The EA week on Steam

Are any of them any good? Last one i played was Generals.

SiD the Turtle · 16 Jun 2010 at 18:10

Bah all the pants ones.

I'll stick to the free, legal downloads of the older titles tyvm!

peterattheboro · 16 Jun 2010 at 18:11

I thought RA3 was ok.

RA4 is god awful. Possibly one of the worst games ever.

I assume you meant C&C4? Never played it, but from the previews it didn't sound like C&C at all

meh meh and er meh,

What are on the other days. The picys on the first post were hotlinked

and have been removed

Never played any of the C&C games myself - I like the movie cutscenes for C&C RA3 Uprising though

Probably best off getting hold of the free ones and playing through those

Still not interested in Red Alert 3, and £20 for C&C 4? Cheers, but no thanks.

CaptainRAVE · 16 Jun 2010 at 19:06

and so the "sale" continues... :rolleyes:

kieves1 · 16 Jun 2010 at 19:39

What a joke. c&c 4 is only £12.99 on stop.com

What free games are available now anyway and where from?

What's your CPU? I would have thought it would run okay on that card.

Apparently the game favours quad cores, I saw a benchmark where a Q6600 @ 2.4 was quicker than an E6600 @ 3.6.

X2 6000+

Ran that tool and it's a little better. Single player is fine but multiplayer is quite demanding.

Yeah, sorry

It's so utterly garbage I can't remember the name of it

Tute · 16 Jun 2010 at 20:29

Haha, £20 for possibly one of the worst games ever made.

RA3 is barely worth a tenner either - a fiver and I might have given it a second chance but I still think i'll pass.

Runs like a dream for me in SP on high (and with a similar GPU to you), I haven't tried the MP yet.

I thought my monitor had developed a dead pixel at first, a white pixel in the bottom right hand corner appeared - seems it's a weird bug with the game which affects everyone :/

I wont be buying any C&C then, I thought it would have been closer to 75% off.

You forget that this is an EA "sale"

What is on "sale" tomorrow?

Van Diemen · 16 Jun 2010 at 22:11

Racing day.

I don't expect much. Steam's EA racing games amount to 3 games in total.

Burnout Paradise, NFS Undercover & NFS Shift

iamdjdz · 17 Jun 2010 at 01:17

Yey ME2 and DAO at the weekend, will have to remember as I wanted to play both of those!

Ahleckz · 17 Jun 2010 at 01:55

I was hoping to pick Red Alert 3 up for a fiver, not the same price that a big computer game company has been selling it at for ages.

What a joke!
