zombie driver is pretty good, updates that added voice over briefing really helped

It is indeed, I've had Zombie driver for a while and there's been loads of updates. The game is a right blast for a little while, until I get motion sick!

If you ordered it from The Hut, mine took 7 days before it was dispatched.

I think OcUK spoil me, they usually dispatch the same day! Other places aren't bad either, 7 days is a little long. Maybe they're advertising stock that isn't there. I'll probably miss the delivery now, was looking forward to having a go on that this weekend. Such is life.

The FEAR deal seems decent value, might have to dabble at that price.

Yeah. At £9.99, it's a good deal for a lot of games. I did enjoy F.E.A.R. 1 from the demo. I've heard mixed things about the second one. Although it looks like it would scare the pants off of me.

Blacklight Tango Down £2.49 on GFWM until next week but heard its a crappy online based FPS though..........

Yes it is, I got it for less than a quid from GFWM and played it only a few times..

The second one isn't "as" scary as the first one but it has its moments definitely. Alma tries to absorb you so attacks you directly which is something that doesn't happen in the first game. The first one has more scares though as its not just alma that causes the horror element to it. Theres these teleporting melee troops which are mutated and move insanely fast, whilst having a predator style cloak on and they appear at the very worst times lol.

Didn't know about that, I was going to buy Capsized next week anyway! Got this - thanks

Steam daily deal is Left 4 Dead 2 - £5.10. Good deal if you don't already have it.

 

[daninthemix]

What's the cheapest L4D2 has been?

 

[alex24]

Probably about that much. I bought it in a pack ages ago but have barely played it, seems like just shooting more zombies to me! I'll have to give it another go sometime.

 

[SoAdCrAzY]

L4D2! Wooo! Damn, I've spent a lot all ready today on Steam. It has been on my wish list for ages though.

 

[CSA]

can you play "local" co op on LFD2 ?

 

[Hatton]

Yeah if you haven't already got L4D2 then it is definitely worth picking up at £5.10. You can play it again and again and not get bored, I clocked up around 700 hours until I got bored of it.

 

[CSA]

so i can play LFD2 split screen on my plasma for two players with xbox360 pads ?

for PC?

I'm not sure if you can do split screen online... it's not like a console. Correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[FoxEye]

Is it me or are Steam deals hardly worth checking lately? All crap :/

yeah for pc,i was going to buy it for me and the GF to have a blast with a few beers tonight

Darkspore deal was tempting. The price of that game barly budged after release and wasn't exactly a best seller. I was very tempted at the time to splash out and get it but the reviews put me off. Really do not fancy it now though.

It's possible to do, but takes a little effort. This guide should help.

People here made me decide against it. Will pick it up when it is around a fiver.
