Think I'll grab "How to Survive - Storm Warning Edition", it's £1.49 with all DLC and I liked the look of it when it first came out.

I'm on the fence and when the first three reviews on the store page are negative because of bugs and being forced to being always online it's kind of hard to feel compelled to buy it. Are those exaggerated issues or is it something that has been fixed by now?
I have no idea what those are even talking about. I played through the entire game (that's 70+ hours mind you) without experiencing any issues.

There were some progress breaking bugs that were fixed, a few of them were due to people pre release saves fucking up with the full game, others due to doing things way out of order. Pretty sure the first patch fixed those though, and a lot of people never encountered any of these issues.
I don't know about always online though, maybe, it's a Uplay game so there's that.
It was certainly a lot of fun and if you like dungeon crawlers I'd say you're missing out if you haven't played this. Grimrock 2 is also good though.

The Beyond Good & Evil port is abysmal. No controller support and the m+kb is extremely clunky.

Starting to be depressed that I see the "In Your Library" on nearly everything.

Then I say go for it!
You'd be supporting the game even with a few dollars
The game is my GotY contender and is really fun, if you don't care for story, play Classic mode which skips cutscenes and have a blast.

I prefer the original X-Com to the remake. Will I like Xenonauts?
I think so, yes. It's very much like a modern version of the original game.

Is it a good idea to pick up Borderlands 2 if my intention is to play it solo? It sounds like it would be a decent mindless 'podcast-listening' game, and I've never played a borderlands game before.

Gimme something I can buy today, Gabe.
I wouldn't recommend playing it solo, and listening to the dialogue is half of the fun in the game.
I've played it from beginning to end solo & thoroughly enjoyed it enough to buy most of the DLC. Plenty of folk might say otherwise, but don't listen to them
I've played both games from start to finish solo and enjoyed the experience. If you like games where you get a lot of loot, and you're a fan of FPS, I think you'd like it.

Do you like colorful 2D sprites with well done animation?
Do you like Match 3 and/or RPG elements?
Then give M&M: Clash of Heroes a try, the most underrated of Ubi's library of games

Thanks for the input people, I think I'll give it a try.

I tried that last winter sale, but gave up after 8h. It just felt too unfair, slow (bullet sponge enemies) and repetitive playing it singleplayer.

Yea, I think on each card it says "Valid until 1/2/2015".
If you've played other AC games, but not the first, be prepared for lack of activities to do and repetitiveness in how the assassinations are prepared before you can attempt them.
I like AC 1, and have completed it several times, but there's a reason AC 2 is considered by many to be the best of the franchise, and a lot of the changes stemmed from complaints about the first game.
Boogalogist

Awesome! Thanks. Pulling out my credit card now...
I bought the second game as a starting point in the past but I haven't played yet. And since it was cheap thought of maybe starting from AC1 DC instead. So I guess no buy.
The only reason I replay AC1 anymore is for the actual assassination missions, because I think those were handled better than in the later games as they're a bit more open and you can approach from multiple angles.
But the stuff leading up to them are basically the same each time (Tail a person for information, pick pocket someone for information, ect) You don't have to do them all, but you get more information about the target and can plan accordingly.
Since you bought 2 already, I'd say pass unless you really want to experience Altair's story first hand and just start playing 2 since it gives a recap.
Since the 2 gives a recap and is better I will skip the first and buy brotherhood instead.

I'm disappointed that sale discounts don't stack with existing discounts. For example, Metro 2033 Redux is normally 50% off since I own the original, which is the same as the sale price. Not exactly convincing me to grab it if I didn't already do it before.
I'm not sure if Valve fixed it, but previously games like this would be more expensive during sales. Deus Ex:HR Director's Cut was normally $5 off sale since I got the discount for owning the game+DLC, but on sale it was $10. Go figure.

Well, just bought my first game this sale.
How To Survive - Storm Warning Edition
It interested me the last sale, and at 90%, only being in the $1 tier of an indie bundle would be cheaper. I'm willing to take that risk, and no regrets if it does show up there. Anyways, I'll probably pick up the Deus Ex Complete bundle from GMG, too.

That was preorder only.
Many times these deals tend to go over 100% (because it's adding discount together ie. 50% + 50% = 100% instead of 75%.) and gets disabled during sale.
New discounts also tends to be temporary instead of permanent.
There's couple of stackers:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/315340/ is 83% if you own regular Ares, instead of 33%.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/260790/ is 66% if you own Cavestory+ / Nighsky instead of 33%
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/239430/ is 110% (unpurchaseable) if you own regular QUBE.)

metal slug x and metal slug 3!
King of fighters 98 um too which should come with og kof 98.
+Gangbeasts
Definitely add Lethal League
Good move. AC2 and Brotherhood have been my favorites of the series thus far.
How is AC3? I was tempted on getting that or Revelations, as they are the only ones I'm missing aside from Unity.

AC3 is an abomination, worst one in the series by far.
