Assassins creed would have been so fun if it wasnt full of massive bugs and the most repetative game play style I've ever seen (other than say, diablo 2.)
You do the same exact missions, in every single city. So the scenery changes and that's it. The game gets boring after a couple hours.

I was just getting ready to post this. I know I've waited quite some time for assassin's creed to go on sale... so you can bet I'll be buying it.

I have this on xbox, how is it on pc? I hate how it gets repetitive, but I still have fun.

They added some different missions in the PC version which should help make it less repetitive, I haven't played it on console so I don't know which type of missions weren't in the console version. I'd say it's definitely worth $10 if you haven't played it before. If you already have it on xbox, well, that's up to you. The PC version does have more content, I'm not sure exactly how much though.

Someone call it out if Left4Dead goes on sale again. My bro might pick it up and I want him joinin' up!!!

Pass. I was thinking on the Assassin's Creed deal yesterday but 'repetitive gameplay' kept coming up in my searches. Here's hoping there will be some other worthwhile <$10 Ubisoft games.

I snagged Assassin's Creed for $10... I really couldn't pass that up. Even if it's repetitive, I'll enjoy exploring the city enough to justify $10.

$10 is about right considering Ubisoft's games lately........

Today's game is BIA: Hell's Highway for $15
I've played both the original Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood. It's a good series. I think it is worth $15 to get the latest installment, but keep in mind that this is not a very multi-player friendly game.

Meh. I will eat the $5 so I don't have to mess around with ever having to use discs.

I still suggest you buy it from newegg. You can easily add the game to your Steam account by using the cd-key, thus you save $5 and still don't have to worry about discs.

I think that only works for Valve games and Steamworks supported games, BIA is not a Steamworks supported game as far as I know. You can add the shortcut to your Steam games list, but you can't actually add the game to your account.

BIA is indeed not on the list.

Is Farcry 2 the Thursday game? I noticed it is marked down to $15. We shall see if this is an early leak when Steam is updated.

^^ Ahh thanks for posting, that's a good list to have. There are actually more games on the list than I thought.
Today's game is Far Cry 2 for $14.99. I know a lot of people thought it was repetitive, but I enjoyed it. I definitely think it's worth $15 if you don't already have it.

+1 .
Iam about to finish FC2 myself and the game was a-ok ; specialy once you get past the 25-30% mark where the game improves . For $15 its worth a grab (let alone no DRM with Steam) .

I second the Far Cry opinion. Definitely worth $15 if you don't have it.
The funny thing is, it was marked down to $15 for about an hour while BIA: Hells Highway was still the official "50% off" game. And BIA: Hells Highway is still showing as 50% off. Someone could conceivably purchase both for $30 in a single transaction.
If Valve does the same thing tomorrow then we'll be able to predict the final game of the sale.

FC2 is tempting. Wish it was $10, though.
Can anybody comment on the DLC (downloadable content)? What is it? Why are they charging extra?
Also, the SD forum is saying you still get securom even if you purchase this through STEAM. Anybody know for sure?

I found FC2 to be one of the best shooters of 2008 for me. I had LOADS of fun. Happy to pick it up on steam for 15$ as a gift for my brother :D
Any idea what the game for today is gonna be? Its still FC2.

There's no indication yet. We won't know for 2-3 hours what the weekend deal game will be.

And the weekend sale isn't a game, but a pack of 4 older games. Beyond Good and Evil, Dark Messiah Might & Magic, Far Cry and IL2: 1946 all for $10.
Leviathan41
03-27-09, 02:43 PM
Also, the Far Cry 2 sale has been extended. It's still $14.99 for a while.

That's not a bad deal for $10. IL2 is a really good flight sim.
Thanks for that list, I found out I can add my UT3 game to steam :D

Is Dark Messiah anything at all like the older M&M games?
