Pretty torn on the AC bundle and TW2. On the one hand still holding out for Dead Rising 2. I played AC2 and loved it, played a little of AC:B and thought it was ok. Not sure I want to spend most of my $40 budget on that. On the other hand I've heard good things about TW2. And I still need to pick up ARES and Beat Hazard.

If I am not mistaken it was delayed to July 2011 because of the 360 support.

Everyone who doesn't have an AC game better get one today. Those are insane deals. Same for Torchlight.

For me, Transformers is tempting. How is it?

EDIT: On second thought, I'll pass on Transformers. I just don't see myself playing it much.

I...I just realized that I don't need to buy every game. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have games that I've already beaten in a nice complete collection on Steam...but I'm not crazy about the first AC. And I've already Platinum'd AC2 on the PS3. I will wait for a better price on Brotherhood at the end of the year. I feel...relief, almost. Freedom.

That Assassin's Creed deal is insane. I never played the first one (most people say it's not worth playing) but ACII is fantastic and people say ACB is even better.

Men of War assault squad is some of the most fun co-op gaming I've ever had (in an RTS).

Totally worth it, if you like that kind of thing. Also, it's miles beyond Company of Heroes.

Everyone should own Assassin's Creed trilogy after this point. Ezio is one of the best goddamn characters in videogames.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior gets a ton of hate, but the sniping levels are actually a lot of fun because the sniping mechanic is quite gratifying. Also, most haters didn't actually play the game.

AC: Revelations will be released on 360, PS3 and PC the same day last I heard.

Two worlds 2 is still too expensive and I already have Torchlight. I'm thinking of buying defes grid but I'm not sure if I'm actually going to play it :p

Fuck, this Hoarde Ticket is hard. Even playing on that Spiral Tower level. I made it 6 minutes and still didn't destroy enough carriages to get it.

What am I missing?

I liked the multiplayer demo of Transformers when I played it last year on my Xbox 360. I think I'll get it for this price. Looking at the Steam forums, it looks like people are still playing it.

Well I gave in and bought Darksiders during the last 5 minutes of the previous day. Curse you steam sale! I might get brotherhood this day, but it depends how it handles.

Whoooo! Nothing for me today! Already own Tropico and Torchlight.

I almost want TWII but I can just wait till the holiday sale or next year.

I HIGHLY recommend Tropico 3 at that price. It's a fantastic city-builder style game and the campaign has some well thought out and challenging scenarios. It's also got a fair bit of style and humor, for under $4 it's a must buy.

SMH I can't believed they offered Assassin's Creed 2 for $9.99 when just a few weeks later they were going to offer it for $6. Anyways Ass Bro for $19.99 is an awesome deal.

Never played any games in the AC series before, so that might be my buy for the day.

Is it worth going for all 3? It might be better just to get 2 now and pick up 3 the last day if I enjoyed 2, as people seem to think 1 is relatively poor.

Does anyone have an extra Hoard copy I could buy? I tried the demo this morning but did not finish it fast enough to get in on daily deal price.

Wait, all 3 AssCreed games for £16? That is a fucking steal. EASILY the best deal so far and I can't imagine it being topped.
