anyone pick up any games from it yet? tons of great deals.

so far, i've picked up...

the binding of isaac (zelda clone) $1.24
portal bundle (portal 1 and 2) $6.24

plenty of other games i'm also looking at that i am thinking of pulling the trigger on, but those 2 were too good to pass up.

I personally have only seen a few things I'm interested in and while they're only a few bucks each not really driven to get them.

DocSavage · « **Reply #2 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:48:07 PM »

Scoregasm.

Astro Tripper, Mutant Storm Reloaded, and Really Big Sky also look tempting..

DocSavage · « **Reply #3 on:** July 14, 2012, 07:39:03 PM »

AUDIOSURF. Must own.

For barely 2 and a half dollars, it feels like piracy.

DocSavage · « **Reply #4 on:** July 14, 2012, 08:21:02 PM »

Went a little nuts on purchases..

Audiosurf, Super Meat Boy, Lone Survivor. Add in Scoregasm, and Killing Floor from last week, and these discounts can add up quick.

The Portal two pack is a good deal.

I already have LFD2. Played it with BB a few times.

success0123

If you like zombie killing games, you can't go wrong on Killing Floor too.

And it would give me an excuse to invite more than one friend to a server, since I went to the trouble of opening up ports for it.

just got batman arkham city with the harley quinn dlc. i was waiting for this one to go on sale, now i think i'm probably done buying games haha.

DocSavage · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2012, 02:21:19 PM »

What about Gotham City Imposters?

I love TF2, and an AA inspired TF2 clone sounds like fun.

DocSavage · « **Reply #11 on:** July 15, 2012, 10:11:38 PM »

Killing Floor is 4 bucks for the next three hours!

Pick it up, and add success0123, and we can kill zombies.

It really is worth 4 bucks. Hell, it's worth a lot more than that..

DocSavage · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2012, 11:32:15 PM »

Trine 2 for under 4 dollars. Sweet.

Also got Binding of Isacc package with music and expansion, by the makers of Super Meat Boy.

RealMarchHare · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2012, 04:09:02 PM »

Just bought Audiosurf and KotOR. I actually own KotOR but loaned it to somebody years ago and never got it back : /

I've bought a LOT during the last four days but tapered off a bit. Nothing I'm seeing is really interesting me. I'm holding out for the Unreal/Quake/Doom packs and Dreamfall collection. I managed to get the entire Half-Life franchise (hey, I haven't played them!) for $10 and grabbed The Witcher 1 & 2 for $17. I got gifted quite a few games from friends and DocSavage sent me a guest pass for Killing Floor (I sent him Frozen Synapse).

DocSavage · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2012, 09:15:17 PM »

I have one more guest pass, if anyone wants to kill zombies with me (Or just try the game.)

Was debating giving it to a friend in India, but his internet is so slow the demo would probably be over by the time he downloaded it.

DocSavage · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2012, 04:21:54 AM »

Trine 2 has a pretty good co-op experience..

Being a platform game, my friends 2000 ping is hardly noticeable. ^_^

Pffft.

Pretty much everyone born after 1940 owns some kind of personal computer.

Also a fyi, if you ever talk a friend into buying something, while telling them not to buy something else, don't go on and on about how great the games you don't own are. Just let a friend talk me into buying F.E.A.R. 3 for the co-op, and now he's telling me 1 is the shit.

It pretty much forces you to buy this super awesome game on top of the less awesome one you just bought, even if you really don't want to spend them money (Ok, I've had my eye on F.E.A.R. and would have bought it regardless, but still..)

I picked up KoTOR as well because my old disk version doesn't play so well with Vista these days. For $2.50, it was worth a try! My stepdaughter really enjoys playing it.

RealMarchHare · « **Reply #20 on:** July 17, 2012, 01:22:03 PM »

F.E.A.R. was amazing. Another game a loaned to somebody and never saw again

I loaded up KotOR just to at least see it. I don't know if it's because my monitors native resolution is 1600 x 900 and the game only goes up to 1024 x 768 but the image looks a little...odd at times. Dunno

Same here, my disc copy would install and I followed instructions online to get it to install on Windows 7, but it wouldn't load. So I just grabbed the Steam version and it boots right up.

oh i thought the steam summer sale was for video games. didn't realize it was sales on personal computers. my bad.

DocSavage · « **Reply #23 on:** July 17, 2012, 07:37:14 PM »

How about Max Payne 1 and 2?

From a gameplay perspective, I'm not finding much reason to go with Max when I already have F.E.A.R. The cheesy action hero stuff could be fun, but even that pales before the formers atmospheric gameplay.

Few mainstream computers are gaming computers.

Yet, people game on them.
