1. Is Blood Bowl any good?
2. Are the Drakensang games likely to go any cheaper than -33% off, $20 for probably close to 100 hrs of solid RPG goodness works for me even if it doesn't.
3. Is the DLC for River of Time Phileasson's Secret any good?

I thought blood bowl was alright, its like a turn-based strategy/tower defense/old school board game mixed together. I would say its worth 2-5 dollars . Thats what i paid and i dont regret it at all!

Mutant League Football this is NOT!!
 
You know what feels good? Despite spending £40 today, looking at my wish list there's only two other games I need to buy before the end of the sale. I got a good 80% of what I wanted today.

Great first day of the sale it has to be said.

If you have any interest in platformers, games with tight and engaging controls, or absolutely killer soundtracks then Bit.Trip.Runner at $2.50 is one of the best deals you're going to see in a long time. The game is utterly fantastic.

Anyone know if games that are not released yet are eligible for the grand prize top 10 wishlist ?

They were during the Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt, I would assume they are this time too. The official word last time was "if it can be added to your wishlist, it qualifies."

I think Bill's Hat is worth ~$20. I don't think the 1st and 2nd tier Treasure Hats are worth anything though, there were a lot of them, but only ~300 HOUWARs.

I have Bill's Hat but have no idea how. Must have been for pre-ordering L4D. Weird that there's less of those than tier 2 money jigglers.

Faerie Solitaire is $1.25!

I got this as part of an Indie pack last winter and I really enjoyed the game. Taken at the correct pace, the game is a relaxing take on the old Solitaire model. You'll feel like you've earned back that $1.25 by the end of the first stage.
Thanks for the opinion!
Bought for myself and gifted to a friend. I figured I couldn't really go wrong for 2€.
I did the same with Spectromancer and its add-ons. Today is card game day I guess.

I second this. Note: it supports 360 controllers. Which is something you might want to consider.

Oh fuck me its frozen up right while processing my transaction for Runner and BttF
That actually happens to me almost every other time I make a purchase and everything has always worked out alright.

On Toki Tori, do you have to stand in the sunbeam and then complete the level for it to register? It's late so I'm probably being stupid, but I can't see a way to complete
1-6
after you've reached the sunbeam (the way I got to it used one of the bridges which blocked off the way down to the other eggs).
 
So I finally added some stuff to my Wishlist and...its not letting me enter the giveaway. I guess the servers are being hammered/take time to sync all the info (for instance its claiming I only played the Recettear demo for 0.1 hours...)

Never even looked into it to be honest. Any vids that you think will pique my interest?

No, you can just exit to menu after getting the beam.

I think it's actually like ~$10. The Mac "Earbud" items are the ones that go for ~$20.

You can exit to the menu once the sunbeam is registered. It's what I did and I got the achievement.

I apologize if it has been covered before, but does anyone know if The Witcher 2 will stay at 33% off the entirety of the sale or is it strictly a daily deal?

If it is a daily, I'll pick it up asap. If not, fingers crossed it goes lower.
 
Yikes MoH is the definition of "meh". Such an ugly and rough looking game, with such stiff gameplay. The MP portion at least feels very different.

plays great with a keyboard as well

but controller is the way to go

Space bar sucks for anything bar jumping in FPSs, IMO. Numpad 5 is better, but using Numpad 2 to slide is horrible. Basically, my PS3 controller is way better for it.

so people buy em on ebay or something? kinda crazy to me that hats are worth money like that! Then again i guess they do sell them on the game so it makes sense.

This will be my first Steam Summer Sale, really super excited!

Already purchased Witcher 2 and Half Life Episode 2, looking forward to a lot of other games. Set my budget at $150, hopefully i won't go over that -_-

Probably today only, it might be repeated with the weekly round-up of most popular daily deals, but I'd advise you bite now.

The pictures do look bland. I do hear that the single player is good though so I'm tempted to check it out while waiting for BF3 Beta.

There are other sites specifically for that type of stuff. Some stuff definitely fetches over $300 USD, like particular "unusual" hats or the top-level hat from the Treasure Hunt sale.

Is the Single player and access to the BF3 beta worth $10.19?

As far as waiting for daily deals is concerned: does the same apply to the complete packs or only to individual games? I'm wanting to pick up the Valve Complete Pack but have heard it's gone as low as $25 at times.

That is how these guys are going to get a $15 to $20 Billion valuation:
