Steam Summer Sale

[Double A]

Men of War assault Squad is on sale for $8.74. I am so picking this up.

I noticed that quite a few of the games today are modern shooters. What distinguishes MoW from the other four?

Why hate Steam when there is something much deserving of your hate? Games for Windows Live. I was considering Fable 3, then saw some guff about GFWL and it was an immediate "Not buying this, even if it goes to 99% off".

MoW isnt a shooter. Its a cross between an RTS and a third person shooter. For the most part you direct your units, tell them where to go and who to attack and such, but you can also directly control a unit as in a 3rd person shooter. Also the cover system is much more elaborate than in most RTS games. Unlike other RTS's where your units have hit points, MoW has a system where while units do have hitpoints, a bullet will still kill your men. Hitpoints is more for when artillery hits nearby and your men take shrapnel. But be warned: this is not Company of Heroes, it requires a ton of micromanaging, and is best played with a friend.

Just try the demo, see if you will like it.

Did a The Settlers VII Deluxe Gold Edition bargain pass through ?

Does anyone else think that the pics that they have on the front page are hilarious?

[Double A]

Yes. Very yes.

I don't hate Steam. Why would I be buying games on something I hate?

I wasn't asking you, it was just a general musing.

[Double A]

Ah.

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is only $5 on Steam today. It has all 4 of the factions for multiplayer but only a couple super small mini-campaigns for singleplayer.

The complete pack is $12.49 if you want the good campaigns too.

Its seriously one of the best games ever made so do yourself a favor.

TBH I couldnt go back to CoH once I played Men of War.

I don't see why. They're two totally different games striving for different things in different strategy sub genres, and they both excel at those things brilliantly.

To me this is like saying "I couldn't go back to Battlefield 2 after I played Red Orchestra."

But to each his own.

[Drunk Clown]

Graphic, do you play CoH frequently?

[Hooahguy]

Mass Effect 1 & 2 as well as Fallout 3 are all under $10 now.
