    Joltrabbit: Is the Deus Ex series actually $6 over there right now? Here it's only a 50% discount on everything but HR.

    I can't believe that so few point and click adventure games have been offered as deals. I was really hoping that Primordia would make it as the Community Choice last time, but nope. C'mon Steam, give some love to the adventure game category!

    If a game is up for voting it will show up (or has already showed up) as a daily deal or flash sale. Keep an eye out for it.

    You Are right that sale is not on right now. You can still get Deus ex 3 the augmented edition for $4.50

    I Edited my original post to correct it

    Really hoping X-com goes on sale one more time. I know it's been offered at least twice already, but I only started playing it on iPad today and it has gone up from mildly interesting to "want" status.

    Apart from that... Only a few games I'm still on the lookout for. Most purchases are done. Yay. ^^

    Yay, sounds like there's hope yet for Primordia! It's only been up for community vote, not featured any other way. Fingers crossed!

    X-Com is $9.99 again!

    I can't speak for it but The Binding of Isaac is 1.24 and is said to have a ton of content. It has an art style/creepy vibe I tend to avoid.

    Deus Ex did have a 5.99 for all sale, fingers crossed you get another chance Sunday.

    Sang Froid (lumberjack vs werewolf game that plays like a story-driven Orcs Must Die) is $5, but after following some YouTube play throughs I can pass.

    My real question is do I want RE6 at $20 (all DLC is $5.97 total)? I haven't dive into the series since the demo for RE 5 turned me off.

    That's one I'm waiting for too! ;)

    For Binding of Isaac think Towelfight 2. Having played both at the time, I got the impression that Towelfight was the iOS version of Binding.

    RE6, I would say... pass. I think if you didn't like the look of 5, 6 won't change your mind either.

    Any excuse to not buy games does two things: 1. Wait for next years lower prices; 2. Gives my current stack a chance to be played.

    Note: some where under this pile... The note I made to remind me of Shadowrun Returns launching July 25

    More calm before the storm on today's sales.

    Fable 3 is $5 is about that interests me.

    I got CS:GO for $5, Company of Heroes for 2.50 in the last two days.

    Magical Drop V!

    I didn't realize it had a 4-player mode.

    (I've got a Magical Drop III cart in my 6-slot MVS cabinet. ;))

    Everyone vote for Retro City Rampage!

    PS> Haven't spent a dime of real money yet this sale - it's all been from selling cards! :cool:)

    Saint's Row, I would say.


    Something interesting is coming tomorrow on Steam. Normally the deals last for 48 hours, but this time the deals are ending in 24 hours, and the sale doesn't end for another 2 days. Wonder what they'll pull on us.

    If you're just checking the front page it always says the time until the next day.

    Just Cause on Steam (PC) - $0.27

    I think this sale only has about 4 hours left but for those of us who also play games on PC... Also, Clive Barker's Jericho (horror first person shooter) is only $1.27 on Steam.

    All week, I've been wishing I could get to a place that sells Steam cards. Gah. Well, I'll get one for next time. :p

    I've got a whole bunch of cards that I'm not sure I want. I've gone through all the badges on offer and there are only about 4 I would want. So much for me getting excited about them. :p

    (on a side note, the way you collect cards blows)

    Yeah, same here. I assumed you would get a card for every so much time played. The fact you only get 1/2 and that's it for all time really bites. Good luck getting to 5x (without spending a few bucks anyway).

    The other problem is most people are looking for the same few games (Borderlands, Skyrim, etc) which also makes it hard to trade when you want the same ones...

    I'm also a little leery of adding random people for the purpose of trading a few cards, and my current friend group is very "meh" on the whole topic.

    Seems like something is missing to really make this work...
