Apparently the page won't show up for anyone in North America... strange.
Any US/Canada peeps can access the listing by substituting another country's code in the URL.
Edit: whether or not the prices in North America were actually reduced, is another question entirely...

hmmm.
Well, TBH, I don't know what they were before, but original Splinter Cell is "now" £4.99. HoMM5 is $6.99.
CSI:NY is £9.99.
Grey's Anatomy; Vin Diesel's Wheelman; Tom Clancy's HAWX; Tom Clancy's Endwar; Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and Prince of Persia are all £14.99
and finally, we have Heroes Over Europe for £19.99
O_o Still seems a tad overpriced to me....but Splinter Cell might be interesting for that price....as a Gog, anyway :P
FEAR is now on Steam and have 2 expansion pack too. They are only $9.99 it is not a deal but it is cheap. :)

That's a good price. I always wanted to try the original F.E.A.R. game...

You must purchase it then. It is a way better than the sequel.

That's £6.99 in real money! I was looking at that in a shop the other week. couldn't decide if I wanted to pay £20 for it though....

Dude a toasted cheese sandwich would be better than FEAR2.
...actually I could go for a toasted cheese sandwich about now.

So I've heard.
I'll buy it once I finish the stuff I need to do for today. I don't need any more temptations.

JEEEESUS CHRIST
I played like, half of the first game, got bored, played a lot of multiplayer, got bored, never tried the expansions. I wonder if the multiplayer community is still around, I know it's been fueled because the MP component is free.
Direct2Drive's Deal of the Week: Westward Value Pack (WW1, WW2, WW3: Gold Rush) 50% off ($7.50)
I dunno. I liked FEAR 2. Was a different focus, but fun. FEAR was about using bullet time to ambush people and the like. Extraction Point was about getting surrounded and killing everything.
FEAR 2 kind of focused on the EP style of gameplay :p
Anyone try the Steam FEAR yet? It work? I already own core and EP, but wouldn't mind Perseus Mandate (and a Steam install of the first two).

The Ubi page doesn't show up for me too.
I've now seen it through that link from domgrief and got surprised by how overpriced they still are... Only Splinter Cell has a good price.

That's an excellent price, IMO.
I thought it would be like $15 and only the base game, but now you get the base and 2 expansions.
I don't think those Ubisoft price cuts are actually price cuts. I'm sure several of those games listed have been at those prices for several months now.
As for FEAR, I'll wait for a $2 sale before buying. I still have perfectly good retail copies of all of those so I'm in no rush to get it on Steam.

How long in single player are the two expansion packs?
I have only the base game on disc, but the game was just average IMO. The shooting part was good, but the "scary" bits became more like * don't read further if you haven't played the game.
cutscenes in other games. They can't really hurt you or you them, so they just slow down the gameplay. Of course near the end it picks up, but by then the game is so easy, even without the use of slow motion.
