Bought L4D2 and am tempted by Star Wars, but have heard bad things about it.

I got it on sale a while ago, as you can probably see by the screenshots it's a very "interesting" looking game that some people may love or hate. As for gameplay it's not exactly a marvel but what it does it does well. It's a sort of a first person fighting game that is quite hard even on easier levels (unless I'm just really rubbish with it
) but it gives you a good sensation of both hitting and getting hit.

I can highly recommend Beyond Good And Evil for about £3.50. Brilliant game and runs fine on Windows 7

Stupidly large at 30Gb and distinctly average. OKish if you are a Star Wars fan, but nothing special.

Pretty much sums it up.
Although, some of the battles can be great, it really doesn't warrant for the massive install size, and appalling performance.
Then its out :/
Both great games! HOI3 has a massive learning curve but is very good fun when you really get going on it. The official forums are an excellent source of information as well and very active.
You can also get the expansion which was released a week or two back for £5 ish at the moment on Steam to!!
Out of the games I have, HOI3 is the most played on Steam for me for around 40 hours and I've not had it for too long.

Cracked, and bought Ghost Master and Chains for me and the girlfriend.
Loads of people 'bigging up' Ghost Master on the Steam forums, but might run into performance issues.

Absolutely yes.
In fact, when you do get it feel bad for a few minutes as, at that price it's nearly like stealing, then go and enjoy a fantastic game and get over your guilt
What an amazing game, picked this up last night from Steam and left downloading all night.
I've been playing it non-stop all day its an awesome game, would've gladly paid more for it had I'd known about it in the first place! thanks fellas for the recommendation!
Any other oldies out there with at least the same kind of graphics worth picking up that I might have missed?
Also if I like this will I like Dragon Age?
Any other equally dark rpgs etc covered by the sale?
Thanks!
EDIT: This is The Witcher Enhanced Edition I'm talking about btw

Who knows. Just a lazy port I guess. The graphics, sound and gameplay are nothing more than average - so no idea what takes up all that space!
Just reduced so far.
Can someone explain in a nutshell why The Witcher is so good? I've not quite bought into the hype yet...
Wondering the same myself. Been playing for two hours and have gotten to the inn after killing the green wolves. The soundtrack is great, but otherwise it just seems "good" at the moment. Not as good as some people have claimed. Do I need to stick with it more? I suspect I have been spoilt by Dragon Age.
From what I have played so far, I would say you would LOVE Dragon Age.

Yea easy. Its got a very good story, its adult, its got great music and its got atmosphere.
As a bonus its got great graphics. It also came out of nowhere, no massive hype etc...
EDIT : To be honest i dont think Dragon Age was that good, i did enjoy it but was expecting much more with all the hype, it felt too small and most of it was far too easy.
