    It's better to buy from GoG.com. No DRM, and it's cheaper than Steam in AU/NZ. US$30 until October 6th.

    Not for Steam, but a deal nonetheless.

    34b4dd69bav4uvuyh - 25% off shooter games on EA Origin, good for the next 5 days only.

    No idea if it's single use. But I have no intention of using Origin so I don't really need it.

    Hi, today's Deal is Titan Quest Gold Edition and I'm looking for something to tide me over until D3 arrives. Unfortunately I can only get the German low violence version that is also only with the German translation.
    So now I'm looking for someone willing to buy the normal English version of the game and gift it to me. I would of course pay that someone over PayPal or buy and gift something of equal value over Steam.
    It's just 2.50€ for the Gold Edition (maybe 3$ in the US? I don't know) so it shouldn't be that big a risk. I would really appreciate it if someone helped me out.

    Hey, are you still looking for somebody to buy it? Would anybody else on DLP be willing to get a multiplayer game going?

    Any third era GTA titles worth getting besides San Andreas? Got it, loved it, played 70 hours of it the last time the series was on sale. But I've heard SA is far and away the best of the three (GTAIII and Vice City).

    Vice City was great, but there's some nostalgia glasses there. I liked it almost as much as San Andreas, and gimmicking the game into letting you explore areas you weren't supposed to was fun. I always sniped boat drivers headed towards land, the boat would run right up to shore and I'd go wherever I wanted. GTAIII was supposed to be good for its time, but it seems to have aged badly.

    I personally think San Andreas was the peak of the game. It let you explore much more than the others and there were less restrictions on what you could ride/steal in terms of vehicles. That being said I never did quite finish it, as my computer got wiped before I could finish the last mission :(

    With that being said, I will probably pick up the complete pack. Costs me 17.94 US I think which is good enough since I will probably play SA, VC, LC stories and IV.

    Vice City was/is awesome and I personally like Tommy Vercetti much better than CJ. :

    Liberty City was good when I first played it, but I don't think I could play it again.

    PCgamer was talking about mods that turn GTA4 into the best game of the series by tweaking nearly everything from controls to massive graphical update. Cbf to dig it out atm though and figure out what it was called, but I want to reinstall it and have another go.
