Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Limbo is coming to PC on the 2nd. Space Pirates and Zombies is coming to Steam shortly after as well. Can't wait for that one.

Just downloaded Hammerfight from the Humble Bundle, and I must say it is much much better than I expected.

Oh, and harder. Much much harder than I expected. C:

I played a fair bit of Hammerfight before. It was strangely compelling.

It was compelling me to buy a larger mousepad.

I know all of you are stoked for the humble indie bundle. But, Batman arkham asylum is really cheap right now if your computer can run it I would really suggest it. It's the best Metroid clone EVER made.

Metroid clone..? Well that's the first I've ever heard it called that, but to each their own.
And it is an excellent game. You actually feel like Batman.

Well not quite a clone, but it felt like a metroid game. Getting new items to open up new areas and the exploring felt very Metroid. And yes. I was AMAZED how much you feel like Batman.

Big issue with playing TF2. Seems like the update bugged the Mac versions of the game so when you join a server, the game crashes. Hope they get this fixed soon D:

New special is up... free weekend play of Dino D-Day!

Glad they fixed it

And I was considering getting From Dust later on but realized, I cannot play games like that because I tend to freak out if my people die and I feel powerless against such things.. And stuff...

Anyone heard of the game called E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy? It's a new game that just released today (7/29/2011) that appears to be a unique mix of Deus Ex and Bioshock, all blended together in Valve's Source engine. The game is made by Streum On Studio, whose previous game was the Half-Life 1 mod Syndicate Black Ops. The Deus Ex inspiration comes from how many solutions there are to a single situation. Some of those solutions are stealthy sniper assassinations, building attack drones, hacking defense turrets to attack enemies, hacking enemies to attack other enemies, and luring enemies into proximity mines (you can also go in guns-blazing, but that's the bland option ). The Bioshock inspiration comes from the fact that you have powers that let you do all sorts of things, such as teleportation and realizing fake clones. Also, one of the game's major focuses is that it has heavy RPG elements that allow you to increase your abilities. From what I've seen the game looks really good. Here's a couple of trailers;

I'll wait for a sale to get it, unless someone gets a 4-pack and shares one with me :3

Wow, that game looks freakin' awesome.

Also, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is finally on sale. Considering picking it up.

anyone ever played bit.trip.runner so fickin hard, im on the stage right before the boss in the first section and its like 5 times as long as all the others...imma kill this game. but it is cool how they incorporate the music into it

Xkhaoz must become the best Dota player in THE WO- nah, too much work

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Portal 2 got a permanent mark-down to $30.

Just played it, and it is trippy Very nice mod, with multiple endings

Rawr I can't seem to reinstall TF2. It keeps saying the servers are busy

And Brink seems to have a 3 Day free trial.

This can seem a stupid question but, do you know if "August's sales" (the sales that are appearing the 5th, 6th and 7th) are only limited to Doom and Quake games? In other words, are other games supposed to appear (appart from daily deals and that type of "normal deals")?
Thanks in advance!
