Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

@EmpireIndustries I have seen the movie, and it's pretty awesome if you'd like to see the life of an indie developer. If you can get it for less than $8, I recommend it very much.

@bobbiKat It's only $5, currently, so yeah.

Indie Game: The Movie and From Dust will be my two purchases for this sale, if I can bring myself to buy them. D:

I'm thinking of picking up the Prince of Persia collection myself, but I don't know how good it would be controlling with my keyboard

I'm surprised that I have grabbed only one game from the sales so far (Saints Row: The Third). I'll see if I can keep most of my money away from Gabe.

Okay, so I managed to collect $60 for watching a shop, so I'll maybe spend some money on 3 games at the most.

For anyone who's abnormally obsessed with difficult, science-themed puzzle games, I recommend SpaceChem (there is a demo available).

Well I managed to pick up the following:
Binding of Isaac
Magicka
Prince of Persia Collection
Rocket Knight
Sonic Generations
Sonic 4 Episodes 1 & 2
Super Meat Boy
and Trine 1 & 2

Hopefully Trackmania Nations United gets a 50 or 75 percent discount before this sale ends.

I'm interested in grabbing Orcs must Die! Anyone played it?

I haven't got much from the sale yet.
So far I've gotten

Sam and max collection
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Dungeon Defenders
and Sanctum

Anyone know if Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures are good?

Oooh, X Superbox (every X game released on Steam) is on offer for just £9.99.

I already have X2: The Threat (and it only cost me £1.50 from a indy shop), but I've had my eye on X3 for a while now.

Then again, the single games are also on offer, so I could buy both X3 games for £6.48 and forget about the (probably) inferior earlier games in the series, not to mention the one I already have.

Cave Story+ for $2.50, it's probably a good idea.

@soccer686 Good on you for grabbing Sam & Max, it's one of the best adventure games of all time! That said, Wallace & Gromit is a much tougher sell when you have 16 Sam & Max episodes. I've played both, though admittedly only a bit of Wallace & Gromit, and even as a fan of the franchise I didn't love what I played. The trademark humor is attempted, but it's never nearly as funny as what's in the television shorts. As far as the adventure gaming aspects, well, you're still better of with Sam & Max.

If you're a huge fan of the show, it might be worth picking up sometime, just to see if you like it, but I got it for less than $7, so I don't think $12 is the best deal. My advice is wait and see on this one. If you're after another great Telltale point-and-click adventure series, then I recommend Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (currently $18, though you could find it for less). The Puzzle Agent series is more of an adventure-puzzle game, but I love it even more than Sam & Max, so you might check 1 and 2 out at $3 and $6 respectively.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably just get something else.

Question #2: Are any of these games good? http://store.steampowered.com/sub/12341/

Alrighty, I have 7 games from Steam Summer Sale:

• Left 4 Dead 2
• Mass Effect
• SpaceChem
• Metro 2033
• Dear Esther
• Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
• Crysis

I seriously hope I don't have to buy any more games <.<

Are any of the FlatOut games any good?

Only bought 1 and it's Super Meat Boy.. The rest.. meh... I would have gotten the sonic games had they been MAC compatible.

EDIT: Those who haven't should check out Torchlight for only less than $4. GREAT game and gets you familiar with the upcoming TL2 coming over the summer.

I need to get a gaming pc.

So now that it's July 23rd, how longer are yesterdays deals going on? When they're gone, the Steam Summer Sale 2012 is over:(. Can't wait for the Holiday sale in a few months!

It will be a long time until I buy another video game.

I got:
-Sam and Max collection
-Stacking
-Farcry 2
-The Mawsome pack
-Sanctum
-Oblivion
-Bioshock collection
-Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate edition
-Might and Magic Clash of Heroes
-Dungeon defenders
-Dawn of war
-Torchlight
-Metro 2033

I'm getting a new laptop this month so that adds a couple dozen games I couldn't play before.

From the summer sale I got Dragon Age Origin, Legend of Grimrock and Torchlight also got Jade Empire today; 4 RPG's so shouldn't be short of something to play for quite a while

The sale is now over.

I ended up with just the Double Fine Pack (Stacking, Psychonauts, and Costume Quest).
