Steam weekend deal

you can pick up all Brother's In Arm's games for only 19.99 if your interested. 23CND for 3 games is a great deal for me.

Ooo Purchased

I'm looking at this myself. Are the BIA games any good?

They are ok but a bit too gamy for my liking. I have the first two and got the second one for only $3.98 at Zellers. All you have to do to beat the game is use flanking tactics and used timed shots for when the dumbass AI pops their head up from behind the wall. Basically it's just a shooting gallery game.

thats what makes it such a great deal, they aren't AAA title but for 19 for three makes it well worth it.

steam deals ftw.

GRID for $15 was almost as good as the orange box for $50.

Then you missed the weekend where Orange Box was only $10.

Already have them but Excellent games imo, one of my favorite WWII series.

For those who don't know BIA isn't a generic wwII fps shooter where you have waves after waves of respawning enemies waiting til you cross teh magical line til the next wave starts.

It's a squad based shooter, you have squads under your command and it focuses more on setting up your squads to supress an enemy and then for you or your other squad to flank, etc.

The main thing I love about the series though is the storyline. It follows a specific unit throughout each game in the series (Matt Baker in BIA 1, then Red in BIA 2, and then back to Baker in Hel's Highway).

The game has some great storytelling if you stick with it an dplay all the games. Especially Hell's Highway has one of the mot memorable and emotional cutscenes in a game imo.

They are working on anothoer BIA game that will be set during the Bulge in Bastogne, etc which will probably finih off the series/storyline.

You can't even go prone in BIA games. Or did they change that in the last one?

wow another great deal! I can't believe it, im buying so much on these deals!

I never really cared much for BIA series, but a friend suggested Hell's Highway, so I may need to pick this up for the price, still a bit sketchy of it, though.

Hell's highway was the only one i played, and when you relied on the squad tactics, it was quite fun. It got extremely annoying when you had to do the solo parts, and it became like anyother generic fps/3rd person shooter.

Initially I thought BIA HH was fantastic. Graphically excellent amd detailed (crisp) and the gameplay was fun with a well acted/written story. But things get repetitive fast and the game ruiner is the enemy A.I. Predictable to the point of silliness, the enemy will always look for cover and retreat rather than becoming offensive. The game gets too easy and I didn't feel compelled to finish it sadly
