Not counting the 33 percent off Summer Sale, the game hasn't gone on sale in years, so it's probably worth buying.
Holy fuck this game is good. I enjoyed it more than Deus Ex. Deus Ex has the better story but Bloodlines has much more fun combat and pretty nice graphics. Just download the fan patch.

discussion about publishers only being interested in spending time on projects that will accrue money ?

Code:
To use the patch with the Steam version run the unpatched game once,
then disable "Steam Community In Game" and "Automatic update" before

installing to \steamapps\common\vampire the masquerade - bloodlines.It doesn't fix the resolution issues, so here's a widescreen patch: http://www.fileplanet.com/156598/150000/fileinfo/Vampire-The-Masquerade:-Bloodlines---Resolution-Patcher
Code:
Copy the respatcher exe file to the Vampire Bloodlines bin folder, where engine.dll is.
The patcher will modify the engine.dll file, so make a backup copy of the file first, just in case...
Execute the patcher, and a screen will display allowing you to select all the available widescreen
resolutions. But you're not done yet; if you stop there, the game will match your resolution,
but look horrendous.
You need now to go into your vampire\cfg folder. Open up your "autoexec" file in Notepad and put in FOV "70".Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Vandamguy - 07-29-2011

[/quote]It ends up in your steamapps/common/vampire the masquerade - bloodlines/extras folder, it's not installed by default. So you still need to run it.
Additionally, you may need this memory fix to launch it the first time: http://iain.cx/articles/bloodlines/index.html?part5

This is a hardware deal, but anybody who needs a quick computer upgrade could use it. Tomorrow EVGA will be selling GTX460's for $90. Link below.

Sword of the Stars is $10 on Steam. It's an excellent turn based 4x game in the style of the Total War games. Great multiplayer.

Magicka and all DLC 75% off for the rest of the day. Rather worth it for a funny, quirky game.

Alpha Protocol is 2 dollars right now on Steam.
Edit: It's a sale on all Sega games apparently. So, like, cheap Genesis games too and stuff.
