I managed to not buy Civ V the other day but I have a feeling that this time I won't be able to.
This is good to hear. I skipped buying the first since I've never heard anything good about it. Nice to know I don't have to spend too much time getting up to speed.

Gonna bite on Rage. So far:
Back to the Future
Trine 2
Hitman: Blood Money
The Walking Dead
Rage
Damage = not so bad. Might pick up Fallout 3 if it becomes a daily. Missed it during the flash sale. Keeping my fingers crossed for Amalur, still...

It wasn't the last sale. I know because I waited until the last day and bought it at $10. It was $5 on Amazon at the time, but I have rebought things to keep everything on Steam before, so I figured I'd skip the middle man that time.
2.50 in Aussie right now..

From what I hear. It's barely a game. Hold W key and read the narration.

Most likely will. Many of the flash deals eventually became dailys.
I thought it was awesome. The environment work was unreal. Totally worth it for that alone. Plus it was a nice change of pace from the usual run and shoot everything. You just sit back and soak in the atmosphere.

AC1 in a Nutshell (spoilers--also spoilers for the first 3-5 minutes of AC2 because I forgot exactly where the ending stops and the intro of AC2 starts):
You are Desmond Miles, a regular guy who is kidnapped by an organization called Abstergo. You are subjected to a device called the Animus, which allows you to relive the "genetic memories" of your ancestors. Your ancestor in this case is Altair, an Assassin in 12th century Jerusalem. Most of the game involves playing through Altairs memories. The Assassins and the Knights Templar have been at war with each other since the dawn of man, covertly manipulating major events in history to their own ends. As Altair, you assassinate a number of templars. Altair discovers an artifact known as the Apple of Eden, which has great powers and can control other people's minds. Abstergo is a holding company for the Templars in modern times. They are using Desmond's genetic memories to track down the Apple of Eden and other artifacts. A previous test subject subjected to the Animus has clearly gone insane, as you see psychotic writings he scribbled all over the walls of his holding cell. One of the women working on interrogating you at Abstergo, Lucy, reveals herself to actually be an Assassin double-agent and breaks you out of Abstergo. END OF AC1
If you start with AC2, this will be more than enough for you to get everything.
You should buy it. It's a lot of fun. Just get the base game for $7.50. You don't really need all that DLC since there's so much game there already. Then in the winter sale you can buy Gods and Kings on the cheap when you feel like changing stuff up.

I voted MW3 just to piss people off. I might not be able to hold back from getting Civ 5 this time.

Is the walking dead a point and click game? I somewhat think it is but I am probably horribly wrong.
Ah man I love this game. I beat it 100% then when my friend got his GT wiped I beat it 100% for him again, and THEN again.
I'll just have to watch for when it drops again, thanks for telling me this game constantly drops though guys.

Super small nitpick:
Lucy doesn't break you out of Abstergo in AC1. That's the intro to AC2.
Great synopsis otherwise, though
It's sort of a modern point and click. A little more focus on QTEs and story choices than finding things and taping them together.
To both games? I suppose I can't go wrong at $2.50 for hitman.

Oh shit, right, it's like the first 5 minutes. Uh... Rats. Well, I'll leave it there now. Thanks for the heads up, though. :/

Guys, what do I do for games that always pop up a window to install the Microsoft VC redist package when launching it? It's annoying.
Woke up at 5 am, still awake at 4 am. (took a 3 hour nap in between though)
Already read it anyways. Now I'm all primed up for AC2. I don't mind knowing what happens in the first 5 minutes of the game.

I have sent 3 carrier pigeons to Gabe Newell's house with notes wrapped around their legs saying "PLEASE PUT ARMA 2 CO ON SALE"

Dear Ester isn't a game. It's an interactive story. If you can accept that, 2.50 is a very fair price for it. And as someone else mentioned, if you play it in 3D, bonus points. Because it takes a very pretty and atmospheric experience and amps it up to 11.
What kind of thinking is that? Good grief man, get on it!

Does Mirrors Edge include the DLC?
What's the point in staying up? You know when the flash deals are refreshed, how long they last, same with daily deals. And they can't run out of stock.Don't you feel like death? Because I know I do
Isn't there a new area too? I rented it and played the first couple missions but it was the same stuff and I had played DR2 recently so I just returned it.
The story is very slightly changed, there's an new area (Uranus Zone) and there's a Sandbox mode.

Yeah but one of my downloads just finished, have to try the game for 10 min before sleeping.
