I've always been interested in Fallout 3 or NV, and have researched them in prior Steam sales but never bit. For someone who has never played any Fallout games, what are people's recommendations on which to buy?
original fo3 left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm a bit reluctant to jump on NV. Is it worth playing if I hated the original FO3 vanilla?

Just FYI: If there's a game you're waiting for to go "on sale" that hasn't popped up yet, CHECK THE TITLE ANYWAY.
For example, I saw that Star Ruler was on the list of games to be in the sale, but it hasn't been listed yet. I checked the other day, and it was listed at 75% off despite not having been on any of the daily sales to date.
Moral of the story: Check your wanted title list. Doesn't mean they won't go cheaper on a daily sale, but it means you'll have the comfort of knowing you'll have till the 23rd to buy it.

what are the flash deals right now? im at work i cant see them
i never played fallout 1 or 2... i did play fallout 3 and i loved it. I liked the hybrid style of FPS/RPG style, and i liked the story (i didnt do A LOT of the side quest, even though i did some)
i never jumped into NV, but people say its good.
did you play skyrim? it plays pretty much the same in gameplay, but with firing weapons and in a post-apocaliptic future setting
Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV are easily in my top 10 favorite games of all time.
I wasn't doing any gaming when the first two Fallout games were released and haven't really bothered to give them a solid attempt. My opinion isn't influenced by the earlier games, for what that's worth.
You could really just flip a coin to pick one to start with. Both are buggy Bethesda open world games. NV has a little more UI polish but plays exactly the same as 3. The stories are independant from one another.
NV starts off a little quicker than 3, so maybe that is the one to try first. 3 literally takes 45 minutes just to get going outside of the Vault.

Prince of Persia for $2.49 is a great deal if you're into that sort of thing.
Agreed. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is still one of my favorite games of all-time. Good mix of puzzles, action, story....and a hot princess.
Sands of Time looks to be a game from 2003, while Prince of Persia 2008 is also available for the same price but gets so-so reviews. Do you recommend the older game over the newer one?

Was just going to ask the same question. From what I've read, the art on the 2008 game is amazing, but the game itself is easy, short, and repetitive. Sands of Time is universally loved on all fronts, although it's supposed to be fairly difficult (which most view as a good thing). At $2.50 each, I might grab the whole pack for a rainy day.
For $12 you can't really go wrong with the entire pack though.
Banking on this...[EDIT] Or I was, until the flash sale ended while I was debating, and now they're all back to $6.69. Oh well, have too many unplayed games in my list as it is

Quick! The complete pack is still $12!
