Just a bunch of adventures games, most of which already on 75% off but you just never know with these daily deals so holding off till last day, won't get a chance to play them mid January anyway with the Uni work.

Right click on Mafia II in the library and choose an option about DLC. I can't quite recall.

So is this the last day of the sales?
At least i got hold of Empire and Napoleon: Total War for £11.99! Quite a bargain if i enjoy it!

Tonight they should just relist every game from the last two weeks, they would make bucket loads.

There are a lot of games I have bought but now want to get more to gift to mates.

Played 2 hours of Mafia II, I don't understand the hatred people seem to have for it...

I'm completley captivated by the story, graphics (just gutted I can't use Physx on max)

Yes the driving everywhere is a PITA with the silly drivers but not a game breaker.

It's short and linear.

It only feels short and linear if you compare it to GTA.

I went into it with no expectations and without comparing it to other games, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Is Medal of Honor worth picking up? Is the MP any good?

I think the MP is brilliant, not easy or forgiving but very atmospheric and satisfying.

I liked it a lot too, although it is way too short. The world looks amazing, but is kind of boring - at least in GTA exploring was fun.

DRM aside, anyone got an opinion on Settlers 7 for £10?

yeh I tried the single player and that was boring, but I had tried the beta and the MP seems much better

I still can't bring myself to buy Mafia II, even for this price. I tried the demo again today again to see if another play of it would change my mind, and it just reinforces what I already felt. Shame as the concept had promise but it seems the execution falls well short.

Can't believe how big this thread has become, 3750+ posts. About 50% of the posts are dirtydog's.

are these DLC things worth buying on mafia 2??? have played through the main game already so do they add much extra to it?

By all accounts, they add bits of the story that should have been there in the first place... so you'll probably get a bit more playtime out of it.

I also thought Mafia II was a brilliant game. Story is enthralling, missions are fun, the period is captured very well.

The massive shame is the lack of free roam.

Tummy · 2 Jan 2011 at 17:10

Settlers for a tenner?

Anyone got / played this?

ScarySquirrel · 2 Jan 2011 at 17:11

Cool, thanks dirtydog, might pick it up then. Although I've got quite enough to play right now after these sales :s
