Great! I promised myself I'll buy Toki Tori immediately when it's on sale.

I don't get the very binary split in quality people of this game. I played it for a couple of hours and it seemed like a buggy, broken, bland mess.

Well, it is much better now after all the patching, but it obviously plays very different than other, more CoD like, shooters.

ARMA 2 is just not a game that will ever appeal to everybody.....to say the least.

Well, it has its faults, and to be honest, most of the enjoyment comes from your own involvement in the game. If you can't get into it, you'll probably find the idea of ArmA 2 being super-awesome ridiculous. Just like it is with CS:S — some people hate hate hate it, find it bland, boring, repetitive, cheat-infested etc, but as soon as you're becoming somewhat invested into it, it rams its claws into you and doesn't let go. Similar things could be said about Mount&Blade, Civilization, Sim City and a lot of other games, although to different degrees, obviously.

Holy shit Toki tori at $2.50?! now that's what i call a good weekend deal, there's no excuse at this price, do you hear me everyone? get Toki Tori.

EDIT: Also space rangers 1 and space rangers 2: reboot and now available on steam, is weird that Space rangers 2 isn't listed because i though you needed to have it in order to play the reboot expansion.

Same here. I own it for the PS3 but I badly want my PC version. I'd buy it now, but I can wait on another sale.

Just saw the Toki Tori deal. BUY IT PEOPLE!!
Click to expand...

Absolutely. These guys know how to handle an Indie game. This sale in addition to the bonus levels and rewind feature that they've added should be enough to hook anybody who likes puzzle games.

I'd love it if other console downloadable titles get this treatment.

Can someone please help me out here?

Where can I get a 6 button control PAD for PC to play Street Fighter 4 with?

I have tried using 2 PS2 to USB adapters to use my old SF 15th Anniversary control pad but I'm having no luck.

i think maybe the madcatz sf4 pads work on the PC?

you can also use the ps3 controller if you plug it in via usb, although that possibly needs some software to map it and make it work

So in the past few day I've grabbed Flashpoint, Toki, and Bob for ~12 dollars. Insane.

Also, not Steam but Total Annihilation is now available on Impulse.

Steam
GOG
Impulse
GamersGate
Direc2Drive

Am I missing any that have decent sales?

Edit: Speaking of which, Flock! is on sale for $3.95 at D2D, ends today, I think.

Man getting those four new maps for Defense Grid reminded me just how great of deal that game was for $5. I just about feel guilty about the amount of gaming I've gotten out of that game for the price I paid. I hope to see some for pay DLC in the near future to reduce my guilt:D .

Funny you say this because that's how I felt about Killing Floor which I've played for nearly 150 hours. I paid $5 for the game through Steam and felt so guilty about it that I bought both skin packs.

Buying a Saturn USB pad off Ebay is the only correct option.

Also, I know its not Steam, but most of you probably missed it and its unavailable on Steam, but Condemned Criminal Origins is available for $3.73/£2.50 at Gamer's Gate this weekend:

http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/DD-COND/condemned-criminal-origins

An excellent atmospheric horror game, one of Monolith's true forgotten gems. I highly recommend you all pick it up at that price.

I felt the same way about Defense Grid. Everytime it's on sale, I gift it out to a few people to make up for the price I paid ($5).

You have to have enough for the regular price to complete a transaction with PayPal, for some reason.

In the last few days I see that they have been playing around with the beta's store front page, moving things about on the right hand side a little. I like how we can see what our friends bought, own, played last and how many overall steam clients are online. They also fixed the in-game text issues I was getting last week.

The wish list thing is awesome, but much like the categorizing, it's pretty inconvenient to use if you just want to go through and add a bunch of stuff. ):

The Operation Flashpoint deal does sound nice, but I don't know...

I know.....it's garbage. Even if it was free it wouldn't be worth your bandwidth. I spent too many hours trying to make that game good. It's too fundamentally broken to even be a little fun.
