I bought bioshock when it was first released on steam.. and i have never stopped playing this game to date.(i have forgotten how many times i have run through this game)
For me its one of the most unique FPS on the market (at least on the day of it's release) and still enjoy bioshock now.. I just Envy those who pick it up at the price offered by steam..
It looks great on a 9600GT,And i am looking forward to see how it looks on a ATI 4870 in the near future...

Re: Steams New Year Offers Now On
Some GREAT deals there. Too bad I don't have access to a credit card, otherwise I'd buy alot of games and store them until I can actually play them.

I might set up a Paypal account.  I've heard of it before, but never got round to making one. But probably now, as a second thought, I might not purchase them because I can't play them straight away, I'll need a new rig first. Otherwise if I do get round to getting some Steam games, I'll keep them ready for the day a new rig awakens.

Sounded good, but it's just not there. Maybe it's not available in this area, but that's strange, because IIRC a friend of mine bought it on Steam.

Re: Steams New Year Offers Now On
I know, but I'm currently saving up for a new rig (eventually). And my parent's probably won't want to buy me those games, and if they did, I'd rather have the money put towards a new PC, because theres no point in having some games if I can't use them.

Re: Steams New Year Offers Now On
Bought Bioshock too. It took me more than hour to get it working - the game didn't start at all, freezing at the Bioshock splash screen. So I googled, tried almost everything and in the end I got it working by uninstalling OpenAL.
