Games on SALE!

Valve has a free week of you trying to play Team Fortress 2, but being unable to because every server is full and the ones that aren't are empty/laggy/password protected, starting today.
Fixed to make it more accurate. I have NEVER been able to play during one of their free weeks because everyone and their mother fills up all the public servers.

But you can play offline now! Against Bots! That are dumb as bricks!*

*except for aiming, you'll see Demomen who can flawlessly hit scouts with the grenade launcher, despite being too dumb to use stickies on a sentry.
 
It just sort of feels like Valve doesn't think anything through when it comes to releasing games or setting free weeks. Doing ether causes their servers to crash every time.

That's a great deal, but it's just one long escort quest, right?
No. It's a string of "escort the helpless NPC from an unrelenting onslaught of enemies" missions wrapped around in a plot with some of the most awkward retconning of all time.

In terms of disappointing sequels, this is probably up there with Deus Ex: Invisible War. If you loved the original Bioshock, stay away from this.

Let me put it this way: It's the Dragon Age 2 of the "____ Shock" franchise. :-P

There are rumors of summer themed achievements being added to various indie games, but I don't know if they're true. So, no confirmation that a sale is going to happen.​
