Lol @ the setting.... maybe it's good though? Anyone know anything about it?
It's Iron Sky Invasion for those where it's unavailable.

I saw the movie it's based on.
Went in expecting total garbage and still felt robbed.

How likely are the Dead Rising games going to get a discount during the sale? £19.99 is a bit excessive, considering how cheap the console versions go for these days. I've heard that Capcom tend to don heavy discount-proof armour during the sales.
Arse!!!! bought this blind on my phone an hour ago, ahh well it was only 3 quid
Well it was my opinion, you might find it a fun game

Dead Rising 2 has only been 50% off in the past, but Off The Record managed 75% during the summer sale.
no worries buddy, I'm still looking forward to giving it a go when I get home from work

The market is so borked with all these idiots putting up rare crates for $0.02. Noone's actually buying anything at market value. :/

Buy them now, resell them when they're out of crates and prices rise up?

If it's worth so much buy them all for 2 cents and make a sweet profit bro. Free market and all that! lol

Cave Story,1000 AMPS(more puzzle like but good),Aquaria.
I would recommend Cave Story. The rest is good too but not as awesome as Cave Story.
I wouldnt call Hell Yeah! a metroidvania game. Its too linear for being that. But its a good game anyway.
These last days I finished Spec Ops. Great game, and the story is pretty good for a war game. Also started Serious Sam: The Second Encounter Classic, but stopped playing at the second level and jumped to The Witcher.
I can already call that game a masterpiece, and I'm still at the first chapter. The only thing I didn't like is the stability: it tends to crash pretty often, sometimes twice in an hour. I hate that, but the rest is top-notch, even the combat.

The sad thing is, I bet a lot of people don't even know about marketplace yet. Probably just have their junk sitting in their library. Wait till everybody lists their junk.
But as others have said, if you really think it's under-valued, buy it up. My expectation is now that the barrier of entry has been removed, supply will greatly exceed demand on even the "rare" items.
Wish they'd open things up so I could go buy a soldier's hat for 05 cents.

Since I bought Borderlands GOTY retail over a month ago and the package still hasn't arrived, I'm considering in purchasing this one.

Do you want to split the bundle? I only want Civ IV Complete. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

A Naugthy Winter Crate... hmm... TO THE MARKETPLACE!

Perhaps! I'd rather wait until next monday to see if the game arrives, it's still on time to purchase the bundle.
Cha-ching. 75 cents, baby.

Most indie games on Steam are metroidvanias.
Ugh, I just had a guy at work come up to me and ask "is that a Half-Life t-shirt?". (No...no, it's not -- I'm wearing a red Borderlands shirt.)
One of these years, I'm going to make a New Years Resolution to actually play HL games through to completion without falling asleep out of boredom.

If you can get through Bordersnores games without falling asleep, I'm sure you can get through good, involving games like the Half-Life series.

I would add
Treasure Adventure Game not on steam it's free get on GOG and pin it to steam
Dark Souls
City is in no way a "metroidvania" game like AA.
D3RANG3D suggestion of Dark Souls is a good one though.
When I played it a year or so ago it was incredibly buggy and not fun to play. The graphics were always bugging out and the animation look like the work of an undergraduate. It might get better after the first hour but I wasn't compelled to find out.

I've never played any of the F.E.A.R. games, but I'm tempted to pick 3 up here (along with Alpha Protocol), and try and get the other games in the series on sale as well.
Do yourself a favor and play the previous games first. That way you won't hate the franchise before having played the good games.

Oh dear, that doesn't bode well for 3. What did they manage to fuck up?
Viking: Battle for Asgard is 50% on GMG today.
If you pile on the 35% off coupon (that ends today), it gets less than 5 bucks.
I think we got a 50% sale on the Autumn Sale on Steam, I wonder if it'll go any lower... (I ask because of regional pricing. It's cheaper down here).

Best to play the games and skip 3, unless you're curious.

I got Waking Mars on the humble android bundle and it's far and away the best smart phone game I've ever played. Hell, it would be good on a handheld gaming system even. I'll have to add it to my steam account.
Oh well. It's easy to decide: No purchase then.

Pretty much everything. 3 doesn't even pretend to be a horror game, featuring co-operative, score-based gameplay. The cover-based FPS gameplay is pretty good, but that's about all I can compliment. The story is virtually non-existent, the game manages to look graphically inferior to its immediate predecessor and gameplay is little more than moving through dull, generic 'horror inspired' zones shooting the same generic soldier model.
That's not to say the other games in the series don't have similar problems, but they make up for it in atmosphere and competent narrative. Play 1 [skip the expansions] followed by 2 [skip the DLC] if you want the best experience.
