Get Just Cause 2 if it goes for $5 again. And even if it doesn't, it is worth the $13 it is now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/8190/NBtoaster said:

I don't have tons of time to game. But when I get a free night with the wife out I'll often just install 3-4 Steam sale games and sample the first 45 min or so of each. Then you at least feel like you've tried them and you can move forward with the one you like best.

I honestly can't think of anything that I want to get super cheap, but I'm sure I'll make some excuse to buy something
I think I'm gonna start gifting my friends now instead of buying things for myself if there isn't anything to buy.
Already had it, and just finished it
Now I want something similar because it was super-fun. I asked about Just Cause 1 yesterday but based on the impressions I think I'll wait for something else.

I enjoyed Red Faction Guerrilla when it came out, fun sand box game.

Alien Breed is extremely meh. I found everything about it to be generic and uninspired with nothing that stood out as great or even neat. Alien Swarm is much much better.
I played through the first one on xbox and then 30 mins of the second always in the hope t would get better but eventually gave up.
Story is generic you're on a space thingy and there's aliens delivered mostly through text. Graphics are posterchild for 'every unreal game looks the same'. Objectives are the most uninspired I've ever come across - nothing but restarting generators, reactivating oxygen supply, venting gas, etc. Gameplay is generic top down with the usual issues like enemies off screen attacking you and not being able to see far ahead enough.
But for free it's probably worth it

Bought Darksiders, Dream Fall & The longest Journey. Wish Capcom would lower the price for RE5

You can download that for free once you have HL2. They are being tight-fisted though on account of not including HL: Source, HL Deathmatch and HL Deathmatch: Source. Of course, nobody's playing the multiplayer games any more, but still...
And I'm still waiting for a Steam version of HL: Uplink, Valve.

Portal 2 and Frozen Synapse today please. It'd make me a happy camper.

No doubt. Send me a team PM as soon as today's deals hit so I know you're around.Snuggler said:I'm hyped. Hopefully there is something more appealing to me than in yesterday's line up. I might be sending you a request if you're able to hook a brother up today

So I was looking through the cheapest Mac games I didn't have yet, and ended up getting The Graveyard, Windosill, and Guns of Icarus. Of these, Guns of Icarus and Windosill are at least sort of fun. The Graveyard sucks though, even as an art game, and I do appreciate art games. If you want to play something like The Graveyard that doesn't suck, just play Jason Rohrer's Passage, which is free.

I'm sure Capcom are preparing another 3 year old game at a totally laughable price, taking up another space in the sales as we speak.
Street Fighter 4 for £25 or something I expect. I'm serious.

A shame. I have extra JC2 and would've gifted it to you
Instead of having each game with a discount, EA games are being sold in packs.French said:
Some of the packs discounts are rather small, but it's possible that we'll see some of them in daily deals, like the Battlefield BC2 pack.
Battlefield BC2 Pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8666/
Dragon Age Pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8671/
Mass Effect Pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8673/
The Sims 3 Pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8665/
Need for Speed Pack: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8667/

Other DLC are costumes or challenge/PVP maps.
I liked Marshlands challenge. Undead/Demon theme and there are lots of enemies on screen.
