Eschalon Book 1 & 2 are now on sale at the Steam summer sale;
Eschalon: Book I - $3.74
Eschalon: Book II - $4.99
Got book I gifted by a friend yesterday and I was immediately hooked! Although the graphics are nothing special, the sound and music are amazing! Game really has a great atmosphere and the dialog is surprisingly well written!
Now I haven't got Book II yet but supposedly it improves on a lot of things.
Some screens;
Trailer;

And that GODLY main theme song;

Definitely worth a pickup IMO.
I'm probably going to purchase book II before the end of the sale as well.

OH MY GOD I GOT THE HOARD TICKET ACHIEVEMENT
That was difficult, and entirely luck-based.
Some rude dude was the fourth member of the 4pack for HOARD in the morning and told me someone else got it for him after I paid for the pack. Nobody throughout the day seemed to want in. Who wants a free copy of HOARD?

That Garshasp game does look really good, particularly for such a small production.
I hadn't even realized it was less than 2 months old.
edit: got a lot less trouble with the hoard chievo than with the AaaaAA one, which reminded me why I hate dejobaan.

Daaamn, if I hadn´t ordered Dawn of War 2 Gold last week, didn´t already own CoH:OF, Metro 2033, RF:Guerrilla and Titan Quest, I totally would´ve bought the THQ pack.
And if I hadn´t ordered Bioshock 2, Hitman Blood Money and AvP in Zavvi´s 3 for 2 I could buy B2 today. Not AvP, though, since we Germans are deemed to girlish (or to easily goaded into violence?), so it´s okay.
Will buy Darksiders and gift my bro Bad Company 2
Too bad Resi 5 is 15, who buys pc games for that much?!
I have a question about the Orange Box*: buying individually is cheaper than the Orange Box, any chance Valve will change that? And will L4D be the reduced violence version when I buy a phyical copyfrom the UK and register on German Steam?
*I have Half-Life 2 already, but it´s on a Steam account I don´t even know the name of, derp.

Garshasp is probably the most epic Iranian made game ever, it's also probably the only one.

I'm tentatively interested in
Plants vs. Zombies
and
Magicka.
Anyone mind telling me about those games and how they play?

1. No - Solo'ing all the way
2. Round based (but it's more of an background system) see the let's play; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxXbojoen4E
3. Seeing I've only got the game yesterday can't really tell you the scope or awesomeness of the total game
But from what I've seen the dialog and text (full text based game, no voice overs) it's really well done and atmospheric. Some of the dialog is like reading a fantasy book, really well done like I said.

I guess I'll wait if it shows up as a daily deal or buy it at the end of the sale ^^

I really want Steam to include The Whispered World on a daily deal. It's £14.99 which is too much as I've heard mixed reviews, but I love adventure games and the art and animation is absolutley gorgeous.
Knock it down by 50% and I'll bite.

All I care about is Portal 2 to go down from $33. It HAS to.

Why am I buying games that won't even run on my shitty integrated chipset? Time to buy a cheap video card on Amazon and prey that it will run anything that I buy in my frenzy on low settings.

plants vs zombies, it plays like the greatest game ever made. that's how.Pureauthor said:
you need sunflowers to make sun, then with the sun you buy plants. the different kind of plants stop zombies of many varieties invading your house and eating your brains. It's sort of like tower defense, but not exactly. It's excellent and for that price, don't hesitate. The achievements are all achievable and fun as well.
Magicka I just purchased as well. It's a bit diablo-ish I guess, I only played the demo, but it was really fun. Going to get stuck into it now.
BOTH. But if I had to pick one, I'd go PvZ. My favourite game of the last year.

Didn't even know it came to steam. This game really needs to be included in a daily deal.Appollowexx said:
And about Magicka this article is what made me buy the game when it came out.
