Star Wars Empire at War on Steam, LucasArts Adventure Pack 50% off

Soon you will know the true meaning of power -- that is, should you decide to download Star Wars Empire at War, the latest RTS available on Steam. Developed by Petroglyph Games way back in 2006, it takes place during the events leading up to Episode IV. The Gold Pack edition on Steam even includes the Forces of Corruption expansion, which adds a host of new units, heroes and planets, as well as an expanded multiplayer suite. Sorry, Mac owners -- this one's Windows only.

Not a big Star Wars fan? No worries, because Steam is also slashing 50% off the Lucasarts Adventure Pack, a collection of four classic adventure titles: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, LOOM and The Dig. All four of these titles are Steam Play compatible and will run on your Mac. You can get 'em for $5, only a little more than a buck a game. That's a pretty damn good deal, if you ask us.

[Thanks, CCC]

Get this on mac asap plz!!!

Working on it.

It's not on Steam, but there is a Mac port made by Aspyr that you can buy. However, a Mac port for the expansion pack hasn't been made yet.

Great game made by ex-Westwood devs.

A severely underrated RTS. I loved the hell out of Empire at War!

You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm's Brian Moriarty? Why, it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic...stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes...sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom today!

But wait, there's more!
Loom has no burdensome typing, mapping, or inventory management.And unlike
many adventure games today, it's easy for beginners to enjoy. A leading game magazine says it's, 'Enchanting...complex...captivating.'

It's only $20, I've been debating buying it since I heard it was on Steam. Does it support widescreen? Ugh, I'm so indecisive, convince me!

OK guys, you've convinced me.

glad to have helped.

I've been debating buying it since it was announced.

A great RTS game that many people haven't played. Well worth the $20.
Sure the ground battles aren't all that great, but you'll love the hell out of a good space battle.

Bought the pack for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis alone. God knows that game is still worth a lot more than that. Probably my favorite point-and-click adventure, right there with Monkey Island.

Also, I played the demo from The Dig a bunch of times as a kid. It's great to give the full game a try after so long.

50% off...that makes me feel like I have...UNLIMITED POWERRRRR!!!

I'm sorry, I had to, I just had to.

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that LucasArts pack is a really good deal. I still have those games in the original boxes...might be worth buying so that I have less trouble running them on more current OSes.

That's funny, none of those four games are Grim Fandango, must be an error.

The lack of a Grim Fandango download anywhere leads me to believe (hope) that they are working on a special edition/port for Xbox Live Arcade/PSN.

Oh, that'd be really cool.

Actually, I remember playing Empire at War and enjoying it for the most part. I also recall having a crappy PC at the time, so it ran slowly and I didn't really invest in upgrading it much. (save for my first entrance into WoW)

Very tempting.

I'd recommend Majesty 2 which is also on sale ($7.50), it's an interesting take on an RTS. Instead of being the hero that goes off and slays the dragon you play the king who pays heroes to go kill it for you so you are essentially the back end of a normal RTS. You do things like build guilds to make heroes or a store and stock it with better weapons and health potions. If it sounds even remotely interesting check out Giant Bombs quick look, that's what sold me on the game.

Case of insomnia so figure I might as well check it out. I actually purchased it immediately after the video. Thanks for pointing it out

The developers, Petroglyph, and a fan site "Petrolution", have a contest going for winning a key to the game:
