asscreed, call of juarez, far cry2 and vegas2 are all on sale this weekend. i havent played any of them and $12.99 seems a good price for all 4, however, whats the final word on the drm that infests (infested?) these older games? i know they relaxed their drm a little for some of their newer titles, but how about these 'classics'?

thanks, and oh! i guess i should ask-is $12.99 worth it for this package deal?

Wouldn't take them even if they were free until they get rid of that stupid drm they are using on the newer games.

Just to clarify a bit for others who might read the thread, Far Cry 2 used to have SecuROM DRM but it was patched out a while ago. The description on the store page has never been updated for some reason.

As for value, I think it’s a fantastic deal. I finally tried Assassin’s Creed and I love it! Far Cry 2 is an interesting failure but very enjoyable at times. Call of Juarez seems to be very well regarded, although it’s apparently short. R6: Vegas 2 has good reviews and looks competent enough. Overall, it’s hard to go wrong with four solid titles for such a low price.
