So this Sale I bought:
The Longest Journey
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER
Doom Pack 2012
Thief II
Magical Drop V
Qube
Dear Esther
Ghost Master
Hitman: Blood Money
Solar 2
Noitu Love 2 Devolution
Spent all of about £23. Not bad at all. Spent far far more on sales past, especially last year. Now I feel I have everything I want.

Did anyone here actually play Miasmata and can share some opinions?
It looks like something I'd actually want to play right now after the GB QL, but it also looks janky as fuck.

So I feel like my Steam library is already pretty stocked, and I don't really need more games. The only title I've really been waiting for a daily deal on is Kane and Lynch 2. It seems interesting enough that it'd be worth checking out at the right price. But that deal has never come.
Should I just give up on the appearance of such a deal?

Watch the GB quicklook. It turned me off to it.

Yeah I think I'm going to grab it but a lot of the reviews mention performance issues. Guess it's probably to be expected from a game that was developed engine up by two guys.

Bought the Tomb Raider Collection. Hells yes. Loved the original and thought Anniversary was a darn fine game, so I'm a fan of both the Core and Crystal games.
The only games I missed this sale were Dark Souls and Far Cry 3. But I can hold off until Summer Sales. From this sale other than the TR Collection I still have The Witcher and XCOM to keep me busy through Winter, not to mention Rising, GTA V, and Bioshock Infinite come Spring time.

I really like all the tomb raider games for different reasons. 1 because it was new and shiny, 2 for the swimming, 3 for the brutal difficulty and memorable parts like getting past crocs, 4 for the best giant tomb feeling, underworld the water, chonicles the outfits.
Anniversary is the proper answer but I really like underworld better these days, especially the first couple of levels.

If this happens I'll be making a give-away of it, it's criminal that not many have experienced and play this game!
The original runs fine but I remember it missing audio during the comic strips between missions last time I played it .

Silent Hill Homecoming please go down to about $10, you've been out for over 4 years now and you're still $40 so you need a discount period, Steam sale or not.
I got that game for free last year for completing the meta game achievements.
I actually traded it for Reccetear.

Got The Darkness II for 2.50 on Amazon, going to stream it here soon.
They do on mine (W7 x86), but I had to use a patch for the non-Steam versions. Haven't tried the Steam versions yet.
They hold up as if they were released yesterday, graphics aside (which still don't look bad at all).

I'd say go with Shogun 2, as it's the latest entry of the series.
Pick the setting that appeals to you more. Both great games.
Although Empire had some slow ass wait times between turns late game for me. Napoleon addressed that. And Shogun 2 definitely takes the cake when it comes multiplayer.

Konami and Capcom dont "get" Steam, Lost Planet 2 will have to remain in my wishlist for eons.

heard that. been waiting for a sale on it (missed the amazon one in December)
You'll need this to fix the audio bug:

They run super smooth on modern hardware, but there's no way to play them in widescreen so you'll have to go with windowed or black bars.

Yeah well, Konami and Capcom don't get a lot of things so I suppose that should be expected. But really, in no way in hell is Homecoming worth $40. I like the game, but it is indeed very mediocre in a number of ways.

Cant find BLUR on Steam anymore, did Activision pull it?
YianGaruga

Yep, it's gone together with a few 007 games. We still don't know why exactly.

Yep. It was pulled yesterday? It's now a rare game.
You can run it in widescreen.
Just have to force it.

Waaaaaaaaa how much was it going for during December?
...Speaking of Total War I only have Shogun 2 and FotS, which of the other TW games are worth getting but with their interface/UI not being very archiac or outdated?

I hope CS:GO wins out tonight. I've been having an itch to jump into CS again.

Cant find Wolfenstein either (the latest one)
Damn I wish I had gotten BLUR, it never went cheap enough though
I wonder why Activision is cleaning house on Steam. (Please dont release your own DD service)

I don't really know.
Wouldn't the image be stretched though?
Thought the same, it's probably the most polished, but obviously also 7 euros more expensive
Never really played much Multiplayer in Rome or Medieval so not sure if that's really a plus for me. Like though how Shogun 2 appears to be more focused on melee battles. I feel like taking care of all those guns is going to be a little too complex for me, lol

It was actually $4.99 two times before, which makes it even worse that I missed it. The game is really fun.

I'm bummed I missed out on James Bond: Blood Stone. It always looked fun...
There is a patch for that.
The image is stretched though, there's no way to adjust the FOV

don't remember...but it was stupid cheap. sub 5 i think and you could get the $5 rebate
As far as I can tell, no they are not. Looks like its rendering at the correct resolution to me.
The only thing that is stretched/upscaled are the UI assets, but that is something you learn to deal with playing older games.

Really? damn, should have gotten it.
I guess I should get Transformers @ 5 before it disappears too.
