I didn't really look at it. Let us know if it's any good though.

I have a guest pass if anyone wants it.

The THQ pack looks extremely tempting...

I also just bought madballs. Damn you steam, I can't not buy £2 games.

Fucking hell, that's better than the ID pack. A shame really that it's made up of a number of awesome games because I already own pretty much all the ones I'd want to play.

Today, a fiver will almost buy you Mirrors: A Game By EDGE, Monkey Island SE and Evil Genius.

Post by **HereComesPete** » November 30th, 2009, 17:15

I bought chronicles of the fall of evil max riddick payne genius, all set in a post nuclear role playing game parts one, two and bos.

I may need to cobble more games into that hideous mess if I accidentally slip with the buying finger again.

I was hoping for modern warfare 2, but oh well. I'll just get it from amazon instead.

Bought the secret of monkey island because you can't go wrong for £1.70. Sort of want to buy Mirror's Edge too.

I bought monkey island and mirror's edge. I didn't even want mirror's edge.

It also seems to give me fair European prices for a change.

Stoat · Post by **Stoat** » November 30th, 2009, 17:26

I really wanted Mirror's Edge when it came out, but was discouraged by its problems. That's not really an issue at this price though. JUMPAN!
If I get it installed before the time's out I'll give a quick review. Valve's servers are a bit full at the moment though so it's downloading in DialUp-o-Vision.

Monkey Island is going at 80kb/s. Which is very odd considering it's 800 ping 20kb/s peak hours in my university flat right about now.

Post by **deject** » November 30th, 2009, 17:33

Mirror's Edge isn't quite as bad as people seem to think. Sometimes the path you're supposed to take isn't obvious, and some parts are ridiculously difficult (one part took me about 30 tries to pass) but I think it's worth it. I'd have bought it now if I hadn't already bought it from GoGamer for $5.

Evil Genius for $2.50 is a no-brainer buy though.

Lateralus · Post by **Lateralus** » November 30th, 2009, 17:44

I've just splashed out £4.74 on the Commander Keen pack, and Secrets of Monkey Island. Hopefully I'll be able to play them on my laptop, to pass the time on the long train journeys I have in the next couple of months.

These sales are far too dangerous, I just bought game #101 on Steam.

Edit for the merkins out there... D2D has Mass Effect for $5 today only. If you don't have it yet, get it now.

Post by **deject** » November 30th, 2009, 18:34

I bought game #116, lol.

How did I spend that much

Post by **deject** » November 30th, 2009, 20:05

It doesn't take into account any sales you took advantage of, so it is a gross overestimate. It's basically saying how much it would cost you today to rebuy everything in you account.

Post by **FatherJack** » November 30th, 2009, 20:08

I expect mine's an underestimate, as I bought nearly everything new. I have pretty much everything in the THQ pack already, all bought individually at full price.
