Crysis on sale http://store.steampowered.com/app/17300/

Not bad but it's missing Crysis Wars, which would have made it a better deal. I grabbed it last time Crysis was on sale, a Crysis bundle or whatever. I still haven't played Wars.

On a side note: more PC games need expansion packs.

This just in! Rage will be joining the Bargain Bin!

Yup, half price to celebrate their free DLC released today. :rockout:

This is how all the rest of the software houses should be operating - giving real value to their customers.

Shit, I read portal 2 for $15 and jizzed in my pants.

Sinzia · Oct 4, 2011

Diddn't notice this but Both Crysis and Warhead are on sale aswell as a Complete pack

EDIT : On steam it's got this though on the crysis warhead page.

Includes Crysis Wars, an expanded new multiplayer experience with new online modes and 21 maps including seven all-new maps to battle it out against other players.

If you want to split a 2 pack so its only 13.75, let me know because I'll pick it up in the morning if you want to do the split

Got the Portal Bundle, it's a great deal for $17.49.

Irony · Oct 5, 2011

Did anyone get portal 2 when it was free for a day? I remembered at 1:00am and it was back up to 29.99

Dead Island for $19.99. Has anyone shopped from this site before?

http://cdkeyempire.com/STEAM/Dead-Island-cd-key

digibucc · Oct 6, 2011

does not sound legit, just by the domain name. and i doubt dead island is legally selling for $20 already. methinks it be a scam mano, sorry

n-ster · Oct 6, 2011

CD key is usually for if you bought the game & lost your CD key AFAIK

yeah, I wasn't sure about so I didn't jump on it. I think it said something about activating or connecting to a Russian server...eh

My friend ordered BF3 there for $35, so I'll wait and see if it works for him first, see if he actually receives a working key.

TIGR · Oct 6, 2011

There's quite a number of sites out there like cdkeyempire. Purchases from these places usually work at least in the short-term and/or with a bit more hassle than usual. But it'd be safer and maybe smarter to wait for a great deal from a known source instead.

Yeah, agreed, it's definitely a scam site. One telltale is the way you can't actually find out about the company. A link is usually at the bottom of the page, however, here there's nothing anywhere. Most likely it will just defraud your credit card.

Stay away.

NinkobEi · Oct 6, 2011

"The product will request a RUS IP" thats usually a bad sign. lol.

Max Payne is on sale on D2D. For some reason the 1st game is more expensive than buying both 1 and 2 together, lol
