 "Crazy Deals emerge on Steam")
As part of their Midweek Madness, Steam has drastically knocked down the prices of three pretty sweet games - Just Cause 2, Killing Floor and Metro 2033.
Killing Floor is a highly enjoyable first person, co-operative survival shooter in the vein of the Left 4 Dead series. It’s now available for $5.10 (Rs. 231) and this includes not only the game, but also The Twisted Event DLC, which brings with it new levels, creatures, weapons and achievements.
Just Cause 2 is the over-the-top sequel to Just Cause where players abandon all the rules of gravity and realism in favor of some balls-out insane gameplay. This is probably the only game out there that allows players to skateboard on an aircraft. Indulge in these mindless shenanigans for $7.49 (Rs. 339).
Pardon the horrible photoshopping
And finally, we come to Metro 2033 - a first person survival horror set deep within the mutant infected Metros of Russia. Developed by relatively new Ukranian studio 4A games, the game went on to receive largely positive reviews that praised it for its nail-biting atmosphere and intense gameplay. This game will set you back by $9.99 (Rs. 452).
I’m assuming this is Valve’s way of warming us up to the deluge of awesome deals that would be coming our way via their ginormous Christmas sale.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
