merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

really want to pick up GTA IV but everything I've read indicates the port is borked

bit on Torchlight this time

I joined the Steam ILG group; I think it works; the interface isn't great.

is there no GOG thread? rumour is that Gabriel Knight 1 is coming very soon.

Can a mod change the title to "rolling GOG/Steam specials"?

Freedom Force and FF vs 3rd Reich is $2 - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1662/
Xcom apocalyse/enforcer/interceptor/terror from the deep/ufo defense is $2 - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/964/

I was using the rolling PC thread for that but felt kinda shillish to update the thread every few weeks just for GOG and Steam sales. Hope you guys didn't miss $2 Psychonauts this week. Y'all should be hitting CAG constantly anyway for this stuff.

argh, i did! let's be shills and keep this updated.

lol FOR SHAME i put it in the IPC thread

Titan Quest with addon pack is five bucks; will anyone rep for it?

from 2006 summer thread:

I have started Titan Quest, it is amusing in the Diablo ways, I suppose. I never played Diablo/Diablo 2, though, so the idea never had a chance to really stale.

I don't relaly rmeember playing it except vaguely I remember starting it and going "meh" and quitting, so, not memorable. If you have Torchlight play it instead!

i do and i will

Torchlight really put the Diablo bug back in me after ten years, so I'll probably get this. Also, it has multiplayer, which TL sadly does not, and I'm in the mood for that.

TQ has gotten hype from some quarters too, some prefer it to Torchlight - it's supposedly a lot longer, more diverse environments and better class mixing.

Trine for $5 on Steam. Worth it? Y/N? Jeff, I remember you were waiting for this one.

GOG just released Master of Orion 1+2 for $6. Also Outcast for $6. not a sale.

MOO2 is kinda classic though dated, Outcast is one of those games that sounds pretty interesting, but I wonder if it'll hold up at all today.

Always curious about MOO2.

It's at that tempting price where I think... will I ever play these again? Is it worth the couple bucks so that in that case I won't have to hunt for the discs?

I have waited about eight months for Fallout 3: GOTY to drop down to $20, and it's at $25 right now on Steam - question is, will I actually get around to playing it within the next six months or whenever the game finally gets a permanent price drop...

Batman AA: GOTY is $20 on Steam right now, too (but I'm still angry about my save deletion)

They're doing EA specials all this week, one per day, only for 24 hours each. The Command & Conquer series is on sale right now.

GOG has the Tex Murphy games 30-50% off... all worth it except maybe 1+2, which many people got for free last year anyway.
