Prey $5.00 this weekend on steam
http://www.steampowered.com/v/index....pId=3970&cc=CA

If you don't already own this game you literally have no excuse. It's not the second coming, but it's a fun shooter that tries some different things with the gravity and portals.

Also the deathmatch is truly fun, if you can scrounge up players. (I really wish this game didn't fall of the MP radar so quickly)

Anyway you can do worse than this. For $5.00 you can barely even buy lunch. So try it out if you haven't.

Indeed Prey is quite a great game, I have never understood people who don't like it or thing of it as average or whatnot. But even if they are correct it is certainly easily worth the $5.00. I recommend anyone that hasn't gotten it already to get it

That's indeed a really low price, considering that they're asking four times as much for e.g. Doom 3 and RoE.

--EDIT---

I've tried searching as: prey

Try this link:
http://www.steampowered.com/v/index....ame&AppId=3970

The advert is on the right side of the steam home page.

Re: Prey $5.00 this weekend on steam
I bought my copy and completed it finally. Lets just say it's definitely worth the current price tag of 19.95$ Hell of a game. Well done human head studios! Love the lore and storyline greatly!

I assume of course everyone here owns this now? At $5.00 you'd have to be a real tight-ass to think it wasn't worth it.

There is no reason to not buy a game this good when it's only $5.00, so yes, of course I got it

It might, ISP pay for the data transferred, depending on their contracts. It is not like the ISP would own the cables from here, to your home, they are renting the right to use them. Usually by mutual agreements, but it just might be that they don't wan't to offer Prey for other reasons than download cost.

I'm in Brazil and I can't buy the game either. In fact, I can't buy any of 2K Games' titles, or Rockstar's, for that matter, because neither of them make their catalogs avaliable on Steam outside North America and Europe (AFAIK).
