Just thought itd be nice to find what we all bought on the steam sale, (or not) and if your ever likely to play it

Ended up giving in and picked up DoW2 retribution and the tau pack. Still no sign of even installing it

Ugh...too much.

Space Marine DLC
Two Worlds II
Mirror's Edge
Max Payne 1 and 2
Arma 2: Combined Operations
The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition
Legend of Grimrock
Defy Gravity
Dead Island: Ryder White
The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb

As much as that is, it feels pretty good knowing that I probably only dropped about $70 for all of it.

Oddly I managed to avoid most of the steam sales, though some game I would like to get.

All I ended up buying was the original Deus Ex for like £1.50. I had hoped to grab DOW: Dark Crusade but its only £10 so it's not that big of a deal.

If going by recommendations via TB and friends then most of they games I want are worth the full price regardless.

Psychonaughts
Magika
Killing Floor
The Last Standalone
Dungeon Defenders
Frozen Synapse
Two Worlds II
A handful of DotA 2 items (They were on sale, and the game is run by Valve >.> )

Dead Space, Saints Row 3 and DLCs and Trine 2, all at 75% off.

Of these, I have to say Dead Space is the winner. Volition Studios should frankly be ashamed of creating Saints Row 3 after how good Saints Row 2 was - it should have been Saints Row 2+, but instead it was Bizarro-universe Saints Row 1.5 with better graphics. Trine 2 is fine for what it is (a pretty, $4 platformer), but they didn't make full use of their potential.

Dead Space is a game about dismembering space zombies with power tools. The scariness doesn't keep very well*, but it's still a fun game, especially for $4.

* First attempt: "Oh gak! Run! Shoot! Oh gak!"
Second attempt: "Freeze it, double kneecap with 3-4 shots, stomp on its face until it dies."

Red Orchestra 2
PAYDAY: The Heist
Fable III
Two Worlds II
Terraria
Alice: Madness Returns
Chaser
Left 4 Dead 2
The Ship
Legend of Grimrock
Dawn of War II
Red Faction: Guerilla
Necrovision
Cyrostatis
The Longest Journey
Half Life: Source
Death to Spies
Bloody Good Time

Of those I've either not played, or have played them and thought they were a bit naff. ...The naff ones being namely Two Worlds II, Left 4 Dead 2, Red Orchestra 2 (just because of the terrible lag...on GOTY btw), Fable III because of a known install issue that they won't fix and The Ship, for being incredibly dated and requiring too much effort to play. =/

Okay quite change I bit the bullet and bought some stuff

Dawn of War Platinum - Contains Dark Crusade and Winter Assault. Dont care for winter assault so probly wont be downloaded. Could have just got Dark Crusade but the Gold and Plat were same price so got all 3 for £2.50.

Dawn of War 2 - Chaos Rising and Retribution. Really I only wanted the Last Standalone from Retribution but for £5 you can't really argue. Also CR because its Chaos lol.

Witcher 2
Shogun 2
Couple of DLCs

gak, I thought I dreamed buying the Witcher, drunk as I was.

Jane's strike fighters.
Medieval 2 total war
rome total war
Galactic cilivisations

jane's is just utter utter gack, not even as good as arma 2 in terms of a sim. Its arcade game compromise. Medieval and rome total war are awesome fun, but the fun comes from Galactic Civilisations total pack, I loved MOO so I love this game.

Saints Row 3 and all its DLC are currently available for less than $10.

This is not a good game. But at less than $10, it's adequate.

On the other hand, I'm a bit peeved that they had the same product at three different prices in one sale: -33%, -75% and -91%.

Sorry to drag up the thread but this seemed appropriate
