PSA: Game Discounts

[Phillip V]

I know the feeling. All these good sales lately have left me with a giant (mostly digital) stack of games I got for $5 or $10 that I really need to get around to playing.

Same here. And with books.

[FunkMonk]

Sounds good. I'll probably pick it up this weekend.

Steam's weekend deal is Universe at War for $5, anyone played that one? I know it's by Petroglyph, of "Empire at War" Star Wars RTS fame.

I really really thought it sucked.  Generic and boring.  But then again, I didn't play it for more than 15 minutes before I uninstalled it so....

[MadBurgerMaker]

It isn't one of the games on sale, but I noticed Pacific Storm and the expansion were available via Steam (I'm trying to get it to where I'm using Steam for more than one goddamn game) for $15.  Worth it?

Edit:  Wait...the "expansion" seems to be a sequel.  Heh.

I bought 1701. Thanks, Vinnie.

I've actually been playing it again, simply because that sale reminded me I hadn't done much with Sunken Dragon yet. It's really just a great little game, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the feedback. I also just realized/remembered that the multiplayer requires Games for Windows Live, which is further reason to pass. I think I'll let that one slide past, god knows I've got enough games as it is.

I did like the demo when I played it ages ago.

Elven Legacy is 14.99 on GamersGate.  Has anyone played it yet, it looks interesting.

I like that Anno 1701 required me to put in 3 serial codes.

I think i'm going to pick it up, the demo was pretty cool.

I have a boxed copy, so it may be different, but I only have the one.

Yeah, freaking gamersgate gave us 3 serial key. (I only need to use 2, I'm still wondering wth the 3rd is for)

There was one I had to input so that it could send data to someone(when I first clicked on the application), then a different one was needed once the program had opened.  The third was for Sunken Dragon, but it still strikes me that three are ridiculous when serial codes are the silliest protection ever.  Also, damn there are a lot of intro videos to this game.  I think I hit escape about 5 times till I got to the main menu.
