What's worth buying on Steam for $4.99 or less?

Space Marine was a lot cheaper on Steam recently afair.
Yep. Space Marine's been 75% off a bunch of times I believe so this is not a terribly great deal.

Mini Ninjas is on sale for less than 5 bucks; that one's not bad. There's also Dungeons of Dredmor and Puzzle Agent both for $5. Dredmor's worth the 5 bucks but might get a discount in the summer sale, whereas Puzzle Agent is worth the 5 bucks but will likely be sold in a bundle with other games in the summer sale.
People might tell you the Binding of Isaac is worth the $5 from what I remember hearing about it, but I have not personally played it.

It is exactly what it says.
How is Saints row:The Third on PC? Thinking about picking it up.
I've had weird bugs with my AMD card and I can't run the game higher than 25-30fps for some reason, haven't check in a while so I don't know if they fixed that since.
Other than that it's fine.

It's good. Buy it if you like open-world GTA-style games.
It's worth mentioning that the controls are absolutely fine with keyboard and mouse. (though aiming with the mouse kind of makes the game a bit too easy)

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Nice deal, I bit. I saved an extra 1,15 Euros trading in those crappy free games they gave away recently.
Less than 13 for SR3! On Steam! Even though they sell it for like 30 there! Pretty cool.
I hope it can run and look better than GTAIV on my aging PC though.

Same here. But I got up to 35, in addition to crashing most times that played. Very weird, I should've been able to max it.
Played through the whole thing, but it was sucky for me. Not the game, which was great, but the performance.
I added the DiabloIII.exe (not the launcher one, but that comes up when I run it) shortcut to my Steam list. Overlay works great for me.
I tried this as well and still didn't work for me
Or at least I think I did this. Guess I'll have to look at it again.I tried this as well and still didn't work for me
It's odd, because all my friends say they can't get it working, but I have no issues. I'm special!

Picked up Dear Esther, at what I feel/hope is a fairer price.
For the above bundle, Blueberry Garden was kinda garbage, and Osmos had some really nice touches but I only enjoyed about half the modes. The others just frustrated me.

Are you fucking serious? I barely played anything from the last sale thanks to Tribes, Dota 2 and CS:GO. Jesus.
Oh classic gamer premature ejaculation then. Panic over.

Try using this as your Steam target (with your own path of course) -
"E:\Diablo III\Diablo III.exe" -launch
This works for me.
Here's a screenshot to show how it should look
Completed chapter 3 of The Dream Machine and I can't wait for chapter 4. While the first 2 chapters were a bit on the lean side, the 3rd chapter kept me busy and had me stumped on a puzzle for awhile. Really glad I jumped into this game blindly, really digging the story and presentation so far.

Dear Esther was pretty nice. Took me 81 minutes at a very slow pace, would probably have felt ripped off had I paid full price so I'm glad I held off. Will probably play it again I missed stuff.
I'm trying to get my backlog down like a lot of people.

lol good luck with that. Want to know how to get your backlog down? Stop using Steam. Thats the only way.
I can literally see myself breaking my laptop if I played B.U.T.T.O.N.
Okay, another thing with Crysis. In the menus, I get a weird affect with my mouse pointer. Basically, none of the options/buttons/whatever are affected when I hover my mouse over, so I can't select them. They are affected if I hover my pointer something like an inch above. They won't detect my mouse if I don't do that. So weird.

For both Diablo 3 and starcraft 2 the only way I could get the overlay to work in steam was to make it borderless windowed, which also makes it easy to alt tab out of.

Daily Deal - CID the Dummy $1.24 (75% off).
Fixed itself when I started the game up to sign in online (like the above poster suggested).

Weird. I didn't figure this would work differently on different PCs. For me I just added it as a Non-Steam game as usual with no problems.

Someone else had the same issue on here and it wasn't working until he did that. I don't know why it does what it does.

It sounds incredibly shady when quoted like that, but when you read the article, the next line says -
So the partial quote isn't as disingenuous as it might seem.
