AvP isn't great by any stretch, but for the price of a pint...

I paid £7.50 in a Steam sale IIRC and I played through a few levels, very disappointing compared to the awesome previous games. Better graphically, sure, better in any other respect, not at all.

Anyone know if E.Y.E Divine Supremacy is any good? looks an interesting concept and potentially good coop game.

You like fps with rpg like Deus Ex or SS2 / Fallout? Then go for it.

I paid £4.99 for it before the sale, which I still it wis well worth (£15.99 normally).

Yeah picked it up and so did a friend so were gonna try it in coop, for £1.24 its bound to provide some amusement.

Also i just got L4D2 gift for completing one of the holidays thing, have no use for it anyone interested in a trade?

What are the Cities XL games like? They've always caught my eye for some reason, but Cities XL 2012 would have to be very, very good to make me spend £15 on it.

I'm hoping to see Hard Reset come to the sale.

Also has anyone been given free gifts? I just logged in and I've been given Half Life 2 & Lost Coast and a piece of coal.

So many games I want to buy today, but I add one to my cart, then Steam stops working / goes far too slow!

Cavestory and Railworks deluxe edition are in my cart atm, I already had Frozen Synapse from an indie bundle and didnt know about it.

Now I'm looking up cities XL. When I first saw the picture for it, I thought 'What? Anno 2070 on 50% off???? OMGYAY ... *click*, wait no, its cities XL ... FAIL!'

Metacritic tells me no:

If Cities XL is no good, what other Sim City type game should we be hoping for discounts on?

Angst · 23 Dec 2011 at 19:31

Got 50% OFF X-SuperBox if anyone wants to trade

Not played 2012 but the last one was pretty terrible. Certianly nothing like the original Sim City franchise. To me it felt like everything was too predictable and ordered, not leaving much for your own designs etc. I would still say that the old Sim Cities are still much better, especially with mods.
