Unreal Tournament was awesome 10 years ago. It still is, but is kinda dated(graphically). Then there's 2004, seems nice, plays nice, and Unreal Tournament 3, the more recent UT. About that one I gotta say: I didn't like it at all. I can see that Epic Games is working hard to appeal to the gamers(it has had several additions since release, it has achievements, they've done several free weekends for new people to try it) but it just doesn't seem very good.
So yeah, the pack's got a good amount of content for 13 bucks, but chances are if you never played UT, this isn't a must-buy for you. Keep an eye open for new promotions :rockout:

I see that Champions Online is going for the rather tempting sum of €13.59. I was a fan of City of heroes back in the day... does anyone have an opinion?

As for stalker it's a great game, clear sky is too. Recommended for the silly prices they have them at now (i know there is a lot of talk about the buggy nature of the games but I can honestly say that there was never a bug that crashed the game on me- the worst thing that i can remember happening was a side mission's target dissapearing and not being able to finish it, no biggy)

I just recived the Unreal package and i played UT3 for 2 hours, but im still ADDICTED to GTA 4 at the moment, im loving GTA 4 you guys NEED TO BUY GTA4 AND GO ONLINE, most helorios gameplay and experiences ever and also sense a trainer has been hacked so you can use it online the game play is rediculasly fun.

yesterday i was doing 200 mph down from the sky in a care and hit a ramp to go fly at a barge and blow up into boxes. What people are doing is playing freemode, and the trainer we use you can spawn objects, and build AWSOME RAMPS and stunt places, spawn cars, get unlimited amo, and all this rediculas crap. Its so fun, its just hard to find servers that are populated with 10+ people at the airport XD.

Catch me in there im 3volvedcom2 i belive so say hi if your in a free mode server like i am ;D

Star wars Premier Pack 75% off(9.99 instead of 39.99)
Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition 25% off(41.24 instead of 54.99)
Torchlight 75% off(3.99 instead of 15.99)

Universe at War: Earth Assault 75% off(4.99 instead of 19.99)
Dragon Age: Origins 25% off( 37.49 instead of 49.99)



Torchlight has an attractive price. I played the demo and thought it was fun, although not extraordinary, but for 4€ I might end up picking it up. And it has achievements :p
