What's the verdict on the vote? I have all 3, what does GAF need?

I'm sorry but I have to say all. But Zombie Island and Claptrap Revolution may be a bit better.

They're great. Season 3 is some of the best Sam & Max content yet. Totally worth playing through them all. Just keep in mind that they get better as the seasons progress. Like episode 1 is kinda shake-y but by 3-5 it's fantastic.

Thanks for the reminder. I would like to know this too.
The first one is awful, don't deny it.

I *think* the consensus was L4D2. That's what I voted for (have them all already).
OTHERWISE...!

Guys.
Binary Domain is a really good game. If it comes up as a deal, it's worth the money. Damn, very sad it didnt sell well. Would buy a sequel in a heartbeat.

I'd say Zombie, because it's fun, has zombies and it's a nice change of scenery. Secret Armory is a huge fragfest though.
Just avoid Moxxi.
Edit: if you love acid weapons, buy Secret Armory: zombies in Doc Ned are impervious to acid (and that made me sad, until I went all fiery)

Sam and Max complete for 13 bucks is insane.
It boggles my mind. It's soo good. And so cheap for how much good you get.

My take so far:
- Grimrock: $6
- Crusader Kings Sword of Islam: $2.50
- Warlock: $6.80
- Ys Origin: $8
Total: ~$23
I should be able to stay on budget ($50 total). I will pick up the other Ys game for $5 later in the sale, but other than that I am just looking for some good indie deals, and maybe a couple older retail games for $5.
It's sort of funny that during your first Steam sale or two, relatively recent games for $25 seem like no-brainer purchases. However, as your library grows and you see more and more of those previously $25 games hit $5-10 before you have played/beaten them, everything over $10 seems expensive. If I am not invested enough to want a game at launch, I can usually wait the year or so it takes for the title to hit the $5-10 price point.

Yakuza team never disappoints.
But yes, everyone buy on Amazon for $10 now(it's Steamworks!) or wait for a deal on Steam!
I see Dirt 2 is 75% off at $5 and Dirt 3 is 50% off at $25.
I am going to wait on Dirt 3 for a potential Daily deal for less, but how do the 2 compare? I heard that Dirt 3 had some stupid events and that lead for them to make Showdown, to put all the dumb events into one game.
How much of a graphical/physics improvement is Dirt 3 over Dirt 2?

I too voted for L4D2 because it can use more players. Yet I think most people already have all three of them, except me and my kind who don't play Half-Life.
I'd like to have Walking Dead at $13 too.

Well, Ys Oath is in Indie Bundle 5, but you're right, there's no Ys bundle, and there's no reason to not grab Origin now.

I've only ever heard about how dirt 2 is better than 3 in every way.
Wait for the christmas sale. Maybe even the halloween one.
you need that diablo 3 gold delirium!

Dirt 2 is the best Dirt. Get it. It's great. 3 just didn't hook me the same way.

Tropico 4 and the Modern Times DLC for me today. I have almost everything that's on sale today.
Still undecided about the Ryder White DLC for Dead Island, though.

Will do.Vote Left4Dead 2.
The other games already had deals anyways.
I didn't buy Diablo 3. It was released when I didn't have internet and when I came back everyone said the game sucked so I skipped it.

Yeah so L4D2 it is then.
Thinking about Ys...
which is the best in series?

Thanks. Definitely getting Dirt 2.
So far:
Frozen Synapse DLC
Wizorb
Dirt 2
$8.77
Still digging around for some secret sale stuff.
I feel there should be a separate thread showing the hidden gems of this sale, the stuff not on the front page, but still 75% off etc.

Contemplating hosting a Dead Island 4-pack, as I keep missing out on other ones. Do I have to buy it as a gift, or can I buy it for "my account" and then gift the other 3 later?
Never done this before. Please be gentle!

People who put things at the top of their wish lists just might get them. Lesson learned!

I run into some small problems. The widescreen patcher helps a lot but there are chances that the games crashes when a video is playing (there are NOT a lot of rendered videos though). If you run it in windowed mode (not fullscreen) the videos work 100% of the time, AFAIK, at least for me. I really enjoyed it.
To get people for the "2-pack" on Frozen Synapse, please refer to the thread I just created for that:
Its a great, great, great, great game. More info/reviews/vid at link. Buy it!
