Moved to general gaming.

I was on Steam buyen gaems last night, rather prematurely, it seems:

Bought
King's Bounty: The Legend - 10% - £17.49 - May 8th
1701 A.D. - 10% - £22.49 - May 13th

Apparently good, but hard
Men of War - 10% - £22.49 - May 13th

Poor reviews
Cryostasis - 10% - £22.49 - May 13th (slow)
Death Track: Resurection - 10% - £14.39 - May 13th (little variety)

Also there's Plant v Zombies with a 92% metacritic review, although it's described as a tower defense game, which I'm kind of burned out on. At the other end is Stalin v Zombies, which is unmitigated shite - while it looks quite jocular at first glance, it lacks any strategy and is bugged to buggery.

Updated to add Weekend Sale - Universe at War - 75% off - £4.99 - Untill May 11th (I believe, as Steam Weekend Sales normally end on the Monday night)

Plants VS Zombies is pretty good

I'll whack a review up this weekend if I remember. It sounds more like tower defence than it feels. Some of it is balancing buying defences with generating more income (which reminds me of early game Starcraft), and tactically dropping your defences in the right place for the right zombies (which is the tower defence bit). You also need to choose your potential plants wisely, which is kind of CCG.

Telltale Games is 5 years old. To celebrate, Sam & Max Season One, Season Two and the complete season of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, are discounted 50% for 5 days. The sale ends on May 18th.

Sam & Max is probably worth it, especially when supporting an indie. Strong Bad, I've never tried that.

Oh, I think I'm ineligible for this one.

I don't think many of us are eligible really.

CoD5 is half price this weekend. wouldn't bother though, it's shit.

^^ This, if only it was COD4

Sorry about the delay in update, it wasn't showing TF2 as a sale, just a free weekend, but yeah, its half price untill tomorrow if theres anybody who doesn't have it?

UT3 free weekend again.

This is followed by 50% off UT3 and the Unreal Deal which consists of UT, Unreal Gold, Unreal 2, UT2K4 and UT3 black. So you're looking at paying £11,49 for those five games, which is rather good.

Has anyone played flock? I like the graphical style but I have no idea what it is other than the fact that it involves spaceships and sheep.

Is the steam store broken for anyone else? it keeps asking me to log in, but won't accept my userID and password.

It hasn't been hacked has it?

EDIT: Working for me

Thanks for the updates Updated the list
