Here's my take on Amnesia - Yes, it is scary. But it's not the type of scary you might used to.
Darkness is your enemy, and so you're managing your oil for your lamp constantly to keep from going crazy. For me, that fearful rationing of your oil is what makes the game so terrifying. It borders on stressful.

Shit, we may as well start up the Steam thread rain dance. Worked for Last Remnant!
Of course I was. Each major publisher at most had one major franchise on sale per day. PoP is the last one missing from Ubisoft. Settlers 7 could be on sale too, since it won't be a franchise, but I doubt they'll do it.3chopl0x said:
Tomorrow will be DeadSpace for EA. Probably 66% off. So DS1 will be 6.80 and 2 will be 10.20.

Bought Amnesia and with that I am done with the sale. GG and WP Steam
(at least I think I'm done... I think)
Witcher 2 $30
Oblivion $8
Darksiders $5
King's Bounty $7
Amnesia $5
Casualties: $55
Have not played any of them yet LIKE A BOSS!
Considering Mass Effects and Dragon Age 1 but I'd rather wait until I get through at least part of my RPG pile of shame. Namely Persona 3 and 4 and the Witchers. Also considering some super cheap, "might as well" stuff that some of you have been recommending like Longest Journey and SpaceChem and whatnot. Maybe.

They fixed a lot from Empire. Napoleon is a better game. Try the demo.

Whether or not Amnesia is worth $5 is hard to say. Yes, it's a great game. But you will be too scared to play it. It will test you as a man. I've never played a scarier game. Heart rate..increasing.....breathing...heavily.....pulse..getting faster....
Also, make sure to play with headphones and in the dark. Have fun

It's all part of the game...a dollar here, a dollar there. It adds up. We all have to establish some limits, (seemingly) rational or not...because we've all seen the results of the alternative during our first sale.

Tempted to double dip on Fallout 3- I take it there's no issue with mods on the Steam version?

ha i'll buy the game and see whats up. I doubt its anywhere near as scary as you guys are making it sound though. Bunch of little girls around here.
I bought ME1 just to buy something so I could stop looking at the dailies until something popped out. I'm hopelessly addicted. Nice to have it on PC though, got Mass Effect 2 though unfortunately that isn't on Steam. Means I can nab ME3 on PC instead of 360 though!
I may break my router the next time a Steam sale starts. Jesus

Basically Universe Sandbox is exactly what the title suggests. It's a sandbox but in a universal scope; you've got different scenarios you can load up like booting up the solar system, or the (reality predicted) Milky Way galaxy merging into the Andromeda galaxy in the next few billion years. There are some really cool scenarios like being able to load up Jupiter and all its moons and watching all the orbit speeds and such, manipulating how fast everything goes in time etc. And then you have the joking stuff like creating a binary system and a few planets and moons and then seeing how the effects of gravity play out. Basically anything that is within the universe (black holes, asteroids, comets, etc) is available in the sandbox to create and manipulate. If you're a physics major you'd love something like this simply for experimentation sakes.shintoki said:
I bought it way back when it was still sold through a website and I still load it up now and then to fiddle around with it but it's not as robust or as excellent as some of the other "astronomy" programs like Celestia.

Its more that I'm holding out for a game or two, and if I spend the 12 dollars it would leave me with $14 in my steam wallet. I would have been ok with it if it had left me with above 15 dollars, but I must hold strong. Also I played and beat both mass effects on xbox so it wasn't like I was really wanted the games, 5 dollars was my sweet spot.

Wait till you see how many points you need to buy all the DLC. According to my calculations you need at least 2460 BW points to buy all the story based DLC and another 1,120 BW points for all the other non-story based DLC.
If you are interested in the DLC you can find it here :-
