Yeah I think it's worth it. I played the original Darksiders on PC and paying number 2 on XBOX. Enjoyed both immensely.

Thanks. I'm still undecided, at least I still have a day to think about it. In other news, Tomb Raider and The Witcher 2 are both 75% off and both have added cards. Buy the Witcher if you like really good RPG's. It's brilliant. I own it on everything except Steam, now I own it on Steam as well :D
 
I kind of jumped the gun with the steam sale by purchasing HL2 + ep 1 and 2 before the sale even started :D But so far i've only bought Witcher 2 and i'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah! Bought Tomb Raider :D

The witcher 2 is very good. Mature story line, driven by morale choices. Absolutely recommended.
Got Witcher2 DRM free version. Too soon to get it again on steam lol

has anyone played the last remnant? is it any good? looks kind of like a final fantasy rip off? worth it for $3.39?

It's made by the same people who made Final Fantasy.
I would say it's worth R30. You'll get lots of gaming hours out of it.
It plays pretty much like FF - lots of roaming, lots of random fighting and teeth grinding boss fights later on in the game.

A quirk of it is the english dialogues - it's amazingly bad.
Would recommend to have dialogues in japanese with english subtitles.
 
YNAB - You Need a Budget is on sale. Definitely worth it. Especially if you like to budget, are serious about personal finances, but don't have anything like Quicken already. Helluva lot better than any self-made spreadsheets I used in the past. Pays for itself.
 
Fallout New Vegas is apparently 75% off, but won't let me click it. It just sends me right back to the home page. Stop trolling me Valve :D

Thanks for the help :) Also, I haven't played F3 or New Vegas, which do you guys recommend? Are the "Ultimate/GOTY" editions better, or should I just stick with the normal versions?

If you can afford it the GOTY is always better. It usually also includes all the DLCs as well.
 
Are the DLC's worth it? Which game is better (F3 or NV), of course the answer is subjective, but I haven't played either of them so I'm clueless :confused:

They both have their strengths. The stories are independent so you don't need to play them in any order.

Personally I think New Vegas is the better game but both of them are really amazing games. Whichever you get (if not both :) ) I would highly recommend you get the GOTY/Ultimate editions as the DLCs are more than worth the price as they add a nice bit of variety to their respective games.

If you are feeling adventurous and you have a decent PC you can head to the modding communities (Fo3 / FNV nexus)(which are quite large) and pick up HD texture packs which make the games look properly good.

Be warned though, it might make the game unstable. Fallout 3 is pretty buggy / unstable on Windows 7 as-is. During my last playthrough though, I managed to get it working with minimal crashes by doing a clean install with no mods and disabling Games for Windows Live. When the game do crash though, it only takes a couple of seconds to open the game back up again and continue if GFWL is disabled.

Can't remember about NV though. I remember one of the DLCs having a major bug where I had to use the cheat codes to move through walls in order to get out. Solitude is playing it at the moment so perhaps he can say if he's had any crashes since he started.
