if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
But I'm waiting for a GOTY edition that has all the DLC! I'll have a nagging sense of incompleteness otherwise.
And I don't know if I should buy or wait to know if they really are putting Bf4 on AMD Rewards. If they don't put it, I'll get Sleeping Dogs for free.

I won't because I don't have the time. I still need to finish GTA V. I took a break after the shitty online issues and that fucking awful mission with trevor that felt like I was working for 30 minutes.
It looks like a decent game and I feel your pain, but I have another 20 games on steam I dont have the time finish.

Got me Don't Starve and my god, just wanted to play it for a few minutes. 2 hours less sleep. Very addictive game.

Okay, so hopefully someone will reply in the next five minutes.
Darksiders II or Resident Evil Revelations? Leaning Res Evil right now.

I'd go for Darksiders II, then again, I'm not a fan of RE, so keep that in mind.
Probably too late, but Revelations is for me the best Resident Evil since RE2.
Yup, didn't like the turn the serie took with 4!
I loved Darksiders II, however most people didn't like it.
It is kind of repetitive and very padded, but i loved the artstyle, the combat and the awesome Jesper Kyd soundtrack.
Revelations i played only the demo, it looked alright i guess. (i still got it at the last sales)

Mechanical, and plot wise its not a good game. It is however charming in its own little weird way. I think its due to the atmosphere, which is silly and surreal and creepy in a very campy way. The characters also add a lot, to the experience. I feel like they are pretty good and interesting.
I would recommend watching giant bomb's endurance run of the game, because it really isnt a game with solid game-play.

Did you like Twin Peaks?
If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend watching a few episodes and see if the weirdness is your cup of tea.

I've seen the game Dream pop up a few times, and I think it just looks too interesting to pass up for this sale.

Well for the first time I've set up another Steam account and double dipped on games so we can have local co-op going in the Cyber household as we've got two gaming PC's set up.
My sons are loving Orcs Must Die in co-op mode in different rooms.
Can anyone suggest any other co-op games on Steam that are great and are going cheap?

From a glance:
Tower Wars - $1.99
There are a couple of other online co-op games on sale but they're your zombie killing games and I have no idea how old your kids are. If I had to recommend one though, the Left 4 Dead series is great and can be played with just 2 players if they play in a private lobby.

How's They bleed Pixels and Super House of the Dead Ninja?
It's the true sequel to Deus Ex.
Bleed Pixel is a pretty cool action platformer with a great artstyle. Somewhat challenging too, so beware if you dont like frustrating platformers.
It's the perfect mix between choice-based gameplay and story. Everyone that enjoys gaming owes it to themselves to play the game.
They Bleed Pixels is a solid 8-bit platformer. The checkpoint system in it is pretty unique and builds tension. It's also difficult, but not SMB level.

Easy now, it's definitely not as good as Deus Ex. Although the writing is far better but that's about it.
Super House of Dead Ninjas is fast-paced oldschool ninja-style action. Fun stuff.

Sorry I dont have time for a more in depth write up on the game, but I would not recommend Afterfall Insanity. Cheaply made game that attempts to be a big budget game. Could have worked if they had forged their own path with some unique gameplay and direction like you'd expect a smaller company with a small budget to do. Instead followed the formula of most badly made generic big budget titles and the game falls flat on its face.

I keep hearing that Monaco is best if you have people to play with. So if you do, I'd go with that otherwise skulls.

Yep. Got removed. I almost made the same mistake. Granted, they're both pretty mediocre games.
Aw man, I doubt any of my friends are going to get Monaco.

What a shame, their attempts of over reaching seemed kind of charming, idk maybe it's a game that makes a good let's play.

Are they adding games to the sale? I don't remember seeing I Am Alive on sale yesterday.

Shhhh, that way leads to the path of madness for some gaffers.
edit* huh dont't remember Doorways being there before either.

Another vote for L4D2.
Chaos Engine is great although can be local on one PC too if you've got a couple of joypads. You can get a lot of fun out of Killing Floor with just 2 people as well.

Just Miamasta and Bloodlines for me on this sale. Will wait for further discounts on some others

God No don't get it.
It starts ok (Which is probably what you watched) but then it gets into this really terrible mad max vibe that's almost unplayable.

Has anyone played Skulls of the Shogun ? I'm very interested in getting it but want some gaf impressions before making my decision

In case anyone was concerned (...I was), the game Saw (which would not be sold yesterday as keys were run out) has resupplied keys, and now is purchasable on Steam again today.
Also while not an 'official' Halloween sale, Dementium II HD is now listed on Steam, it is 35% off, and releases in December: http://store.steampowered.com/app/217100/?snr=1_4_4__105_2

I haven't played DX:HR yet, but VtM:B is at least as good as the original Deus Ex.
Until the third section of the game, good thing the writing is great throughout.
