I just got Sonic Generations yesterday and I have barely played Limbo for more than 10 minutes (busy wrapping up New Vegas and DLCs). I have not even touched the rest of the games I bought (Tropico 4, Total War, SR3, Arkham City, etc.).

This sale really needs to end as even now I'm eyeing Terraria. :whiste:

i just grabbed the gothic bundle. You are right though this needs to end!

No kidding. I just picked up the Gothic Universe bundle (comes with Gothic 1, 2, and 3) for $4.99. Figured I'd save a few bucks by skipping #4, as I hear it's pretty terrible.

I played the demo for Dawn of War II, and I don't know... not really sure if I like it much. I might be a bit biased since I prefer StarCraft over it.

DoW2 is like Company of Heroes. I personally love the games, but some find them repetitive. The online is good though and really popular.

Man, it's nice to see Killing Floor is based on such old tech that I have to play it in windowed mode or else it makes my computer "go into a seizure." :|

The single player campaign in DoW2 (the original) was very disappointing to me (whereas I loved CoH). It's little more than a Diablo-type Action RPG, except you control a handful of marine squads instead of a single character. You romp around the same exact handful of maps with the only difference being a different boss to beat at the end. Got very boring and repetitive about halfway through.

Solar 2 and "AAaaAAA for The Awesome" are two very interesting unique games. I think I will bite on Solar 2. My backlog is going to start getting ridiculous though.

I haven't received anything besides coal since the first set of gifts though. I just want 75% Portal 2 since I missed it at the beginning!

Xmas isn't the only time of the year they do this right? When is the next one?

The whole reason why i'm doing all these challenges is that portal 2 coupon like yousaid. I just finished portal 1 on christmas day and it was a blast to play.

You might get a second chance at the Portal 2 daily deal price on 1/1/12 (last day of the Holiday Sale). If I recall from last year, they re-ran some of the daily sales on the last day.

Finally Assassins Creed Brotherhood. I have been waiting for that one for a while. Also considering Serious Sam 3 BFE, but I might wait for the 75% off sale.

lulz Homefront is way too expensive still.

Paypal's douchebaggery is actually saving me some money for this sale...thanks I guess.

And some truly nice people stepped up to help me get a bit of my Steam fix :wub:

Now that TF2 achievement is today I tried it again, and selfkilling on offline mode is definitely NOT getting the achievement.

Section 8: Prejudice is an awesome multiplayer game. Unfortunately it died way too quickly. Hopefully there will be some people online today because of the sale.

Haven't bought much this sale surprisingly. I bought so many other games through the year that there's not a whole lot catching my eye that I don't already have. Was thinking of getting the new AC game but by the time I get to it I know I'll find it cheaper. Guess it's a good thing I'm not spending more money this month

was thinking about getting Serious Sam, 20 bucks aint bad.

Also AC:Brotherhood seems decent @ 5$

I also am thinking Tomb Raider, heard those last few were great adventure games

Thanks for the tip rivethead. I bit on Solar 2, now Space Pirates and Zombies also has my attention at the same price, and they look like similar games lol.
