Mirror's Edge, Riddick and Call of Juarez BiB are all great games and well worth those prices in my opinion. Unfortunately I have them all.

Might get Riddick to have a digital version.

You know, I was close as all hell to buying KOTOR, even though I have it physically. I found myself almost saying, "well it's on steam, so screw the physical media, I could give that away as a gift..."

I tend to rebuy games on Steam when they are under $10... that's both to have an easy access version and to support PC gaming and Steam in general.

Plus when they're older titles, like KotOR, I would like to think it fosters more rereleases of older classics on Steam, many of which I do not own anymore.

I got KOTOR and it told me my drivers files are from incompatible versions of the Nvidia drivers. And never launched. Not. Happy.

Old games often require minor tweaks to get working you know. KotOR works fine on my nVidia powered rig.

Out of the THQ Complete Pack, neither Red Faction nor Red Faction 2 work for me. Red Faction won't even load, and Red Faction 2 loads, but then locks solid in the menus. Apparently this is something to do with having a DX10 or DX10.1 compliant GPU. So that's two games where Steam fails. Good Old Games would have had that working, like the do Freespace 2 et al. And Pure Faction is not a fix, so don't say it is. Poor showing, Volition, THQ and Valve.

That said, the THQ complete pack got me multiple games I've been thinking about getting (Dawn of War 2, Saints Row 2, the two Company of Heroes addons and Red Faction Guerilla) for less than Dawn of War 2 would cost me. So I can't complain too loudly. Just annoying that RF2 won't work. :evil:

And I officially hate Games for Windows Live even more than I did. Bah.

Red Faction and Red Faction 2 both work with easy tweaks that are in the Steam forums. Old games often require such tweaks, I don't know why you didn't automatically look for them.

Red Faction is still fun today.

Direct2Drive is now doing a "24 games til Christmas" thing with a new game deal everyday.

Today's is Mirror's Edge for $5, echoing the Steam deal the other day.

Nice. Another tab to leave open in FF for the next month. ;)

The industry has realized that weekend deals/madness sales/holiday specials/etc. will entice far more money out of my wallet than confronting full MSRP all the time. I will buy more of what I want, more for my friends/family, and even things of just passing interest when the price is right.
