Steam Summer Sale

[WildCards]

Heads up, I noticed it last night but couldn't get on. Seems to be ok now.

Current highlights seem to be:


Portal 2 - £3.74
Portal & Portal 2 Bundle - £4.49
Darksiders - £4.99
Skyrim - £23.32

Hard Reset for £2.50 Absolute bargain if you love shooters, especially now it's been extended with new content.

I'm waiting for a deal on Arkham City and Max Payne 3.

[WildCards]

Max Payne 3 has 33% off at the minute (£20.09) look in the Rockstar Collection and you'll see it.

[weyland yutani]

The trick with steam sales is to see if they come up in a daily deal or the new flash sales offer where a game might have 66% to 75% off. You can get a whole extra game with the difference, or maybe I'm just a tight arse

Take Batman AC, currently about £13 but I bet it will be around £6 at some point and I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime.

I think all Rockstar games have 50% off, can't remember where I saw it.

[Zad]

Max Payne 3 is on today's special list, 50% off.

[weyland yutani]

Yeah £15 is a great price considering its barely been out 2 months, doubt it will be bettered in this sale. Its a whopping 30GB download tho!

[Zad]

Yeah I think that is as cheap as it will go given how new it is. I'm looking at getting Skyrim, but can't help think it will be on a daily special offer some time in the next few days. I'm currently downloading 24GB of GW2 beta, good job my ISP is unlimited

If anyone else wants a GW2 key, Nvidia are giving them away on a link from their front page. I don't think you have to have an Nvidia card to play it either.

[Malx]

Very tempted with Payday: The Heist for £4.

[WildCards]

Did a bit of spending yesterday;

From Dust
Anno 2070 Pack
Hard Reset (on the recommendation above)
Valve 2011 Pack

Can't see me buying anything else until the Christmas sale, unless something stonking comes up of course.

[Rob P]

Race Injection is £8. Bit old in the tooth now but I never had these Simbin games at the time so am giving it a go. Loads of tracks cars etc to keep me amused

[MattyB_]

Dissapointed I missed Assassins Creed: Revelations for £10

Was thinking about getting ANNO2070, but Ubisoft and their DRM can suck it.

[weyland yutani]

Batman Arkham City is up at 66% off right now

Bought it as well as Max Payne 3 and Left 4 Dead 2, plenty of gaming to last me until the next sales

[Altrezia]

I've bought a few. Batman Arkham Asylum (never played it), Borderlands (only played a few mins at a friends, so picked it up), MW3, and a few other bits and bobs. Fun!

[weyland yutani]

Arkham Asylum is superb, they absolutely nailed Batman as a game character! They say City is just as good, hell I even bought the skins pack, something I never usually fall for.

[MattyB_]

Arkham City is just awesome.

The atmosphere, the game world, the voice acting and characters are absolutely spot on. Mark Hamill will be sorely missed as the voice of the Joker. Probably some of the best animation I've ever seen in a game too - the fluidness of the transitions are impeccable - I especially love the way the fights (and takedowns, and interrogations) take into a account your location and surrounding at that exact moment; like when I smashed a guys face off the concrete banister to finish him off as I was nearby, or hung him over the edge of a tall building to interrogate. Just brilliant.

Oh, and I've just spent another chunk - Fable 3 and Assassin's Creed, to add on to The Walking Dead (get that, by the way, its fantastic so far as an interactive novel).

[WildCards]

Just bought Civ V GOTY for £7.49.

Quite fancy SoaSE: Rebellion if it goes under a tenner aswell.

[tenohfive]

Skyrim is down to £17.37 for the next 7 hours.

Just bought The Walking Dead series, but sort of wish I'd done more reading up. So far it feels very linear and if I'm honest whilst I knew it was story based I thought I'd get to actually still shoot a few zombies. Slightly disappointed, anyone know if it gets better after the first hour or so?

[rsv gone!]

Interesting to hear about Walking Dead. I had been watching that.

[Bullett]

Just Fear3 and Indie Bundle 4 so far. Keep wanting to pull the trigger on the Sega pack but really only interested in Binary Domain and Shogun2

I have too many games from previous sales I've not played yet, but I can't resist a bargin on steam!
