Wish upon a star - Build a wishlist of 10 items

Anyone get this yet? Are we having to just add 10 new games to our list?

I'm not even home and I got it. If you already have ten or more, it should be automatic.

I'm staring down the barrel of a rifle loaded with Amnesia, The Last Remnant, Fallout 3 GOTY, the Mass Effects, and Worms.

I really really should not pull that trigger...

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.

It’s also a game that you need to play it at night with all the lights off not because it will make it "scarier" but cause it is scarier, at least at the start, once you have been scared shitless and understand it then you will want to play it with the lights on.

So in Risen, anyone else get these gigantic black squares that sort of fade away as you move closer? They're really ugly :(.

Welcome!

Great purchases btw. Mass Effect is one of my favorite series.

I actually have ME2 & Fallout 3 for xbox, but have recently joined the Master Race and the 360 no longer gets a look in, so i've barely played them!

Hoping for Trackmania tomorrow (crosses fingers!)

How are you so sure there will be an extra day for recap? I don't remember that ever happening before.

It's not an extra day...the sale will be over on Monday at 10 AM, just like always.

Amnesia is a steal at that price.

The Last Remnant isn't worth it, IMO. Some say it has a redeeming battle system, but I say its just all around bad. Not worth more than $5.

I don't see any other killer deals. Not many indie games today...

I'm on the fence for Amnesia, someone convince me.
+ has it's price ever been lower than this?

Buy it?

It's an awesome game, just remember IT IS JUST A GAME
THAT SCARES THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF YOU

But seriously, it's pretty good, you'll feel manly for going through the game once you finish it

Got Amnesia, can't wait to not play it because I'm a frightened little shit.

Tried the Universe Sandbox demo, it looks neat, but I lack the academical background to actually get the most out of the things the program has to offer, and clicking around randomly on moons and planets gets a bit stale after a while. So I'll skip it this time.

Just do it! Look at all that GAME. All those games are long and beefy or short and powerful...and you're spending less than ONE new game.

Do it. Now.

This bummed me out, too. Especially given the wasted spots on big publishers who fail at steam sale. Hopefully they make up for it tomorrow...pretty much all they'd need to offer is Terraria and I will be content.

Hmm..the first Mafia is only $2.49. Really cheap, but will I ever play? Or maybe the better question is should I bother playing it? It got great reviews, but that was almost a decade ago.

I'm guessing that "can it play"website posted a bit back is fairly accurate? Been wanting to play Amnesia for a while now and it says my crappy laptop is powerful enough so I'm willing to try, just wanted to be sure. Though I guess it's a good enough deal I wont mind anyway, I already picked up Borderlands GOTY even though it crashes my computer just for sometime in the future.

Getting Amnesia because the demo was awesome. Kinda hard to pass up at $5.

I'm doing my Youtube research on The Last Remnant.

Debating, Mafia and Splinter Cell.. On SC, is it worth it, if you've never beaten a SC game?

Try out the demo. I don't remember it being too big. 300 MB or so.

How is Divinity II?

20 Euros is a bit too steep for just an Impulse buy. How's the story? I'm not a fan of Oblivion-style games with vast landscapes full of nothing.

Well, I've spent 120$. I believe that is about half of spent for about the entire 2 years prior on Steam.
