Well into Day 7 now and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's Rhode Island Committee is still being a bitch.
No it's not. I mean gog sale expenses are stopping me from going wild in this steam sale. I already spent more than planned.

OK GAF, my bank account is finally out of the red, which means I can spend a bit on the sale.
What should I get that's the best value for my money?
edit: so far I've won English Country Tune, and bought FTL when it was 2.50

Puzzle Quest
no, I'm not kidding. Had it on 3 platforms, spent at least 100 hours playing it.

Ah right, gotcha. I only got Dyad in the GOG sales.
Man, I think I've been on a 4X kick recently. Got fallen enchantress and endless space so far. Might go for Civ V brave new world next.
Also seems like the trick to trading cards is to sell them for 10 cents. Can't complain seeing that it's basically free money.
How do you feel about Dark Souls?

There's also this guide for modding System Shock 2. This is the one I followed.

Edit: Most of the same mods by the looks of it just a couple less.

Only thing that is crap there is the DRM.
Also mind you, it's a trade/economics sim.

I think there's a way to make it run on Windows 7, I found a page where they tested the game on Windows 7 x64, I have the same problem with a boxed copy of Sonic CD, it only runs on Windows 95, thanks god they re-released it

4X is all about Sword of the Stars.

It's not looking good, is it? I guess we'll be chasing this particular unicorn for a fair while longer, sadly.
It's the first thing I check for when the sale day ticks over. Bummer.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I've heard a lot about it, but it looks like a regular match 3 puzzler, is there something else that makes it great or is it just super addictive?
It's not available in my region, but it sounds like something I'd enjoy as I played Monster Hunter on Wii. Also, I think I'd need to demo it first to make sure it runs on my laptop. I guess it wasn't a very efficient port because I know the requirements are rather high..
Never played it. I remember not liking Civilization 2, but that was years ago when I was a dumb kid. Is there a demo?

God man, it's not the money I'm worried about when it comes to 4X, it's the time. Can't justify another one.
Fantastic, many thx

How well anyone who has played a 4X game will know that feeling. Hours and hours and days poured into just one match with a small universe. It's insane, and literally too crazy even for me. I love 4X, but I also can't commit that kind of time and dedication. I'd also like a 4X that's real-time and not turn-based. It gets very tiring waiting for someone else to end their turn and annoying when you want to rush yourself to not be rude. And how the hell can you rush yourself in a game that has a bajillion options for micromanagement?! I don't know, man, it's just nuts. 4X games are nuts.
Those expecting this to be discounted at some point during the sale are just setting themselves up for disappointment.
It's on Steam?
I'd like to revisit that game but I can be bothered to load up Origin and I recall that was the only option at launch.
There's a demo for Civ V and all of it's expansions. It's pretty gud

Grabbed Fez with just over 1 minute to spare! I hope it was a good choice.

I played the demo before jumping on Civ 5 Gold.

The game is (well, was) self-published by 38 Studios, but the company was liquidated a year ago as it owed around $100m to the state of Rhode Island, so now said state owns the IP. This means that KoA's Steam release is now handled entirely by those close to the situation, and while the game went on sale back in March, there's apparently no interest in partaking in the Summer Sale.
It's RPG too, it's deep, strategic and fun, one of the best Puzzle games of all times (Challenge of Warlords). On top of that it looks great. It has mounts, castle building, equipment, classes, awesome spells. This game can't be praised enough.
How can anybody not like Civ2? Not possible! Don't know about demo, don't need for Civs, buy them all and play them all.

That's what makes them fun though.
Also, is there a list on every game with a steam card deck? I'm now strangely fascinated by this.
Uh, yeah, sure. I mean, it wasn't terrible? Don't expect Oblivion... or even Morrowind, anyway.

Everyone vote Risen 2, Crusader Kings II is brilliant but it had its time. Expeditions looks interesting though, anyone played it?

I missed out on 75% off hopefully they do it again this week.
Risen 2, Crusader Kings 2 and Expeditions Conquistador all 75% off on community vote. Going to have to vote for Crusader Kings.

Already own CK2. Voted for Risen 2.
If you click on the magnifying glass to search and then hit advanced search there should be a drop down list there somewhere that say Steam Trading Cards.
That expeditions game looks quite interesting; think I'll waste my vote on that (it'll never beat CK2 or Risen2).
the best part of waking up, is repeats on my steam
