Tom Clancy sale is very "meh" for me. I might have jumped on a huge bundle, with amazing savings, but this isn't that.

Might pick up Conviction for $7, havent played a Splinter Cell game since Chaos Theory.
The steam forums are riddled with threads of 'won't work' for the splinter cell series.
What's the DRM for the STEAM Splinter Cell games?
Does it still use StarForce or whatever that abysmal mess was called?
Conviction uses the same DRM that AC2 uses. you must have an active internet connection to start the game.Quote:

Seems to be happening alot with Steam sales lately, I just know I wont have time to play regardless of price
Yeah, it did.Quote:

Expires in 4 hours. This game is awesome and I recommend it.
COD: MW1 and 2 on sale for $15/$20 respectively. Cheapest Ive ever seen either game.
Both MW2 map packs are on sale for $7.50 as well.
Picked up "Red Faction Guerrilla" for $5 over the weekend. Really an addicting game. Some of it is getting repetitive, but the basic, destructible environment is really well done.
This is a 100% console game, so much so that I hooked up a joypad to be able to control the vehicles. Even so, the ability to run around Mars and tear everything down with a sledgehammer is loads of fun.
Well worth the $5. A great thing about playing games a couple of years after release is that they're all patched up. I read reviews stating that there were a lot of performance problems with Guerrilla, but I haven't run into any. My assumption is that patches long since solved such issues. The visuals are pretty good, not stellar but not bad. The physics are top notch, Half Life 2 level good. That's what makes the game. Everything blows up like it should, even the vehicles benefit from the superb physics model.
Two thumbs up on this one.
I concur, Red Faction Guerrilla is awesome.
Red Faction 1 was sooooo much fun back in the ol' 56K modem days. I'm glad to see that franchise has had some success.
It's been said that good writing always comes around.
