I've picked up Deus Ex:HR for 7.50 - I have it for XBox, but I'm phasing out my console (which is why I'm also waiting for Dead Island to be a dirt cheap).
Also, they have the Paradox bundle (basically all Paradox games available on Steam - EU3 series, CK2, Magicka, Mount and Blade, Warlock, etc.) 82% off, for 50 bucks total.

I picked up the new Deus Ex cheap the other day. Got the original and the crap sequel with it. Might play the original before I try Human Revolution.
DX2 wasn't that bad
One of the things that made me chuckle was that one of the video screens in DX:HR shows a baseball game between Detroit (where the story starts) and Montreal (where the devs are from). Guess someone wasn't happy about the Expos moving to Washington.
I picked up Deus EX:HR, the Missing Link DLC, Legends of Grimrock and Terraria. Just under $20.
Dropped $21 on the Civ 5 DLCs that add Polynesia, Denmark, Korea, and a few new wonders, as well as Saints Row: The Third. I've been getting my money's worth out of Civ 5 so I'm feeling good about the DLC and I've been waiting for a massive price drop (75% :cool:) for SR3 for maximum wacky drunken fun at 1 AM on a Saturday night.
Then I dumped $25 into my empty Steam wallet and deleted my credit card info. Valve won't make me spend $100 on games I'll never play this time. :mad: :P

Meh, it's 50% off for only $2.50 which is good enough for me. I want to be MIGHTY DENMARK right now. :seefor:
Rumor is there's a deal for Saint's Row 3 + all DLC for $15 later in the sale, but I figured I'll never in my life play SR3 enough to play all its DLC, so I'll save myself $2.50 there.
Can't be bothered: it's NCAA 2013 time.

I've only played Saint's Row 3 for about an hour but holy shit is it amazing. I think I spent most of that time messing about in the character editor though.

Yes, I created a gold-painted fat Fabio look-alike who talks in zombie gibberish. Yes, I said he talks like a zombie, in that whenever he speaks in the cutscenes he makes these gutterable grunts and moans while the (correct) subtitles roll at the bottom of the screen. Like this: http://youtu.be/LSrb1twJTg8?t=6m25s
Thank you Steam for helping my Saint's Row 3 dream come to. :cry:
Bejweled 3 was on flash sale this morning. I picked it up as coffee break game. Started it - and when I took a break Steam said I had spent 4 hours on that game. :o :blush:
Space Marine, Alan Wake, From Dust, and a Payday: Heist 4-pack for me and my friends :Embarrass:
its like 29 euros for the whole lot though.
Space Marine's multi can be a hot mess. HOST MIGRATION. HOST MIGRATION. Some of the players need to get laid. WH40K ISN'T REAL.
When it is on, it is great. Especially when you can copy what the guy killing you had and smash his face in with a giant mallet. LOL, they get maaaaaaaaaaaad.
They have Crusader Kings for sale, but I won't buy a Paradox game from Steam. Auto-patching would really fuck with the half assed way they patch games.

Payday: Heist is pretty fun with friends. I wouldn't bother if you didn't have 3 others to play with.
So far: Terraria, DX:HR+Missing Link DLC, Grimrock, Max Payne 1&2 (nostalgia alert), Alan Wake, Binding of Issac, Saints Row 3 for about $45.

Did anyone play the new COlonization? I'm tempted to get it as I love the original. The screenshots make me a bit leery though.
Oh, and there's the Batman bundle (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Imposters) for 22.49. Too bad I'm not much of a Batman fan.

Arkham City is the one game I wanted going into this thing, but I think I have bought enough other crap that I am going to hold off.
I highly recommend Arkham Asylum to anyone who hasn't played it.
It would be a mistake not to get City, has a lot of replay value besides looking great.

I bought Arkham Asylum and then City. Great, great games. I hadn't played a brawler since I was a teenager. Simple to control, very satisfying, good variations in game play. Best parts are where you hunt the armed thugs. Watching them go from arrogant to terrified. I'd play the first one first and avoid skipping it.

Quote from: Zanza on July 15, 2012, 03:02:14 AM

It depends. If you really liked Civ 4 and thought it was the pinnacle of the series, you may not like Civ 5 very much.
Personally, I could never go back to Civ 4. The hex system and combat are so superior to Civ 4's that if they go back to the Stack of Doom-based combat in Civ 6 I will likely never buy it. The culture/social policy track is a little more restricting than in Civ 4, but I rarely ever play for culture victories anyway. Plus I like being able to buy tiles with money. The AI has been massively improved since the game's release too, though I'm not sure how much of this is due to G&K and how much is due to patching.
If you're still really not sure, I'd say hold off until G&K goes on sale too. It adds religion and espionage to the game which really gives the game a lot more flavor.

I acquired it when it was out, and I quite liked it for a while. Did the quite nice mage guild questline, completed it, got named master mage, and then proceeded to move around in an unchanged world doing errands and shit.
People play it for immersion, but I think it lacks it.
Buy Deus Ex instead, Berk.
I was waiting until near the end of the sale to buy The Walking Dead--they had it for 25% off.
Today only, they have it for 40% off. Patience pays!
I got an achievement called "Ow My Balls!" for doing my first nutshot and testicle assault.

If you liked any of the ES games, you'll like this one. It pretty much has all the strengths of the other games, and few (if any) of the weaknesses.
As Tamas notes, you won't always be a great world-changer, but you can be if you want to be. I find it more fun to just be a bit player on the fringes of big events.

and has
Crysis 2 but shows no time left on sale and 0% discount.
Ok, that'll be Dungeon Siege III then, which I bought in a previous Steam sale.

Didn't it get pretty decent reviews?
My list'o'loot so far:

- Bejeweled 3
- Terraria
- Civ IV complete (so I don't have to use my disks anymor - yes, I'm THAT lazy)
- Dead Island
- Binding of Isaac
- Batman collection (too cheap to pass up on, though I didn't install that Imposters crap)
- Company of Heroes pack
- Theater of War complete
- Frozen Synapse (anyone want my second license?)
- Orcs Must Die
- Cities XL (yeah, it's supposed to be crap, but how many city builders are there atm? Not gonna wait for new SimCity)

I actually bought something! I got the Total War pack, as I've never played any of the games. Also, I've been in the mood for a game that at least touches on the Revolutionary War era.

Haven't played it yet. Decided to play through the first one first. You know, despite the crap graphics, awful voice acting and dodgy initial control setup, the game is still fun. Problem is, I really don't like the "Good" guys. They seem to be a mix of the Tea Party and the occupy movement. I liked the UN guys better. There was a DLC for Human Revolution. Maybe that fills it out a little more.

That's because I never exited the game. I've had it open ever since I started it up for the first time.
