Steam Christmas Sale 2012

I would say yes but better if you have people to play with as can get a little boring solo

Get the THQ pack instead unless you own most of it, only an extra £8 for an absolute ton of extra games.

Pretty well priced bundle.

been good so far, bought £0 so saving money this year!

& don't bother getting Dota 2 - Just ask on the forum and get it FREE

a little misleading, you get it free, sure, but you don't get the items that come with it for free. the pack is worth it.

Any chance Global Offensive will go cheaper?
The counter strike pack had 75% off earlier. Seems to be 67% now though.

DOTA 2 for sale?

Got a fair few invites if anyone wants one.

Pestilence · 22 Dec 2012 at 21:18

Has Magic: The Gathering 2013 been cheaper than that previously?

delta0 · 22 Dec 2012 at 21:23

SimCity 4. Great price. Been looking for a new building simulator game.

Ignore, may be region locked as stated below.

dead island 6,79€ worth it?

Hmm, I got bored of it pretty quickly. I guess it would be fun in a group, but the quests get very repetitive on your own. A little more tempting at that price I guess, still not sure though. I certainly regret paying full price at release.

Ah my bad never knew there was dlc for it

Dark Souls in an absolute beast of a game.
The boss fights are so incredibly hard, but when you finally kill whatever beast / demon it is your taking on, the feeling is amazing.

Just make sure you bring along a gamepad / XBox 360 controller, keyboard + mouse controls are whack and you may get motion sickness from sitting too close to the screen with the camera position so zoomed in..!

Someone earlier mentioned waiting to see if Dead Island GOTY turned out to be cheaper anywhere else.

Just noticed this on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Island-G..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1CZ9E2293DK06RB5H4TA works out at £3.71, and yes its a Steam key.

I thought dead island was region locked on steam?

people who bought on amazon.com get this:

Don't talk such rubbish. The Ryder White DLC is absolute trash.

Unless you have people to play it with give it a miss unless you're genuinely interested in playing it. Sure its enjoyable for a time but it does get a little dull and repetitive on your own quite quickly.

bushmins · 22 Dec 2012 at 22:35

I thought Dead Island was great, not so good in multiplayer. Multi seemed to take the scary edge off the game. Loved it. The Ryder DLC wasnt so good but that was because it was the same old stuff as the main quest.

theonejat · 22 Dec 2012 at 22:43

The beach bit of the game is great, after that - meh.

Dont accuse me of talking rubbish pal. He asked if Dead Island was worth 7 quid and I replied that yes, I believe it is and I also really enjoyed the Ryder doc so wind your neck in.

Bought. I love the way my extra copies of Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source have disappeared into the abyss.

Welcome to Steam.

You'd think the games you already owned would automatically be put into your gift inventory but no. :mad:
