Not much to say on these. I watched the Mini Ninjas videos and it looks really good. Gyromancer looks like a bad Bejeweled/Puzzle Quest clone. I remember hearing the reviews were kinda poor on it, however not too poor for this sale.

Both are available individually, at $15 and $7.50, but both seem like a ripoff at that price.

Both games have enough reputation of their own that I shouldn't have to say anything other than it's cheaper to buy both games than just Batman by itself.

Looks like a really good, realistic sniper simulator. It's metascore is 76 which is quite high for a $2 game.

I hate that Steam fucks my currency. That deal should bring Sniper Elite down to £1.30. It's £2. That's a bad example, but it makes everything so expensive!

Dragon Age Origins Digital Deluxe features Blood Dragon Armor, The Stone Prisoner, Bergen's Honor, Final Reason, Grimoire of the Frozen Wastes, Warden's Keep and much more.

Looks like a pretty good deal. I've avoided buying/looking at DA because I know by the time I actually get around to playing it, all the DLC will be released in a platinum pack for $20. Everyone I know has played it, it seems, and they all said it's an amazing game.

A non-deluxe version is available for $33.50, but it only comes with Blood Dragon Armor & The Stone Prisoner

Thanks for keeping up with this, Signa!
I picked up Sniper Elite, and it was worth the two bucks.
Don't think I'll be grabbing EQ, though.
I can't afford to lose much more of my already incredibly small life.

Well, that was fast. The new AVP is already on sale. Personally, I'd just pick up the old one for $5, but it sounds like that one while updated for modern PCs, also was a gimped version of the game. I can't remember for sure (too lazy to check) but I thought there was no MP in AVP2000. Anyway, this game has been selling hard despite some of its low ratings, so have fun!

@Neonbob:
Thanks for the complement. This all started as a post to share one of my favorite under-appreciated games at an incredible deal, and now I feel like Valve should be throwing me some cash for practically advertising for them They've added some features on the home page (or I just never noticed them) that have helped find the deals easier. This ends up being just 10 minutes of my time twice a week or so to share some potential fun with fellow gamers.

And yeah, EQ and any pay-per-month MMO sucks balls IMO. This thread is a great example of why. I can spend so little money on a ton of variety of games, and I won't get suckered into paying over and over again for the same thing. I still post the deals though: just because I hate MMOs doesn't mean others have to not hear about something they want.

Aaah, my second favorite game from last year. Though the main 5 campaigns can be beat easily, there is a lot to do afterwords. Namely, VS mode (which I find about 5x more fun than L4D's VS mode due to the new Infected) and user maps. Some of the best maps I've played were user maps in L4D, so there is a lot of promise for future campaigns to come around for L4D2.

If you are a fan of Diablo and haven't played Torchlight yet, then you owe it to yourself to throw down the $5 and try it out. You know a game is at least passable when Yahtzee doesn't fully grind its face into the dirt when he reviews a game. My favorite part is how they give you a pet to load all your crap items onto so you can send it to town to get your gold for you. It really breaks up the useless town-runs that so many RPGs suffer from. The only real downside to this game is that it's single player only, and hack-'n'-slash RPGs are always better when played co-op.

The Quake series has been around for years, and I doubt that more than a few of you have not played it. It was pretty much the oldest version of what we now know as the modern FPS that I've played. Anything older (like doom) used 2D engines and just didn't play the same way. Anyway, the whole sale is for 50% off, so if you want the titles individually, they range from $2.50 to $10

 

[Daedalus1942]

I'd be up for sharing my steam I.D. if anyone out there wants to play some Tf2.

I also just downloaded L4D today, I know it's late, and would love some people to play with on that as none of my friends want to fork out £25.

I'm happy for you to add me if you want to play L4D 1 or 2.
My steam ID is always either [ESC]Daedalus1942 or [Esc]Second Stage Turbine Blade.
Add either of those two if the other doesn't work.

I know NOTHING about this game other than it's a strategy game and it's on super secret sale. I had to dig a little to see it because it wasn't on the side banner like Quake is now.

$25 (4-pack for $75)
As I said in my comments for L4D2, I had a favorite game last year, and this was it. As much as there is to criticize in Borderlands, I just can't stop playing it. I took a 2 month break after playing it non-stop for 2 months, and I'm stuck playing it again just this last week. I've finished it 9 times now, and I still want to play more. If that doesn't say $25 dollar game, then I don't know what does.

Just so I can say I didn't completely ignore it, Modern Warfare 2 is doing a free weekend. I wasn't going to post that because it wasn't a sale, but then they decided to slap a 15% off sales on it. $60 down to $51. Big. Fucking. Whoop. Still not a sale IMO, it's just selling for what it should have.

I've heard decent things about this one. I picked it up awhile ago when it was on sale and read some positive feedback on it then. Sadly, this one is far on my back-log of games, so who knows when I'll get around to playing it.

Well, it's here, AVP2000 for a retardedly cheap sale. Enjoy it while it's stupidly inexpensive.

Not heard too much about this one, but I remember some rave reviews back in the day.

The Force Unleashed requires a dual core processor with a Radeon HD 2900 or GeForce 8600 or better. Please check system requirements before purchasing.
This was the first Star Wars Jedi game that came out that I didn't play. It sounded nicely consolized, which would also explain the high system reqs because of lazy devs. Still a sale is a sale, so here it is.

Another "oh holy shit sale!"

$2.50 Four-pack for $7.50
I love this game a lot. It's a very simple and silly third-person-shooter where all the characters are balls. You get a bunch of weapons to unlock, and each has two elemental modes to deal more damage against enemy targets. TOTALLY worth the $2.50.
