EYE went back up to the regular 5$? Are those unadvertised daily's mistakes or made on purpose to grab them while you can?

So Divinity 2 and Skydrift, still haven't bought them, haven't seen much in opinions on them in this thread. What do gaffers think?

Any recommendations on Divinity II or Silent Hill Homecoming? Divinity anything like Demon's/Dark Souls? Never played a SH game before.

Suffered through the rise of immortal achievement...another hunk of coal. I think everyone who did that achievement should get every game on steam

Rage was a daily yesterday

I'm not so sure it was. They pulled the price pretty fast and it's still at the price they changed it to now. I have the feeling it was an accident and it'll be a daily later on in the sale.

Oops. My Amiga nostalgia triumphs over common-sense once again.
They're not that bad. Alien Swarm's more fun, but after playing a bit of the 2nd game I'll probably grab the 1st and 3rd.

I just wish they'd do something with Alien Swarm! Take my money Valve!

I'm hoping for Dragon Age Origins as a daily. My brother absolutely loved that game (he basically marathoned it) and we have similar tastes, so I expect to enjoy it a lot.

Ok, think I'm going to wait on Divinity II till it hits the $5-$7.50 range and yes I kno its $8 on Amazon but for some strange reason I want the steam armor.
 
Is Limbo worth $2.50 and is Bastion worth $10? Please give your honest opinions and not just a YES, DO IT answer. I don't want these things to get backlogged.

Both are amazing games and two of my favorite games I played this year. Both have incredible atmospheres. Neither is very long, especially Limbo, but both are very enjoyable and well worth the money.

for $2.50 limbo is worth it. it's a quick game but it's really a trial and error game. if you liked stuff like Another World then you'll like this game. the graphics are really cool and you don't have a lot to lose for $2.50.

bastion i bought on 360 and i liked it but i don't know if i would pay $10 for it. i think it's worth $5. there are a lot of cool ideas and weapons but i just got tired of the game after about an hour or two. i did beat the game but it gets repetitive

Bastion is a great game has a perfect mix of visuals gameplay and music but personally i wouldn't pay 10 bucks for it it'll go on sale trust me

The 1st steam achievement (inventory) gives 2 gifts, one being a valve coupon.

You got one in your inventory by default. Checking your inventory for the first time unlocked an achievement, which gave you another one. So that first achievement was basically worth 2.

Checking your inventory gave you two. Or you get one for nothing but when you check your inventory you get another.

If a prize appears in your inventory and nobody is there to see it...

So I think I screwed up something with Toki Tori. I went to load up the save game and it hangs while trying to start up. I tried deleting the game and reinstalling but that didn't fix it. What should I be doing?

I bought a copy of the E.Y.E four pack and I've got two copies left if anybody is interested.

Only really looking to get back my money, so around $1.90US.

EDIT - Both copies gone.

Has anyone won a particularly impressive game as a Steam holiday gift yet? I see people winning a lot of Valve titles and indie titles, but nothing really big. Are there new(ish) retail games being won?
