I'm not going to bother with my prettypost(TM) version today because all the sales are repeats from over the week. This is kinda odd since they usually do that at the end of the sale, but the page promises new sales tomorrow.

Yeah, that was lame with a whole week to go. Maybe they ran out of ideas.

Or maybe they just going over the best sellers of this week? Tomorrow starts week 2 of the sale.

I have spent so much during this steam sale, and I've gotten so many games that I'll likely never get around to playing (usually games in bundles).

My work should have an option for direct deposit into Steam.

 

[SimuLord]

Two absolute must-buys today:

Mount and Blade Complete (the original game plus Warband, although you really only need the latter) for $9.99.

And, if you don't have it yet...

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition for $4.99. Five bucks for a game that nearly eight years on from its original 2003 release is still THE standard bearer for modern-era "standard" city builders (MUCH better than City Life or Cities XL, although to be fair Cities XL 2011 doesn't completely suck like its predecessor...it's just "serviceable", while SC4 is "great".)

I say "standard" to differentiate SimCity and its descendants from Tropico (the best city builder ever made) or games set in other eras like Children of the Nile, Pharaoh, Caesar, CivCity Rome (an underrated gem from Firefly Studios and Firaxis that's available for 99 cents as part of the Steam sale).

How is Mount and Blade? From what I've seen it seems like it's kind of like Oblivion with decent combat. Is that close? If so then it's a definite pick up for me.

It's more like Elite on horseback with RPG elements and decent combat.

Sounds cool, I'll pick it up soon.

More on topic, I've acquired Serious Sam ($10) AaaaAAAAaaAAAA A reckless disregard for gravity (about $3 I think) and Blood Bowl ($20).

I can't say for Serious Sam (It's now done downloading) but AaaAAAaAAA A R.D.F.G. was massively entertaining for it's price, and Blood Bowl was fun, but it's very hard for me. Maybe I just need some practice.

 

[ham and red bull]

I have bought way too much stuff the last couple of days:
Minecraft (not from steam but still, it's awesome!
Super Meat Boy (also pretty fun)
Machinarium (haven't spend a lot of time playing it, but looks fun)
Just Cause 2 (Micheal Bay the game, still love it though)
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (also suprisingly good)
And just for the lolz Metal Gear Solid 3.

Sorry I didn't keep up with yesterday's sales. I'm fighting a nice cold, so I've pretty much just been laying in bed watching TV instead of games or posting.

..is placing a link more convenient? Hell,why bother? I cannot log-on to Steam without being slapped in the face with one.

 

[Signa]

Because I'm rarely closing Steam on my PC, I hardly ever get to see those nags. I assume there are others out there who also leave their PCs running 24/7.

To be honest though, I'm starting to question the necessity of running this thread. Most anyone who is going to buy games on Steam already knows to look for themselves. Things might be different if this place wasn't such a haven for Valve fanboys.

 

[Signa]

I'll post today's deals later. I think this thread will be a little more relevant if I post the deals a bit after they start so they are a reminder to those who forget to look at the beginning of the day. I actually aimed my last two posts at the 12hr remaining mark.

The reason I'm posting now is because I wanted to give a special nod to this awesome puzzle game that has me addicted.

$1.50

It's a super casual game, but if you are a fan of games like Picross or Sudoku, then then game is for you. Normally, it goes for $10, and though that's a good price for the potential game play hours you can get from this, I think $5 would be a far more fair price (I feel like Steam is turning me into a cheapskate!). Since it isn't even $5, but $1.50, it's pretty much a must-get game as far as I'm concerned.

Hmm, Oblivion's on sale for $10. I have it on 360, but are the mods really all that good for it?

I like the mods for Oblivion because they pretty much fix everything that was blatantly wrong with the game. For example, I have no idea how you were supposed to master Mercantile with vanilla Oblivion. With mods, you can sell one arrow at a time in a stack of a thousand and just use a repeating button macro to get the job done "naturally". Otherwise, you would have to sell over 10,000 times through the course of your game. The interface just was not designed for that. Trying to do so would make you stab a knife through your brain.

So, it's worth it?

 

[Hashime]

I bought Burnout Paradise, it is so much better on the computer, Better graphics, good racing wheel Less mic spamming.

 

[Signa]

So, it's worth it?

I'm going to say yes because you're implying you liked it on the 360, and it can only be better on the PC. Personally, it's only worth $5 to me, not $10, because I feel that Oblivion is a piece of shit compared to Morrowind. Also, I already own the game and its expansions, so dropping $10 to get a digital download version is a bit frivolous.
