Well, after 5 days of steam sale kicking my ass, yesterday I didn't buy a single thing. Though I am only looking for 2 certain games at this point

Same here, yesterday was a quiet day. Not much left that I am looking for either at this point.

Sins of a Solar Empire on sale would be nice, but unless something else sucks me in I think I am pretty much done.

I was wondering how often someone has bought one of their $50 publisher packs. It seems like they wouldn't sale very well because most people will already have a few of the games in the pack, plus maybe not even care about some of the other games in the pack. Yet, the pack sales are always a big part of Steams sale. I would rather see more individual sales.

Anyone played Spec Ops the Line? Wasn't really on my radar until Yahtzee raved about it last week. Any other opinions?

played the demo, wasn't impressed. yahtzee raved about this game? wow...doesn't seem like something he would rave about...

"sell"

And it's most likely there to attract new customers to steam. Or even just for people who want to gift part of the package deals to others.

Almost voted for Test Drive Unlimited 2, just because I don't have it. Then I realized I should be voting for games that are GOOD, rather than voting for games I don't have. So I voted for Hot Pursuit 2.

Do you guys think Bioshock 1&2 for $10 total is a good deal? Has it ever been cheaper than that?

They may have each of them at $5 before but I don't think at the same time (I could be wrong). If you don't have them and you are thinking of playing them, I'd say it's a good price.

Activate on steam? Will check it out. Wonder if available in Canada?

I'm from Canada as well and I wanted to buy the Civ IV pack they sold a couple months ago. I was denied because of my Canadian address. Soooo, I put in an american address and was allowed to give them my money. They are digital goods anyways, what does it even matter.

So Canadians (or anyone else for that matter) can order from amazon.com if they enter an American address.

It was $7.49 from Amazon.com not too long ago:

http://camelcamelcamel.com/2K-Games-41039k-Dual-Pack1/product/B008235PQQ

If you can get in with somebody buying a 4-pack of both games through Steam, you could split the cost up to $3.75 per copy of each game, I believe.

Edit: the 4-pack is only available for Bioshock 2, so you could save a whopping $1.50 if you buy the 4-pack and offload the extras for $3.75 each.

Clearly not what I said. I simply agree with the previous poster that original Torchlight beating Oblivion GOTY is hard to believe.

Why? Oblivion has been on sale many times, plus it got some bad reviews for the leveling system. Torchlight has been getting a lot of attention lately with the release of Torchlight 2.

I don't understand what you guys are arguing about. Torchlight won because it's clearly the better game.

I'd like to get Anno 2070, but $25 is still too pricey for me.

Cities XL 2012 is a very mediocre city-builder, has lots of technical problems and not a lot of staying power.

SimCity 4 is the only logical choice here.

Ditto. It's been on my wishlist for months, but never seems to be on any significant sale. I'm hoping that they're saving deals like that for the last day or two.

Possibly a response to amazon.
