good site to manage deals

Borderlands is $5 ($15 for 4 pack) and $7.50 for all DLC. probably a daily deal.

We’ll draw the winners at the conclusion of the Steam Summer Camp Sale.

prizes are DLC and stuff

I'm kind of glad the prizes are a bunch of dlc I don't care about. So no real reason to try to do all these tasks in games I wouldn't play otherwise.

Half-broken, or a quarter broken if you use the fan patches, and as janky as you'll find in a major release, BUT it's also a very deep RPG with great characters and lots of player choice in a well-realized world that oozes atmosphere.

You may also wish to consider using God Mode to breeze through the awful combat.

It's probably one of the best cases of a title that was almost an all-time classic, but just couldn't quite get there because of technical problems. The stiff, painful cutscenes, the jankiness of the combat, jerky animations, the bug and glitches. If Activision had given Troika a bit more time and bit more money [and if Troika had more skill with doing 3D graphics], it might could've been one of the greatest RPGs of all time. As it stands now, it's more like the fish that got away. Still, if you can overlook the technical issues, there's still hints of greatness that almost was to be found.

Shivering Ilse is fantastic. Knights of the Nine a really basic questline and all the other DLC is forgettable, although I do like having the pirate cave thing as my home.

You have to start a vanilla-Oblivion saved game, but I think you get the Shivering Isles questline after several in-game days.

they added star wars nights of the old republic for $2.50, if there is anyone left who doesn't already own it

also SW Battlefront II for $2.50, Force Unleashed II for $9.99, Empire at War Gold Pack for $4.99

Just Cause 2 for $5 is very tempting.

How's the PC version?
Does it support controllers?
Is it worth it at that price or not? (even though it can't possibly go any lower, I know)

cool breeze · « **Reply #2152 on:** July 01, 2011, 03:37:06 PM »

-Incredible. Much better than console versions there are tons of great mods out there. Note: I don't think it works on Windows XP.

-Yes, perfectly. Automatically switches button prompts, turns on rumble, etc. the instant you start using the controller.

-YES YES YES and buy the Black Market Aerial Pack DLC for 50 cents. It has the parachute boosters, which allow for mods like superman flying.
