I think Splash Damage made Quake Wars.

mdm-adph · Dec 26, 2008

Then why's ID listed as one of the developers? http://store.steampowered.com/app/10000

Though, considering Quake Wars has been marked down to only $15, might just get it separately, it's still kinda crappy of them.

Steevo · Dec 26, 2008

I knew I was waiting for a reason.

WhiteLotus · Dec 26, 2008

Good god that's awesome. Think i might pick up a few titles later on!

ghost101 · Dec 26, 2008

Just picked up Bioshock for £3.49.

blobster21 · Dec 26, 2008

just picked up bioshock, for 4.99€ ( i would not pay much more for a game anyway)

ManofGod · Dec 26, 2008

I really want Bioshock but it has issues with Vista 64 at least for me. I tried the demo and it crashed on my system.

DarkMatter · Dec 26, 2008

You gotta love Valve don't you? Populists...

Enjoy, we are paying this for you in the EU.

spearman914 · Dec 26, 2008

Lucky it ends 1 day after New Year cuz I can't spend money on anything until 2009.

JC316 · Dec 26, 2008

Thanks alot man! I just bought Bioshock for the SMOKING price of $4.99

BrooksyX · Dec 26, 2008

I definitely plan on getting some of this:

Portal for $5
Bioshock for $5
Unreal 3 for $10
HL: Blue Shift for $0.99
HL: Opposing Force $0.99

Thats like $25 (after tax) for 5 games. Crazy good deal.

To bad I am still waiting on parts for my gaming rig :cry:

MadClown · Dec 26, 2008

Blue Shift and Oppossing force for $1.98, really the only good deals.

wiak · Dec 27, 2008

this sale is more of a short term fix for teh euro prices, well non holidays sales in US is way cheaper than non holidays sales in EU

so EU prices now is like what is SHOULD be in EU prices compared to US prices

ZilverPhish · Dec 27, 2008

1€ ≠ 1$ (1euro1us)

Ahh Bioshock would be even cheaper!

'just bought it anyway.

EaGle1337 · Dec 27, 2008

I was rather odd asking people i know on msn if they could buy me the games i wanted... stupid paypal being if you don't have the full amount you can't buy it, i picked up portal, race 07 and bioshock.

PaulieG · Dec 27, 2008

I'm so close to buying The Witcher Enhanced Version. Only thing holding me back is a $25 gift card at BB. I might have to pick up Bioshock too.

BrooksyX · Dec 27, 2008

Get Bioshock, so worth the $5. I was waiting for it to get to $10 but ill take $5 :laugh:

So glad I didn't buy it for my 360 on Blackfriday now.
