Anyone get anything good? I'm curious as it seems every year I end up missing out on something I've been waiting to buy on discount.

Also, Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition is $7.99 for the next 21 hours (starting 3 p.m. CST).

I got Orcs Must Die, Brink, and Fallout 3. Also picking up the full Company of Heroes set, because my disks are scratched up (I blame my cats and nephews... Steam is so wonderful to avoid things like this), but that 's not exactly a NEW game for me.

I got Dungeon Defenders yesterday.

Orcs must die, deadspace 2, borderlands, dead island, halflife 2 bundle, portal, portal 2, EYE: divine cybermancy, the witcher and bastion.

I've completed halflife 2, portal and portal 2 before but as I didn't own them for the pc I thought I'd give them a buy.

I had been been looking at E.Y.E. but ended up opting for Risen.

My list so far is:

Blood Bowl, Orcs Must Die, Company of Heroes (lost my copy of the original game), the Commandos Collection, DEFCON, Evil Genius, Fate of the World, From Dust, Frozen Synapse (this one is awesome), Magicka, Monday Night Combat, the Mount & Blade series, PAYDAY, the Stalker series, HAWX, Wing of Prey, Universe Sandbox, and, just because I've always wondered what these games entail, Train Simulator 2012 (hooray impulse purchases).

Magicka and Dungeons of Dredmor are two pretty cheap games that everyone should buy, I love both of them

all the total war games from rome up (already have shogun)

mass effect 2 (4.99 how the hell could i pass that up)

All dawn of war and expansions (can someone please tell me why sisters fight imperials in the soulstorm campaign)

Dawn of war 2 (sucks don't buy)

killing floor

How is Shogun?

I've been following the sales pretty closely, but I already have pretty much every game I want right now, really.

It's not bad I enjoyed it very much. But it just takes place in japan and theres barely any unit diversity, but it still is mega fun. But I personally liked Medieval and Empire a lot better. The AI is good but there are still some bugs with texturing. Like for instance I'm running two 570's with SLI, 16 gb ram, and a quad I7 3.44 processor and the graphic suck on high everything. It's very strange.

As far as battle gameplay it runs a lot smoother than Empire but the AI can still be stupid sometimes. It is a lot smarter than Empire though.

Oblivion GOTY......

And CoD WaW........plan on getting more with Xmas money...

Skyrim! so much hype and praise, $40 atm, cant decide to get or not xD

Very much worth it.

Dogma's logic is flawless as usual

Skyrim for $40 is a steal. Anyone who still doesn't have it should get it now unless they want to keep waiting for a price drop.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand this statement. Did you say Dawn of War 2 is completely awesome and in fact the best 40k game yet to be released?

I guess technically Final Liberation was Epic, so your point, while dodgy, stands.

More than I should have bought, I think...and still 6 days to go in the sales.

Bookworm Adventures (Deluxe and Volume 2), Bunch of Heroes, Chantelise, Fate of the World, From Dust, Hard Reset, Nuclear Dawn, Psychonauts, S.T.A.L.K.E.R (Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat, and Clear Sky), Singularity, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and Tropico 4.

I've been playing Tropico 4 the most of all of them. I think I've racked up 20 hours in about 3 days (starting whenever it went on sale).

Obviously, what else could it be?

Dawn of war 2????

That's a funny way of saying Dawn of war: Dark Crusade

Because, everyone was accused of heresy, no one was innocent.

saw this and had a poke about wile letting youtube run along in the background. Didn't see anything I liked... at all. And then youtube kicked on a painfully familiar tune. I remember failing at the game when I was pretty darn wee (couldnt understand what i was doing and I could only stumble through the first two missions). Syndicate. So now I'm doing some research to see what the heck happened to that

Research conducted. The FPS scares the living bajeezus out of me.

The games on sale change each day.

I know my roommate bought all the GTA games and Arkham Asylum for $29 USD...pretty good deal if you ask me.

Just bought the Sega pack, and C&C 3 and expansion again. Need to stay away....

I beg to differ

....greatly

"Dawn of skirmish is ok". Not the same as DW1 if you are looking into larger size battles.

6 more days before sale ends, wonder what else we'll get!

If it was the same as Dawn of War 1 but iwth better graphics, it would have sucked anyway. We played that to death with four games already.

I got Space MArine and LIMBO.

EYE looks like it is copying off of Warhammer 40,000 to some extent.

DoW 2 would have been better if it was more like Company of Heroes, CoH was a nice mix (gameplay wise) between DoW1 and 2

The only real problem I see is that the population cap is too low-- or more accurately, there isn't an option for a higher population cap in skirmish/multiplayer mode.

A double pop cap game mode would go a long way to making many people more satisfied with the game.

I've been thinking of grabbing Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity for the game + the currently released expansions; anyone played it before? Worth buying?

It's a decent enough space-based 4x game.
