If you like Master of Orion 2 type gameplay, GalCiv 2 (which is 75% off for the next couple hours) is pretty fun. EDIT: Hell, for $5 I'm considering buying it again to get the expansions which I never played before.

Is Jagged Alliance - Back in Action worth the 10 $?

nah imho, get JA2 with the 1.13 mod

Thanks, got it already. So its only Bastion today. I hope...

Buy ja:bia when it's down to 5 (and eventually lower). Certainly not worth 10. I thought this sale was pretty awful, the only game I was really looking forward to was arma2 and it was more expensive than the last amazon sale.

I bought some other random games too, but most of this crap has been on sale for the same price earlier this year (and a few things were actually cheaper).

My end of sale tally:

I got Binding of Isaac pack, trine1&2, arma2 + expansion for dayz, tribes ascend vip pack thingy, splice soundtrack edition and terraria


all pretty cheap

hadn't bought anything off steam in like 5 months before this, was a pretty good sale imo

Bought deus ex and galatic civ 2. My right arm is hurt so it's limiting my choices, bought deus ex anyway and having a blast with it.

So Deus Ex is a lefty game?

Not sure if it's a glitch or not but Saint's Row Franchise pack is only $9.71 in the aus store. Sucks for all the people that bought it at $25.

I just got SPAZ tonight. I had never heard of it, but the pictures were pretty. I am really REALLY enjoying it. If you are a fan of Star Control, this is an absolute must-buy.

Bought it but haven't played yet. Looking forward to it.

Just started in on Torchlight and it seems pretty good. Very meh on the story and borrows extremely heavily from everywhere else, but at least it tries to borrow the good stuff, so it'll probably be pretty decent.

Would love to see what the developer does when they try to innovate instead of just doing a mash up of what's worked elsewhere.

Also got Bioshock and Bioshock 2, neither of which I have any experience or knowledge of whatsoever, but is supposedly just amazing. We'll see.

ohhh...I LOVED Star Control.

So since a lot of ppl got ck2, time for 2+2 ck2 multiplayer?

ck2 doesn't seem like it would be as fun as say Eu3 playing multiplayer, since most of the time you're just managing your own kingdom. Maybe I'm not playing ck2 right though.

COME ON, GIVE IT UP TO ME

I just want to convert ck2 game to eu3

selling a copy of Skyrim (60usd) for a Dark Souls Pre-Order (40usd)

pm me

Nice sale, bought:

Crysis 2
Batman: Arkham City
Metro 2033
Allan Wake + Allan Wake's American Nightmare
Driver San Fransisco
Trine 2
Hitman: Blood Money
Counterstrike Source (€9.99 WHY U NO FLASHSALE?)
Half-Life
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Portal 2
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

Almost pulled trigger on Witcher 2 and Deus Ex: Human Evolution, but figured I had enough new stuff to get into already and they seemed rather complex.

Pretty awesome sale; I don't even game a whole lot these days (maybe a couple hours a week). But a bought a whole bunch of stuff, since basically everything I've been interested in over the last few years but never bothered to play was on special.

Mostly I'm pretty happy with my new collection - currently playing Deus EX: HR which I'm liking so far.

However - one annoying point - probably half of what I bough, was further discounted in the following days - by the end of the sale it was driving me completely bonkers. Some stuff I paid three times what it finally ended up going for!

Anyway - I probably have enough games to last me the next 10 years now.

Playing currently mostly Binding of Isaac and Bastion, at first I didn't like Bastion all that much due to fight mechanics but you get used to quickly and the storytelling is amazing. The game has been structured also very well. I love that I have bought so many new games which I would never heard of if it wasn't for the sale.

However, I didn't get hooked up on DayZ yet, hmm... Played about an hour so far and closed it.

Got Bastion as well, looking forward to it once I'm finished with Cave Story, Torchlight, and Dungeons of Dredmoor.

Opening Steam makes me sad now. During the summer sale I couldn't wait to see the updates, seriously can't recall being that excited about gaming in a long time. Now I've binged, and the sales are gone, and I just look at the featured stuff and think, "meh."

Edit: Not sure if I'll buy Torchlight 2. Torchlight seems like a great game, but there are a lot of things that are featured prominently (like pet management, summoning, and traps) which I understand are popular, but they aren't my cup of tea. It makes the game feel shallower to me than it probably actually is.

Christmas sale is less than 5 months away.

Got Torchlight, Bastion, Isaac, Meatboy, Limbo and Magicka

Torchlight doesn't start, it just flickers black and the cursor changes and the music plays. Might be related to the dual monitor setup but quick googling didn't bring up anything. Any way to force it to start in windowed mode?
