Shack PSA: Steam Halloween sale launches
Prepare to scream, gentle reader. No, that's not an army of draculas you hear on the horizon, it's the deafening roar of people of people excited about Steam's Halloween sale launching today. While this isn't the biggest or bestest sale Steam has ever held, it's certainly solid and includes some top games going cheap.

Any opinions on Alice?

I was super into it for a few levels and it plays great with a controller, but it just started to drag out. Never finished it.

I'd agree with this completely. The levels just went on and on forever.

Played it on Xbox... I thought it had a great atmosphere/look and some good player mechanics. Although it was quite linear. You can see this huge open city, but there are cars/debris everywhere preventing you from going to anything that isn't exactly where the game makes you. Also, the "combat" was meh at best.
I didn't finish it because of being SO linear and the repetitive combat. So maybe it opened up more and i missed out... but it didn't seem like it was going to. -
I got the PC port on Steam right when it came out and it was a clusterfuck. It wouldn't even start without playing with the config files and the 360 controller didn't work right either. None of the keymaps matched what was set in the game and you couldn't even move. Worse game I've ever bought on Steam. I never even got to get beyond the first spot you spawn in on the first level.

Fallout 3 on the PC is extremely tempting.

If you haven't played either, New Vegas is the much better game IMO. Especially if you were a fan of the older games, NV isn't just a big re-tread of the FO1-2 themes like 3 is. Obsidian's writing for story and characters is far superior, one thing they always do right.
Having come out later, it also has other combat tweaks that I think generally improve the game too, like bringing back the Damage Threshold system and Perks being more balanced/worthwhile.

Can I buy these through the MS app store? I really don't want to have to use third part software for my online purchases. LOL

Tempting...but the Black Friday and Christmas sales will be much better. Most of the games in there have been cheaper before :(
