    Wow, really great offers .... but im no big fan of buying a virtual copy. I need to hold it in my hand and say: "BEHOLD! THIS IS MINE!!!!". Maybe i change my point of view just once..... :)

    Hey there are neat puzzle games there too... I know some people that may like those. I'm a nub... would these work without having to run steam all the time and/or logging in? Because I'd create an account to buy, but I wouldn't want the recipient to be using that account, only the game.

    You can 'gift' games, but they would need a Steam account (though separate from yours)

    Isn't the sale supposed to run through 4th July or something? How's it work?

    Also, awesome how there's hundreds of offers to look through, I just came back from work and am already running late for school.
    Oh well, school can wait a bit I guess

    holy crap... square/eidos pack.

    most of the games are kinda crappy, but:
    Batman: arkham
    Deus Ex 1 & 2
    hitman 1 & 2
    Supreme Commander 2 (i never realized this actually came out)
    i guess most of the other games are worth at least one playthrough... $75. not a bad deal.

    The Deus Ex pack was actually 5USD by itself. Got that so fast, weren't even funny.

    Was astounded on how far games have come in a relatively short time.

    2:40 in the morning and I think I skimmed through all the games. There's nothing that would make me go omg after checking reviews and Youtube gameplay for just about every one of them that looked half decent. I'll be sure to swoop Portal 2 though. Meh need sleep.
