Are you going to at least play number 3? LOL
The Steam website has been broken for me since last night. At the time, I just assumed that it was being crippled under the load of people looking for the last minute deals of the day, but I woke up today to discover that it still won't load.... nor will it load for anyone else in the house.
I've tried restarting the cable and routers, but no luck so far... any suggestions?

im sure there are tones of people with 500+ games in their steam account...im one of them
That's awesome. I remember when Steam started and only had a handful of games. Even now, when I think about it, I can't picture more than 1,000 games being offered, even though that's clearly a low number.
Yes. If you go into your account details page (in the top right drop down menu), you can select Store Transactions and it will list every purchase you made, including price. (If you buy multiple games at a time however, it will not show the price of each individual game, only the sum.)
Publisher requested it not be able to be applied during the sale. Something like that.

If you dont like it once you play it, dont hate the whole saga, you didnt do good starting from that game, give a chance to 2 and Brotherhood.
Oh right, I forgot they mark it from the original price, still even 5 bucks is good for me.

Damn guys, I thought I had a lot. Last time I checked steam calculator my account is worth almost 1,900 dollars. I've actually finished a majority of them, only got about ~35 games in my backlog.

I really like MS Flight. Such a relaxing game, until you have to land. Glad i bought it.

I'm waiting for Recettear too. It went down to $5 over the Christmas/winter sale so I'm thinking it will soon.
A friend recommended it to me a couple weeks ago and I tried the demo and was hooked.
So now I'll just ignore their game.
I watched that 17-minute walkthrough of Hitman Absolution and now I'm having a really hard time not buying Blood Money. I really shouldn't... but man that game was good and it's so cheap. If Steam didn't take PayPal I'd try solving this by throwing my wallet out of the window. It's hard to forget my email address and password.

For $5, and if you have someone to play it with, then yes. In any other situation though, no. The game is fun, don't get me wrong, but it also was incredibly disappointing and essentially killed off everything that made FEAR what it was. It also has a laughably terrible plot full of some of the most convoluted bullshit and blatant plot holes I have seen in a long while, with insult added to injury that some of the late game plot points will seriously piss off long-time fans.
But for all of that, it actually has pretty decent level design. The campaign is short, but fun while it lasts. The game really shines in it's multiplayer modes though, especially F***ING RUN and Convulsions. Those two modes were kind of the highlight for me and others I happened to play with.
If I started with AC:R on the PS3 out of curiosity (Never got far, PS3 ran HOT as hell where it was) for all the hype and huge following, can I get away with just going AC2 + AC:R or do I NEED AC:B? I already bought AC:R since I figured it was all I was going to play for fun but $4.99 for AC2 Deluxe, can't pass.

yea also, thos indi bundles help build your collection as well.
doing it wrong bro.
I did not know of this. This sale finally pushed me over the 200-game threshhold. So if you're at 1900 with 35... Oh God I'm so so scared to check.
Edit:
Looks like it's offline due to heavy traffic. Ignorance remains bliss for yet another day.

I thought JaseC had the biggest. Was proven wrong.
I got 90 games, but steam counts dlc. I have roughly 55 games or so.

Assassin Creed Brotherhood is amazing and tells what happens to Ezio after the second games ending.
It enhances things that wer already good in 2 and Rome is fantastic. Its my favourite AC.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
The soundtrack is excellent, the story is a bit too much "artsy" but it's an okay game.

He wasn't alone.
Rage is a risky one, Valve and Id stuff go crazy cheap sometime. 67% off is nice, but I can just feel 75% or 80% coming.
Okay 24 hours to make my choice.

And that's why I don't bother with any Ubi game (though, I did get Rayman Origins, since it doesn't contain 3rd party DRM, AFAIK.)

Oh my god, the first FEAR game is on sale. Glad I waited. I almost bought it for 6 bucks instead of two fiddy.

No no. I have ~120 games TOTAL. I take it back, my backlog is probably closer to 50.
I didn't play first but had a chance to play the second. Was worth a playthrough for sure.

Add me to the wall of shame. Damn you Steam! I like to think I will never run out of things to do when I'm sitting around the retirement home one day. If steam is still around then.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I could have bought it for ~$4 but decided to wait in hopes that I could snag it for $2.50

How was the story?
FEAR3 is DirectX11 and looks great. After you finish you can play as Fettle (the brother) who has this cool ability to possess and blow soldiers up from within plus telekinesis so you can toss around the environment. The coop is great. The story is faster paced and more clear than any of the other games and they tell the story from the beginning so no prior knowledge needed. Also retains the great gun play the series is known for. LOVED IT!
Only two of the five chapters are released. People really like what has been released so far (from the impressions I've seen). That's all you can go on.
