Steam Sale is now up

Aye, but Super Street Fighter IV comes out...some time. I don't know if Capcom has announced a release date yet. That's the only reason I'm going to pass on SFIV. That, and playing a fighting game using a keyboard and mouse sounds like an awkward experience and there isn't sufficient reason to drop money on a PC-only arcade/fighting game joystick.

Half-Life: Source, Multiwinia + Darwinia, and Shattered Horizon caught my eye. I'll at least pick up the Multiwinia + Darwinia bundle and will probably cave and get Half-Life: Source as well. Whether or not I get Shattered Horizon will likely depend on how many ToJ members pick it up.

I don't have an uber desktop computer to run Crysis (just a notebook computer with a respectable video card that runs Left 4 Dead 2 at medium range settings quite well), so I'll pass on it, too. I have enough multiplayer FPS games to keep me busy for a while now.

Medieval War II doesn't come with the expansion and the bundle that does include the expansion is still regular price ($30 USD). I also have Dawn of War to play through, so I can get my RTS fix that way.

You could use a PC Gamepad or an Xbox 360 controller.

But it will be a long time till its a PC version as its currently Consoles only.

actually the system reqs for SH are much higher then crysis.

Well, Shattered Horizon is much crazier FPS game as your adjusting to Zero Gravity.

Also, this warning too: Shattered Horizon requires DirectX 10, a DirectX 10 compatible video card, and Windows Vista or Windows 7. There is no support for Windows XP or DirectX 9.

Then I'll skip Shattered Horizon, too. No sense buying something that I can't play at a full 30 frames per second.

Also, I noticed that the Half-Life: Source pack includes Half-Life Deathmatch: Source. I was debating not getting (even going so far as to remove it from my Cart) when I noticed that HLDM: Source is included. I went ahead and re-added it to my cart and bought it, along with the Multiwinia + Darwinia pack.
 
I'm skipping HL:Source because I'm still waiting for Black Mesa to be released. Also, SFIV is really tempting... although I just bought Fallout 3(GOTY Edition) so that'll keep me occupied for a while.
 
For those looking for PC fighting sticks, this works for both PS3/PC and is rather cheap.

On the fence for SF4... my ping may be an issue...

Crysis also has your favorite thing Tek Secure-rom.
 
Curse you Steam! My bank account cries out for mercy!

I caved (again) for SFVI and Darwinia / Multiwinia, how fortunate then that my 360 controller adaptor decided to up and start working again today.

It appears that I have had HLDM:S without ever actually noticing; we should try to do some of that one of these days, I've gotten quite a few kicks out of HLDM at LANs before.
 
looks like my wallet can have a rest today, I am not really interested in the sales. Doom3 interests me a little but not $14 worth. The trials HD demo was neat on my 360, not sure I would play it on my PC.
