I missed Tropico 3, why oh why do I miss all the good ones and only see the crappy ones like Titan quest (no offense):D
 
I see Orange box is $30 instead of $85 it used to be. I dont have half life, so i might get it.

I see Steam have quite a few price reductions. Far Cry 2 being one of them $10 instead of $20, like Necuno says

It's worth it. You get so many games and they are all good. They are a bit on the short side though but the quality makes up for that.

Trine - $5.00 USD

trine_mw_spotlight.jpg


Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil…

The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities help the player battle an army of undead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Knight unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.

Shadowgrounds Pack - $4.99 USD, ±R38.42
Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor


About the Game

Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.

UPGRADE THOSE WEAPONS! Use a devastating arsenal of high-tech weaponry to dispose of the alien threat. Each weapon has multiple upgrades that maximize the carnage. Unleash the flames of the Flamethrower's Fuel Trap, cause mayhem with the Grenade Launcher's Poison Grenades, slash and dice the monsters with the Laser Rifle's Pinpoint Laser - and many more!

WHAT LURKS IN THE SHADOWS? Shadowgrounds uses cutting-edge realistic lighting and glow technology to light up the battlefield and create detailed shadows producing an atmosphere of fear. But the lighting and the flashlight also affect some aliens' behavior - take advantage of that and you can turn the tide in the game of fear by using your flashlight effectively.

DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT! What good are weapons and special effects if you can't wreak havoc on the environment? Shadowgrounds lets you go all-out - glass shatters, ground shakes, trees fall, barrels explode and furniture blows to smithereens. You can use the environment to your advantage.

THEY'RE BIG AND NASTY! Big, brutal monsters await you. Prepare to face many different bosses who will do anything to stop your journey. They're nasty, blood-thirsty beasts, but don't give in to fear - remember to use the environment and the lighting to your advantage!

â– Upgrade weaponry with powerful modifications.
â– Face enormous monsters in boss battles.
â– Destructible environment allows you to wreak havoc with your arsenal.
â– Visit many exciting locations, including a secret military base and the alien-infested colony New Atlantis.

â– Check security cameras and computer logs to investigate alien origins.
â– Realistic lighting with gameplay effects bring the aliens out of the shadows.
â– Enjoy horrifying sound effects and a thrilling music soundtrack made exclusively for Shadowgrounds.
