I'm surprised by the lack of Call of Duty packs in everyone's list. You must have bought them in a previous sale.

I already own CoD4 and W@W but since the War Chest isn't discounted I'm not buying 1 & 2 :lol

It was an easy choice for me - I bought COD WAW for the PS3 for $19 a couple of days before the Steam sale. Since I prefer playing on the PC, I sold the unopened PS3 version for $30 and bought the COD collection instead :)

We talked about it a couple of pages back, kind of awesome.

Mix between Homeworld and Dawn of War(3D space rts with a small squad that has diablo like skilltree, lots of loot and such). No base building and which missions you take decide which faction you support(replayablility).

Nothing like smashing into the enemy armada with your mothership nuking the shit out of them(i.e. suicide) and just when they have your big ship pinned your stealthed fighters out on the flanks rain missiles down on them. :D

Oops, I was talking about Star Wolves... were you?

Hm, I just realized I have an extra copy of Bioshock in my gifts area whatever.. Kinda ridiculous it's still $15. If someone wants it, gift me Killing Floor and it's all yours :p

I'm thinking of getting The Void at $10 (@#$% missed the $5...new to steam, can i use fan mods/patches? i hear this game goes a lot better if you do), debating Aquaria at $10, mebbe Audiosurf for $5, and...is Machinarium good/worth ten?

throwing around Tales of Monkey Island complete, just gotta see how much it costs on wiiware first.

Yeah . . . it is good, but it is such a blatant Burnout Revenge rip-off. Even the UI and color scheme are similar.

But I gotta say, it was a great buy at $2.

looks more like a mix between the sega arcade racers and burnout... but yea i see your point

Help, could someone post their favorite adventure games out of the sale list for me? I'm always thinking that some of these are really great and have flown under my radar. But not Ben There Dan That....I gave it a try and didn't really like it. (I'm much more into Lucasarts/Legend games than Mystlikes, if that helps)

I've only spent four bucks on Trine.

I'm willing to spend, at most, another $20. Are there any other MUST HAVE title(s) which I can purchase for under $20?

Alright, since they're not going on a daily sale, I need to make up my mind about Beyond Good & Evil and the Earthworm Jim pack. Are these good ports or should I just get the PS2/Gamecube version (or Live Arcade/VC in the case of Earthworm Jim)? Also, how's Dark Void Zero? I thought that was optimized for the DS. Is there any chance of Star Wars: KOTOR being less than $10 in a future sale (I'm sure it's worth $10 anyway)?

Is all of borderlands DLC worth it or just General Knoxx? Will I have trouble getting to the new level cap without the first 2 DLCs? Are those 2 even fun?

Will order M&B Warband first thing tomorrow morning after one more browse of the sub 10 or 15 offerings----not expecting anything to jump out at me really.

So in the end....that would have this sale knocking me for about....$33 this time around for a fair bit of DLC and 2 actual games. :lol

Star Wolves: Is the third game all that matters or is there a case to be made for the first? I've heard the 2nd is pretty messed up...

Unable to decide between Machinarium and Bioshock 2 (was considering Just Cause 2, but I don't have the first and I'm sure I could hold out until it's on sale next).

Loved the original Bioshock, and haven't played 2 at all yet. Machinarium's demo is just so..charming, though. I love the atmosphere and art style.

Came out of this sale with:
World of Goo
Freedom Pack
Borderlands + The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
Beat Hazard
Star Wars: Empire at War Gold
FlatOut Ultimate Carnage
Flotilla
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition (played IV to death..but it sounds like I didn't get the whole experience without Beyond the Sword, so I'm excited to go back to it)
Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete
Trine

Winterbottom
Shatter

Just picked up:
Square Enix pack
THQ Pack
GTA San Andreas
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Already installed Operation Flashpoint, now letting Just Cause 1 & 2, and Metro 2033 download.

Debating on GTA 4, but I already have that on 360. Any improvements on the PC version?

In case anyone cares, I just verified that King's Bounty - The Legend does indeed include 36 music files in plain .ogg format in the data\music directory. I should probably not listen to the soundtrack much more if I'm going to be hearing the same 36 songs for 60 hours straight, though. :lol

Man, why am i so tempted by GTA4? I really didn't like it when i played it on PS3 and i can't see why that would change on the PC.

Just did a total of the things in my basket (not bought) and it comes to £100.22. Damn SE pack.

Got L4D2 for 10 bucks. Gonna need some folks to play Versus with.

Also picked up the telltale pack although I think they're stuff is pretty overrated. It's just too good of a deal to pass up.

I've warmed up to x-com too. Glad I gave that game a fair chance.
