Hey guys,

I don't usually post about sales, but this one is too good to pass up. Bioshock for just $5? There's a ton of deals on here, just about every new game is at least marked down 5-10%, and many titles are even 50-75% off. Find any good deals?

I'd probably just buy The Orange Box, but I'm a bit strapped for cash ATM... I need to save up for Halo Wars when it comes out in february, and also a GTX 260.

Finished Portal. It's EXCELLENT!!! And it has cake.

Oh god. Now I probably have turned into one of those nutcases that assume that mentioning cake, still alive or anything related to portal will make them an instant comedian.

Bioshock and GTA IV bought. Thought I'd buy GTA IV through Steam rather than pay same sort of price in shop as updating should be easier, but it's going to take forever to download, so be warned if you buy a big game you could be waiting a long time before you actually get to play.

Boo!

Really? I did not like it all. Its not the same as TFC. they took out all the special grenade business, and made it so the turrets can go full swing, making them wicked hard to take out.

Unless they added that in a patch since I last played, turrets can't go full swing .

I picked up the orange box and Vigil: Blood Bitterness. They weren't reduced by that much but it was about time I got them.

Vigil's strange... but cost less than £3.00, which is worth two cups of tea in some places. I'd rather have this than the tea, so... yeah.
