Shack PSA: Steam Discounts Mass Effect 2, Red Faction Guerrilla and more
by Xav de Matos, Jun 30, 2010 10:10am PDTThe Perils of Summer continue and, like clockwork, we continue to evade them, thanks in small part to Steam's ongoing sales. Today's highlights include Mass Effect 2 for 40% off, Shatter for $2.50 and the obligatory Torchlight price drop to $5.00.
For today, your complete options are:
- Torchlight - $5.00 (75% off from $19.99)
- Red Faction Guerrilla - $5.00 (75% off from $19.99)
- The Guild II + Pirates of the European Seas - $12.49 (50% off from $24.99)
- Left 4 Dead: Game of the Year Edition - $6.80 (66% off from $19.99)
- FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage - $2.00 (90% off from $19.99)

However, the real killer is The Void. It's a hauntingly beautiful and disturbing game, albeit hard. There's a difficulty patch available here so at least that is not an excuse any more. http://forum.ice-pick.com/viewtopic.php?p=101816#p101816
I've seen Mass Effect 2 for less, but some people might like it on Steam. L4D is practically left for dead haha and might not be worth it if you've got no personal group of four.
I'd strongly caution everyone to think about getting RF:G. It's a horrible port by Volition and THQ (just like Sain'ts Row 2 before) and even though it's been patched might not run properly on / play nice with: Windows 7; Quad-cores; Dual-Cores; Onboard-Sound; X-Fi cards; Surround Sound Systems; nVidia Cards; ATi Cards; Keyboards; 64-bit machines with 2+GB RAM and certain multi-monitor configs. On top of that, it's possible the included and faulty(?) GfWL won't let you "download" your profile or save correctly. And you might not be able to permanently change your resolution. So Caveat Emptor.

I'm not a big Myst-type game person and that seems like the direction it's leaning. How is it? Worth experiencing?
