God, ToEE is amazing for how well it implements strict 3.5 rules into a game...and that's it. Fucking mess otherwise.

GamersGate has Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection $6.78
includess: Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1&2, Planescape Torment and The Temple of Elemental Evil.
Much cheaper than GOG, but they don't come with the soundtracks, if that interests you.

I'll point out too that that Master Collection hasn't been GoGified either, and it requires quite a bit more effort to get running properly on a modern system.

You know, I can't understand why other online platforms like PSN or Live don't incorporate this sort of sales technique that Steam or GOG applies. I mean, every holiday season, gamer's wallets beg for mercy from Steam. Nowhere else, as far as the bigger consumer places is concerned, has that sort of reaction.

Admittedly, the majority of Steam's sales are for smaller titles. Triple A titles happen relatively frequently, but not compared to the smaller developer titles. Hell, even Telltale Games has incredibly tempting sales pretty often.

Another Steam weekend deal: Saints Row The Third $24.99
Also, Saints Row 2 is $3.75, it's a terrible PC port, but I've heard there is a fan patch that fixes most of the performance issues. No idea if that's true or not.

Even with PC control issues included, it was still worth it for the co-op. You just had to be careful about which cars you drove. Oh, and spray painting a tag was irritating as hell.

But if you've got a pal to play it with, it's a grand time.

I'm really tempted to get SR3, but I dunno, those GTA type games always end up keeping my attention for a few hours and then I just end up walking away from them.

Saints Row 3 is insane enough to be enjoyed all the way through, especially when the game goes batshit fucking crazy (even for itself) near the end.

Hmm, I'm interested in the Sims, though I played the first one and got bored after an hour. It's like going through the routines of real life, except in a game. Get up, brush your teeth, go to work, eat, sleep, poop etc. But I keep hearing people loving the game. I'm tempted to give it a shot and see what the third game is like.

What made me stop playing the sims, back in sims 1, was the time dilation effect. I made a "dream house" based on a real floorplan and it took the guy an hour to stand up from his desk in his bedroom to get to the front door when his ride to work arrived.

That and no weekends.

My biggest problem with the Sims was always that it was addicting, and difficult to stop playing, but I wasn't having any fun. I could spend 2 of the most boring hours of my life playing Sims, but even though I was bored the entire time I couldn't walk away. Eventually I managed to delete the game from my system and aside from a brief relapse with Facebook Sims, I've been clean ever since. Now I don't even have my Facebook account anymore, so it's one less temptation.

You know what they need to do? Remake SimTown with the Sims engine and customization.

Really, half the fun of the Sims is the creation process, not the actual dealing with making your character take baths, eat, and poop. If they just made all the general crap entirely automatic but let me populate a city with houses, shops, people, etc... I would love it. I can zoom in to see what the Sim is doing in general, but you never control him, instead worrying about the general town management.

What's Claptrap's Robot Revolution like? Any good? It's the only Borderlands DLC I don't have yet. I can't play Borderlands on this rig, but the good thing about Steam is that I can wait until I have a newer, better rig to try it.

Also, four days of sales, I predict they're going to be: Borderlands day, Duke Nukem Forever day, Civilization day, and X-Com day. Possibly Bioshock and/or Mafia somewhere in there too.

Hey Canadians, if you've ever wanted to own an Xbox 360 and haven't bought one yet, you can get the 4GB HD version for 129.99 from ebgames.ca

Just a heads up.
 
Frank

Frank

Well, considering the 250GB model still goes for 300. You could pick up the 4 gig model and an overpriced 360 HD for less than the cost of the 250 model.

Just a heads up, I own the GOG version of I76 arsenal, and you have to do some monkeying to get it to work right. The AI in the game was dependent on the clock cycles taking a certain amount of time, which obviously goes about a jillion times faster nowadays. That makes the AI do some crazy things, as if it had been hopped up on goofballs.
