Sonic Generations at $10 seems awesome. It will work well with a PS3 controller hooked up via MotionJoy right?

I would say there are a few pretty creepy moments, but as others have said there arent really any "jump scares.". There places wheee you will be like "oh shit run, run run" but run is sometimes a strategy you need to employ to get to the safe space in the lught. Overall, it is defintely more of an action game than a traditional survival horror.
If you are really worried, play it on easy and enjoy the ride.
It wasn't on sale as far as I know.
Unless you meant previously then I don't know.

Should I just get Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, or get the Complete Pack with all the DLC?

Guys, can I use the SSF4AE DLC from Steam in a non steam version?
It hasn't gone on summer sale yet, but I think amazon/steam have had it at 7.50.

Probably Anniversary. Underworld has some excellent, really long and immersive levels where the game just lets you go for a couple of hours at a time without interruption, and it doesn't have any bossfights to crap you up, but Anniversary is probably the Tomb-Raider-iest Tomb Raider experience. Legend is great, too, though. They all control similarly enough that you can just plough through from one to the next.

not an excuse really, plenty of games with studios shutdown have been put on sale before

I've already put 2+ hours in. I am going to discover the secret of the magic crystals...I've been getting ready to do it for over a year now. It will happen. And Eusis, it really is one of the worst gag gifts you could give via Steam. The amount of time you need to put into this game in order to "win" is unfair.
E: Looks like the SF4AE code has been claimed! Thanks guys!

Payday is fantastic if played with friends. I've been playing it for the last 2 weeks straight since it went on sale on Amazon for the same price. Great co-op action. It's L4D except with swat, and you're a bank robber. Each time you play the mission is slightly different, the missions are dynamic and can play out differently in surprising ways. It is awesome. Buy it, even with no one you know IRL you can do the Matchmaking and there is still a decent number of people playing(probably more now). We always have 3 in group and never have a problem finding a 4th.
I meant the Steam Sale, on the whole. Ah, how could I be so blind. It's in small lettering at the top. Thanks, guys.

Funny until I visited the page and saw "You already own Secret of the Magic Crystals". The crazy games we end up with thanks to bundles!If anyone feels like playing a cruel joke on someone http://store.steampowered.com/app/45100/?snr=1_7_suggest__13

I have no nostalgia for Tribes and love it. It play totally different from any shooter out and just skiing around the map is fun. Its a great game, but I feel the progression system is a bit too steep. It takes a bit longer then I'd like to afford new stuff. I haven't bought anything yet though so maybe that permanent xp boost you get after a purchase should fix it.

I'll actually go ahead and put myself in the path of GAF's wrath and join in on the Alan Wake dislike. I mean, it's a killer sale, so go ahead and try if you are interested, but I found it to be honestly a pretty bad game. The atmosphere is nice and it has good usage of light and dark along with a story that is pretty good by video game standards. But the gameplay was just really bad. Very little variety with weapons, enemies or tactics. And it just dragged on endlessly for parts without any advancing in the story and nothing but endless seeming, subpar combat and repetitive environments. So yeah, I'm sure folks will enjoy it, especially if you like atmosphere, but I found it a pretty big waste of time. It's actually the game that got me on my new kick of not finishing games if they start to drag, when I finished Alan Wake I was just so annoyed in retrospect at feeling like I had to beat a game that was so long and unfun for so much of it.

For $7.49 Alan Wake is a must buy!

I can still see it happening. Either EA taking over that version of something. Otherwise it wouldnt even be on Steam at this point.
Yes. "Thanks to buddies".

Yeah that's what I was gonna say too.
Also even if EA has some way to put it on sale, no way they do it for the anti-origin version.

So what happens if anyone buys that game on Steam now? Where does the money go?

$3.74 on U.S. store.
Anybody need help buying anything from the U.S. store? Just add me.

Seems like a lot less people needing to buy from the U.S. store this year though. Could the days of BS regional prices finally be behind us?
Probably Rhode Island. Their governor said that if he was in charge the game wouldn't have had all that violence and sex ... I don't think anybody there would have a fucking clue on how to handle the game.

I'll PM you a BJ for it.On another note, I have one extra SF4AE code available. The other guy hasn't gotten back to me yet, so if you're interested, PM me. $7.50 for it.

No one'll bite you're head off for disliking it, I can see where you're coming from, I just still fell in love with the atmosphere. Though, I actually like the Combat, thought it felt pretty good and was a lot of fun. I can respect your opinion, especially since you actually took the time as to say why you didn't like it.

well 38 Studios probably had a contract with Steam so the game won't disappear until that initial contract is over (or Steam runs out of keys since there is no one to issue more keys to them anymore)

bro the story sucks because it's nothing but a string of suspense/horror movie cliches along with horrible horrible writing, I dunno maybe the horrible writing is done ironically as to parallel Stephen King; moreover it haslike the most annoying facet of bad fiction in a shit protagonist who's an idiot. Maybe if alan wake wasn't a jerk he'd realize that strapping on a lantern would make the bad guys go away. the gameplay is as I described it, youre railroaded down dark mountain paths fighting the same 3 enemies over and over again with the weird dodge mechanic that isn't all that novel to begin with. there's basically no variation in strategies when fighting said enemies.
its a cynical, empty experience and goes down as my biggest dissapointment this gen

Yeah, I'll fully admit that I'm a little off on some things. Atmosphere in particular just does very little for me, I'm sure that's a big part of why I didn't like Alan Wake. As even as I'm not a fan of the game I did see that it had a really distinct feel, which was nice in an age of copy / paste clone games.
