    For those of you who have booted up Steam today you'll probably notice that it's THQ week, I've just purchased and currently in the process of downloading Red Faction: Guerilla, why? I have no idea! It was £3.74! And I already have it on the Xbox!
     
    What are you hoping to see go on sale? I'm hoping the Dawn of War games go on sale, again I have no idea why. I don't like RTS games nor do I like Warhammer.

    Company of heroes maybe, if they are dirt cheap. I wont play them right away, but would be nice to have in my library.

    I should really play Red Faction: Guerilla. I bought it during the summer sale and haven't touched it yet.

    @CaptainObvious:
    Guerilla is fun, well worth playing for a few hours, destroying stuff is awesome. 
     
    I hope metro comes down to 10$ or so.

    I have most THQ games already (all the titan quest games, all the red faction games, saints row 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl) on steam so only ones I would really care about are the Dawn of War games. I'm the same, though, I dont know why but I kind of wanna try 'em out. I dont typically play RTS' but sometimes you need something different. Generally thats when I play RTS' and I havent gotten any in a long long time. So that'd probably be what I'd most want from THQ on steam at this point.

    @SSully don't bother with coh, I love those games, own every one, play them religiously. But thq hasn't patched them in over a year, and it shows. Awful bugs and balance issues that they owned up to last year predominate in online play.

    Darksiders please. But I'm kinda doubtful, probably too new.

    Don't buy CoH expecting to get into the multiplayer scene. Though I would say buy it if you have interest in the single player.

    Probably nothing because I bought the THQ Complete Pack last Thanksgiving.
     
     
    I'd buy Darksiders if it goes 33-50% off.

    Just bought Red Faction Guerilla, I'll get around to it after New Vegas. Probably.
     
    Hopefully Dawn of War 2 comes up for sale.

    I'll get darksiders if its pretty cheap. And I'll recommend DOW2 to people i know if that goes on sale. And people should get metro 2033 if that ever goes on sale because it is really good. 

    But as far as me buying things. darksiders if it goes on sale. It might not cause it was just released

    STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl is always a great buy. Hoping Metro 2033 shows up.
     
    Even though I've never played Metro 2033, I feel completely confident in saying STALKER is better. Open world is fundamentally better than corridors to me.

    Probably nothing D: None of it really interests me. Maybe Metro, but I don't think I would even be able to run it.

    When I saw this thread, I immediately swore, because I would probably end up buying a game I will never actually play.

    I'd buy Saints Row 2, the newest STALKER, and Metro if they're discounted pretty deeply. Glad I already bought Red Faction Guerilla back when it was $2 last sale though, or else I would've done it this time

    I already owned red faction guerilla a long time ago, I didn't install it until I built my new rig. I knew a dual core wasn't enough to play that game. Today I just bought red faction, the first one because I never finished that game on the ps2 before. I want to finish what I started.

     
    What I want to buy from thq is metro 2033 and will only consider it if the game is dirt cheap. I don't think the gameplay is all that good however the graphics are really good.

    Let's see, yesterday I got RF 1 and 2 (got Guerilla for 360 when it first came out), today I got the Titan's Quest bundle, and hopefully, they'll have Chaos Rising, Metro 2033, and Darksiders for cheap as well.

    I bought Titan Quest Gold from some previous sale, so the only benefit to yesterday's sale is that I remember that I own Titan Quest. I'm interested in seeing what they'll offer today.

    If they discount Darksiders I'll buy it.  but i doubt it since it's a fairly new PC game.

    I would buy Metro 2033, but my rig isn't strong enough to move it decently. I barely meet the minimum requirements (though my PC isn't exactly "bad" either). I'm saving for a new Quad Core CPU, so I guess I'll wait till it's on sale again next year :P

    Can anyone tell me if Metro 2033 has ever been cheaper on Steam?  I'd like to gauge if this is a good deal.  I'm definitely tempted and I enjoyed the demo fair enough.
     
    OK nevermind, I see THQ has sold it cheaper a few months back.  I can wait.

    Meh, Frontlines: Fuel of War. OK, I admit €1.5 is really tempting... but do I need another modern combat FPS? It's 12GB... What do you say? Are you buying this?

    Even though it's cheap I didn't bother buying. I know it'll just take up harddrive space, and that I'll problably won't even play it.

    You can just back it up and save it on an external HDD. That's what I did with 90% of my Steam-games

    @ahaisthisourchance: Yeah, but I don't think that I would ever play it then.  
     
    Dawn of War II is tempting, but I think that I'm going to buy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. instead, since that's a pretty good deal too.
