Steam Sale Offers Solutions to Summer Perils

[Enigmers]

I hope the Sam & Max games go on sale, I could do with a few more of them.

$4.50 for both Overlord games? wow

 

[Sebenko]

Yeah, I saw. Bought the Witcher Enhanced Edition for £3.75

Dibs on that! I can play it later (I've got too many games now, really). I still haven't finished all the games I bought during the last Christmas Sale. Gods that was insane.

Y'know, I feel kinda wrong getting the game that cheap. Maybe I should send CD Projekt a fiver.

Also, I love the little warning at the top.

"WARNING: Riding a bike is dangerous and can result in groin pain, injury, or death."

Is it wrong that I read these warnings in the voice of Glados?

Wish Operation Flashpoint was on sale. I realllllly wanna play that game but $30 isn't too enticing.

On top of the usual sale deals, Valve is going to be selling games at insanely cheap prices in 24-hour deals. Today's list includes:

? BioShock 2 - $14.99 (reg $29.99)
? Trine - $4.00 (reg $19.99)
? Killing Floor - $5.00 (reg $19.99)
? Aion - $19.99 (reg $39.99)
? Colin McRae DiRT 2 - $10.00 (reg $39.99)
? Overlord Complete Pack - $4.50 (reg $29.99)
? Counter-Strike: Source - $6.80 (reg $19.99)
? Unreal Deal Pack - $13.60 (reg $39.99)

Those were actually yesterday, ended 2 hours ago... Unless they end at different times for different time zones?

Edit: Ninjas... >_>

Thanks for the head's up. Those were the games listed at the time I wrote the article; I've gone back in and updated the post with today's list

I love the warnings on the top and bottom of the sale page. Why is Valve so awesome? I'm still trying to figure it out.

It sucks that I missed yesterday's sales; I was really hoping to get BioShock 2 cheap. Oh well. I'd pick up RE5, but I already played it and the PC version doesn't have the expansions that the consoles got as DLC.

For anyone who's interested, Indigo Prophecy (by the same people who made Heavy Rain) is only $3.39. Ghostbusters is also only $4.00.

[GrandmaFunk]

beyond the daily sales there's also ongoing sales for the publisher packs till july 4th

as well as totally random sales, like 50% off Mount&Blade:Warband for example

By the end of this month I will be broke again, damn Steam still owns my life

 

[manythings]

I feel like a kid in a candy store with no money... then the candy store mocks me... then it follows me home to keep mocking me...

Grand Theft Audio: Episodes from Liberty City - $14.99 (reg $29.99)

I've never heard of that game. Is it new?

 

[Ganthrinor]

THE SUN IS TRYING TO KILL ME.

THE SUN IS TRYING TO KILL ME.

THE SUN IS TRYING TO KILL ME.

THE SUN IS TRYING TO KILL ME.

THE SUN IS TRYING TO KILL ME.

STEAM WILL SAVE ME.

You know, you try to update an article so it's got some more relevant information, and people just ***** ***** *****.

Oh now I was just kidding! You know I love you hard-working folks here at the Escapist

 

[Corven]

So many people are taking part in this that the servers are too busy for me to download the game I just bought.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Dammit I've got 85 games on my Steam account, and I sense I'm going to break the hundred before this month is up.

I've done one thing as a nod towards sensible spending however. I've gone thru and made a list of the games I'm interested in buying, then I'll buy them if they show up on the daily sales. If they don't then, well, I'll buy the leftovers on the last day of the sale, so I don't buy something at £10 to see it drop to £3 the day after

Also, Puzzle Kingdoms, the sequel to Puzzle quest? £15.99 down to 80 pence (95% off!) ? AVP for 80 pence? how can you not?

Witcher is £5.45, and I can get it on disc delivered for a fiver, but balls to that, as Steam is so much more convenient than messing with discs.

 

[V8 Ninja]

God do I love Valve's sense of humor. =D

 

[Stormz]

and of course I have no way to get in on this. God damn it.
