I don't think so. IIRC, there is competitive MP.

I'v also heard the PC version can be difficult to get working. This was last year though.

Nice! I've been thinking about upgrading to quad core. You mind PMing me what you did (like what cpu and such?)

My Phenom 940 plays it like silk, thank you very much. :cool:

GTA IV is a great game and 8 hours in I haven't had one bug or problem yet.

Oh and to those of you who purchased commandos... be prepared to be frustrated often.

Good games but but on the higher end of the hard scale.

As tempting as gta and red faction are....I am going to stick it out for a total war and/or borderlands deal. I still have steam Xmas items unplayed (mass effect and assassins creed)

This game is so fun, very underrated. I am for sure buying it when I get home tonite.

Really? On a E8400? I have mine overclocked to 3.8ghz right now and am still have some stuttering issues. I can play it, but it is hardly "fine." Did you do any tweaks?

Nice, I've heard this game REALLY likes quad cores.

Commandos 2...the last few levels were just impossible.

I have GTA IV on my PC (E6600) and while I do have to turn down the detail it runs just fine. I'm not a graphics whore like some are though so YMMV.

EDIT: I ended up getting the Borderlands General Knoxx expansion because a few dollars isn't going to make a huge difference for me at that price point.

Nice, I need to open a new thread in the appropriate forum about getting a new CPU, the AMD's are looking tempting.

Edit (and off topic but what the hell lol): What about this deal? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.431711

I decided to just buy that too.

Red Faction looks like an incomplete thought and Torchlight is just a way to distract me until Diablo 3 comes out. I just can't imagine playing a game like that without multiplayer. It's just not the same. Plus, most of you said it gets super boring later in the game.

I ended up buying Flatout: UC, Shatter, and Red Faction. Flatout got "fueled" so no playing that one yet for me.

puzzle kingdom is only $1. Puzzle quest was fun..so I might add that on to my next purchase. Can't wait to see what the next set of deals are..i'm going to be out of town so I'll have to purchase over my iPhone if it's anything worthwhile.

And if Borderlands goes on sale and the 4 pack is cheap, anyone want to go in with me?

I bought Puzzle Kingdoms a few days ago. It's like a crappier version of Puzzle Quest. I'd give that game a 3/10.

You'll get your $1 of entertainment out of it, no doubt. But then when you stop playing, you'll wish you didn't spend that $1 to begin with.

Was thinking about getting PB Winterbottom today but I decided I already have too much to play. I'm shocked at myself.

Wow, Flat Out is a great looking game. I can't believe it was so cheap.

EDIT: Forgot to add. I bought San Andreas and Thief. I'm going on vacay for the rest of the week though so I won't get to see what else will be on sale. Hopefully I don't miss out!
