    So far I got... the Back to the Future Pack and Dark Messiah of Might & Magic with lots of minor stuff piled up to get last day if they aren't further discounted.

    Either I already got all the stuff I wanted or if I'm interested it ain't cheap enough to impulse buy it xD
    Also it was probably a mistake to not have those Achievements and Game Rewards etc., lots of "meh... might be interesting" games people are gonna skip because of that.

    I recommend Tribes: Ascend for people sick of console shooters btw., been playing that a lot lately :P

    Anno 2070 for me. Not as cheap as I really wanted, but it's a damn sight cheaper than it was during that Ubisoft sale a few weeks ago including DLC. $25's cheap enough. Not sure if I wanna get Street Fighter or not. Thinking about it since I haven't played any of the new Street Fighter games, and haven't had a fighting game for my PC since probably One Must Fall. Haven't got an arcade stick though.

    GOOD NEWS! Gaben has heard your prayers!

    Get Space Marine if you guys haven't already. Great story, great ending, fun combat, only £4.99.

    If you haven't got an arcade stick, I don't think street fighter's for you. Doing special moves on a keyboard is a one-way ticket to carpal tunnel.

    Anyway, SPESS MEHREEN is clocking in at ~6hrs to download atm. Will be up for multiplayer later if steamBROs want to be/kill the EMPRAHs finest.

    I still haven't played the fancy new horde mode in Space Marine. It is meant to be really good. I'm definitely up for some Codex play. My Steam name is matt7895.

    Max Payne 3 is 50% off. Anybody who doesn't get it at this point is not a gamer.

    Dreadnought Pack is meant to be good. No idea about the map pack. As for the rest, they are fun if you want to play dress-up in the 40k universe. I've always liked the army painter feature of Relic's games, more variety is good IMO, although it would have been better if they were free.

    I'm still waiting for a good DoW pack sale myself. Those damn things have been stubbornly staying at stupid prices for a long while, like dark crusade's normal price is twenty bucks. Needs a 85%+ discount sale to get into the magical just fucking buy it range. Then install DoWPro and oh my god all the unitss ohh yeahhh feels like expensive shampoo on a lady

    Bought EYE, Audiosurf, Binding of Isaac, and Trials 2. I regret not picking up Back to the Future when it was cheap last night. Hopefully it will go on sale again.

    BtTF was ok but it was a waste of the license in my opinion. The Walking Dead is the best game Telltale have made so far, with Tales of Monkey Island being second on the list.

    Waiting to see if GoT drops further; will be picking it up by the end of the sale, at the least. Probably the same for Drakensang though I kind of doubt it has the popularity to make one of the bigger deals.



    Agree about the sales being kind of hectic, but I guess that's what they're aiming for. I've picked up what I've wanted so far (CKII: Sword of Islam/New Vegas Ultimate), but those flash deals are pretty lame, especially if you have the graveyard shift or just... you know, work during the day.

    I'm hoping Spec Ops gets a sale. As that sound actually quite interesting from reading the thread here about it.

    I picked up Eschalon Book II and Divine Divinity. Seriously 3$ each. SOLD!

    Where were you a couple weeks ago when each DOW2 game was going for 2.50 euro(retribution was 5) and DOW Platinum was 2.50(included Dow plus expansion and Dark Crusade), Could get Soulstorm for 1.75 euro as well...


    Ahh right it was one of those miraculous sales that actually was far cheaper in Eurofagistan rather than the KWA.:smug: Though even in the US it was pretty cheap.

    Seriously doubt it will be cheaper than that on Steam, given the game's a week, maybe two weeks old. What Amazon's selling is a Steam key, too.

    Space Marine = Another crap over the shoulder console shooter. Walking Derp = barely an adventure game, just an interactive comic chained together with QTE. So far I've only bought Portal 2.

    Yes if you like blobbers/Eye of the Beholder series type of games. My hunch tells me it will be in a future Humble Bundle, though, so take that for what you will.

    Metro and Morgoth, trying to usurp skyway with their terrible judgement when it comes to games.

    Space Marine is one of the most fun shooters that's come out in the past few years. It's very satisfying and worth the money. The one thing I've heard about the multiplayer is that the community is very fractured due to all the different DLC combinations. I haven't really bothered playing multiplayer.

    Actually Morgoth tends to praise some shitty console games, too. The reality is Space Marine is a flat out console designed shooter. If you like it, fine, just don't pretend it isn't.

    Are you saying it doesn't run well or control well on PC?
