I haven't bought anything through steam. Do you get a hard copy or is it download only, because I want to buy some stuff for cheap, but I only have access to dial-up.

Just bought six games for like 40 nzd, which is really awesome.

Tomorrow I'm buying the Eidos pack and Fallout 3 GOTY.

Goddamnit I love Steam Sales.

I bought Medieval 2 Total War, Star Wars Republic Commando and Alpha Prime (it was only 50p). Lots of other good games, but too many of them I've played to death already.

I'd personally recommend X-COM: UFO Defence.

I'm gonna get Braid, World of Goo and Trine, probably.

Here are the games in my shopping cart atm:

Medieval II: Total War
Torchlight
Braid
Trine
World of Goo
Beyond Good and Evil
Indigo Prohpecy

I'm also considering buying:

Red Faction Guerrilla
Borderlands
L4D2
Fallout 3 GOTY
KOTOR

Especially considering Red Faction since it's so cheap for today, but I'm not sure if it's exactly my kind of game, although I've heard good things about it.

Yeah I am on the same fence with the Red Faction. I might just save my money and get Dragon Age instead as it looks boss. Despite being £26 on play.

Dragon Age is boss. Get it.

Though Red Faction is quite a bit of fun, not sure I can be bothered playing through to where I was again.

I might get Beyond Good and Evil and Torchlight, I've heard some good things about those games. What do you guys reckon?

I played Beyond Good and Evil way back when it was released and it was awesome. It was one of the best games of Gamecube. I completely recommend getting it, 2e is a steal for it.

As for Torchlight I've heard great things about it from my friends, and it seems a lot of fun. I was going to buy it anyways, but since it's so cheap now no point postponing getting it.

I also bought Dragon Age Origins (Digital Deluxe Edition) last week. I think there was a bug in the EA Store, because for about a day or so you could buy it for 4,90e instead of the normal price of 54,90. :)

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

The first one is the best game ever made. The second one is utter trash.

So . . Get the first one, but not the second one?

Also should I get Psychonauts and Just Cause? They're both games I haven't played but I dunno what I'm getting into with either of them.
