Goddamnit.

I finally caved on DA Monday, because of the constant "zomg this is awesome" in the DA thread.  I knew I should have waited.

But that Captain's salami tray was tight, yo. You plump for the roast pork loin, dogg?

Does anyone know if the standard edition of Dragon Age on Steam still includes the Blood Dragon Armor and The Stone Prisoner? It's not listed on the standard version page but the way they list it on the Deluxe it leads me to believe it may be. Need a 2nd copy of this for the wife.

Also, though I may never find time to play it... is a romp through Far Cry 2 worth 10 bucks? I got half way through the first before I got bored.

Lastly... Osmos? 2 bucks, why not right? Don't know anything about this one.

Tis' the season to buy games I'll never get to, but at least via Steam I don't end up with sealed boxes mocking me from a shelf.

Both the Blood Dragon Armor and Stone Prisoner are in any new version of the game (source).  The DDE just adds Warden's Keep (which is pretty good, but is only $7 by itself) and a couple of items.

With my unexpected adoration of Torchlight, I'm really considering the THQ pack, the only thing that kind of holds me back would be the plethora of RTS games in there.

Too bad you don't own any of the games purchased through Steam so you can't do that.

Even if you "owned" the collection the license terms probably wouldn't let you re-sell individual parts.

Well, I'm not in the US. But wouldn't that apply to sale of the whole collection and the license is still likely to limit sale or transfer of sub-components? I'm fairly sure when I bought a collection of RPG games that was the case.

In general it certainly is a disadvantage of steam I hadn't fully considered though, because I don't tend to trade in or resale my old games.

Nope. You own the discs as the first owner, you're free to do whatever you want with them including resale.  Autodesk just had a ruling against them on this very topic.

Jesus steam knows how to make me give up money.

FYI, I think the steam sale is bugged, cause it says the PvZ sale ends on the 26th and I just bought it today for $5 still  awesome, for real

Protip: They pulled a reverse-Dragon Age with Cities XL.  Both editions are half-off, but they only listed the Limited Edition on the sale page.

Also, fuck Valve and their amazing sales.

I actually bought Osmos for $2 (pretty much because it was only $2) and it's a cute little game. Kind of reminds me of the cell stage in Spore, which was easily the best part of that game.

Just bought the THQ pack.  I'm not really a fan of non-traditional RTSes (Dawn of War, CoH), but I couldn't pass up Titan Quest, Red Faction Guerilla or Saint's Row 2 for that price.

New sales up.  Nothing eye-popping with this set, mostly because I own a lot of it.  Might bite on Trine at $10 though.
