It´s pretty good. Nice artstyle, interesting story, but not particulary good puzzles.

It'll be back in someway I'm sure. I feel like it should be a daily deal at some point.
Don't they sometimes bring back all the deals on the last day? I feel like I may remember them doing this.

Purchases so far:
- Alice: Madness Returns
- FEAR collection (what a great deal! First thing to scream 'BUY' at me so far!)

I'd say that FEAR is the best deal I've seen and Cave Story y most interesting buy.

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
I am up to $193 spent so far for about 47 transactions. Probably over 60 games with the game packs all told.
Bought a lot of Telltale games and I haven't bought Walking Dead yet. I am torn but I will probably bite. Down to 75 bucks left in my wallet so I am getting nervous. I am starting to be a bit more picky now though.
First Steam Sale and I love it. This winter I am sure my damage will be much lower.

I don't think Age of Empires III is as good as II. I'd actually say AoE Online is probably a tad better than III once you've finished grinding for all the stuff you need to suit your playstyle.
But all the AoE games are good and worth playing, it would be pretty awesome if Microsoft got I and II updated to work properly on modern PCs without weird workarounds and stuck them on Steam. I'd definitely rebuy II since my discs disappeared.
And my damage is pretty minimal.
Trine 2 - $3.75
Witcher 2 - $16
Also gifted out $40 worth of Ys Origin, so there's that too :lol

It is pretty awesome, especially since I got it for 15 cents during a MS sale.
By the way, has there been an ASS day yet? I'm looking to pick up the complete collection.
EDIT: Wow, I'm an idiot, just noticed the games are on sale today. And bought.
Men of War is fantastic. Some incredible SP levels but also really, really fucking good when it comes to MP.
If you want to focus on MP get Assualt Squad.
Watch TychoCelchuuu's youtube vids to get a feel for the MP.
$0.28, minor. You know you want to.

It's 16.99€ in europe, which is about twice as much as the US price. Ridiculous.

Before people ask, does not work with Steam version AFAIK.
Meh, F3AR kinda sucks. Controls are very floaty. I turned off blur in the .cfg, and turned off vsync and that helped a bit.
I dunno, it feels like the mouse is emulating a gamepad or something.
How do I slide? It says I just unlocked it.
FEAR 1 was the best. Man, how far this series has fallen.

If you enjoy old school rpg's and a challenge then it will definitely NOT disappoint! I love it personally although I curse at it for kicking my ass at times. lol
Last night during the Fallout New Vegas flash sale, I said that's all for the sale.
Now I'm getting RAGE and Red Faction.... Sigh, Lord Gaben knows exactly what I wanted and probably went "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY! MUAHAHA"....

Generally, yes haha =) I'll toss it around in my head for a bit before deciding to buy it with Metro or not.

I'm sure they have full control over pricing. It probably makes them a ton of money. Look at Dear Esther for example. I doubt anyone even knew what the fuck it was yesterday, and now everyone is interested.
It feels like I'm gonna get five bucks worth of enjoyment from this. I'd be miffed if I payed twenty, but for five it seems alright.
I might mess with coop later.
No, the featured ones make tons.

Sounds tempting. I remember reading a lot of backlash when AoE 3 first came, but good to hear that the expansions improved a lot. However I think I will still wait.
I told myself I would not buy anything but that Indie Bundle V is very tempting. Ys and Gemini Rue in one package for such a great price.

hope so...that or arma 2
If they were losing money their publishers wouldn't agree to have their games put on sale

How's the combat?
A new game like Max Payne 3 though is heavily discounted though...

Steam sales tends to increase revenue (not just sales) by a mutliple of at least 4, and more if they game is well advertised (for example, XSEED made an absolute mint out of the Ys Origin flash sale, hitting the top three biggest sellers list which is apparently measured in terms of revenue, likewise I'd say Rockstar saw a airline carrier's worth of dosh out of the Max Payne 3 sale, as that was stapled to the Biggest Sellers top spot for the duration of its sale).
Excellent. The grid based movement and combat mechanics took some time to get used to. However, the sense of exploration and the puzzles therein are really good and a ton of fun. Every Steam sale there are 1-2 games that I never really heard of before but end up loving afterwards. This looks to be one of those for this sale.
That said, the game was already a daily and a community vote. You may want to wait until the last day to see if it pops up again.

A game of the quality as Rage is well worth $9.99. The only Knock I have against it is it's really easy. Not that I like hard games, but this game was exceptionally easy. I heard the ending was atrocious as well, but I'll find out for myself one day when I get around to finishing it. I bought Rage for like $24 and I don't feel ripped off in the least. Gorgeous graphics, and very nice and fleshed out universe, good vehi9cular combat as well as good gun play, it's a solid 8 out of 10 to me.

I think I have too many games now...
I want to buy the August/September releases (like Sleeping Dogs, Darksider II, and Borderlands 2), but there is NO way I can record, and upload, all the games I'm buying from this Summer Sale haha.
My damage report so far:
Trine 2: $3.74
Borderlands GOTY: $7.49
Hitman Blood Money: $2.49
Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate edition: $9.99
Metro 2033: $4.99
With those three games, that alone is like 100+ hours to complete...before the August 15? releases...sigh.
It's either: play a game that I like, smaller/old audience, or play a game that's new, big influx of people querying for stuff like "darksider II walkthrough". Oh well.
Oh wait, with Dawnguard coming out soon, all my troubles will be washed away =)

I just cracked the 200 game limit. I rule. This sale was pretty easy to resist (well I kinda overspent but not as much as I'd thought.) I'm thinking I'll have a pretty good time from here on out.
I'd still get it.
For those wondering about FEAR 3, it's definitely more of FEAR 2 style, but it's still a solid shooter and for $5 (which is what I got it for), I really think it's a great deal.

I know. I'm not going to buy it unless it's featured again.
Pretty weak sale so far.. only one I've really wanted that I didn't have yet was Anno and that was still priced too high for me to bite. I did consider The Walking Dead also but have already bought Episode 1 on Xbox and haven't played it yet. That was definitely a nice price.
I might bite on AoE 3.

What's the purpose of the steam wallet? Not having to input your CC everytime you make a purchase but not having your CC stored on steam?
