   Yet another game I wish I'd waited to buy. It's not one I personally play much but I though it good enough to buy after getting back into real time strategy games a couple of years ago.. For around $8 (just under five pounds in the UK) you can download it now via the steam client. I bought it together with World in Conflict, which I preferred (partly because I like more conventional war games as opposed to the more Sci Fi orientated), so this game was only aired several times, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed with it. If you have Vista and a DX10 ready video card, this is one of those rare games that's been built around the latest incarnation of direct X, though you don't require DX10 to play it. Watch the Steam video, it's the one that persuaded me to actually buy this last year. I think the game was originally released late in 2007, or early 2008.

   Just an addendum to the above. Steam are also offering several games with a percentage off from a developer called Aspyr. Don't get them from Steam. I just bought Death Track: Ressurection for $14.39, you can get it from Fileplanet for $9.95. All the others offered are also available from fileplanet with a much better deal. Go to fileplanets Direct to Drive:

   Aspyr games:

   Mount & Blade:

   You can get them there for half proce. Also Mount & Blade is being sold for 75% off at $7.50. Yet another bargain.

   Wouldn't be able to run this on my laptop, and my desktop is STILL in need of a larger hdd.

   That's a pity; what about Mount & Blade. It's quite a decent RPG action adventure. And death track is a little different to the usual racer.

   This weekends steam bargain is a great deal if you don't already jave it. Call of Duty World at War is selling for 50% off. You will require the free steam client to qualify for the bargain.

   p.s.

   there's a great Vietnam Shooter called Tunnel Rats available via Steam as well for £15.99 ($22)

   AND if you pre-order Damnation (a fututistic shooter with amazing sandbox landscapes and a puzzle aspect to the game), you get Second Sight (a successful shooter from 2004) for free.
