how much games can I get for this watch – Steam

Tyanon — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:25:48 +0000

Steam has recently launched a “stay inside for summer sale”. The timing could not be more perfect as hundreds of thousands of gamers are bouncing around games trying to find something that appeals to them..

Steam has deeply discounted over 200 games and most are 50-75% off with some as high as 90% off. They also have daily deals that change at 10am PST which typically includes some newer release type games.

If you have a lot of money, head to Steam today and load up. If you have no money, do not follow the link in this post. If you can find a dollar, go buy Puzzle Kingdoms which is 90% off and costs $1. It is the most entertaining game you will find for a dollar!

The only thing missing from Steam’s Summer Sale is financing options and a way to hock your belongings for games.

The sale ends July 4th.

So far this sale I have purchased: Puzzle Kingoms, Altitude, Age of Booty, Avencast, Introversion Pack. Looking to grab Killing Floors and Champions Online soon.

Steam Deals -Fallout 3, Oblivion

Tyanon — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:03:33 +0000

Head to the steam deals for Fallout 3 for $29.99, probably one of the best games I have ever played, and I am not a fan of the genre.

Oblivion was amazing too. They have the GOTY edition with a ton of DLC for $8.50 here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/900883/

I purchased Oblivion just a minute ago.

Cheers.

Steam giving away Portal for free

Fileplanet changes

Tyanon — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:21:38 +0000

Seems like Fileplanet is changing the way it does business a little bit. I personally pay for an account at Fileplanet and I believe it is around 3$ per month. Now they are pushing for more free/no signup downloads so a subscription might not be as important. Bandwith seems to be coming down in price on the internet and they seem to be passing on the savings to people, which is odd.

I do like the fact that they have gotten me into a couple cool betas for being a subscriber. At $20 a year, this deal is pretty nice. I plan to extend my subscription with this deal, but I think it is only good for a couple more days.

“To kick-off the new look and feel of FilePlanet, we’re slashing the annual subscription price 50%, which will be available this week only for $19.95. As part of the overall redesign, we’re is also removing the need to register on the site for free downloads, which means faster access for non-subscribers as well. “
