Most tower defense games are shit. You should buy it because it is the best pure TD game. No contest. After playing Defense Grid every other TD game will be a unbalances mess to you, it's that engaging. I hate tower defense because I played too much of it in Warcraft 3 but Defense Grid is the one exception.
Also Orcs must Die is the best action TD game.
Someone mentioned Warblade earlier in the thread.
edit: Warband, Warblade o_o whoops.
It's polished, has lasers, and has a funny British robot voice. It does a good job introducing you to different weapons. It has (had?) a free map or two with GLADOS sound effects which are also funny. It's potentially addictive. You can beat the game instead of endlessly playing like say, tetris. Overall it just seems like a good implementation but I don't play other tower defense except for Orcs Must Die eventually.
I don't like paid DLC much but presumably the Defense Grid DLC is cheap right now.
Warband, since it improves on the original, and people say WF&S is sucky and rather short, since it's a stand-alone expansion.
Hmm, they did the same thing with Psychonauts. Hot stealth dailies.

Okay I'll hold off on Batman for now despite really wanting to play it. I can hold out until the next sale and I'm sure Batman will be $25 by then.
uuuuuuh Hitman was on sale this summer, I got Blood Munnay
I heard people saying that Warband is better than With Fire and Sword.
Actually, you are almost right. Defense Grid is the best TD game on PC. The best overall TD game is Comet Crash.
I have 7 now as well. Do I dare?

I don't own it but read in the past a few folk recommending warband if you are new to the series.
Go for it weird avatar guy

Ok, cool. If I get it, should I get the pack with all the DLC?
I already have Orcs Must Die, and I enjoy it!
It is, by a long long way. The thing is, the best thing about Warband is the one thing that With Fire and Sword doesn't really have. Freedom. Warband allows you, especially with a bit of modding (I used the Floris Mod Pack, but preferences can vary of course), to do some pretty awesome empire building. Rising from a single knight to controlling a small empire. It is a lot of fun. With Fire and Sword is much more linear, and is one of my biggest disappointments of 2011.

It is definitely worth $5, especially the extra campaigns in the two expansions included in this platinum package. But if money is tight and you want the most for this type of RPG, I would go with one of the $5 Bioware/Black Isle Studio/Troika RPGs currently on sale on GOG. Better value for your $5, if money is the issue that is. Otherwise, buy NWN2 Platinum.

I wouldn't feel obligated to, since there is already a lot of content in the base game. That said, it's only another $1.50. Not exactly breaking the bank.
Nah, 7 chances of winning nothing >>>> 1 useless coupon for a game you probably have already/is on sale atm. I'm not gonna risk being even more disappointed.
At least with the summer tickets I could choose what I wanted (even if most stuff was lame) and after you redeemed your tickets they still counted towards the raffle.

Holy freaking crap! I didn't knew you could win games. I thought it was just coupons and coal but I just won this:
WOHOO!
WOHOO!
Awesome.
For the group joining achievement I got Rome: Total War for free. So far I have won 2 games (The aforementioned and Killing Floor) and 3 lumps of coal. Not a bad good to coal ratio if I'm honest.
Edit: *looks up* BASTARD! Well done Metalmurphy!
Lucky bastards. I've got coupons coming out of my ears, all useless to me.
...
I got The Wonderful End of The World...
I mean, at least it's a game. And one I didn't have. But dang.
Holy freaking crap! I didn't knew you could win games. I thought it was just coupons and coal but I just won this:
WOHOO!

That's pretty great. I've won one 25% Valve coupon and four pieces of coal. Absolute trash.

I am so goddamn jealous right now. That is the one game I came into the Steam holiday sale wanting.

Holy crap... congrats!
I've got coal I could craft but I'm not sure I want to. (I enjoyed TWEOTW for what it was)
No. Play the original.

I've only gotten two achievements that have redeemed so far, and the second one just gave me Jurrasic Park, the full game. Not too shabby. I've heard there isn't much gameplay in this, but kinda wanted to try it anyway - was waiting for a cheap cheap sale sometime down the road. Not anymore! (That is unless someone wants to make me a good trade offer...hint..hint)

Think I'm gonna pick up Payday. Looks interesting.
Fun game. Make sure your PC is up to it though. It's a bit heavy on the requirements.

Dead community, for the most part.
Online community is deader than dead. But it's a great concept and a bit of a graphical powerhouse, so it's got that going for it, at least.
