it's been as low as $3.75 on Steam
Hmm. Going to give it some more time, but I'm not feeling Lone Survivor thus far. Doesn't seem to be anything here I'm bothered by, but outside of the sound design, there really isn't anything I'm particularly impressed with either.

I hate 2012 is doom stuff regardless whether they're fictional or not.
Besides, what's the next doom after 2012?

Doom 4.
And it's been $1.99 IIRC on amazon
You're not the only one. I couldn't understand all the praise for it..

oh you. everybody knows Doom 3 BFG will sell like shit and lead to the cancellation of Doom 4.
I swear, Amazon is killing it.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines was already taken by someone else.
I've finished three games in the past week on Steam much to my surprise, since it's rare I have these productive periods. Legend of Grimrock was solid, and there's an illusion it's even better than it is since there are so few games in existence like it, and none recent (especially considering the real time combat).
Dear Esther was a 1 hour utter disappointment for me but I still appreciated the gift Baha!
Superbrothers: Swords & Sworcery was a dark, mysterious experience that I didn't expect, but I loved the feeling it gave me. Short & sweet game and I really enjoyed getting all the achievements except "cheating cheater"! Soundtrack was pretty awesome and that really helped with the mood, though the dialogue had a bit too much hipster slang considering the circumstances. I don't set very high expectations when I go into the plethora of indie games being churned out these days so it was a pleasant surprise.
Anyway I may play Vessel next and, like everyone else, looking forward to the Steam sale. My main wants are Anno, Alan Wake, Thief pack, Rage. Anything else will just be a bonus as my wishlist is pretty bare with some scraps and unreleased titles these days.

Oh that's disappointing. I was really interested in that game.
RPS namedropped Silent Hill 2 for their WIT and I knew they were completely full of shit, but I expected something ... a bit more than this. Apparently it's pretty short so I suppose I'll soldier on, but eh.
Your Steam recommendation on this cracked me up. I felt the exact same way.

Dear Esther : I sat down with my GF and played through it in one go. We both enjoyed it because it was a unique psychological experience.
Lone Survivor : After watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5rQqKCKj-s i was really interested in the game and played it. I didnt completed it but i will in the next coming days. The game is so far really good. Good atmosphere and a good survival system. If oversee the shitty Map and the pixel graphics u will have a good ride.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with the pixel graphics. Not the best out there but I've seen much worse.

Xelios' recommendations are always the most informative.
Fantastical
Death Prophet
I need to give it more time as well, but I'm not feeling it either at the moment.

I didn't really like Alan Wake tbh. I should probably give it another shot though.
My main wants are:
Skyrim
LA Noire
Space Quest Collection
Costume Quest
and maybe
The Walking Dead
Stacking
Lone Survivor
Worst game ever you say? Now you have me interested, must buy it so that I can say I've played the worst game ever!
There's bound to be a 75% or higher sale on it eventually, I'd at least keep it to $2.50 to satisfy morbid curiosity.

Well ok, if you say so.
This should be a feature of the mobile app, if it isn't already.
No worries.
Or it'll just be reworked as a military shooter.
Typical.

Typical.
Thanks anyway though.
It's actually $2.50 if you can find people to split the cost of the 4-pack. I might buy it whenever the 4-pack is 75% off. Those arm weapons are just too sexy to resist.
Well to be fair I was away from Steam and GAF for over two months while moving and getting some things in order, but I still try to read the thread every day. Thanks for thinking of me, glad to see you back in time for the sale.
Thanks! I try to put one up for every game I finish so I can keep track. Steam's character limit is pretty brutal and it's hard for me to be that succinct sometimes, so a lot of what I want to say gets left out. Also wish I could edit old reviews without having to delete and repost them.

That is why the steam sales are so good for Australians. Max Payne 3, now on sale for the special price of only $60 USD!
I love you.. I was starting to worry I was the only bitter Aussie-pricing cynical prick on here!
no no no.. this thursday *fingers crossed*

As an Aussie I like to hate the Aussie pricing too.

The € prices on Steam have been pretty good to me for about a year now since the Swiss franc has gotten comparatively stronger. Summer 2011 was even below retail prices, now 50€ are 60CHF which is still $62 but at least on par with retail. I still like to jump on Amazon and GetGamesGo prices when I get the chance.
Edit: Ok, looking at retail prices I'm actually getting a much better deal on Steam than from retail. What is this madness?!

Oh yeah.. I know about the AusGAF thread.. just seems a bit too random for me
Plus Ricki Lee isn't awful.. she's a big fat slut - well according to some neighbours of my mate who used that as their WIFI network name

At least we all get uplay and GFWL. The other sale killers.

Yes
Oh and you guys know how to make some resolutions in The Last Remnant to be windowed? Kinda peeved that 1600 x 900 isn't in windowed mode.
I'm slowly and laboriously going through my Library, making note of which games have DLC so I can snap it up for peanuts at a later date, and during my virtual travels I discovered that -- brace yourself -- Ghostbusters: The Video Game has been removed from the Store.
I've used it, thanks!
