That game has picked my interest. What's it like? Reviews haven't been too favorable.

Hmm did we have free games/bonus tickets/etc. last year in Autumn?
I've been sitting on three copies of Torchlight 1 if any wants them. Don't even care about trading unless you have something to get rid of also.

It's very good, albeit different in a myriad of ways from AoE 2. May or may not drive you nuts if you're really nostalgic for that.
The units are low-poly and don't have lip sync in cutscenes and the like, but overall the game still holds together well. Dat lighting and water.
It tries to be Deus Ex and it fails. But that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It has a nice atmosphere, the gun play is cool, and so are some of the skills, but it's scattered, and lacks direction. Not to mention that there are endless respawns for enemies, giving you a feeling of lack of progression.
When I first played it around release, it was buggy. My story line got glitched and I couldn't progress further. If you get it for cheap (sub $7ish), sure, but otherwise it's a pass.
EDIT: Also the storyline(if there was one?) is garbage. Which again ties into the lack of direction.

Also I'm gonna trust you guys in Critter Crunch.
If an indie game is 75%+ off already, it won't go any lower/be featured in a daily deal. The "wait for the daily deals" rule doesn't really apply to those. I have participated in every Steam sale since Winter 08, and I don't recall that ever happening. I guess it isn't impossible, but the chances of it happening are very very low.
Typically, games that will be featured as daily deals have discounts of 20-50% during the rest of the sale. Never buy any of those until the last day.

My picks so far:
Intrusion 2 ($3.39)
Indie Game the Movie ($2.50)
Zeno Clash ($1)
I'm only buying it for the combat if I do get it, so I can wait for a $12.50 GOTY sale

I strongly though about it, but passed due to possibility of a GOTY version with all the DLC later and repetitive boring dungeons.

Um, do you think THQ will last long enough to make a gold edition?
The physics are definitely fun. Weird, but fun. It's like Metal Slug and Cortex Command had a baby that was somehow also Russian.
Since what I assumed my GOTY would be ended up being pretty much shit (AC3), Darksiders 2 surprisingly is going to end up in my top 3.
Controller by far.
I played fine with m/kb.
Dpn't quote me on this but I am fairly sure there is a short movie that fills you in the plot so far in the Witcher.
Yo, PM me when Torchlight 2 and Witcher 2 goes on a featured sale.

Bought and watched Indie Game: The Movie($2.49). Really good movie, although Phil Fish comes off as a kook in the best way possible.
PM me for T2 as well.
You can load a Witcher 1 save. There is some NPC dialogue and NPCs that exist or don't depending on the choices you made during the game. Secondly, your starting equipment will change depending on the save.

I shouldn't really buy anything this time ..... not with the backlog I have already .... will I manage to ? bah

listen to the mad man
Well, there'll be a better sale next month, indie bundles mean that 90% of the "hidden gems" you'd find here, you already bought for even cheaper, non-Steam Steamworks sales take care of a lot of the big retail games, and you probably already have a 3-digit backlog. So, it's pretty logical.

This is probably over by now (darn work), but I will still quote this because I bought it and people say it is a great game!!

Plus for a lot of countries you have to go through a big hassle to get most of the newer games these days due to pricing.
But I'm still holding out for Endless Space.
If it's 75% off then its safe to assume that the game won't get any bigger discounts from there. I've never seen discounts bigger than that during any of the steam sales.

Ditto for me. Already have it for PS3 but it's so worth the double-dip.

Is that PC version of Darksiders 2 still shit or is it the ultimate version?
Bought. Thanks for the heads up!

Wtf, someone on my friends list owns one. Time to investigate...
Age of Empires III is the best strategy game not named Age of Empires II. It has two awesome expansions, the second of which made by the developers of Rise of Nations.
It has a really diverse and well realized set of civilizations:
-Spanish
-British
-French
-Portuguese
-Dutch
-Russians
-Germans
-Ottomans
-Iroquois
-Sioux
-Aztecs
-Chinese
-Indians
-Japanese
who all play quite differently and have a plethora of unique abilities and units.
If you like RTSs, BUY IT NAO GAF.

Great timing since I wanted to ask a question about AoE. What does the "Complete Collection" come with?
In the mood for a RTS, and this seems to fit the bill.
