If any game is part of a franchise or has DLC, they are pretty much always discounted too. As always, be sure to check this: http://steamdb.info/sales/

To be honest I think I've bought everything I could possibly ever need from past sales. But we'll see.

looks like I am taking more piss breaks at work to update and expand my library. Hoping patience paid off for the Skyrim DLC

there's only a handful of games i'd fancy tbh, but that's what I always say.

That's what you always say, Baird :'(

Unless there are RTS style games, I wont be interested. Was thinking of buying FFVII but not sure what the controls will be like. That's pretty much the make it or break it factor for me with PC games.

FFVII on PC was originally done entirely with the Numpad, and was totally decent. Not sure if they added support for other controls.

In the meantime, use code "GOONCAVE" on Amazon for any video game sales for an additional 15% off. I got AOE 2:HD for $3.50.

Day 1 up, sales from July 11-22.

thx for the update man, phone is weak signal in office and steam is blocked at work. Is that every 10 hours price slashing going on and voting between 3 games to determine the next sale?

damn my wallet to hell this summer

I would recommend Antichamber to anyone who likes puzzle games. One of my favorite recent games.

Ya, updated info on flash sales (every 8 hours). Voting also going on, very likely to be Dishonored at this rate.

good stuff man, appreciate it. been fiending for the sale to begin real bad. Enjoyed last year's plundering

Oh god I knew it- here are the "lesser" games on as much as 90% discount, I have spent over 20 bucks already.

skyrim dlc is going to be mine today

I would wait, as I am currently doing so too. A flash deal is not usually their best.

yeah I see some others waiting. I've waited this long. I can stand a few more days

:y:

Is Ridge Racer: Unbounded any good? At that price I'm kinda tempted. It was supposed to have a lot in common with the Burnout series, IIRC.

I haven't tried Ridge Racer, but if it's anything like Burnout, it'd be worth a try.

I'm waiting for Saints Row The Third: Total Package to hit a flash spot. It is at 50% with a price of 14.99 USD at the moment and felt I should finally play one of those, holding out for 75%.

$1.24 for Dungeons of Dredmor
$4.99 for Avernum: Escape form the Pit

Some pretty good deals right there.

It took 6 mins of the quick look for me to say, "Yes, I'm in."

Dishonored was destroyed by Borderlands 2...I was looking forward to trying Dishonored, perhaps another round

Ya, I need the season pass for Borderlands 2 but I will wait for an inevitable 75% off.

If I didn't get Avernum from a Humble sale, I'd probably be all over that.

I little late in the day, but if anyone hasn't gotten Miami Hotline then GET IT!

Oh, right, forgot about that.

Now that the season is over Defiance the game is 66% off. Not sure if the game will have a 2nd season or if the game will just update for the next one.

I was looking at it but decided "Nah, it's probably pretty dull. Standard ultra-violence."

You say that like it's a bad thing :shifty:

It looks like the kind of game were the ultra-violence is all it has. All and any promotion or discussion I've seen about it has been about nothing other than that. No mention of great humour or creative levels or features.

Good stealth gameplay and amazing soundtrack

I'm wary of the humour label anyway, because people are quick to label any game like this "ironic" when there's nothing to differentiate such a game from the standard fare.

I have the game from a bundle (I think a Humble Bundle), so I'ma check it out at some point. Not actually losing anything for trying it since I already have it. Hopefully Roxer is correct and it has some positives.

Looking at the Rocksmith DLC list, I wish Steam better organised this shit.

Bought Universe Sandbox for £2 because it sounded like you could do stuff like see what happens if a comet hit Earth. Turns out NOTHING happens. No sound, either.

Agreed.

It has a cooky kind of humor. The levels are based on killing people but you have to kill them strategically. You have to plan each kill one by one so as to not be seen because if you are you almost always die. The game is very challenging once you get past the first few levels and very enjoyable for that. I'd say it's very much a puzzle game.
