Spelunky is the pick there.
If you are not into fighters, Skullgirls isn't a great starting point.
Sorry, but I'm not a fan of those kind of price comparisons. Sure, it may be cheaper than a trip to Disney, but if it's a bad game then I'd rather pay the latter than buy the game (never been to Disney, but still...)
Besides, saying it's cheaper than X thing doesn't take into consideration the usefulness of the things in question. A loaf of bread can help me avoid death by hunger, while a game can only help me avoid death by boredom (the second being more important, of course). I'm not mad at you, by the way, it's just that I've been jarred right now because I decided to read the Steam forums for impressions on Papo & Yo, and seeing those kind of comments got on my nerves. So if I sound harsh I apologize, that's not my intention at all.
All of this is theoretical, mind you, since the game is already on my cart and I'm debating whether or not to grab another thing too.
Guacamelee and Papers, Please need attention as well.

wtf is guacamelee?
Sorry, I usually don't do them either. Anyway, they're definitely not bad games
If the full version of Papers Please is as addicting as the beta demo then I probably won't need to play another game for the rest of the month.
Haha, don't worry man. I appreciate your impressions, thanks for that!Sorry, I usually don't do them either. Anyway, they're definitely not bad games
same crusade, tho im pretty sure i'll only be able to get one
1) Spelunky
2) Skullgirls
3) Guacamelee
in terms of priority for me
also, I dont give a crap about how long a game is if the gameplay's good enough, but for those debating this into a "what can I get the most gameplay out of": Guacamelee is around 5 hours to beat I think? whereas with Spelunky or a fighter you pretty much set your own limit so theres that
Papers at $10 seems high considering what it is.

Get Spelunky on the Vita, or at least I think you've mentioned you have one?

Skullgirls PC Beta Tournament Has Over $2000 in Prizes
They are also going to add a 1080p high-res sprite pack in the future. Should be good.

oh man I was kinda counting this as a given for the PC version on release, weird
That's like 150 copies of Guacamelee
I wonder if id/Bethesda will ever get around to adding Keen Dreams and Aliens Ate My Babysitter. It bothers me knowing that the series is incomplete!

It's happening for release, but they haven't implemented it yet.

There are too many good games coming out in august.
I know, for some reason I thought I was getting rest this month ;-;
Going to buy Pikmin 3, Dragon's Crown vita, and Spelunky Vita/PS3 but after that(although I pre-ordered X-Com and Castlevania) nothing until GTAV and then nothing after that until the next consoles. Self control protocols have been activated!

is the one on steam not complete? were those separate stories?
I got Papo y Yo with the soundtrack, since if the soundtrack is like the trailer music, it sounds pretty neat. For all I know there may not be much game there, but I figure it should at least be a surreal puzzle/environment game with a neat soundtrack.
And one day I will have to try Call of Cthulhu again. I have bitter memories of attempting it back on some old (AMD?) graphics card, and the screen was filled with giant diamonds presumably where raindrops were supposed to be, and no matter what I couldn't find any solution for my particular graphics card, so I never went further.

So no Halloween/Autumn Sale purchases for you, then?

Yeah I agree. Lots of good games in August and even Ducktales is coming out too!
Will be totally worth it.
Keen Dreams is a "lost episode" while AAMB is the last episode of the series. The former in particular I'd like to see on Steam as it was my favourite of the bunch as a kid.
I'm thinking whether I should do the same (regular edition though). If I manage to sell my latest Mark of the Ninja card, I'll do it. Which is stupid, since it'll only cover $0.11 out of the $3.74 it costs, but I'm taking it as motivation to buy it.
I know you're probably half joking, but I don't even want to imagine where the rights for those games are these days. Softdisk doesn't really exist anymore, having become a dialup ISP which then went belly up. FormGen got bought by GT Interactive, which got bought by Infogrames, which became Atari...

Well.....maybe one or two thi *slaps self*
For anyone interested in the game, here is the trailer that got me really interested in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBChxYmCxwE
The music, style, and gameplay is what makes me want to get it, despite how much or little I may end up liking memes on the level backgrounds.
Is the ingame music as catchy as the trailer music?I'm aiming to cut my purchases prior to gta too. Once gta is out I won't need another game for atleast two months. Currently contemplating a third run through gta 4 ( first on pc).
Keen Dreams is now owned by Flat Rock and was actually recently released on Android. AAMBS is either attached to the corpse of Atari or buried somewhere at 3D Realms.

I need you to list the other 128 games.
One game per Saoirse Ronan avatar.
Yes. I can't see id/Bethesda hurrying to get something arranged for those 2 games, though, sadly.
Bethesda has proven it can be cooperative in these somewhat messy situations*, but, yeah, it's unlikely.
* Quake Wars next, please.
Edit: Wait, id has owned the rights to the QW since 2011? So where the hell is it!?
I think I may have a problem :/
I wasn't supposed to buy the Quake games, why did I do it?
The problem is that you only bought seven games.

What the fuck at Commander Keen price?
333,99 > 86,84 discounted
333,99 > 86,84 discounted
Retired so as not to conflict with Quake Live is my guess.
I wouldn't think so as they're completely different games.
That's the price of the QuakeCon Pack. If you click through to CK's product page you'll see the actual price.
