So far only State of Decay and the Wizardry bundle has caught my eye. I was debating Roller Coaster Tycoon but I'm not sure if I really see myself playing it that much.

Can't say much else is high on my wish list. Unless they decide to discount Deus Ex: Director's cut.

Okay, after so many people mentioning this my curiosity is piqued; are wizardry 6 and 7 still fun today? Does Wizardry 8 hold up pretty well too?

I know this has being asked but it will help other Aussies and possibly Germans. If i get Saints Row 4 from Amazon will it be uncensored?

I wouldn't get it for pc if I were you. It has a shit ton of issues like stuttering and what not. As did most of the other AC games on the pc.

It shouldn't. If you're buying as an American (US address, US store) it should be an uncensored key. As I understand it, it's only the censored version if it's sold from the censored-region storefronts.

But I could be wrong.

Think Knights of Pen and Paper will be a daily deal? It totally looks like the type of game you'd see in a indie bundle, but I'm not sure if it's worth $5. Same with Evoland.

Picked up both Rogue Legacy and Spelunky. How do the save games work for these titles, do they have different profiles that my son and I can use?

Whether your question is "is it worth it" or "can I get it cheaper," here's the answer:

Xelios said:
Overall, Knights of Pen & Paper is passable in the context of mobile gaming, but completely forgettable when compared with quality games on the PC platform. Considering the price is $9.99 on Steam vs a mere $2.99 on iOS and Android, it’s borderline offensive that the devs left in-app purchases in the game--allowing you to buy gold with your Steam wallet funds. Such a shameless exhibit of its mobile origins is perhaps a fitting red flag for a game which also fails to break away from the shallow, repetitive gameplay those origins typically entail.

The Endless Space expansion Disharmony is 66% off costing a meager 3.40$. Really enjoyed the base game and it sounds like there's been a couple of updates to the expansion, I'll have to check it out.

Ick, wasn't aware of the micro-transaction crap. Looking at the review section on Steam (which, now I know it's actually useful, I'll be making more use of), I think I'll pass on it.

Man Spelunky is awful. I much prefer Rogue Legacy over that game so far, as grindy as it is.
Click to expand...

Spelunky is all about skill and knowledge, Rogue Legacy is as well, but with less emphasis on the two and gated by grinding.

The funny thing is I like difficult platformers to an extent, but I'm not very good at them. Though Volgarr, Spelunky, and Rogue Legacy are helping my skills.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I'm going to agree with you on this one. I played Spelunky for about an hour and only made it past the first 4 levels (out of the mines) once, and I didn't have a spare bomb to open the tunnel.

So after almost an hour of playing I've got exactly nowhere. I like hard platformers but the random nature of this game lends itself to "oh you fell and died and there wasn't anything else you could have done about it" much more than Rogue Legacy's "Oh you died and there was nothing you could do about it this time, but now you have more powerful gear and upgrades so next time it won't happen.

I guess I'm just not a huge fan of hardcore roguelikes.

That's what I'm holding out for as well. Rome II and Shadowrun Returns. Maybe Remember Me if it gets low enough as well.

I was out of town when Rome II released and reading all of the problems it faced at launch kept me from grabbing it. At some point I decided to just wait until Steam Sale. Sad, Total War is one of my favorite franchises and I've been getting the itch for the past two months.

I have no idea lol. I bought it for nostalgia reasons. I do plan on playing 8 again. But honestly it'll probably sit in my backlog for a bit.
