Pretty disappointed that they didn't bring back Civ IV (which I actually regretted passing up on almost immediately) and instead brought back all the deals I was smart enough to take the first time. 
At this point I'm just weighing grabbing The Witcher, Aquaria, and/or Deus Ex before the sale packs up.

I suddenly feel an urge to get a WW2 flight sim.
2.49 - Pacific Fighters
4.99 - IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
2.49 - Combat Wings: Battle of Britain
Any others I should be aware of before picking one? And which one should that be? Got a feeling it's the middle one.

I already own a copy on the X360 though since release. I don't really have that great of a graphics card to support it (X1650 Pro 512 MB DDR2 clocked @ 500 Mhz for GPU and 540 Mhz for memory)

LucasArts Adventure Pack
Left 4 Dead 2
Trine
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Bioshock
GTA4
= £45ish
Not the most, but a good haul nonetheless. Couldn't resist double dipping on GTA4 for that price in the end.

Nice. I'm sure today's sales disappointed some, but I had planned to pick up Torchlight today no matter what (and so I'm no longer disappointed I missed the previous 1-day sale).
Plus, just yesterday someone was shocked I never played Bioshock, their favorite game of the past few years. So I figured I'd check to see how much it was on Steam...

My haul:
Tourchlight
Deadspace
Crysis
Crysis: Warhead
Street Fighter IV
Half Life Source
Mass Effect
Sid Meier's Railroads!
Even though I'm disappointed with today's sales, for the overall sale I just can't complain. I might still pick up Defense Grid, Grid, and Batman. I may need some convincing though.
1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
Mass Effect. After playing a little Dragon Age Bioware got me hooked to their RPG system all over again. I haven't played it yet, but it was a STEAL at 5 bucks.
2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?
Sid's Railroads! After the first time you played one level you pretty much played the whole game.
3) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)
About 70 dollars
4) What will you do differently next year?
Not trust whatever weekend deal they have right before the big sale. Lookin' at you Torchlight.

Honestly GTA4 PC's launch was a major clusterfuck but my word is there some serious FUD surrounding that game. I've never heard that one before mind! :lol

For someone looking to try X3 (big freelancer fan here), should I get Reunion or Terran Conflict? Not looking to buy the gold pack for both, I know I'll never be able to spend the time to play two X3 games. Thanks

Zaraki_Kenpachi is the most awesome/generous/cool guy on GAF. That is all.

I'm torn. A friend of mine worked on Torchlight and gave me a free non-Steam copy signed by him (smart ass, since he wasn't actually a dev, just an ad guy).
Part of me wants to just buy it and transfer my save file so I can support the devs and get Steam support. Then again, I've spent a LOT of money so far.

They're only £1 over budget and both great buys (my first pickups in the sale as it happens) but if you have to narrow it down to one I'd go with Painkiller.

I'm the same (I will finish it one of these days) but yeah, at that price its an awesome deal. Tbh, all those 24 hour deals are insanely good, its no coincidence that I own every last one of them.

For everyone buying Stalker make absolutely sure you get the Stalker Complete 2009 mod.

I can't say this enough since I was a cynic and now have been converted:
I don't see enough people getting Defense Grid. Pick it up! Amazing tower defense game, even if you are burned on the genre! $2.49 is a steal! I picked it up at the original $2.49 sale, and have received my moneys worth and more.
