Really tempted to get this, heard good things about it.. Maybe it will be in the steam sale.

There is a demo out for Gods & Kings, its so bloody fun, the way they've limited it is evil too, they wait until the game picks up combat wise to end it, as I play games like Civ as a turtle and build my army up before leaving my lands, I spend bloody ages getting one together, declare war on the Hun's as they declared war on my allies, got into a pretty crazy 4 on 4 unit battle and then it ended! Didn't even get to use my Legion.

Smart though, they have just got themselves a purchase, didn't even have to pirate to preview thanks to a demo.

They always do, I'm pretty certain they will do it. It's always great for them and their customers.

Maybe EA & Origin scared them out of doing it.

Skyrim if possible.
I have it on PS3, for some reason i thought i'd enjoy it more whilst lounging in my beanbag in front of a large TV. Want to get it on PC now with the hi-res pack

Skyrim is currently £35 on Steam. There's no way it's going to be more than 50% off, if even close to that, rendering it £17.50/23.44/26.24, depending on what discount it receives.

Just get it from OcUK for £20 with next day delivery and a physical map.

What's the thinking behind it starting today? I always thought it was towards the end of July?

Last Thursday of June. They're behind every other Digital Download service with this sale.

I'd rather have it in steam tbh and i have the map which I've never used or wanted.
If i were to buy it outside of Steam i'd get it else where for cheaper than OcUK.

It's Steamworks, it registers on Steam.

Well if there is a sale tonight I will rejoice and be buying pretty much everything I don't already have. Hoping for borderlands £6/mass effect 3 £15/gothic 3 enhanced £3/fallout vegas £6/need for speed any £10/crysis 2 £5/duke nukem forever £3/that pirate rpg risen 2 £15
There's so many more I've held out for at lower prices. The only games I ever pay full price for are Elder Scrolls/Dirt Series/Indie Games like Krater and Recettear as a rule as I know anything else can only keep me away from them for a few hours.

Not convinced that they're actually going to do one, myself. Didn't they also skip Easter sales this year, when last year we got the whole egg hunt theme?

If it wasn't for BF3 I think Origin would be dead already

Not doing a summer sale? You must be kidding that you think they won't do one, surely!

That was the first Easter sale they had ever done though. Perhaps it didn't work out too well for them.

My concern with regards to the sale is the number of amazing daily deals etc that have been on over the past few weeks. Maybe Valve just won't do one this year. Maybe they really can't count to three. Maybe Gabe Newell has Triskaiphobia?

There was no Easter sale last year. Or any other year for that matter.

it has to be activated from steam anyways so it would always be on the downloads list in steam afterwards anyways.

i know this as i used to have issues with steam and had to crack my genuine version of bloody skyrim just to play

thank god for virgin media internet fixing my issues though
