Can't get me Steam, I already spent all my money on Kickstarters and Power Ranger toys!


...I really just typed that.

I have skyrim for 360 and I love it, but someday when I have a better computer, I plan to buy it again for PC and play with mods. Skyrim is one of those games like final fantasy tactics where you go back to it over and over for the next decade. Buying it twice is perfectly reasonable.

Exactly what I did. I've played quite a bit of Skyrim for the PS3, but with my new computer I re-bought the full edition because I know it'll be better with mouse/keyboard control and full mod support.

Walking dead for 6€. If you haven't bought it yet: BUY IT.

GOTY 2012.

I did. Cost me USD$6. Only took me an hour to download as well, which surprised me.

Just Cause 2 - Holy balls its cheap.

You won't regret that. I got Just Cause 2 a couple of years ago for my PS3. Paid $18 for it. Best $18 I ever spent.

Good pick H.M.B.C:! Walking Dead is an amazing games series. The finale is...wow. I can't recall a game that has been so touching before. I played it with my fiancee and both of us cried at the end

If you have never played Just Cause 2, you can correct your life's shortcomings for only $3.

Tomb raider at 75%. Awwww yeahhhh

Just snagged tomb raider, FTL, and the Walking Dead game. Hope I don't regret the last two, even if they were like 10 bucks total.

Only ones left now are Farcry 3, and actually now that I think of its Spec Ops the line. I've heard several boards I lurk around praise that game, and I trust them for the most part.

As much as I want Tom Raider and Farcry 3 I am holding out for now as I'm hoping to get them as part of a new GFX Card offer

8 Games plus a £250 GFX Card for £250 is nothing to sniff at. Though it does require waiting for the 31st of this month as thats my next paycheck XD

So far I have bought:

Hotline Miami
Tropico 1,2,3,4 and various DLCs (even though I have already owned most of them already)
Cities XL
Expeditions:Conquistador
T-72 tank commander (it was 30 pence...)

And the sale is only 2 days old....

If you are having difficulty paying I have had no problems at all with the Steam android app but Steam itself can be quite flakey.

FTL is a really good game but it has quite limited replayability, but then it is under £2 so its impossible not to recommend.

Yeah FTL is really fun, It just gets repetitive quick if you dont manage to unlock the other ships.

I can't recommend Far Cry 3, only get Blood Dragon if it's discounted.

I quite liked Farcry 3 to be honest, its certainly worth getting if its under a tenner.

Not the deepest game play in the world (and its one of those games that I can't be bothered finishing due to the tediousness of the final fight) but its quite fun to pootle round the islands sniping stereotypical baddies.

I'm eyeing up Mars: War Logs right now. Anyone played it? The reviews are saying its not masterpiece, but if you're into sci fi and that kind of RPG then its worth a look.

Considering it I may just buy it anyway. It looks damn interesting to me.

Well, good news everyone!

I completed Oblivion/Shivering Isles after 5 years yesterday.
And I just finished X-Com tonight (minus the slingshot missions, because apparently I need a new game for them?????)

So I can now happily play Skyrim and Tomb Raider without feeling massively guilty.

Despite, you know, still having 2 New Vegas dlcs to do... And another (literally) 100 games.

Did you get Sins?

No, is it cheaper than it was last night? Also gotta wait until payday near the end of the sale(maybe)

It doesn't matter.
GET SINS!

I picked up Sins, AWESOME GAME

Damn it, I was very curious the moment I saw the trailer...only 9,99... Damn it steam! ><

Picked up Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion at the request of Purplefood (more like every five minutes he'd ask if I'd bought it yet). And I grabbed Chivalry: Medieval Warfare due to the rest of the OTL team picking it up. Sins is a damn sight more confusing than I originally thought, but man is it a big, detailed game.

Daily deals changing in a hour. Drumrollll!

Btw, I bought Garry's Mod when it was 75% off. Great sandbox to play around in.

I'm almost afraid of the next wave. Manage to hold myself and only (finally) buy System Shock 2. I hope I'm able to play this game, I'm really curious to play this game so many people praise and say it has en even better atmosphere than the first Bioshock.

Endless Space and Stardrive so far...not bad at all.

It really, really had. And I mean "had" because it's old graphics may interfere with overall atmosphere. If you can see past it (some mods may help with that) it definitely earned it's fame. Just make the effort of finding and listening to audio logs / reading informations. Because the quotes from the game are superb.
Buying the game also has the benefit of removing your name from my "gamers to kill" list who are not worthy to live because they did not experience this awesome game.

Man The Walking Dead is amazing. I'm part-way into episode 3 and it's just so harrowing.

Bought FTL and Surgeon Simulator today. £4 for both.

Went abit cross-eyed I was playing surgeon simulator so long. Pretty addictive throwing intestines and whatnot around.

Just found age of wonders. And a ton of other games.... MUST GET ALL OF THEM

I got McPixel....

It's... different.

You don't already?

I notice that Inestation:Survior Stories is in the running for the community choice game. Remember kids it used to be called WarZ and its terrible. It is a blatant (and inferior) copy of DayZ which has already had a lot of controversy over some shady practices by its developer.

Dishonored for 10,19€! If you don't have this game, buy, BUY IT NOW! (If you like a decent 1st person stealth game that is. Scratch that, if you want a FANTASTIC stealth game, that is)

As for me, Dust: An Elysian Tale. The game looks far too good.

P.S: Because I'm an ex-achievement wh***, sometimes I have some lapses. The Badges for the Summer and Holiday sales badges are some I really like collecting. If anyone is willing to trade one of the following cards, I would be very grateful.
- Bioshock: Infinite
- Prison Architect

I have the following to trade:
- Kerbal x1
- Riptide x1

Steam name: draconiclord. Alias: Vash the Stampede

I'm "Compel" on Steam, I've just tried adding you as a friend but it crashed.

I've got a spare torchlight 2 card.

TWD really suffers from a slow-starting episode 1 that feels like it has to make a tour-de-tv-show-characters, leading you to believe its just going to be "okay"

by the end it is one of the best games evar!

I think I'll pick up the sims 3.

You can trade cards? I only see the sell options. I think there also must be a delay with their servers right now. I bought Reus just there, but one hasn't shown up.

Dammit, only after Civilisation V goes off of sale do I want it. However its latest expansion isn't ( paying £20 for a DLC), so I'll probably just wait till that's on sale later.

I bought Torchlight 2 a few minutes before the sale ended. So I'm up to $11 spend on this sale so far and I have two games from it.

I'm now into the fourth episode. When you're filling in the grave at the back of that house and then there's that guy just there it really made me jump. Most effective scare in the game so far, even though I knew something was going to happen.
