Well, been playing some Magicka and Monday Night Combat, and both games are pretty enjoyable. Magicka is best played in a group (At least have one other person), though right now the code seems all around rough. Game doesn't close correctly, and it can be hard to join a game, but the actually game play is quiet fun, worth $10 IMO, and well worth it if it goes on sale and have some people to play with.
MNC is an enjoyable game, but it definitely could use more content. I don't think I can get much more then 40 hours out of it in its current state before I become board of it, but that isn't to bad for $15. It could also use some improvements on connecting to games.

Here's hoping. I bought Sims 3 day 0 because it's The Sims, but have had a strong enough will power to avoid buying the expansions. Unfortunately (fortunately), the expansions this time around seem to actually add things of value to the core experience*, so I don't know how much longer I can hold out. A Steam sale would be a very, very good thing for me.Kritz said:
*Open For Business for the Sims 2 was definitely worth it. The rest... not so much.

I tried inputting my Sims 3 cd key in Steam...

I don't wish to sound harsh on the game or it's devs but that is a high asking price for what I see in the trailer, it looks fun but £23 is rich.x3sphere said:

It does look pretty fun.
Wait for a price drop and free weekend.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but Gamersgate has changed their stance about having no Steamworks titles and are now carrying them.

I doubt good old Brad will change. He does have principles after all and he lives by them...graywolf323 said:

FYI, get magicka now while nobody knows how to play because screwing up in this game is way way more fun than min/maxing it will ever be.
I spent a good 2-3 minutes trying to pull off a meteor shower, which I eventually pulled off, but all I managed to do was kill my entire team with it in a firey death.
Even if 2/3rds of the time I can't join a game without it crashing.

Apropos of nothing, but playing Greed Corp on one monitor while streaming music / surfing the net in the other feels so right. Turned based games are great for "casual" play that isn't dumbed down.
Any other decent turned based games on Steam that are in the impulse buy pricing category?

If anyone wants to try out Crasher, there's a beta going on

I'm guessing you never played multiplayer. It's more like a class-based quake.

that's what happens when a game is 30 bucks and has no following. there are no bots, so you can't do anything unless there are others playing. i did a 1v1 with vert, and we both rage quit after a bit. send that link to some people, and see if they'd be down to play.Fredescu said:

Lol, I guess the Penny Arcade games aren't any good? No one even mentioned they are the weekend deal.
Edit: Nvm, said not very good on last page.

Has anyone tried Breach? Looks intresting but there's no demo.

Doesn't answer your question but the console version reviews are pretty consistently bad.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

I bought the penny arcade games. If I play for 10 minutes that's worth $3
Listen. I want an old school RPG style game that plays almost exactly like old school RPGs. I want sprites, I want level-grinding, I want magic, I want a stereotypical main cast and I want a simple, easy battle system and leveling system. Steam, do you have something for me?

Maybe Septerra Core.. it's $3 on GOG right now. Other than that, there are a bunch of rpg maker games that are what you want, but most are overpriced.
Actually these 2 are pretty good and free: http://site.scfworks.com/?page_id=3
They channel Suikoden pretty well actually.

They're coming to PC eventually as well. Presumably Steam unless they get denied by Valve.

Have you played Knytt and Knytt stories on pc? if not you are missing out.UraMallas said:Now we're talking, guys. Thanks. I'll check into those XBLIG when I get near my Xbox but for now I'm trying the PC ones.

There's the Shining series in the Sega Classics Pack 4. Both Shining Force are SRPGs but they're much closer to what you're looking for than Recettear, and then there's Shining in the Darkness which is pretty much it. Assuming you haven't played them before, I think it's a good option, plus you get Gunstar Heroes.
