Hi guys

Posted this under the Hardware bargains thread initially, but ld13 suggested I start a similar thread here instead.

Bought Portal 2 for $5 and Sleeping Dogs for $25 on Steam last night, just though some would want to know. I thought it was pretty cheap.

Was hoping this could be the gaming or gaming-related software bargains 'twin' thread.
 
These steam sales are the devil... but I got to that sweet place this morning where I realized I just dont need any more games... Which probably means I will only buy one or two this time round :)
 
I got myself the Age Of Empires III Complete Set for $9.99. Always wanted to finish it sometime.
Another nice buy if you have never played it, is the Company of Heroes...nice warmup before COH 2 is released :)

Must say Max Payne 3 is also nicely priced $14.99, but I had that already.
Rage was also a steal for $4.99, but I see they made it $11.99 today.

@ave, i agree, i always just buy them cause they are cheap, might not play them even :(

Yeah. Also had a bit of a moment like that when I discovered a game in my library that I don't recall buying. Nothing. Zilch recall.

It does? Did not know it. Runs fine on my 4870 and a pal's 6xxx. Saints row 3 is quite fun, if you are a bit open to something that does not copy GTA to the letter.

I wonder if they've sorted the issues out then- its been what, a year, so perhaps they have....
 
Missed Portal 2, it's back to $9.99.

Picked up Arkham City for $7.49 though.

Thanks guys, haven't been on Steam in a while, only saw the sale now.
 
sigh ... at least im not the only idiot that gets hit with this crap ... every time i see a steam sale
its like kryptonite !!!!! last sale only set me back about $10 but still i couldn't go 1 sale without
getting something!
 
This was my first Steam sale (only got a PC two months ago) and it set me back roughly $12. Since I'm limited when it comes to interwebs at home (have a 10GB cap) mostly went for the indie games. Here is what I got:

Dear Ester
The Binding of Isaac
Pshyconauts
Bastion
Braid

Good haul I think. Now can't wait for the christmas sale!
