Day 2 and again nothing good is on today's sale? When will Steam/Valve put something good on sale.... So far disappointing.

Is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II a really shitty port like the first game? I enjoyed the first game on 360 and $10 seems like a good price for a 5 hour sequel.

Edit: Look, I can understand saying there aren't any games that you want but nothing good? NOTHING. Knights of the Old Republic, Just Cause 2, Hamilton's Great Adventure, Spacechem and Braid are fantastic deals.

:| Indeed. I'm just saying, Shogun 2 might as well not be on sale with that price, and CoD price is a complete joke, the only good thing today is Just Cause 2 and I already own that.

You can unlink after, and still have the ticket.

The Jedi Knight games are pretty good, a Star Wars nerd should get a kick out of them and the lightsaber combat is a lot of fun. Jedi Academy, Dark Forces II, and Jedi Outcast are all worth owning, especially when they're that cheap.

Also, thanks to Horsemama for the trade. Between Torchlight and Terraria, I have a lot of indie goodness ahead of me. Fuck the Steam sales, I'm set.

Heh ok, so you did get it. Never sent a gift before on Steam.

Dark Void Zero is €2.67, is it any good?

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. But for some reason the game always crashes at the beginning of the second stage. No idea why and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. It may not happen with you though.

Everyone should keep an eye on Direct2Drive. They are running a month long summer sale, and on top of typically matching Steam discounts, you can pretty easily knock another 15% off the sale price using referral codes.

For instance, D2D has The Witcher 2 on sale for 37.50 (same as the steam sale), but with the extra 15% off, it works out to $31.83.

If you are a Steam only person, you should still keep an eye out for D2D sales of Steamworks game.

With the extra 15% off, BLOPS is currently $34.13 on D2D and is easily registered on Steam.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
Is HOMMV and its DLC worth the additional $2.50 or should I just pick up Dark Messiah?

I made fake account on FB, linked on Steam then activated delete of FB account.

I personally like HOMMV more than Dark Messiah, but it depends if you like strategy games mixed with rpg features.

So far I have only picked up Medal of Honor. I'm tempted to purchase Just Cause 2 since the price is so slow but I already have it on PS3 even though I didn't finish it.

I debated posting mine, but that's what I'm doing to everyone's posts that contain the lists so why would anyone else do differently?

Tempted to grab Blood Money, but I can't get the demo to run. Comes up with the usual steam window saying the game is launching, and then just, nothing. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Just Cause 2 is looks very tempting. I remember being super hyped for this release, yet I don't remember why/how I skipped it.

Was it worth the hype?
Does the PC version look/run much better than the console counterparts?
How're the controls? does it support a controller?

$5 dollars is about as low as I'd expect it to get. So it's now or never.

Thank you Australian server for letting me download my games! Speeds are still slow, but at least it's downloading something unlike the UK server.

Oh man SpaceChem is good. If you like puzzle games that actually make you think (like Toki Tori, Rush, and Puzzle Dimensions) then you should give the demo a try.

Keep in mind you can only install the game in 5 different machines, and as far as I know you can't retract activations.

Well it is bought now. What shitty DRM. Capcom fucktards as usual..
