Oh ok. I was getting the 1.40 each, and thought the voucher would bring it down to 1.40 for all.

Summer Sale is usually LATE June, right?
They won't possibly ever do it say, week of June 10th, would they? I mean, that's not even summer yet.

Gunslinger now has a demo http://store.steampowered.com/app/204450/
I've been playing it in short sessions (2 missions / 30 min) and I'm having a great time with it.

Now? They've been happening for at least 2 months.

You should ban anybody that buys it at the price.

Thanks to both of you. Bought them all. Played them on console before, and glad to double dip.

I'm ready to give you my money, Rocket.
I have my doubts it'll be a better looking and/or more sound game than what we got with DayZ modded ArmA2.
I have a feeling they won't fix the cubersome interface. I mean, I don't have a problem with that, but I don't think that things like "oh, you changed weapons and you didn't have enough space in your backpack for your ammo, so it was all lost to the aether" or "you dropped your backpack in the water and it's now gone" will be fixed.
Not only that, the fact that I don't have friends to play the game with, so I'm always alone on a game that anybody can kill you for anything and you will lose everything at any given time, does not make for a very appealing gameplay experience to me.
I mean, I really like everything about it, except when I go play alone and get killed by an idiot for no reason.
I will most certainly play the demo/beta/whatever and get it at a hefty discount.

Is The Guild II any good?
I kind of horde games of that ilk, so I will likely buy it anyway ><.

I had the same feeling. And it WAS good.
Also, I give ups to They Bleed Pixels in case anybody needs a game from the list to look at.

God, they are just determined for every man, woman, and child to have those damn Zombie/Alien Shooter games.

I refuse to accede to their intentions.
EDIT: I knew I should have checked before posting that. Apparently I already own them.
God damn. Groupees is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites. All the other bundles are like "here's a ton of games you already have....but a few you don't so you know...half of it is trade fodder"
groupees is all like "yo, here's a ton of games on sale, all of which you probably don't have yet and even if you do have one you don't even have to buy it"
yup that's exactly how it is. so good.
I like it a lot, however it's buggy (especially online), but manageable. You can get an unofficial beta patch, it helps a little.
If you're going to get it, only buy The Guild II: Renaissance. It has pretty much all of the content of the other games, and it's standalone.

Anyone here getting Grid 2? Surprised by the screenshots, all of them are absurdly blurry/smeary.

The CoJ: Gunslinger demo is pretty cool. I can see the storytelling getting real tiresome but the rest of the game feels so right.
Joe Molotov

Of course you do.
I'm not surprised. Grid 1 devs had made a god awful piss-filter and blur thing going. Racing games now rely on blur, for that sense of speed.
With that being said, waiting for that $7.50 steam sale for Grid 2.

Not really, the storytelling is fantastic throughout the whole game.
Is there a car list for GRID 2? If it looks like an extensive list I'll jump on it. Especially if it has the Icona Vulcano in there somewhere. I'm really hoping it get put in Project CARS. I would love to see the interior view of that car in that game.
Whoa! I never heard of The Night of the Rabbit. Where the heck did this come from? It looks interesting.

That's good to hear. I was afraid it would reach obnoxious levels with "nah, that ain't really what happened".
Everyone tries to add next-gen dirty lenses to their game.
I hope it can be disabled entirely or I'm not going to get that game.

The game does that a couple of times, but it's definitely not overused.

Revenge of the Titans > Three Cards.
Secret of the Magic Crystals > Two Cards.
The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb DLC > One Card.
Faerie Solitaire > One Card.
50% OFF Killing Floor Coupon > One Card.
I will also trade any item above (or combination, make me an offer) for

Just a guess, though. But I hope I'm right.
No idea, but I doubt that someone could be too happy with a game they can't bring themselves to finish. Meanwhile, I think Portal is an exquisitely crafted title, and the last time I played it I beat it in less than 1.5 hours.
And Bit.Trip Flux, a game I'll never grow tired of praising (seriously, imagine a fantastic game. Well, Flux is even more fantastic than that!) lasts exactly one hour. One hour. And I'd rate it with a 10/10: it has everything I want in a game, and more importantly, it's always a joy to play (except one time that I was in a bad mood and lost pretty soon at the first stage which made me ragequit, but that was a flaw in me, not in the game).
Oh no, you just didn't! Is that a Twinsen avatar I see? IS IT?
I see a couple of 75%'s, someone probably slipped up there.

Same here. Should've grabbed them during the last sale.
Same with Blur.
This will probably only make me buy more games in the long run so I don't miss out.
gaben please.
I didn't do the same mistake with Blur - that one I managed to get. The problem with Riddick is that it always went for 66% off on big sales, and I always had other games I wanted more.
I still actually want to play the Riddick games. Meh.
