Haha, Civ III for 74p! Bought IV recently and am loving it so why not?
Because it's not nearly as good. You'll learn that soon.

Any less than $2 games worth picking up? I have a couple gift cards with only ~$2 left on them that are serving no other purpose.
Critter Crunch. Definitely Critter Crunch. And you can message Cromulent_Word after you buy it for an extra copy.
Also, Gunstar Heroes and English Country Tune.

Is BulletStorm less than $9.99 anywhere?

Well..
Rogue itself is a highly randomized RPG that takes place entirely in a dungeon. Death carries high penalties(usually permanent) and luck can make or break the average play-through.
Roguelikes take certain elements from the original game but offer their own differences. At its core Rogue is a pretty basic game, so typically roguelikes expand upon it.
To give an example
Diablo 1 would be considered a roguelike. It has random dungeons and loot but the player can always return to town to purchase stuff. Plus the game can be saved at any time to avoid permanent death.
Something like Dungeons of Dredmor is far closer to rogue. Despite all its bells and whistles it carries much of the same design-philosophy as rogue (punishing difficulty).

Definitely going to get Thomas Was Alone game looks great, think that'll probably be it for me this sale

I assumed MRORANGE looked like Tim Roth. My illusion has been shattered.
It's too bad Scribblenauts Unlimited isn't still on sale at Amazon for $7.50. Maybe it'll go on flash deal and get back down to $20.
If she likes puzzles, Toki Tori. Starts out easy. Eventually enemies are introduced but they're slow-moving. Later levels can get pretty tough, but if she's not into thinking that hard she'll still get plenty of mileage out of the early game for less than a dollar.
If she's an avid puzzler fan, SpaceChem. Thinking cap should be squarely attached from the beginning on this one. Get her to try the demo if you're unsure.
If she likes crosswords, sudoku, word search or other pen-and-paper puzzles, Puzzler World 2 is serviceable enough. The crosswords are squarely aimed at UKers though.
I imagine any of the visual novel or point-and-click adventure games would be fine, but I don't know anything about those.

I ended up buying the Broken Sword Trilogy and the Syberia Collection for a grand total of $5.73. Probably won't be able to get to them for months, but 5 games for the price of coffee and a bagel? Can't say no to that!

Ah well, worth a look at that price to decide for myself anyway.

Planning on playing Scribblenauts with her actually, got it on sale last week. I went ahead and got her Mutant Blob, Puzzle Quest (she used to watch me play), and Bejeweled Twist (it was on her wishlist). Thanks for the suggestions guys =)

Does anyone have impressions on Symphony? Very interested in it, but if its lackluster i won't pick it up
Re-posting here because the Steam thread is now just people talking about how much they spent:
I'm in the process of looking over some final potential purchases out of the non-daily stuff, and have a few questions:
A) If I was only going to buy/play one, which Dungeons game is better? The original or Dungeons: The Dark Lord? If Dungeons 2 is better, is it worth the extra $1.25 or are they pretty similar?
B) Are the Cossacks/American conquest titles any good? It looks like there are at least 3 titles in there plus a bunch of expansions for $5. Seems like a good deal if the games are worth playing.

Someone talk me into buying Hard Reset
Is like a Serious Sam but futuristic, cool graphics and some fun weapons. If you like that type os FPS is a good choice.
Hope you're prepared to hold until the summer sale.
Edit: Wait, forgot Steam does a spring sale. Maybe you'll get lucky then!
Deponia is a lot better than I thought it would be. The main character is just awful but it's a very enjoyable P&C adventure game. Much better than I expected because I hated Whispered World.

How what? I'm holding out for a miracle flash deal.

Magical Drop V - $4.99. There is a demo available, too.
Very fun battle puzzler. It's fast-paced, has online (1v1, 2v2, KotH 4P action), and is constantly supported by the devs. If you like Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack, you will definitely enjoy this.
Highly recommended.

You get TF2 Hats. That's why I bought it anyway.
The last day of the Steam sale is almost always point-and-click buying day for me, since they very rarely show up in the daily or flash sales.
Bought the fourth Blackwell game since the Blackwell series never showed up as a special and I finally got around to playing the first three after having had them since they were in that Indie Royale bundle ages ago.
I'm really enjoying the Blackwell series so far (you can get all four games for $9.99); they're like the perfect balance of point-and-click and common sense. This arguably makes the games way too easy, as there was all of one puzzle that had me totally stumped, but it's nice that the puzzles actually make sense and aren't so much click everything on everything else.
Also picked up the Daedelic bundle since word on the Deponia games is good and Edna and Harvey sounds really interesting. It's almost $30, which is a fortune Steam-sale-wise, but isn't bad per-game.
And finaly picked up Hamlet or the last game without MMORPG features, shaders, and product placement for $2.49 based solely on the name. Surely I won't regret this!

Both of these games are really fun with a group of friends. I'm talking 6-8 players. I have good memories of playing 'em with GAF.
Toki Tori and Audiosurf should be on every Steam list.
I loved Magical Drop III, but this scares me faaaaaar away from V.

People please pick up Cthulhu Saves the World. They truly did a great job making it a parody styled old school jrpg.
The game was not good on launch, but Golgotha has been very good about taking user feedback and fixing things up. I haven't played it myself, but according to the posts here, it's pretty competent now.

Loki
Just under $16 for the lot. Hopefully I don't regret everything.

I have this on the 360 but for that price, I'm really tempted to purchase it again. Great game. How long will this deal last btw?
Not long probably, last time it was about 24 hours and the keys ran out I think.
It's already been up at that price for a while already.

If you like puzzle games, it is the best.

Check out the demo - Hard Reset is a quite good old school shooter fun. And it looks quite good as a bonus!

Code itself is probably good for a while, how much of the game they have in stock is up in the air though. They ran out pretty quickly the last time it was up a few days ago

Thanks guys. Decided to get a copy. For $2, it's a must have if you enjoy this genre. Be prepared for some tough achievements, though lol.
