40$ steam giftcard with purchase!

Coincidentally, the death adder is the only razer product I can recommend with a straight face.
It is their only mouse with a decent sensor that isn't designed for failure. That Razer build quality and that price though.

My friend has been asking for Transformers everyday. It's Activision though... what are the chances of a good cut?

If you played and enjoyed Aria or Dawn of Sorrow and want a much lighter version of that with procedurally generated castle layouts and character classes, I'd say it's well worth your while.

Also new thread, woo!

I'm alright with Shelter winning. At least it isn't in a bundle right now, unlike Hacker Evolution. Seemed to be a real tight vote too.

There's actually a demo available on roguelegacy.com , I'm not sure if it's been updated since the game launched but it convinced me to preorder the game after I played the demo for a few hours. Assuming it's the same, it's the first area of the game with an increased rate of progression but most skills and upgrades locked away. Gives a nice idea of what the game is about.

Personally I really enjoyed it. There are issues, and it certainly can get grindy, and you have to be okay with the idea that you'll die a lot and play a decent amount without making noticeable progress. I've had it since it came out and have beaten New Game ++ mode and played 21 hours. Certainly worth a look at the demo at least to see if it's your kind of thing.

Yeah it's pretty awful the way the voting has been handled. The steam crowd is not proving they're smarter on average than the console crowd here.

I'm guessing some people don't think to click through and check first, though it's still frustrating and implies an unwillingness to go search on what the game even is, how big the new discount really will be, etc. At least this is a significant discount rather than WOW A DIME (no wait we change the price so it's not as much bullshit when it wins but it still kind of is)!

Hahah my votes never win. Another close defeat. Wanted Sherlock. Hopefully it comes up later as a flash deal or daily.

I put almost 30 hours into the game, it is that good!

Well, in this case, the cheapest game lost.

Hacker would have been 1.5e if it had won.

Steam sales bring in the lowest common denominator like flies to the next-gen console flame.

Voting system needs to be reworked completely.

To be fair, this vote was essentially a 3 way tie, with 33%, 33%, and Shelter barely won at 34%.

Huh? Hacker Evolution had both the biggest discount and was the cheapest game and it didn't win.

People voted for Shelter because it actually seems interesting.

To be fair both of those are in early beta, both of those have sold insane amounts at full price and both of those came out this month :p

They were just released within the last couple of weeks.
Both are alpha products.
They are selling like crazy even without discounts.

The important thing to remember here is both games are still very early. They don't want a flood of new owners making a quick purchase on something theybdont understand. You would be surprised how many people purchase these games without the knowledge of what early access actually means.
