Hard to make a huge mistake with five bucks, unless that mistake leaves you with a venereal disease. I hated L.A. Noire but I'd say you are probably fine.

Don't buy Fray or Eternities Child, not even for 1$. Believe me, its a mistake.
Agreed, it has some really good things about it and I would say it's worth 5 bucks. I enjoyed playing through it.

I remember when I thought I loved L.A. Noire as well.

Believe this guy. I tried the demo of Eternity's Child and I also did not like it. Not every cheap game is worth your time. Sometimes, games need to be polished to be fun.

Yup. Fun game, especially if you play with a friend. Sitting on the couch, discussing whether you think the person is lying or not. Drinking if you get it wrong. Def. worth the $5 price tag.

Ok, this buying PC games with deep discounts is going to be my financial ruin. 
I just saw Just Cause 2 for $3.74 at GamersGate - http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-JC2/just-cause-2
Im seriously thinking about getting it even though I have already played the hell out of it on PS3.
:-D
Also, Orcs Must Die - $7.50. Good price or it will be cheaper during Summer Sale?

Wait for the sale with Orcs Must Die, I mean it's worth it at regular price, but the sale will be here soonish and I think it was like $3 during winter.

Just Cause 2 is amazing on PC. Get it for mods!
Its always ran fine for me although I have seen posts that suggest it doesn't run well on AMD cards. I'm guessing most people label it a poor port because it runs at 30fps because of the way the facial animations were recorded. Its definitely worth $5 imo.

So buying Just Cause 2, thank you! I already beat it and sunk sooo many hours into it on 360, I'm willing to do the same again.
Also, if the Steam sale isn't tomorrow it would be the perfect time for Amazon to do some massive sales.
Please Amazon. PLEASE.Raijin_Cain

Yeah, its better to wait.
Oh man! Dont tempt so much!
I fear for my sanity during the summer sale.

Double post. Sorry.
Yeah, it's worth the money for that period of enjoyment I would say.

Yeah, it was the first game I bought for my younger sister after we installed her new GPU. I still need to mod it for her, though
Do NOT buy Orcs Must Die for $7.50. That game has been thoroughly devalued by steam sales and is now not worth more than $2.50.
Been playing some Sonic 4 Episode 1, and its not to bad. The game isn't that well crafted, but it is a nice 2 hour platforming romp. The dessission with the sound just confuses me though. Their boss music is too happy, there is no music on the special stages, and they mixed Sonic Adventure Sounds, classic sounds, and some really crappy new sounds effects (The Life sound is just dumb). Physics are wonky like others have said, but the game is not annoying hard, or boring. I would say the game isn't a bad buy for $2.50.
I don't think it will go cheaper, and yes, gamersgate is safe, it's owned by paradox, bought some things there and I had no problem.

Ok, you people drove me over the edge.
Just bought Just Cause 2. Again!
Also, I got the DLC that gives the parachute boosters for $1.00.

3.75 for Just Cause 2 is a good price. There's a chance that it'll be cheaper on the Summer Sale, but it won't be much cheaper. Then again, who can complain about 1,25 price difference? Sure, it's the DLC... but it's one Dollar!
Orcs must Die is hella expensive at 7,50. Just wait for the Daily Deal.

For three dollars 74 cents, probably worth it even if you only grab a trainer and use that to muck around with. Infinite ropes a go-go.
I can't even tell who's joking about this anymore. I know EA started it but I'm not sure if it went through some sort of metajoke stage to a serious thing.
I mean yes, it may well be cheaper on sale, but it's probably still a decent game that's "worth" $7.50.
Yeah......
Orcs Must Die is a great game, easily worth $7.50. It might go on for sale cheaper, it has been on sale for cheaper previously, but if you want to play it now, you can't go wrong for $7.50.

People! People! Im already convinced. You can stop selling.
I think game developers should just pay us. We do a better job at marketing than they do.

Have never had any issues with GG. Just grab the key and register the game on Steam.

This made me laugh... but then I was sad.
I go the other way. I think there's a lot to be said for not having to run such a massive operation during the heart of the summer holiday. If they've backed things up, it's because they've wanted to get away from that. I find it hard to imagine they would delay things and then start it on the 4th.

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
It's so much better on PC. I put like 50 hours or so into the 360 version, probably much more actually, and then I bought it for PC this spring. It's my most played game on Steam by far. The mods make it great, but the game is a STUNNER on PC. It's incredibly good looking. I mean, it was pretty on the consoles but it can't come close to the majesty of it running on PC.
I find when I want to play a more involving game I wind up firing Just Cause up instead and dinking around for a couple hours. It's a great sandbox but it serves to ruin my plans for other games too often. It's super easy to pick up and put down.

I'm pretty sure I already did (probably at $10-15), and I liked what I've played, which is kind of why I was posting that and wasn't sure if the other poster was being sarcastic.

Yeah....I'm going to believe when I see it. Plus I kind of want a confirmation from Valve, not a random 3rd party dev that could potentially be trolling.

Oh look at that Nabs, what do we have here.

If you don't want to open the link, Dev just said he is guessing to as he heard it from another Dev.

Working with my theory of the 4th. Its going to be from the 4th to the morning of the 16th. Only a week people. We can survive.
He was just guessing, he admitted it in a later post.

it looks like a really good RPG plus I have everything else they've put out on Steam? 66% off isn't a bad deal by any means and if it somehow goes lower during the summer sale oh well I'll have lost maybe one dollar
