I really wanted to buy Galactic Civilizations 2 but I think I'm going to have to pass. I've had it in my wishlist and deliberated over buying it at $9.99, but I promised I'd buy my housemate some games first: Alan Wake Franchise, Dead Island, Krater and Stalker Collection. Probably my final purchases...
Unless someone wants to trade a copy of Galactic Civilizations 2 for Frozen Synapse? It's only the standard edition unfortunately with no DLC. Sorry. :/
Which is the better buy
BG&E or the Witcher?
Hah that guy has great reactions. That definitely isn't a game I'm interested in but I would watch someone else play it.
If you can read this, you hink tollarnots gift
Stimi them, kakhtni word of mouse (Bi EM ere me)
Sometimes the translations don't work both ways.

What the fuck is a fish doing in a fucking barrel?
Post the translation already guys. Why's it taking so long?
Ha, yea, I got something similar, had no idea what the mouse part was, assumed it was an error (guess it wasn't).
It does. I don't want to be tortured when I play a game.
Got the exact same thing. I sent it in a PM a while back and have been trying to perfect it...
Arma 2 sale isn't happening is it? The game is still at the top of the list at 20% off and we have yet to see a community vote, daily deal or flash sale. I don't blame them, why would you put the game on sale when people are buying it in truckloads at full price and close to it?
Amnesia kind of remind me of Myst but with more horror elements. That Alan Wake deal is good and already have Witcher. Gonna pull the trigger on Alan Wake. Just don't want to be disappointed.People, buy Amnesia if you don't have it already, it's a great horror game, if a little too intense at times.
Alan Wake with American Nightmare at $9.99 is a steal, and really good.
And if you can't afford any of the above just buy The Witcher, I absolutely loved it, and will play through it again if I find the time, at 2.49 it's an absolute steal, even at the full price of $9.99 it's a steal.
Wow. That's that Reboot symbol. Was the show that ugly? I don't recall it being THAT ugly.
Anyone have any hidden gems, they think should absolutely be bought?
EDIT: Wondering if there's any good horror games especially. Though i probably have most already =S.
Would be least interested in point and click adventures. But if you think it's an awesome game, recommend anyway. I sometimes hot seat the genre with friends. Had a blast completing the Puzzle Agent games with a pair of friends.
Oh, didn't see this thread. Might as well post this here, too...
Here's a quick recommendation for one of those "hidden" cheap and lesser known games:
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/105700/
A fun and irresistably cute (seriously, the pixel art is just gosh darn adorable) little treasure hunting platformer with a neat premise and some pretty damn clever level design. You descend down a cave while collecting various treasure in the form of coins and little treasure chests and you'll be rescuing tiny pixel animals as well. Once you reach the bottom of the cave a big chest will be waiting for you. Unlock it and the cave starts to crumble. Now you need to be quick and escape the cave before the timer runs out. With everything falling apart, some blocks and walls have now disappeared, changing the level design ever so slightly and opening up shortcuts and new paths to previously unreachable treasure. So even on the way back up you will have to keep an eye out for collectibles. But thankfully you can plan for this during your descent.
It's a cool idea that works surprisingly well. It strikes a great balance between careful exploration and frantic platforming. It's fun to explore each cave first and find all or most of the collectibles without being pressured by a timer, and then finally having to speed-run the hell out of there once you've reached the very bottom.
Collected treasure and rescued animals unlock health, extra lives and gadget upgrades (the latter are rarely used to begin with). The game has two separate story modes for the two main characters plus a co-op mode. It also has native controller support.
I have only played up to the last world of Tobe's campaign so far. It doesn't seem to be a very long game, that's for sure. I suspect you can play through both stories in about 3 to 4 hours total. No complaints here though, especially at the current price point. I'm not sure if the co-op mode is an entirely separate campaign.
The game's two major flaws are the somewhat stubborn and difficult to master controls and the all too frequent physics and collision glitches. The good news is that you'll eventually at least get used to the former.
Summer Sale Price:
Europe: 1,12
US: $1.24
Not horror, but I saw this in the Steam Sale Review thread and I'm thinking about picking it up now.
Are there any graphics mods for New Vegas that makes the game look not so brown? The color palette is the only thing stopping me from re-buying it.

I prefer Civ4, but it's among the best.GalCivII is the best 4X right?
Is Divine Divinity on Steam now??!Still holding out hope that maybe Divine Divinity gets a boost to sales in a flash sale, or maybe a vote. With an older game like TLJ showing up, who knows!
I mean yeah, it's only 4 bucks right now, but if I can save a buck or so, that aint bad. the earlier praise has made me really want to play it.

Boo, what is this shit, to play GalCiv you're forced to create a Stardock account?
When did this happen? Has it always been on Steam and I just missed it or something?
I absolutely love the video they have for it, on the store page.
Had this game randomly gifted to me by a friend, just the other day. Is it good stuff?

Toss-up between GalCivII and CivIV: BtS imho
Both are fantastic.
