haven't done anything to make it run better on laptops." stance

[Mirage]

How long will this summer thing go on?  I'm just recently discovering the benefits of steam...

Is there a chance for a lower price of Grand Theft Auto IV (right now, 13.99 us$)?

There was a daily deal for this on the holiday sale for $5.  I'd wait. 

The sale runs until July 10th.

Is the mass effect pack worth $35 (i think)? I've never played them and most of the people I know haven't but I'm watching this (http://www.youtube.com/user/kootra?blend=1&ob=5#p/c/C1A9AF6954C5074F/0/kD0HD6l8L58) playthrough right now and it looks fairly good.

Definitely buy both games, but I'd be willing to bet at least one of them (if not the package) will be a daily deal.  Have patience.   

[Haschel]

I got the SE deal, and I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I already had from it was Thief: Deadly Shadows (Bought it a month or so ago when it was on sale, but the SE pack did not give me an extra copy. Bastards, my friend would of loved the extra copy) Specific things that make it worth getting:

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition (Not sure what the GOTY does)
Front Mission Evolved + tons of DLC
Hitman games, all worth playing
Just Cause 2 (You already know this one)
Thief

Those are the things that are worth the time that I'm aware of. Front Mission could be skipped if you aren't into it, it feels like a slightly watered down Armored Core. It's fairly fast paced, focused on action more than strategy. It's worth a play, but I don't think you will really miss an experience if you skip it. I've only gone into it a little bit so far though, looking at other reviews might be more helpful. There's also The Last Remnant which I haven't played, and the new-ish Lara Croft game which I've heard is good, but I was never into the series so I don't know specifics. Also Kane & Lynch which I don't know much about, though the sequel's demo seemed kind of meh. The first Deus ex I have mixed feelings about, but it's worth playing. Haven't tried Invisible War. That's about the gist of what I know.

You know why that is?

gaming laptop

What you got right there is a little literary device we like to call an oxymoron, pal.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No, but seriously, if you're into gaming, laptop != your main computer

[Rilder]

Eh I game pretty well on mine, maybe not on uber-high settings on everything but I never have issues.

[Shadowlord]

I haven't gotten GTA IV because:
1. Securom. I won't buy anything with securom, and there's no excuse for this when it's already on steam. And the other integrated things that came with it which my friends which bought it through steam had to deal with that have no business being there because it's on steam.
2. Rockstar has made an art out of failing to optimize their GTA console ports to the PC, and GTA IV is no exception, from what I've heard.
3. Did not enjoy GTA III at all, Vice City would get a 6.5/10 if I were rating it, and the last one I actually liked was GTA II and that was because of the LAN multiplayer.
