Red Faction games are 75% off today;
Red Faction $2.50
Red Faction 2 $2.50
Red Faction Guerrilla $5.00
Red Faction: Armageddon $12.50 ($1.75 for the DLC)
Is Armageddon good? I have Guerrilla, but honestly really open sandbox type games generally don't hold my interests very long, so I don't think I played it more than about 4 hours.
no, guerrilla is better
Max Payne 1 & 2 bundle for $3.74 or $2.49 each. Also, all the Warhammer: Dawn of War games & DLCs are 50% off this weekend. Tomb Raider games are 50% off, too.
Not Steam, but no better place to put it.
GOG having 50% off on Atari published games, some old goodies on there for $3-5 each - http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_collection
Looking at getting Outcast, Blood 1/2, RCT2, and Total Annihilation here.
The Last Remnant for $10 on Steam (75% off). Square-Enix game, turned based RPG, lots of missables (use a walkthrough and make multiple saves throughout the game). Short main game (for a comparison, maybe only 1-1.5 hours worth of cutscenes throughout the main game >.>. About 10 hour main quest) but lots of side quests.
Game lasts 40-60 hours if you do all the sidequests and collect all the stuff. Can get grindy later on (also don't grind until you have 15+ characters. In fact try to avoid monster encounters as much as you can till you have 15 characters at least so they can all gain stat increases at the same time.)
If a character asks whether to learn an ability or not, "always say yes" because unlike the 360 version, you can always turn off/on abilities for characters if you don't want them to use it (FF13 should have had that feature too since they were lazy and didn't implement gambits >.>).
Eve Online is 5 bucks for another hour and 50 minutes.

Batman: Arkham Aslyum and LEGO Batman 9.99 each.
I'd give AA a shot, but I noticed on the demo they don't seem to allow button mapping on gamepads. lol360 controller or keyboard only it seems.
I played the Batman: AA demo ages ago but for some reason never purchased it. Gonna fix that now![]()
Arkham City is also 20% off ($40) if you own either of those two games. It basically comes out to one of those games free.
It doesn't. There are attempts at workarounds, or I think the full version has an "invert axis" option in the launcher to let non-360 pads work. Or just use a 360 pad. They work perfectly. The basic issue being that XInput, the 360's input API, is also available on Windows...but only supports the 360 pad. Developers can easily include that with their PC port and net the same exactly functionality as they do on the 360. Adding Directinput support takes more work.
Isn't there an xinput emulator you can download to use standard DirectInput controllers and map them to a 360 controller layout?
Origin has some of their and Bioware games 60% off with promo code "ORIGIN60" (case sensitive). I got dragon age origins ultimate edition, the one with all DLC for $12. Not a bad deal
steam has better deals if you're willing to wait. I think I got my DA:O with all dlc for like 7 bucks.
This is on the Origin site somewhere? Could you provide a link?
Wait for xmas and it'll probably be <$10 on Steam.
In fact, at this point, you should probably just wait for the xmas sale unless you see something >75% off.
GTA complete 1-4/vice city/san andreas for $12.49
Bought the complete GTA pack for £5 although i'll prob never play it, also it's missing GTA London? My fav in the series.
