Well fuck me, that’s less than I paid to Kickstart the game!

Steam today: Pro Cycling Manager 2014 - $14.95 - 66% off.
[indent]Oddly, this daily special expires over 5 days from now. Is this a new Steam policy change? Grim Dawn’s sale, yesterday’s daily, will end tomorrow…[/indent]

Steam weeklongs. I don’t have much time this week, but lemme do a quick scan:
[ul]

This is an amazing game guys. Amazing.

I don’t know if this qualifies as a bargain, but maybe someone will save some money.

Star Citizen is free to try until March 15th.

Code: PAXEASTFREEFLY2K15

Yay, long load times and crazy flight models for free!

At this point, I wouldn’t care if they sell it for a $1 as long as they get enough to finish the game. I backed this on the devs’ website in 2009, I think.

Play now for free, my starlord.

Silent Storm Gold edition is $2.49 on Steam. Worth it?

Silent Storm is easily worth that much assuming the Steam version runs OK. The original game wouldn’t run on PCs with more than 3GB of RAM without a patch. I would hope they fixed that before releasing it on Steam, but I haven’t tried that version.

If you like WWII themed turn based squad level games with a really tight combat engine, yes.

If you like games like JA2 or XCOM, yeah. Silent Storm Gold seems to come without Starforce DRM too, I hope they’ll release Hammer&Sickle and Nightwatch on Steam next.

I’m in then, since JA2 and XCOM are on my top 10 list of favorite games!

Hey, question about Green Man Gaming’s specials and such: am I correct in assuming that the %23 off coupons (and the like) can’t be combined with the VIP prices?

Correct, as the VIP deals are already heavily discounted.

Thanks. BTW, I don’t know what the heck prompted me to write 23% like that up there.

Good game. Great game if you mod out the Panzerkleins

Just unpack those zipped files (move the entire folder with the mod name) into the game’s main directory. Then, launch the game and install the mod by selecting “custom game” from the game’s main screen, prior to starting a new game. No more Panzerklein.”

I’ve often wondered if such a mod existed. Glad to know that it does.
