Fallout NV from GMG is just the vanilla version? Still not bad for $7.

I purchased the Overlord complete pack. What should I expect?
Is there controller support?

They Bleed Pixels is pretty great! It's like N+ with knife violence and air combos. Great soundtrack, too. One of my favourite games of the sale.

hotline miami is currently an active flash sale:
dead island? really?
It was the community vote not too long ago.
also whether or not NVegas from GMG is GOTY, should stop you from jumping in (in the hope of wanting to score a great deal on steal - I don't think its going to happen). Even the vanilla FONV is hours and hours of play and $7? A steal. Well worth it.

Anyone ever play Avseq? Probably can't go too wrong for that price though. Seems like an interesting diversion.
Thanks for your recommendation, I'm having a lot of fun with it.
One thing, I don't get what some of the unit stats mean. Like the hourglass I get means time to attack and the sword means damage, but no idea about the arm (defense? but don't they die in one hit if they're idling?) and the wall (more defense? lol).

That Tomb Raider collection is very nice, it's just a shame that every Tomb Raider game I've played hasn't been able to hold my interest for more than half an hour. I want to buy them because of the price but I probably wouldn't even play them.
If you then buy all the dlc on steam at their current sale price it is cheaper than the ultimate edition, however it depends whether you want to hold out for a daily...
I find it odd how the Ultimate Edition has been on sale many times recently but not once so far in this holiday sale. Believe it went to £10 in the Autumn Sale?

What about Chronicles? I'm watching some Youtubes of some of the installments I've never played, and it looks really cool and atmospheric.

I got it for £7.49 during the summer sale. I find it hard to recommend the vanilla version given how cheap the ultimate version may drop to at any time now.

Has anyone anything good to say about Front Mission Evolved? 4,42$/ @ GamersGate and it's Steamworks.
Does anyone know why I can only install certain Steam games to my C:\ drive?
I have Steam itself installed in the usual C:\Program Files\ location, but I keep all games on a seperate, larger storage drive. I've set this up in Steam as a library folder and with most games the first pop up option is to choose where I want the game installing to.
But I've come across a couple of games where it doesn't give me this option and I seemingly have to download and install onto my C:\ drive.

I noticed this as well, and couldn't find a fix for it. Only thing I could recommend trying is running steam as an administrator, but I don't think that'll work if you're only getting the option of one drive already (that fixes an error for me where Steam offers both drives but won't allow installing to one).

Not all games are already converted to the magical "new content system" (or what they officially call it) that is needed to choose the install location. Don't know if eventually everything will be ported over or if some games are incompatible for whatever reasons.
Avoid unless you really really crave a mech game. And even then, make sure you have a controller ready.
I never played N+, but you're right about TBP being a great game. It's too hard for me though, I'd put it at the same level as Super Meat Boy: I can struggle past a level if I try hard and long enough, but I end up completely exhausted, and don't even tell me about getting all the bandages/best ranking/coins/scrolls or whatever to get the highest score.
One day I should try and beat all these games. Luckily I was able to finish Hotline Miami, without getting all the masks, weapons, A+
and secret ending
Welcome to the Winter Seal 2012! This isn't the first time something like that happens, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Try the GameMaker pack: they charge you $40 more for the complete pack than the DLC bundle, even though they have exactly the same content. The same happened with the Bit.Trip pack (the bundle was $5 more than getting the games individually), and Far Cry franchise (though I've heard it came with the Deluxe edition of FC3, which may justify the price discrepancy of 7 bucks).

Played it on PS1 back then, it was rather good too, but I had to resort to a guide often (I'm terrible at almost anything puzzle-related). I think I got to the final chapter, but found it incredibly hard and stopped playing. I don't think you could go wrong by getting it, but I have no idea if it has aged well. If you ask it nicely I may even fire up my PS1 tonight and let you know how it holds up

Realized the damn M&M franchise sell applies to all games, grabbed Dark Messiah and Clash of Heroes.

I had the same issue. Unfortunately I doubt I'll ever return to it.
I'm not too far in TBP yet, but it's already getting pretty relentless - it's definitely approaching Super Meat Boy levels, judging by the unfailing validity of pure statistical science (shouted curses per minute).
I really love how the Hotline Miami designers motivated the hunt for all the secrets by couching them in game-affecting things like the mask abilities and the end puzzle, though. One of the only games this year that I jumped right back into after completion as a result of those touches.

Why am I still awake?
Anyway, just spent the last four hours playing it. Worth every GB.
Cheers. Will try it with The Binding of Isaac as it's only 500mb.
Any idea why it happens though? I've noticed it does seem to only occur with games which I've not purchased through Steam directly if that's any coincidence?
Not to mention that the DLC is amazing and varied.

Do the Overlord games have splitscreen co-op? Will buy if I can play locally with my ladyfriend

Wish I had looked into this before buying the PC version of ME3. I remember buying all of the ME2 DLC on the Xbox at a discount.

Anyone have any images of what Tomb Raider Legend looks like on PC with highest settings+mods? Tempted to get it @ $2.49.
Clash of Heroes is my Civilization V, especially when I'm playing a new game and am working at leveling units up. It's so fun and addicting XD.
Speaking of which, if anyone is unable to get the game due to monetary issues or whatever, I've made a give-away-

It's through the fifth at least so I'm pretty sure the last dailies will end on Monday (as they last two days), but the other games will go off sale on Sunday at 1PM EST or something. Not sure.
