Pretty sure they do. I remember getting them for a lot cheaper than that... feel like I didnt even pay $10 for both of them, which was during a sale during October. Though, bought them though 4 pack shares off CAG.

L4D2 was on sale for $6 a few days ago if I remember right.

Was part of the daily deal thing they had going for about a month now.

To answer the question though, yeah, Valve does sales on their own games. L4D1&2 bundle was $15'ish last Xmas I believe?

Is AC: Brotherhood worth getting? My threshold is typically <$10, but 66% off seems like a decent deal.

There's an Assasin's creed collection package for $27, it's so tempting, especially since I never played the first ><

The first Asscreed game doesn't measure up very well next to the sequels, alas.

**Salodin** · 2011-07-04 09:13

Yeah, honestly part 2 did a very good job of explaining part 1. I can see a person getting away with not playing part 1 and understanding the story just fine, unlike skipping everything you learn in part 2.

I still need to play part 3, but since the games don't have some giant online community and are pretty much only single player for me I'm just going to wait till it gets even cheaper; probably just before the release of revelations.

Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword and Singularity...tempting.

**Cyn** · 2011-07-04 12:10

Is Trine any good? 90% off is kind of crazy.

**Correction** · 2011-07-04 12:17

Frozen Synapse must be selling like hotcakes if $12.50 is their daily deal price.

Might pick up Trine since it's lol2bucks. Alpha Protocol is also tempting. Bleh to everything else.

**deshende** · 2011-07-04 12:20

Think they are going to get me with Fallout New Vegas. I can't imagine it'd get much cheaper in the next few months (I know I'm going to look back on this post and kick myself if it's $5 next week).

**Correction** · 2011-07-04 12:22

That's the real tragedy of Steam Sales. By the time you've spent your fifty bucks getting 12 games, you realize it's going to take you until the XMas sale to really put any meaningful hours into them. Then 1st day of the XMas sale, New Vegas is five bucks.

Bought Alpha Protocal during the xmas sales and it's worth it. Still haven't finished it yet. But I will sometimes play it every now and then.

Wasn't there someone who worked on the game that posted here? Also avoid SMGS in the game like the plauge, fucking terrible guns(dual wield only), ARs all the way.

**Cyn** · 2011-07-04 12:27

Went ahead and grabbed the Frozenbyte collection.. local co-op is so rare for PC, figure those will be cool to play with friends.

**TacoTaru** · 2011-07-04 12:52

I figured today's sale would be a lot better than it is, but oh well. Picked up Trine, still considering Serious Sam, but I can't decide if I can commit to it or not.

Bestbuy has it for $10 + tax online and in store (got mine in store, but PS3) includes PC version and is steam redeemable (99% sure at least).

**Kaisha** · 2011-07-04 13:37

Tempted to get Frozen Synapse, more-so since it includes a giftable second copy which I'd toss over to my bro for some multiplayer.

Other than that, there's Alpha Protocol and New Vegas, but those are two games I'd rather play on my PS3, even if Vegas is buggy as fuck without a means of using a command console to fix stuff.

Can anyone confirm that the pc version is able to work on steam?

I'd pick up a PC copy at bestbuy.... and buy the DLC right now....

The PC version uses Steam for DRM for all versions, doesn't matter where you bought it. I bought a physical copy when it came out - my Steam list shows that it was a Retail copy (under the Licenses + Subscriptions thing if you click the Account button), but otherwise it seems to work identically. Updates via Steam, etc. Some PC games just do that - Metro 2033 is another one I've got, offhand. With either of them, it pops Steam up to bind to an account as part of the install, the disc is essentially just an installer cache rather than downloading it.

Yes it is. If you've played the lost vikings it's kind of similar to that.

Also about the summer tickets, if I spend any of them on the stuff available will I also lose drawings for the wishlist? I currently have 9 tickets and wondering if I bought the TF2 sunglasses for 3 tickets if I'd go from 9 to 6 chances to win.

**Galkaeater** · 2011-07-04 16:53

Nope it still count them even if you spend them
