Fixed that for you. I agree that comparing Zelda to Isaac seems unfair since Zelda is so good and Isaac is so not. But Isaac is definitely a boring wannabe game and it's ugly too. Gotta love it when indie games go shovelware.

Stop slyly fixing comments so you can feel superior. All you're doing is showing that you're immature.

Attempting to continue the discussion at hand, the Zelda series has established a formula that is different than what The Binding Of Isaac performs. In a traditional Zelda game, you traverse through a dungeon while solving puzzles to eventually get a new item that is used to complete more puzzles and defeat the final boss of that dungeon. Isaac, instead of following that formula, just creates a random dungeon and allows that player to explore that dungeon. Isaac is more akin to an action-roguelike rather than something of a Zelda-styled nature. A good example of a "Zelda clone" would be Darksiders. Darksiders has a clear solve puzzles/fight, get a new tool, solve puzzles/fight, defeat the final boss design that apes the Zelda nature.

EDIT: Admittedly, I haven't played the original Legend of Zelda game and thus I'm unsure whether Isaac can be considered a clone of that specific game. However, the Zelda series has established that aforementioned formula throughout the ages and it is now a staple of the Zelda design.

Not exactly a Steam sale but on Newegg.com, you can grab certain new graphics cards and they'll email codes for the new Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite for free once they're released via steam.

So I bought one for my new PC. :*

Oh please, stop with the unjustified hatred already. You make it sound like the developers killed your entire family and burned your house down. I'm not exactly sure what your problem is with the game. At least when you're bashing Sony your comments are always witty and humorous.

Binding of Isaac is a great game and I've put a ton of hours into it. It's sold over a million copies and is universally praised by critics. It couldn't be further from shovelware. It's had a DLC expansion, numerous patches, and fan feedback has led to an HD remake of the game being developed for all systems. I wish more video-game designers were as passionate about making and supporting high quality titles like The Binding of Isaac.

I'll think of something...

So Steam just announced that Age of Empires 2 is going to be available in HD in April with multiplayer servers and everything.
That's one of my favourite games of all time so I couldn't be happier. Completely unexpected but great news!

Retro City Rampage is 67% off on Steam until Friday! That's £11.99 to £3.99 (sorry, don't know the US prices) Was going to buy this on WiiWare, but that deal was way too big to turn down.
There's also a bunch of other indie games like Limbo, Binding of Issac, Terraria, Castle Crashers and Braid for more than 50% off, but I already have most of the ones I want from the Christmas sale :)

Primal Carnage is on sale for $5.00.
If you don't know what this game is, allow me to explain.
There are two teams, dinosaurs and humans. They fight. It's basically Jurassic Park and it's hilarious fun.
Go buy it!

Not exactly sale-related, but Capcom and Valve are working to make the main casts from Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2 clash together... in BOTH WAYS! No, they aren't making a new game. Just some extra free(?) DLC for the existing games that don't contribute to their main stories. here are more details. Honestly, I didn't expect this at all :P

Are you eagerly awaiting the time Nintendo of Europe deigns to release Scribblenauts Unlimited in Europe? Give them the finger and buy it on Steam (Midweek Madness) for 66% off at £7.81.

And to think I was going to throw away £50 of my money for Mario, Yoshi and Link characters...

Telltales' The Walking Dead is also reduced at £8.39 with a 60% reduction.

Portal 1 and 2 are for sale 75% off for £4.49 combined, or £1.74 and £3.74 separately. Definitely not to be missed if you haven't played them yet!
Just a question, is it worth getting Portal 1 considering 1) I've already played Portal 2 on PS3 and 2) My computer is absolute garbage for games and would probably struggle a bit to play it?

Probably not. I had a computer that was terrible when they gave Portal out for free. My computer crashed every time I turned Portal on. Yours may be different, but for mine it didn't work at all. I also played Portal after Portal 2 and found it to be very boring in comparison to the sequel. The levels aren't as good and are too easy, plus the game doesn't last very long at all.

I would need to know your system specs... but Portal 1 is a pretty darn old game by now. With settings turned down, I bet you could play that puppy with a 1.5GHZ processor and not much RAM.

if your PC can run Half Life 2 and it can run Portal 1, and even less since nothing happens on Portal 1, so theres no BIG MAPS or a ton of enemies in screen
