What the title says.
I just nailed Trials 2 Second Edition, Far Cry, Painkiller: Gold Edition, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas and, of course, BioShock. Trials 2 because I enjoyed the Miniclip demo when I played it some time ago, Far Cry because it seems awesome and I’ve been meaning to for a long time, Painkiller because Zero Punctuation’s Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw gave it a positive review (which, in his case, is rare), Rainbow Six Vegas because I love the Rainbow Six series and strategic shooters in general and BioShock because, well, it’s BioShock, and the deal was sweet (5€; original price 20€). All that for 29,95€, a quick count says that I saved up to 25,50€ with these deals. I definately recommend the BioShock deal, I don’t think you’ll get it for so cheap in a while. You might also be interested on the deals on Portal (3,49€, originally 19,99€), the FlatOut + FlatOut 2 Pack (7,99€, originally 14,99€) and the iD Super Pack, which has every iD Software game to date on it (the Doom series, the Quake series, the Wolfenstein series and more) (34,99€, originally 69,99€; package and the holiday deals included you save a whooping 134,29€!). To elaborate on the iD pack, with that price you could only get Doom 3 and the expansion pack Resurrection of Evil if you buy them separately… Hurry up though, the deals only last ’till January 2nd!
I’ve only been around to test Trials 2 Second Edition yet, and even that briefly, but the full version has been very enjoyable so far. I even got my first achievement already… for breaking every bone in my body in one fall. Tough, but awesome.
More on Far Cry and others will definately come later.
Also, I just played Counter-Strike 1.6 with my brother and his pal, and eventually stumbled upon a server which, to honor the New Year, had a Fireworks mod installed in it. I had seen this before in Team Fortress Classic fun servers but never in one of those “your basic public CS servers”. Well, some of the terrorists in the CrazyArctic cs_assault server definately had learned the pros of the Remote Controllable rockets, checking every single Counter-Terrorist camping spot of the map with it before running out and then promptly slaughtering every single unsuspecting CT camper. And those campers never learned. I lol’d.
“As for the guns, I could mention the hugely satisfying penis extension gun that pins baddies to walls with entire trees but all you really need to know is that there’s a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning… I wish I could make something like that up, it shoots SHURIKENS AND LIGHTNING. It could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire.” (c) Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw; Zero Punctuation review on Painkiller.
