yeah that's a pretty rad deal. SR3 is almost done downloading and I can't wait to try it.

I just traded for Metro 2033 the other day, I didn't care for Darksiders, but I've always wanted to check out RFA and Company of Heroes. So even without SR3 it's a pretty good deal. Would've never been able to buy RFA and the three CoH games for $5.50.

I already have everything except Saint's Row 3. These are all great games, except I'm not a fan of Metro.

Saints Row 3 is phenomenal. The average price is $5.73, which it's at least worth. Usually I don't like open-world games because they're more open than fun. This is entirely great, though.

Yeah, Metro...I wouldn't say it's bored me but I don't find it to be fun. It's a weird line it walks.

It's like I don't even know you people. Metro was fantastic.

I think I'd give it another chance. I stopped pretty early on, after killing a bunch of werewolf like things that came out of ceiling grates, and then I remember something about pushing a cart down a subway tunnel or something.

That's really early on, and I'm only an hour or so past that. I plan on continuing it, but the monster combat is unexciting and the gunplay is so-so. It was fun when I had to tackle a group of bandits in a small sandbox-style base. Hope there are more of those.

The best part of it is its visuals so far; I can max it out and it's really pretty. I want to continue just to see the sights, for what that's worth.

Metro 2033 is brilliant imo, worth the price of the whole bundle. I say this having not played SR3. And from being burned by SR2's pc-port shittiness.

I played SR3 on PC back whenever and it was pretty good. Miles better than SR2 in terms of optimization.

Darksiders is fun.

And this opinion seems to make people mad.

Its cheesy, trying too hard to be serious but its fucking fun.

Darksiders is a great Zelda game. But in all seriousness, it is very good.

The plot in Metro 2033 is cool and the presentation is great. I was expecting something more along the lines of Stalker but it's quite different. I'm going to keep with it since I'm so early on, but so far, I mean to say, it hasn't hooked me.

Yep I'm surprised how well SR3 runs. Maxed out, no hitches. Apparently you can get some weird slowdowns and lockups but I think those must've been patched because I haven't experienced any of them doing the activities that should trigger them. There are also a few performance-enhancing mods.

I haven't played any of these games either, with the exception of Metro 2033 which I was thoroughly disappointed with. In saying that I was very impressed with this bundle and was sad that my current computer would not be able to handle playing any of these games. I sincerely hope that those of you who did get the bundle enjoy each and every moment of play time.

Company of Heroes is my favorite RTS of all time.
