When I first played the new game last Novemebr I really did miss the old charaters, but you soon get used to the new ones. Valve did add a new level several weeks ago called <strong><u>The Passing</u></strong>, where the original characters appear. They help you by shooting zombies (from the roofs of the houses around you, and if you need health packs they even send those down. Plus, you can also find health packs by the side of special infected, but only in the new level. I&#39;ve still not completed that particular level, so we will have to go for it next tim we play. :)</p> <p>I loved the first game and still do, but I do think the second one is slightly better. Though I wasn&#39;t sure at first. Once I became familiar with the game I was sold on the second one. so much so i didn&#39;t play the first one for around 3 months, but now play them both. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7670#post-79350 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 11:14:35 +0000 BentlyTCow 79350@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Same here.. next time we&#39;ll play #2.

You&#39;ll get used to the new special infected, and the weapon choices are much better. I started downloading more of the games I bought when i got up this morning at 8am. initially the download speeds were okay, but already at 11.20, the download speeds are down significantly. In fact I&#39;m only getting 24Kb per second at the moment, which is ridiculous from a 10Mb broadband connection (though quoted broadband connections in the UK are far from the actual download speeds we actually get. </p> <p>Valve must be approaching grid lock. Yesterday I had to keep trying to download as I kept getting the message that the Valve servers were too busy. :) That&#39;s the main problem with these deals, especially the first few days; (plus I tend to buy games that I wouldn&#39;t normally have bothered with, but when you see a game that usually retails at say 12 pounds reduced to a pound&#39; if theres any spark og interest it&#39;s probably worth buying just for the possibility that it may be a great find. :) </p> <p>It took over 12 hours to download Alpha Protocol last night, a game thats less than 5Gb in size.

Wish I had seen this WR&#39;s list earlier so I could have mentioned that you didn&#39;t need GTA IV to get Liberty City as these are stand alone expansions. It can be make them a little more interesting if you have already played the original GTA IV as there are references to it&#39;s events and characters in Liberty City, but that isn&#39;t really needed.</p> <p>The new daily list is:<br /> Audiosurf for $2.50 (75% off) - music puzzle racer using your music<br /> City of Heroes Architect Edition for $9.99 (50% off) - Superhero MMO<br /> Zeno Clash for $3.75 (75%) - unique, quirky, acclaimed indie fighting game<br /> Left 4 Dead 2 for $10.20 (66% off) - Highly acclaimed zombie shooter<br /> Any Hearts of Iron games for 66% off - detailed WWII strategy game<br /> Company of Heroes Complete Pack for $24.99 (50%) - great WWII RPG<br /> Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition for $7.49 (75% off) - 13 Star Wars Games<br /> Supreme Commander 2 for $7.47 (66% off) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7670#post-79294 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:59:05 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 79294@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>actually buddy those prices change in like 1 minute lol.</p> <p><em>Nevermind, apparently their countdown was messed up.

If you like your shooters to scare you, this will do it. 75% off Cost £0.75 or about $1</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Land of Gold: Gangs of the Wild West</u></strong>. Not the best graphics for a game only released several weeks ago, but it was desined in the veign of Team Fortress (IMO). Great fun if you have some friends to play as the main game is Multiplayer, though there is a singleplayer campaign. 66% off. Cost £3.40 or approx $5</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</u></strong>. This is a great game especially if you like the original films. Theres loads to do and you get to use all the ghostbusters equipment, lol. 80% off. Cost £3.00 or approx $4.40</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Galcon Fusion</u></strong>.

Cost £1.75 or approx $$2.25</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Alpha Protocol</u></strong>. I&#39;ve only just bought this so can&#39;t give my opinion on it yet. It looks like an excellent stealth/Spy style game on the lines of Tom Clancy&#39;s Conviction. Both of which are recent releases. Alpha Protocol has only been released for a week. 33% off. Cost £16.74 or approx $25</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Serious Sam HD double pack</u></strong>. This is a brilliant tongue in cheek shooter. Re-released with all new renders from the original that was released over 10 years ago and still has a great online community. Both games are excellent value for money even at full price so todays bargain is a steal. 75% off. Cost £5.50 or approx $8</p> <p><center>------------------------------------------------------------------</center></p> <p><strong><u>Resident Evil 5</u></strong> A fantastic Zombie shooter not disimilar to Left 4 Dead, though the co-op game only onvolves 2 players.

I know that isn&#39;t quite right as there are some duplications and when you look at the individual lists there are usually more.

No it&#39;s not Oblivion, but it&#39;s just as good IMO. Plus there are a growing number og mods available to further expand the game.
