For the new page. Just need two people to jump in as my Housemate and I are taking one each.

If it makes you feel any better, I bought like a third of that list at full price.
I prefer The Witcher to the sequel. It's a significantly bigger game (some may say it has too much fat, but I loved every minute of it), plus collecting the sex cards was a game in itself (bring them back, CDPR).

For those who want to destroy the remaining parts of their wallets, follow these easy steps:
1. Click on the search button on Steams front store page, so you get everything in the store in one list.
2. Filter items on games only, so you get rid of all the DLC.
3. Sort the list based on price.
4. Follow the list until you reach the first one that costs more than £4/4 or something like that.
5. Cry a bit and start making a backlog list.

I'm kind of interested in the Witcher: Enhanced Edition. I'm not sure if I'd actually play it or not.
Played it some time ago and really liked it. I think most of the negativity it got from reviews was because of the horrible performance on xbox, not the actual game itself.
Just for comparison, this is how it looks maxed out on pc (locked 60fps.)

Noticed that the Penumbra series is 75% off. What does GAF think about this deal?

Sadly, after looking at how Krater actually plays, I think I've completely lost interest. I'm a bit bummed out since it was super appealing to me on paper.
You're in the wrong place if you have to ask that. Heh.

Man, that hurts. I really wanted to make this game Steam if possible
So how long does the sale of SS4AE in Amazon anyway? What's the difference between non Steam version and Steam version? Sorry for the noob question.
I had intended to, on the final day of the sale, purchase all of the -75% games I don't yet own, but my headphones deciding to break has put a bit of a damper on that.
Jesus, can some of you guys cover my medical bills? Or my gaming needs? Or something?
I feel like I get away with little damage during these sales simply out of fear since I can only get a few of the big games a year, but this is also the time where I can get games I normally wouldn't for a fraction of the cost. It's conflicting, but at least I got a few great things out of it...lol
I actually have a backlog for the first time ever in my life so this is a weird feeling.
It's a lot more linear and not nearly as good as the Guerrilla. The destruction is there but the structures aren't as large and it's limited due to being underground. Sure, there are some great examples of destruction still, but they took away what made Guerrilla such an awesome game.

It's a great bit of light reading, chronicling the development of the game from its earliest stages all the way to its final shipping form. If you find that you enjoyed the glimpse into Valve's rather unique culture, consider also reading the Valve Handbook.
It does have the same destroyable environment. But the game has become linear with destruction.
Depends, if you really want to see the behind the scenes, and understand how they made it and what it took to release, get it.
NOTE: I own this so I'm speaking from what I know.

Purchases so far:
Beyond Good and Evil - $2.49
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall - $6.24
Dear Esther - $2.49
Mirror's Edge - $4.99
Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition - $4.99
F.E.A.R.: Ultimate Shooter Edition - $2.49
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - $7.49
The Walking Dead - $14.99
Qube - $3.74
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - $2.49
Trine 2 - $3.74
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Standard Edition - $7.49
Legend of Grimrock - $5.99
Hard Reset: Extended edition - $3.74
Total: $73.36
I'd say I've done a good job resisting picking up games I know I won't get around to playing until winter even if I may have crumbled a couple times.
Already working my way through Trine 2 and it's been great fun. I ended up playing the first half of Hard Reset ~3 times and got fed up with it. I may come back to it in a while but the game crashing on me and corrupting my saves combined with a couple of bad AI sections left me with bit of a bad taste considering I started out loving it. Also managed to finish the first episode of TWD and it was enjoyable. I'm looking forward to going through the second episode soon.

The shooting is better in Armageddon, but it's essentially a completely different game. It's hard to compare the two. It's closer to Rage, Lost Planet, Serious Sam or Hard Reset than RF: G. I personally enjoyed it but I like linear shooters.Jesus, can some of you guys cover my medical bills? Or my gaming needs? Or something?

No "2" in L4D. "e" in "Edition" isn't capitalized. Falghana instead of Felghana. Forgot the "e" in Noire. </3 </3 </3

Armageddon is pretty fun. I like the destructive/rebuild elements of the game. Ran pretty well on an older machine of mine, too. Unfortunately, that's all I really remember about it, was that it was "pretty fun."

So I wake up just now and see that Xelios has sent me a gift copy of Gal Civ 2 which I've had on my wishlist forever. Thanks a lot man, you are awesome!
Nope. I've had it on my wishlist and I've checked my wishlist regularly throughout the sales.
