Hated Fallout 3, loved New Vegas.
The quality of the writing is so beyond what Bethesda managed it's absurd.. And there's a lot more you can do to resolve quests in different ways based on the way you allocate your points. Great game.

Hated Fallout 3, loved New Vegas.

Rogue Legacy and Monaco have already had great sales, and are worth playing.
Recettear is good.
Replace Divekick with a good game.

Knowing EA, that would be a full $60, and even then it probably wouldn't include everything.
I normally would have jumped on the ME2 deal, but the fact that (a) ME3 is only on Origin, (b) none of the DLC is discounted at all, and (c) the ME Trilogy that was sold on Amazon is missing the majority of ME2 and 3's DLC, has put me right off of it.

People called Romanes they go the house?
I really liked all of the DLC, but you don't necessarily need all of them.
Of them all, Old World Blues is the best 'open world'-esque DLC (with the caveat of being purposefully insanely campy) , while like Derrick said, Lonesome Road is more story-driven, and ties into the story of the player's past, but is more linear.
Dead Money is polarizing because it strips you all of your weapons, armor, stimpacks, etc.. and you don't find anything of equivalent value for the first few hours. If you don't like scrounging, it's not for you.
Honest Hearts was the most blah out of all the DLC, the verticality of the steppes doesn't mix well with gamebryo's engine, and the story didn't pull me in at all.
Technically, all of the 3 prior DLCs have tie-ins to what happens in Lonesome Road, though.
Yeah, same. I was even tempted by the origin deal, but saw just how much DLC was missing. It's absurd.

It's not MUCH of a looker, but certainly more so than the first game.

What's The Swapper about?
Blood Knights, according to a gaffer the other day, you spend the whole game hitting on your sister aparently

Absolutely this. It may seem hypocritical after plunking down 60 bucks for Gran Turismo 6, but I can wait to pick this up for 19.99...or an inevitable lower price. Especially for an early access game.

Picked up Risk of Rain, it was a game I completely forgot about after voting for it on Greenlight (like most of the stuff I voted on). Saw the Giantbomb quicklook not too long ago and it definitely sold me, just had to wait to get enough card money for it.

NV Ultimate on PC has Honest Hearts, Dead Money, etc.? Because those aren't on Steam obviously

I may plunge on Monaco, i've wanted it for a quite a while, and i worry it won't be back on sale again before i leave on Tuesday for a week-long vacation, where i'm liable to forget the sale is happening.

Then definitely get NV, like I said before it's my Game of the Generation. It went down a deep dark hole with that game, and I didn't crawl out until I put nearly 300 hundred hours into it.
I would buy it if it was 50%, sorry
It's not far off 50% if you get the 4-pack.
Claymation-looking, space caves, clone yourself with a clone gun to solve puzzles, indie darling platformer.
It apparently has a crazy plot twist ending.
Screams humble bundle material to me, imo.

can you say a little more about what makes this so good, or how it differs from/surpasses spelunky/nuclear throne/rogue legacy/teleglitch
I bought Rogue Legacy for $5, and I am enjoying it very much. The default keyboard controls are a bit janky, but if you use wasd+space for moving and the numpad for attacking the game will work well.
I would avoid buying Divekick unless you are playing co-op with friends. It's not a very deep game, but it may be fine to play 20 or 30 minutes with a friend.

I'm hoping RPG Maker VX pops up as a flash sale at least one more time before the sale ends. I was back and forth on buying it when it was up as a daily deal, and now I regret not doing so.
It's certainly the best RM yet. Only problem is, IT ONLY SUPPORTS 480P
I didn't know that until I had purchased it and started MY project on it. I was pretty pissed.

Indeed. Metro LL and Alan Wake are the only ones that look good in terms of deals. However, I may wait for the Amazon EC sale to pick up the former if the deal is good enough.
Bought!
Good man.

All of the DLC is on Steam. The UE version contains all of the DLC too.

Divekick is only on there is if goes on sale. I dig the game and the devs enough to throw them 3 bucks for it.

Seems so but I'd need to set up a US account with US billing info in order to buy it. So unfortunately that's basically just as useless. :/
Thanks. I do want to bite. I wish that Steam put the DLC at 75% off as well.

The design is just spot on, timed without a feeling of being rushed, you actually want to play the game without forcing yourself, more and more enemies on screen, fill up the screens with power ups, music and stages get better and better as you go on, the aesthetic looks amazing once it starts flowing, a ton of classes, no stupid grinding like RL just play the game, deep action based rogue like, etc etc etc etc... awesome game.
Does it still have the same dumb ass fighting mechanic? Id like to make a hack and slash game with it.. but ive never seen it done without some serious coding.

Glad that LLtQ got a flash sale. ...bummed I missed picking it up. Oh well, will wait for 75% off I guess!

Might like it if you... :
Killing Floor (If you have friends that are playing with you)
Awesomenauts (if you like 2D Mobas)
Outlast (If you just ignore the tedious gameplay.)
Gone Home (You pay for an hour game that is all about exploring a boring house and reading notes. And the "story" isnt something special. But others will say to you that its the greatest "game" ever made. If you are into experiences then its something for you. If you want a game then not.)
Dont buy: Dungeon Hearts
Hah, I got the same one. I have no idea what it is.
Err...thanks?
Oh. that's his sister? I thought it was his

Game's supposed to be awful anyway, isn't it?

It's a 2D puzzle game, a bit like Braid meets Portal. If you like that kind of puzzle game definitely get it. Personally I think it's almost as good as those two. Super polished game, fantastic puzzle design, great artstyle and atmosphere plus a fairly interesting story. It looks like how you'd want a new 2D Metroid to look and has a similar atmosphere.

I played years 1-4. I enjoyed it a lot. It's a good tight experience, doesn't take too long to get 100%, and it gets the Harry Potter "feel" down cold. I didn't get the other one because after seeing the fifth movie I was done with the series.
