The Steam specials thread

[Kiruna]

shout if you get hawx 2 - I got this the last special they had. It's a okay game, but it's more fun playing co-op. I'd say only really worth it on a decent special offer.

 

[Toxin]

EDIT:
Wait where's splinter cell 2 pandora tomorrow?

Hmmm, where indeed? Didn't notice that when I checked it out. Wonder why they'd leave out Pandora Tomorrow?

 

[HavocXphere]

ATI RADEON X1800 / X1900 / HD 2000 / HD 4000 / HD 5000 series
ATI HD 3000 NOT supported at time of release.

Guess what I'm not playing.

Yeah and I got an error when purchasing the games claiming "lack of funds". Nasty shock but I checked with the bank and there's plenty of moola left

Check your games list. Happened to me once and the games were there anyway.

It happens, worse one is getting flagged for fraud by accident and then getting steam to you again is tiresome.

Close the client, open, check list as czc says and or try again.

And check that its not under awaiting authorisation on your internet banking/ cc

Average of 70 on metacritic is really not bad, and visually it looks quite nice. I'm definitely considering it.. pity the gf will not be happy after all the spending in the past month

 

[Murph]

Is it like SimCity or what?

The thing is I like City Building Games. And from what I heard is that the first Cities XL was buggy as hell and the 2011 version fixed it.

 

[XeroS1x]

Ja, I'm pretty tempted to get this myself. The reason why I didn't get CitiesXl was because of the bugs. But seems to have been fixed in 2011 version, no multiplayer though.

Anyways, the pondering continues and the credit card levels rise.

 

[C-Bear]

Just got Cities XL 2011 earlier today. Not bad. Plays a bit like Tropico 3 almost. Though, you're likely going to load up your own MP3's in the background. The in-game music is AWFUL!
