Mass Effect on Steam is 50% of for Steam’s Weekend Deal. Personally I have NO experience with this game, so I’m hard pressed to offer any advice. The steam forum for the game however seems to be thrilled by the sale and saying that it’s well worth the $9.99 price tag it temporarily totes. Ultimately my advice is to pounce if you’ve been waiting or just have nothing else to play, otherwise save up for one of the other great games that’s come out recently.
Edit: Got around to playing it this morning… Kinda like a halo/rpg hybrid. Ultimately I would say pass on this one, the interface is just to hectic.
GRID™ on Steam. Is 50% off this weekend, So If you’ve been living under a rock or just haven’t had a chance to see what a modern racing game can be these days, PICK THIS ONE UP NOW!
Admittedly I’m not crazy about race games, I played some Gran Turismo 2 back in the day, and I still rather enjoy some Flat Out… but this game is just fantastic. The graphics are 9/10 at worst, the control is 8/10 at worst and the fun factor is 7/10 at worst, which really says alot considering I Don’t usally enjoy racing games.
I’m immediatly headed to the bank to drop some money in my account for this.

Fallout 3 on Steam is 50% off this weekend, and I highly recommend you pick up a copy.
If you’ve got any kind of patience for your video games, then fallout 3 is for you. It’s not your average FPS though, so don’t be fooled. This is more like an FP-RP-S or First Person Role Playing Shooter, and it does take some time to ramp up.
I’ll be combing my couch cushions however, just trying to scrap some change together and pick up fallout 3, It’s that good. Oh and for skills, I’d suggest: Repair, Small Arms, and Medicine.
Peace,

GOG.com.
Go’s got a couple of games on sale right now, and I strongly suggest picking up the later of the two. Painkiller: black edition, if you remember, was 2nd on fatal1ty’s list of the top ten FPS gaems of all time, and even though his listr was a little bias, you can’t dispute this game is great.
Anyways It’s the last day to pick up either of these games on sale, so strongly consider my suggestion.

Left 4 Dead 50% off on Steam.
Right now on steam you can pick up a copy of valves newest hit “Left 4 Dead” at an alarming 50% off. I must say I had avoided buying this game up until this point, solely because of its’ cost… I cant really just ify $50 for a game unless it happens to strike me in just a certain way.
From what I understand so far, this game is essential a little bit Man Hunt mixed with a little bit resident evil, multiplayer. Anyways, I’ll probably purchuse before the weekends out, and will try to post my review accordingly. If you own the game, why not buy a friend a copy, cause “it’s the zombie apocalypse, so you’d better bring friends…”
~peace, Zypher
EDIT:
been playing the game since work, it is pretty fun… I’m kinda running out of stuff to try in single player, but hopefully some mod packs exist out there. Multi-player is fun, and offers a great team-work experience, I’ll be working it into my regiment pretty soon.
Overall its a new valve game, which isn’t bad. It’s not the most inovative game on the market by far, but what it does do, it does right and that means a lot. If you don’t own this game, I’d still suggest picking it up, especially at 50% off.
PS- Watching the zombies fold over with awesome ragdoll effects is quit3e possible my favorite part.
Mount and Blade on Steam.
Mount and Blade is currently 75% off on steam bringing the price down from $29.99 to only $7.50 until tuesday. I’ll try and host their trailer of the game, and they have a demo to try before you buy, which I will be partaking in (Since swords aren’t usually my thing, but the trailer did look decent). Anyways, will edit this after trying the demo, and again if I decide to buy.
~Peace, Zypher
Demo was decent, but nothing spectatular. It was kinda like a blend of rune and medieval total war. I’d buy it but I already own both of those games, It is a pretty major sale though, so if you even think you might want it, get it now.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but pass unless you just really need something to occupy yourself.
ugh, now thats an ugly bitch
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl on Steam is 75% off for the weekend, making it only $4.99. I picked up my copy right away, having heard rumors the game is good. I’ll append this post once it finishes installing and give you more details.
EDIT: Deffinitly worth the five bucks, the game is something like Diablo (the Game) meets… Black (the game)… or something, if anyone even gets both of those references. So, if you’ve got steam, and if you don’t go get it, it’s free, this is deffinitly a game to get. Simple, fun, complex, challanging, engrosing… All words I’d use to describe this game.
