Did you get sucked into plunking down another $12.50 for the package with all the DLCs? Those bastards got my wallet good on that ruse.

Street fighter: Arcade Edition is on the flash sale for 10 bucks. Perfect for those who want to play SF after last weekend's EVO.

What's the game in the bottom right corner for today and yesterday? It shows not available in your region for me

What do you see on the right side? On top right is "The Community's Choice", determined by a vote from previous selections below. The bottom right is, usually, for the daily deals. For the summer sale, it's been replaced by multiple items in the "Flash Sales". Currently:

Alice $4.99 (19.99) 11 hours left
Football Manger 2012 $7.49 (29.99) 9 hours left
Alan Wake $7.49 (29.99) 9 hours left
Bejeweled 3 $4.99 (19.99) 1 hour left


EDIT: It looks like your region blocked? I'm curious if using a Proxy DNS service, would change that. Have you ever used, or are subscribing to Unblock-US.com? It seems to work for a lot of things... I wonder if that includes Steam.

SkinnyPupp
07-13-2012, 10:07 PM
This is what it looks like for me:

A proxy would work, but I would only do it if there is a deal I wanted.

You'll like Arkham City a lot more. More to do, but it still has some repetition.

The next voting includes Bastion at 75% off... Might actually buy it.

Regret buying Payday even though it was for 75% off. Game is pretty boring, and should have invested that $5 in buying L4D2 or something

07-18-2012, 01:01 AM
I totally agree with you fcukedd. Once I got to the second level I realized it wasn't that great of a game.

I find it a pretty challenging game. Takes a lot of teamwork to get through the levels. The harder levels definitely requires upgraded weapons or you won't survive.

That said, I think $5 on L4D2 is a much better buy.

07-18-2012, 05:17 PM

Company of Heroes for 2.50 is a great deal. Not so sure about the expansions though.

Thinking of getting the Theif pack as well.

I love how well Gods & Kings plays in multiplayer. Vanilla Civ 5 was a trainwreck with constant disconnects (even on LAN, ugh). I got 4 friends together for G&K after the sale and we've been playing a marathon-huge game on Shuffle map over the last week or so. I wish it supported more than 8 civs, though.

SkinnyPupp
07-24-2012, 02:38 AM
What I do is ask myself if I would play the game if it was free. Generally the answer is no, but sometimes it's yes, so I pick it up for sale.

I rarely pay full price for a game anymore. Would rather wait a year for the "AAA" titles. Smaller games are often cheaper and shorter, which suits my lifestyle these days, and better anyway.
