Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I could have bought it for ~$4 but decided to wait in hopes that I could snag it for $2.50
We all did bro, I subsequently got pissed and gave it away.

Anyone thinking of taking on Inferno for Ys: Oath?
I'm not sure how much difficulty scales in the game but from what I've seen in Origin on normal it would take me forever.

Game is mysterious but not horror-esque, the atmosphere is eerie but you will never jump out of your sit, at $2.50 I think its worth it, but only if you know before hand that you will only get around 1 hour of entertainment out of it and that it is a pretty passive hour at that.
On the fence as well.
Destructoid says it's just an interactive movie that requires you to press W for 1-2 hours.
No gameplay "shooting" or "platforming" whatsoever.
Basically, it's a tech demo that has fancy locales with elaborate visuals and supposedly a soothing soundtrack along with a narrator saying vague things about the scenery.
Playing through Origins on Nightmare right now. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Audiosurf is amazing and Gemini Rue is a good adventure game. Haven't played the other two.

Dear Esther is only an hour? Eh, it's only 2.50 so I guess it doesn't matter.
It took me at least 3 hours each, but even being 2, it's really worth it. In my opinion it's even better than Heavy Rain, my game of the year so far, and unless they really screw up with the next 3, it can be one of the best games in the current gen.

You walk around slowly and look at pretty stuff while a narrator occasionally narrates the story and really nice music plays.
It's not a "game" per se. I thought it was sort of boring, but I think it just wasn't my type of game.

Ys Origin better come back on sale as a daily, flash or community deal.
GEMINI RUE!

Thank you for providing me with courage. I can do this, let's go!
Volcynika, my jaw just dropped at your achievement page. I see you in different light lolol.
Question: if I beat it in inferno, will get all the lower level achievements at the same time?
Witcher 2 was a flash deal.

Another random recommendation for the underlooked games that are on sale, Eversion is 50% off ($2.49).

This is an incredibly hard game to sell to people, but essentially it's a retro style platformer with an interesting gameplay twist where you can 'evert' the level to different states. It only lasts about an hour to beat it the first time, but has a good amount of replayability with multiple endings, online leaderboard modes, and a level editor.
This might sound like backwards logic, but I seriously recommend you don't look into the game and just try it for yourselves. It's actually a lot of fun and does a good job at providing the unexpected.
For the cheap price, it should be worth it for anyone who loves retro platformers and PRESS X TO EVERT!!

How much are you hoping for Witcher 2, it was already a Flash sale for $17 I believe, which is still too expensive for my taste
, it probably wont go lower than thatscorpscarx

I finished Episode 1 and 2 in 6 hours. And besides that u have some replay value (decisions decisions are changing how characters react to you etc). Episode 2 has a pretty awesome arc of suspense.
U should buy it.

I was planning on cutting down my wishlist this sale, but despite buyiing like 15 games already, it has more games on it then before. Damn you, Gabe.
Greed Corp is great once you figure it out.
As far as I know, the difficulty achievements still do not stack in Oath in Felghana (they were considering changing that, but I don't think they have). They do in Origin, though.

Vote for Mirror's Edge if you have no preference of your own. You should do this because of [reasons] and not just because I already own the other two.
I know, but it still might be a daily. Plus on the last day of sales they sometimes do second chance sales.
Oh, ARMA II as well is on my list

What's the least demanding, yet fun racing game? I want something like need for speed but they all seem demanding for my average performance laptop.

Oh okay, that's different. I'll have to look into it.
I'm going to add you if it's okay, I want to look up to you.

Was this ever a free game for download? I seem to recall playing it, or maybe my friend had it or something. But yeah, it was a pretty fun (if trippy) game if I'm remembering the right game.

I can second this. This game is awesome and will fuck with your head. Solid platforming, interesting puzzles, and multiple endings. The screenshots are seriously misleading in regards to the mood and direction of this game.
The game's premise reminds me of a free mod called Stanley Parable that somewhat takes this idea and makes it into actually a game of choice and illusion.

Batman will come back a daily, it was only a Flash deal.
Im hoping that when it comes back as daily, it comes back with a pack with all the DLC together.
and the original and remixed soundtracks. Deal of the sale.

Get Trackmania, its free, scales amazingly well and its challenging if you want it too, amazing online community too.
That's fine.
Yes, that's the price for the duration of the sale, barring a flash/daily deal.

Any thoughts on the Men of War pack? Seems like a great deal for all that content.
The only gameplay involved is walk a linear path as a man narrates a story in fragments, the story isn't very clear and each player will undestand it in a different way, if a remenber corretly the duration of the game is a lttle more than one hour.
The game is really gorgeus, the caves sequences are jaw-dropping and the audio is great too.
But it's barely a game and is not for everyone.Unless you really want a heavy narration based experience that is gonna leave you more questions than anwsers I recomend you not to buy it.
I still don't know what the hell the deal is with F.E.A.R. I played the demos of the first two games back in the day and couldn't discern anything from them other than "standard first person shooter with above average AI and some horror-themed scripted events". The only one I was ever actually "into" was the PS3 demo of one of the F.E.A.R. 2 DLC packs.
Whatever. I probably wouldn't get down to it until after another sale anyway.

They talked a bit about it on Three Moves Ahead recently. Seemed like a good game. The online community is pretty much just hardcore people though.

Got Age of Empires 3 and both the expansions for like $0.10 from Games for Windows back when it was on sale, wish I could redeem it on Steam though, hahaha.
