    FTL, tomb raider w/ sp content this morning;

    Staring at Deadlight, Fallout 3 + Vegas ultimate editions and portal 1 + 2 for less than $20.

    Yes, I never touched the Fallout games and only briefly played portal 1 on 360.

    That's a definite Hell Yes on Deadlight. Great game.

    The Portal games are really, really good too. There's a reason they're very well regarded by just about everyone.

    For the record, I would also highly recommend Mark of the Ninja when it eventually shows up on sale as either a daily deal of a flash sale. One of the best stealth games I've ever played and a favorite.


    Not really phased by today's offerings so far, waiting for Reus to go 50% off (it will), keeping an eye out on Rogue Legacy to see if it drops any lower, holding out for Dishonored at $17.49 (Aus prices, could be different from US) and yeah.

    Apart from Fallout and Portal, are any of the other games must-haves? I've checked them all out, of course, but nothing really stands out.

    I would recommand The Swapper that's featured in the flash sale. 3 hrs and 40 mins to go.

    Already have Torchlight 2!

    The Swapper looks a little... meh to me. I've seen gameplay videos and apart from the gorgeous art I don't really see much in it, to be honest.

    Unless puzzle platformer is not your thing, The Swapper is definitely a must play game.

    I can't go for Swapper either. I'm just not feeling the vibe on that one.

    I already got Markof the Ninja for 3.75 a few weeks back (solid gameplay and style).

    Waiting for an all content package deal on max Payne 3, dishonored and Deus ex HR.

    Held off on Trine 2's flash sale - but I did get Mass Effect's bundle for $12. A shame EA doesn't have ME3 there...

    Son of a ... Dishonored, Max Payne 3, Castle Crashers all 66-75 % off.

    Mirrors edge for 6, KOTOR II for 3.40, bioshock infinite back to 30, Natural Selection 2 6.24.

    Next round could see Deus ex for $3!!! But I think I'm losing that round to metro last night or assassins creed 3.

    Edit: I think I'm at $135 before this day. It's what I get for purely gaming off iOS, handhelds and mmos the last 8 years.

    Heck yes, what an awesome day.

    I'm at ~$50 spent before today's purchases. Going to get Reus (wooooo!), Dishonored and Dust right off the bat, considering others too.

    Don't really want to get KOTOR, Bioshock at $40 is a bit pricey, and Max Payne... I don't know. Maybe.



    Terraria at that price is really good.

    It's been more than mine as well. Combination of free time, hitting my limit off "gaming" f2p systems and the steam sale just created a perfect storm.

    Bioshock Infinite is 30 unless you are counting DLC

    I don't see where KOTOR II uses the first game's save info, so no need to get both (I still have part one on Xbox).

    Max Payne 3s extra content seems mp focused and know I have mp 1 + 2 somewhere in my house so I can stick to the 9.99 base game.

    Edit: Dishonored's Knife of Dunwall seems the only worthy DLC (trials seems minor and void is mainly a collection of preorder stuff you can live without): sooooo, $13.58 for the game + Knife DLC

    Holy, The ENTIRE Deus Ex series and DLC is $6!

    Note: The Fall costs more than the entire series on PC.

    Picked up Dust as one of the games today, and MAN. Is it GOOD!!

    Heard it's made by one guy who did the coding, level design, art, etc... Wow. Just... Wow. He is a legend.

    I'm not even a PC gamer but bought Deus Ex and Alan Wake so far. These are great deals and can't pass them up. Any recommendations I don't know many of these games because I'm a nintendo gamer :)

    Mark of the Ninja from today's deals - probably best ninja game ever.

    Also, a lot of people like Orcs Must Die 2, but I can't recommend it as I'm not one of them.




    Edit: Oh, and Dust. How could I forget Dust? It's still available from yesterday, and it is fantastic, one of my new favorite games.

    I seem to be out of games I had to have (my wallet can get off life support now), so I've switched to a wish list and wait mode for the final day.

    Current sales of note are Season 1 of The walking Dead for $6.24 (note 400 days is still 4.99), Deus Ex is $3 for just HR), Arkham GOTY, Gta 4 etc. Lots of good stuff but things we've already seen.

    I can't speak for this game but Fallen enchantress seems to get Good buzz (66 % off)

    the next vote is Awesomenauts, Bastion or Strike Suit Zero.
