Games for a Fiver!

gazzab · 4 Mar 2011 at 15:44

Just a heads up, Play.com are selling these games for a fiver at the moment:-

Borderlands
Alpha Protocol
Batman AA
Stalker COP
Bioshock 2
Burnout Paradise
Unreal Tournament 3
Hawx
Civ 4
Fallout 3 w/ 2 expansions
Supreme Commander Gold
Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Some of these might be cheaper elsewhere, I just noticed them and thought they were good deals.

I'm gonna grab Borderlands myself, maybe Alpha Protocol. Does UT3 have any sort of campaign or SP?

Yes, a story based campaign.

Its just a training tool to aquaint people with the gamemodes.

I'm pretty certain it has a single player tournament mode, where you play the different game modes and "Win" the tournament. No story to speak of as far as I know.

Kosmiche · 4 Mar 2011 at 15:49

No there is a story, there are cutscenes that unravel the plot.

Zefan · 4 Mar 2011 at 15:50

Ah I stand corrected! I assumed it would be the same as the previous games!

MooMoo444 · 4 Mar 2011 at 15:57

It is completely the same as the other games. It's just levels that have not much to do with each other and random cutscenes trying to patch it all together

Ahh ok, sounds like maybe I should avoid it... I don't do MP. Then again the last UT game I played was the original on PS2 and I had plenty of fun running around the arenas with bots, hunting out the rarer weapons in hard-to-reach places then nuking the crap outta them

UT99 didn't have any proper story, it was just a series of tournament events...

Borderlands is tempting.

I think UT2003 was the same.

But yes UT3 has a (very poor) storyline. But at least the cuscenes are short to let you deal with the fights :-)

Can you activate a hard copy on Borderlands on Steam?

Nate75 · 4 Mar 2011 at 16:24

I googled it for myself...

Thats a no!

Borderlands for a fiver is still a worthy investment, but yeah - the lack of Steam integration in the retail version is a bit of a pain.

You're a star, Borderlands and Alpha Protocol bought.

Thanks

No problem peeps

Ended up just going for Borderlands in the end... I'll probably buy it on Steam as well when it's a couple of quid

Jono8 · 6 Mar 2011 at 10:21

Metro 2033 is in the deal as well.

Bioshock 2 is well worth it! I never got into Arkham Asylum.
