I'd say C&C3 personally but it is personal preference. Yes the humble bundle has ended, that's my bad for not checking before mentioning it, sorry,.

i got the gta pack, assault on dark athena and fallout nv

Dark Athena is a great game, Butcher Bay is better imo but it also comes with that. I remember you need to mess about turning vsync off otherwise performance is bad, or was it something else. Either way a quick google fixed it for me.

Just prefer the story and lore around C&C tiberium world over the Red Alert. Don't get me wrong both the original games were brilliant

I own all the C&C games and out of those two I spent more time playing C&C3 than I did RA3 and enjoyed it more. Either way for less than £4 each they are both worthy of purchase, I paid about 7 times that at release, but if I had to pick one out of those two it would be C&C3.

Koool, thanks mate, decided to just go for RA3, I reckon I'll enjoy it more, I can always get C&C3 later

Evening all

Am new to steam and playing alien v predator, got my eye on a few items in the sale and wondered if you guys could tell me if i bought one of the "complete" packs can i gift individual games from that pack or not?
I know i have to wait x amount of time before i can trade but would be good to know and these percentage off vouchers are they only good after the 2nd jan?
All a bit new to me but am impressed with the setup and ease of use even getting the hang of keyboard n mouse for team fortress 2 :eek:

Thanks

I don't think so no, you either use all of it yourself or give all of it away.

Most of them are: if they're blue you can't use them until after the sales. There are a few rare gold vouchers which can be used immediately.

Thanks for that Art much appreciated !
My only regret is that i didn't discover steam sooner, could have saved a small fortune on console games looking at the current sale pricing

EdwardTeach · 30 Dec 2011 at 21:19

I picked up the deus ex dlc and magic 2012 (out of curiosity).

mikeyparkster · 30 Dec 2011 at 21:20

I just bought shogun - 21gb download

... play that tomorrow I guess

No worries

Ended up buying the Deus Ex DLC, Civ 5 and Fallout: NV with just the Gunrunner's DLC. I remember getting very bored of the new DLC areas in F:3.

I'd love to say I'm not going to buy any more Steam games until I've finished all of the ones I've already bought, but that's never going to happen. Valve are very clever like that!

Mark A · 30 Dec 2011 at 21:31

Anyone else having trouble playing Super meatboy? Keep getting sql server error every time I try to play it. Was hoping to get another coal so I can craft a voucher

aceface57 · 30 Dec 2011 at 21:33

Argh, really dislike this crafting nonsense, have ended up with Rome Total War gold, 50% off Defcon and 50% off of Mount and Blade.
