    Dude, didn't Kingpin get banned at one point or something? I remember getting that game just because it was crazy violent.

    You can get them cheaper at http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout/ without DRM, patched for compatibility, and has a soundtrack. For once, I don't think you should get them from Steam (unless they come in a bundle that's cheaper than $12).
     
    Edit: Just saw someone else already posted this.

    Kingpin was awesome, too bad it was lost in the Columbine bullshit. I think my shitty PC can run it, I'm probably gonna get it.

    Wow. That's convenient, considering that I just wrote my most recent blog on Fallout 1. Those games are worth checking out.

    @crusader8463: The publishers can set the European price to whatever they want. The problem is that they rarely do.
     
    Why is there no bundle that includes Fallout 3 as well? :(

    Joining Steam was the greatest decision I had ever made in my life. Glad to see these old games coming to the service, seeing as I haven't really played a whole lot of PC games, but getting into it.

    Oh man, Kingpin.  Possibly the sweariest game of all time?  Here's a cool story for you, bros:  I spent about 7 hours downloading the Kingpin demo back in the day and then it didn't work because I didn't have a 3dfx card.  Jesus rage.   
     
    It's still worth checking out just for the dialogue near the start of the game which goes something like this:
     
    "Hey, man, you gotta dollar?"
    "Shit, man!  I ain't got a dollar!"
    "Fuckin' piss off!" 
     
    Classic.
     
    If you're still not convinced, here's the intro:

    @Emilio: But couldn't they work out some sort of deal? The games are already there; it's just not possible to purchase them all in a single package, which I think would be nice.
