Fear.
Like someone else suggested, buy the base and a gift copy of the expansion. The expansion makes the game more difficult so it's a good idea to get use to the mechanics and unlock some good items with just the base game first.
Either way, the expansion is more than worth $0.75.
It's getting Steamworks support in a patch.
I know how you feel.
I bought Witcher 2 yesterday for $24 only to find out I have to run it in minimum specs, 1240x768, and texture downscaling just to get a playable framerate. I has a sad. Well optimized game my ass.
Grab Wrath of the lamb. Really worth the tiny price, adds tons of funny stuff.
Half life source? Which bundle does contain it?

No multiplayer of any kind.
At launch it didn't support 1080p. I was really looking forward to playing Toy Soldiers with a decent framerate but that was a colossal fuckup that, to my knowledge, they still haven't patched. So I was kind of boycotting.
But for 2 bucks 50 I might break the wall of solidarity and just play it on my CRT.
Your math failed, my man.
Basically.
They last for 12 more hours, iirc.
It's a fun tower defense game with some direct control of the units. Not all that much like Battalion Wars, but I think the Cold War sequel's a little closer to that, with hero units that you control? Something like that. At $2.49 I grabbed it
edit: Oshit, GFWL
Still, $2.49.Wolf Dawgz

can you redeem Metro 2033 on steam when you get it from GMG?
Metro 2033 uses Steamworks. And it should say on the store page on GMG, at least.

But you're due for a hit!
I blame reddit :/
Yes. They're just selling you the CD KEY.
Any opinions on the ACR DLC? I never got around to actually playing the game itself on the PS3 because I felt it ran the system way too hot and it's just $3 to tack it all on with the Gold Edition.
edit: I guess not. Probably not going to have enough time to play multiplayer on top of everything with GW2 next month and the rest of the sale still to come.

No, because we will get it cheaper on Steam with the flash deal discount.

The sad thing is I remember the expansions being shat on by a lot of people because they weren't from the original team and just weren't as good as FEAR. Now if the expansions are actually better than the 2 other sequals...
Think I'll just stick with my unblemished DVD copy of FEAR 1 for while yet longer.

That's $2.69 too much. And Metro is already only $5 on GMG also.
^ http://store.steampowered.com/sub/38/ $2.50
Also, voted F.E.A.R. 3 in the hopes they also apply the discount to the older ones.
This is the first time I posted in the Steam Summer sale thread, I didn't now most of the discussion would be on which game should be discounted next/game questions. I also thought that was a genuinely great deal, it was a 30% to 50% discount.

May the Schwartz be with you
Finally bought Half Life 1 ...in 2012
it's cheaper if it wins on Steam, but Metro is the same price

How's ACR on PC compared to PS3 ? I played all AC games on PS3 but now I have a PC and the game really looks gorgeous on the PC... how does it play ? Xbox controller requiered right ?
Played without a controller, the KB+M works fine. Also came from the PS3, really solid ports if your PC can handle it.
It would be $2.69 cheaper on Steam. There are better deals for the other 2, but all 3 sales suck.
Just needed a push. Thanks!
Not sure if these two things have been brought up yet:
1) Toy Soldiers is getting Steamworks support: https://twitter.com/Signal_Studios/status/223526053837160448
First game to do that (ask if you want Steam or GFWL), I think.
2) Half-Life Source is not worth getting. It looks almost the same except for better water, or something like that. Also, as far as I know, it's not compatible with GoldSRC mods, like Sven Co-op and so on. Unless I'm mistaken, there's pretty much no reason to buy it.

Who cares about other places really, Metro is the best game and deserves the money the mostest.

Nothing beats the daily deals. Nothing.
