Insane Steam Discounts

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

So you thought the X-mas sales are over? think again. Just when the X-mas spirit’s about to start it’s is decline, the guys at Steam decided that it’s about time to wear the corporate Santa Hat, offering 10-75% discount on ALL GAMES in their catalogue ’til January 2. This makes people who splurged a lot during the Holiday peaks squeeze their budget a little more for the biggest bang for the buck deal yet…  and makes those guys who bought Steam games yesterday before the sale was announced, the most regretful bunch of “sucks to be you”s.

Here are some of the best selling Steam games since Steam Holiday Sale discounts has taken effect

The Prowess of a PC gamer: Was the PC meant to play games?

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Dont you just wish that PC games wont have extra price tags everytime you buy em? I’m sure you know what I mean… yesterday you bought FarCry 2 and thought your PC was the powerhouse of the century… seconds later, GTA4 tells you that you cant even run the game on low settings. This is probably the PC Gamer’s worst nightmare. You’ll burn your credit card in the process that I assure you.

Aside from losing tons of money, you’ll often find yourself smothering your ass with bugs that would probably be addressed weeks after you’ve purchased the game. Lets face it, the PC isnt noob friendly…


Console gaming: Insert Disk, Download update (*Optional), pick up controller, play online (*Optional), Enjoy

PC Gaming ver 1: Insert disk/Download copy(*Optional),Install, type CD-key, Check stock for controller if recommended, get mouse and keyboard, enjoy
PC Gaming ver 2: Insert disk/Download copy (*Optional), Install, Type in CD-key (If problem persists, go to tech support), Problem (Wait for a patch), PC having a hard time ( update your driver), PC wasnt strong enough (Buy more buffs for your PC), tweak settings to optimize gameplay, pick up keyboard and mouse (Adjust the sensitivity to suit your playstyle), Enjoy???

yeah… thats a lot of fun. Dont get me wrong though, I still think that PC games rock. its just that sometimes i wish that PC games arent that demanding… if only games would have the same meta requirements.
