Revenge of the Titans or Dungeon Defenders any good?
RotT looks better in videos than in screenshots. I already picked up three tower defense games during this sale though.
Dungeon Defenders... well, I downloaded a demo but the game refuses to launch unless I install some weird AMD CPU driver thing, I'm on Intel.
Underworld is definitely the most pretty of the three, and also the one with the most amount of glitches.

Yes. It's sort of a sequel to both Anniversary and Legend though so you might want to play those first, though Underworld does come with some "Previously on Tomb Raider" videos.

Nice, I won The Ball. A big improvement from Bad Rats.
Damn, well, Steam hasn't made its rounds yet, so hopefully they will be $10 a pop (or less...?) when they show up in the daily deals.

Serious Sam 3 is seriously good. Anyone into old-school style fps should buy it at that price.
I'm disappointed that Clash of Heroes has not been featured in a daily yet. That is the last game that I really hoped to pick up during the sale.
I am sitting at around $40 so far for the sale. I had set a limit of $50 for myself, and considering that there are only 3 more sets of dailies (assuming the Jan 1st is a best of version), I should be able to keep under my limit. Game of Thrones (on Amazon) for $10 and Sonic Generations for $10 were my two impulse buys of the year.

This! OMG THIS! WTB THIS ON DAILY DEAL ASAP!!
Ah yes, thank you.
Got SS3 from getgames. Only thing left I want to buy is Lego Indiana Jones. It's been a good haul.
Go into the trading thread to get something you want. I traded Orange Box and CS:S for Two Worlds 2 and couldn't be happier.

Golden Axe is awesome.
Yeah, CoH is probably my most wanted sale right now. I've been wanting to play that game since it came out for the DS, but I keep putting it off. Ubisoft need to stop being dicks and finally put it on sale.

If I had to choose one: Solar 2 or SPAZ? And why?

Thing is it's on sale right now which means they are down with a sale price, and that gives us a chance at a daily. It just might not have come up yet.
Here's to hoping anyways!!
Well Amazons been kicking Steam's ass for most deals and they're both $50 normally. Biggest discount you'll see is 75% off.
Saaaweet, I've been waiting for that to pop up. Definitely going to get that when I get home. Ignore the naysayers about Dungeon Defenders. I'm loving that game and have almost 150hrs in it. Sure there's some late game balance issues (needs far too much grinding) but the variety of challenges, free holiday maps, diablo type loot system with leveling really made the game for me. Every once in a while i'd hit a wall, but by changing my strategy and trying different characters I've always been able to push through. Almost got all the charcters leveled up now.
Really, where? Civ 5 GOTY has been $16 for multiple days for me and Dead Island is coming up as $26. Do I need some kind of super secret code?
I got that same gift and was fucking stoked.
Golden Axe II is strictly superior to the original, so it's even more perfect.
Better than my 50% off Hydrophobia coupon.
Finally got to get the site to work and purchased Serious Sam 3 for 11.99! Thank you for the heads up! I've wanted this game for a long time and now finally at a price I could afford (although even at full price it seemed pretty reasonable)

Does anybody know this? I have been killing patrols for the past hour and nothing.
Also does anybody want to trade me might and magic clash of heroes for codemasters racing pack?
Ah well maybe Dead Island will be included in the 'best selling 2011 games' Amazon is doing in January, I have a few $5 credits from other purchases this holiday sale I would be able to use.
Seriously I'll be all over it if its $3.75 or less.
Thanks again for helping a Brit-gaffer out! Picked up Homefront.

SPAZ is more of a game then Solar 2. Upgrades for your ship, lots of missions etc etc. Top down space exploration-
Solar 2 is more more zen like, start as a small planet, pick up smaller rocks, grow, become a star. Keeps going until you're a black hole or similar heavy stellar objects. Have some missions too but not as much.

My recommendation, BUY BOTH.

Can't. Buy anything else.
Must stay strong.
28 Winter Acheevs is enough.

You just have to check their site and the Amazon Digital Deals thread on GAF for deals like those. They were also mentioned here in this thread numerous times. Sorry you missed them.

The description for Two Worlds II is so geeky it almost makes me not want to unpack the game.
"A breathtaking journey into Antaloor's past. After the downfall of Aziraal, God of Fire, the Dark Lord Gandohar has nearly achieved his objective to disrupt the balance between the elements. Dark magic surges into the land to fill the void."

It's good
