The Void is really really interesting as a concept and really really weird. I love me some weird stuff but this was too much :lol
Few other recommendations: any of the Indie Packs, the Commandos Pack or the LucasArts Pack.

Anyone try Hegemony? Impressions before the hour ends?
Click to expand...

Seems to be a good game. If you saw the screenshots and think this might be up your alley, its probably not a bad buy. Couldnt play it yet but the features and videos I saw looked very good. Should be worth the money during the sale.

Really hoping that NBA 2k11 gets a sale today. It's the only game I want and the only one I haven't see get a nice daily sale price. Come on Steam, deliver me some Basketball goodness!!!

Hmm, thanks for that. I am trying to avoid blind buys and console double dipping this time around. Let's see if I can hold out for the next 40 mins.

Good man. I like the dedication.

Anything else we expect to see on sale? I have a feeling that Morrowind won't show up now. :(

I'm ready to hit the buy button. Getting:

Hegemony: Philip of Macedon $3.00
Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition #10.00

Had to take out Singularity, I wanted it, but it's still a little steep and could get many more games with $25.00

I hope morrowind does.. I've been wanting it on steam for a while, but my roof is 5$ for that, since I already bought it on xbox and pc.. but I don't know where my pc copy is and I want it on steam.

so is there two days of deals left including this one? or three? I know it said it goes to jan 2nd but i'm not sure if they're including that day

I also wonder how batshit insane the sales will be on the last day. Everything must go !

Through Jan 2nd. Deals should officially end when Sunday's (encore of earlier deals most likely) ends.

Nice, thanks for the impressions. I tried out Imperium Romanum first, and while it seems fairly competent, it's a bit on the ugly side. Judging from your screenshot, the concept and interface seem unchanged in the sequel, so I'll definitely be installing this one next.

Did anyone make a spreadsheet of every sale item in the store? I've found that useful in the past in looking for games that didn't get daily deals.

I don't even know if there is anything else I want from Steam. I think my New Year's Resolution is to beat 20% of my Steam collection. That's only like 35 games or so :lol

Played it a bit more. Anyone interested should pick it up if you like your games to be a bit more complicated. There is a lot stuff going on that you need to take care of and the battles also seem to look a bit more interesting.

Note of advise: If you are reading this AND you are interested in the genre, you might want to get CivCity first to take your first steps. Grand Ages: Rome has a good tutorial but might be a bit overwhelming.

So Warhead is just giving me a black screen every time I run it after installing CCC Warhead 3.0. I get sound, and the little Steam pop up thing, but no picture. Help!

I wouldnt want to buy games more than a certain amount. Did you check the 5€ section in steam? you can change this to whatever number you like. "Only show me games below 7€" for example. Hope this already helps. Didnt see a complete list yet.

Have you looked at steamgamesales.com? I don't know if that's too elaborate for what you're after though.

Hope I can get all those Genesis games for like $5 or they discount that Sonic Racing Game to $5.

Also hoping for TF2 to go on sale for at least $5 to get some fresh blood.

Do you think Based Gabe would let you off that easily? No. Last day of new sales starts on Sunday. The sale itself ends on Monday.

Does it eventually go to menu? I had that issue where it was black for intro screens but fine for playing and when it got to the top menu.
