I love the big Steam sales - they lower many games to the range where I can afford to buy them. I think I paid £8 for Team Fortress 2 but as good as it is for £25 I would never have bought it. Between £5 - 10 I'm willing to buy nearly any game that I think seems good. For less than £4 I'll buy nearly anything. I have bought a couple of games for the full price at release, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 being a notable example, but that title was of fantastic quality and has huge amounts of replayability value, something I cannot say of most games I encounter.

That's quite an interesting idea actually. Worth considering.

I pirated the game and enjoyed it. At times it got a bit frustrating but in general it was very good. I like the idea of an amnesty like this, so much so that I've now stepped up and paid.

I didn't write this article!
I never thought I'd see another "Benjamin Fox" on slashdot..
