official Steam Summer Sale 2012

[dead.cell]

Man, this sale went from looking to be "meh" at the leaks to flippin awesome! :D

I'm trying to be cheap though... Only got Binding of Isaac and L.A. Noire. Total cost: Less than $8. (Y)

Just waiting for Arma II: CO to drop on there hahah.

I hope CO doesnt drop, I bought it at ?20 day 1 :)

Really wishing I'd bought LA Noire yesterday, but I missed it. Oh well. I've probably spent more than I should have already. Great sale this year! I'll still be keeping an eye out to see if a couple games on my wishlist get some extreme discounts during the rest of the sale.

The only things I've bought from the sale so far have been Mafia, and Mafia II. I loved the second game on 360 but never got to finish the first one on the PlayStation 2 due to a bug where I could not load Mission 14. So now I can finish it, even if the game looks dated now. It must have looked excellent for 2002 though. This is my first encounter with the Steam Summer Sale but I'm enjoying it.

i picked up Dear Esther for $2.49 just now. seems like it'll be interesting, even if i only "play" it once.

[tsupersonic]

I am also picking up Dear Esther. First game that I'm buying during the sales!

does dear esther contain more content than the dear esther addon from moddb? I'm confused as that version is free to anyone yet the steam version is chargeable :(

Looks like it was remade for sale on Steam as a standalone. Revisted levels etc, by the reviews.

For ~?2 I'm getting it.

[Noir Angel]

That deal on Assassin's Creed is awful. I picked up a physical copy of the director's cut edition from my local Game for ?3.50 :/

Edit: Just noticed it was for AC:R, my bad :laugh:

[Dark Ride]

The gf and I got some sweet multiplayer games for close to nothing:

• Magicka - ?2.49 EUR
  
• Portal 2 (Two Pack): ?7.49 EUR
  
• Left 4 Dead 2: ?4.99 EUR
  

Lovin' it :D

[ahhell]

The Fear collection is pretty tempting.

I saw this and I am so glad I waited! I'm definitely grabbing this for $10.

Is Metro for $5 a good buy?

I have a decent machine (I7-950 and GTX 580) so hopefully it will run.

Another one saying not available in your region, anyone from us care to tell us what it is? It's in the flash sales section

That system will run the game fine (although not in maximum detail at a constant 50+ FPS).

If you're into FPS-survival horror games, you'll enjoy this. Reviews are decent.

O yeah I really enjoyed it. And you will run it no problem. I had a way less powerful laptop run it fine on Med settings.

I added Rage today mainly to just run it on my system but I do also want to beat the game.

You can get Black Ops for ?12.99 on Amazon UK. The prices for the CoD games on Steam amount to daylight robbery

I wouldn't say amazon is much better of a deal on that considering that's ?12 more than any cod game is worth.

Any of you guys play Limbo? Do you think it is worth a grab at $2.50? I love that it has Mac support as well.

[riceBox]

****ed myself when they brought back GTA pack for $12.50.

it's worth $2.50. good game, but gets extremely frustrating later in the game.
