I bought spelunky, guacamelee, hotline miami, etc all for PC and never played them, but loved them on vita. So, should I just wait for Shovel Knight's vita release?

I was gonna get FFXIII off the squareenix store but decided not to in the last minute.
Its the last day of the sale for the store but eh I'll wait for it - we still have a few more days left in the Steam sale so I might as well wait and see if I can get something I dont have already (already have XIII on PS3
).
Come on Prince of Persia n_n........or Crysis 1 Maximum Edition/Quake Collection lol.

I liked the first one.
Didnt like the 2nd one since it was more of a platformer/adventure rather than pure puzzle solving like the first one (although it did have puzzles and non-linear path).
I'll get back to it - I've heard good things about the 2nd game in its entirety - I only played a little bit of the 2nd one but the first one like I said is short and sweet.
Concidering how voting has gone revennyt I have some hope. It has had some buzz and no cheap sale
yes 30 bucks.
I went ahead and bought Gemini 2. I'm not able to instal it yet so I can't give impressions. The developer abandoned the first Gemini game during its early access development and angered a lot of people. Seems they are supporting and updating this. Looks like it has workshop support too.

I played it with KB and mouse and it was fine.

Is Dawn of War II Retribution sort of 'best of class' for the type of game it is? Is it a good entry point or can I get into the franchise just fine on a cheaper, older model?
I suppose only one person technically 'said it', but it was among many more posts knocking SR while praising the sequel so it felt like people were agreeing.

On Steam? Not once during the sale. On Green Man Gaming it's currently $30 but it was $20 yesterday and with the 20/22% off vouchers it was about $15. May show up in the last few days of the Holiday Sale, still.

Quit trying to make me feel bad for buying ShadowRun Returns for $1.50 earlier today.
If we are talking old school 2-d platformers then there are quite a few.

All of those games scratch the retro itch and more. Cave Story is great as well but everybody has that
Sell them. Or craft them and turn the bg and emoticons into gems.
Yes and no? Dawn of War II is very different from Dawn of War I, in that the sequel has no base building whatsoever, and the campaign plays kind of like squad-based Diablo x real-time strategy/tactics (it's awesome). If you want more traditional RTS stuff like base building and bigger unit counts, then you'll want Dawn of War I.
Now, is Retribution a good point for Dawn of War II? Well, again, yes and no. It has the most races (six altogether), but it has the blandest campaign. Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising have fewer races, but they have far more interesting campaigns. Chaos Rising's campaign is the best of the three by far.
That said, I don't think the deals are these games are particularly good. That's not to say they're not good value, but they're still somewhat pricey for how old they are (in Steam terms).
I hope that helps you or anybody else wondering about the Dawn of War games.

It's a daily, so it won't go any lower!
Contoller support was added much later.

No, I do not see any white pixel lines when playing in full screen.
If you don't buy a game as gift you would need to contact support and have your game turned into a gift code. Never done this myself.
Other than a brief mistake on a European game store this is the cheapest it's been as far as I'm aware.
GMG carriees it so it with coupon it could potentially go cheaper there, but this is the best you'll do on Steam itself.

Buy the goty. Don't even think about not getting all the dlc.
Ok thanks. Though since my post, since Isthereadeal says that it was 4.99 euro 16 months ago on steam and I have a big backlog, I am going to pass until its cheaper.

Well this is weird. Only get this issue with this game. Even resizing the screen from the Nvidia control panel still has the white pixel lines right on the top and left borders.

Perfect answer, thanks. Sounds like I'd love them all, but the kicker is what you said at the end, you're right, even on 'daily' the deal isn't that great. Hmmmm. I'll probably hold off. Maybe. Depends how many cards I sell before the deal is over, lol.
It really doesn't sound like you need to reinstall windows. Also, install something like AVG Free and it'll catch anything like that anyway.

A reminder the Hidden Deals thread for the sale is now live.
Been up for about 24 hours and been substantially updated, going to take a break to go out to dinner, but some very good deals already listed in there.

Old World Blues for sure. The others are good too but OWB is the GOAT of Fallout DLC.
I guess you don't have Enhanced Steam installed. Go do that and look it up on the store page.

I doubt I'll ever forgive the internet for picking Super Time Force over Abyss Odyssey. I wanted to save an extra $2.50!

Thanks for the help folks. I'm going to go ahead and buy the Gold edition.
You could try the demo for each game as you wait for a daily.

Hmm, turns out it was due to driver AA. Weird.
Yeah, I imagine the featured deals (48-hour Dailies, 24-hour Dailies and Community's Choice candidates) have been set in stone for some time now.

Not sure if it counts, but Freedom Planet is 50% off right now ($8.50 CAD). It's more like Sonic and Ristar than Megaman, and the production values are closer to the Sega CD/Saturn era, but it's very cool 2D old-school action platforming.
