Shack PSA: Weekend PC Deals and Discounts

GDI I just bought X-Com complete yesterday.

X-COM X-COM X-COM! How about we have a few more comments about Freedom force and how it is something you HAVE to buy along side X-COM because it is also awesome (more so even :O)

God damnit D2D....

$4.95 != 10.3€
$4.95 == 3.6€

Is there a website that graphics the falling prices of PC games over time? I would be interesting to see projected future price drops for games based on the history of these online discounted sales.

Tropico any good? I've been eying it for a bit.

Which X-Com game is the best?

Dammit. I bought redfaction for 15.00 bucks :/

If you haven't already, buy Red Faction. I bought it for $10 over the holiday sales, and right now I feel it was worth closer to $40 with the amount of fun I've gotten from that game, and the level of destructability of everything keeps me coming back all the time. Sure it has a few issues here and there, but don't let that dissuade you from playing a really fun game.

There's also a fun mode where you can do a hotseat mode type competition for seeing who can do the most destruction under different situations, such as specific weapons only and whatnot. Multiplayer, when one is actually going on which sadly is kind of difficult to find a game, is a blast, and contrary to what one might think, is not laggy with all the physics and destructibles.

5 word summary: Five dollars is a steal.

God, I loved the Freedom Force series. I really, really wish they'd do a third :/

That Tropico 3 deal is kinda amazing, I foresee a dictatorship in my future

Red Faction = Bought'd! Such a great deal : )

Red Faction Guerrilla was the best space asshole simulator I've ever played.

Oh wait it's actually 12.5€ when switching from UK to EU *facepalm*

X-COM brings me really awesome memories, too bad 2K Games refuses to release to game in my country. :(

Can some kind gentleman gift me X-Com? For some reason its not available here. :|

Question

Waaaaay back at some point I bought X-Com: Terror from the Deep on Steam. Memory serves it was the Win32/Win95 version of the game and it barely worked. And people who had upgraded to Vista were reporting it flat out didn't work.

I run Win7 x64 now, so Just for shits I fired it up and now it appears to be using DOSBox instead. And it works perfectly (or at least it did for the minute I was running it).

So am I misremembering it running in Win32 before? Did they switch it to DOSBox? Is it slick enough to use DOSBox when it detects Vista or above? Just curious.

X-Com might be the perfect Netbook game.

So is there any reason I should get Red Faction: Guerrilla for my 360 over PC? Can I use a gamepad on the PC version?

I call myself a PC gamer and I've never played X-COM.

$4 for two complete packs that are also badass games?!?! Sold!

"Moons of Reikshall! " "Rings of Rexor!"I dont need to repurchase Freedom Force a third time, but I hope Irrational makes another one! or any game in that universe. "Those aren't garden-variety gorillas! They're some kind of scientific quackery!" and my fav "Say hello to Mr. Bat!"
