Haha, I love the how they are advertising this sale.

Hmm, I'm eying that THQ pack, I own too much from most of the other packs.

Anybody know if any of the other games made by 1C are any good?  I've only played the 2 Kings Bounty games (which I really liked).

The THQ pack is nuts, unfortunately I own a lot of it already, or I'd be even more tempted. 

I think i'll finally get Trine for 4 bucks though.

My god, I still haven't recovered from Christmas, and there's a ton of stuff in the $2-5 range in the normal sales that I'd actually buy.  This kinda terrifies me.

I have no idea, but when King's Bounty gold pack is $10 and the entire 1c pack is $20, I have no problem gambling $10. I can't imagine not getting $10 worth of fun out of so many unknown games where some look like they could be fun.

I'm tempted by the 1C pack... The Star Wolves are supposed to be pretty interesting, and Space Rangers 2 is Katauri's (of King's Bounty Fame) previous game. The rest looks like russian shovelware, but who knows... I guess I have time to think about it.

I've gathered a few Steam games I haven't played at all (Ghost Master, Evil Genius, Most of the Aliens / Zombie shooters, the Overlords...) and some of them weren't even part of packs, so I try to refrain myself, but I always end up buying more and more !

I've heard good things about the Space Rangers games, but it doesn't look to me like they are actually in the collection?

It's kinda weird, I don't see the 1C collection as a deal anymore, it's back to like 70 euros...Most of the individual games are still 75 % tough...

The Witcher is $6.79 on the sale and doesnt appear to be highlighted anywhere.
Picked it up along with the Overlord pack for $11.29.

Hmm, I just read the description for Space Rangers 2:
Quote
Future. We write the year 3300. Our galaxy is invaded by dominators, the combat robots that lost control under influence of Klissan technologies. A coalition of five allied races: Maloqs, Pelengs, Humans, Faeyans and Gaalians stakes on space rangers called up to root out dominators.
With a pitch like that, it must be good!   awesome, for real

Puzzle Kingdoms is $1.  It's the ugly stepbrother of puzzle quest (literally, some of the devs had a hand in it), that got no press at all.  I paid much more than that for the DS version of it, and I felt that was money well spent.  It's a good, but slightly ugly game, and I'm pretty sure there's a demo out there somewhere for it, although maybe not on steam, but at $1, does that even matter?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/23700/


edit:  space rangers 2 is totally worth the pittance they want for it.  It's a space sandbox game sorta in the vein of star control 2/starflight.
edit edit:  wow, the steam page for it has the worst description + screenshots ever.  There are only shots of the ground battle portions of the game, which are the worst part to begin with.   Go look at the ones for space rangers 1 instead, since that's closer to reality.

I ended up buying Street Fighter 4 of all things.  That Marvel v Capcom 3 thread had me all in the mood for a fighting game and I was thinking..oh I'll wait til it goes on sale.  It wasn't a huge sale, but good enough (33% off I think) since I was already thinking about it.

Damn this thread.  I just bought:

Tropico 3
Space Rangers Pack
The Witcher
Trine
Overlord Pack

Not bad for 30 bucks.  Tropico 3 was the most expensive at 10 bucks since I missed the last sale.

5 bucks for Darwinia + Multiwinia, Defcon, and motherfuckin' UPLINK.

Uplink is worth it alone for five bucks.

Thanks for the heads up on Puzzle Kingdoms.  Snagged that and the Overlord complete pack.  I wonder if I'll like Overlord.

Here's another one that's retardedly cheap during the sale.

Ghost Master, $.95
http://store.steampowered.com/app/6200/

Sorta of budget sim-ghost game, far as I can tell.  I haven't played it, took a quick peek at reviews, it appeared to be doing okay, and bought it before someone raised the price back up or it sold out because it's stupidly cheap.  I can't personally vouch for this one though, yet.

So much to buy.  Though I'm getting annoyed when I click on the "save 50% on all xxx company titles here" button, scroll down the list, see a game I'm interested in, only to find it is not getting a discount for some reason.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Quick, Lum (or somebody else who might know), is Arsenal of Democracy any good?  I loved HOI2.

You know, I was going to be a dick and say "Do you really need to ask", but then I went digging.  There's a director's cut update for free that un-censor's it on Steam.  The base game however is the censored US enhanced edition.

Is there a reason not to get the Overlord pack? Fuck you Steam.

I'm getting Steamjaded. A few things are tempting, but nothing made me pull the trigger.

Anno 1404 Gold, as I never got the expansion...but $20 is the expansion price anyway. The THQ pack is nice, but I own a lot of it and RTS isn't my favorite (can you pause and give orders in CoH and DoW?). Several things were $5-10 off tempting, like Bioshock 2. Looking forward to the dailies, I guess.

I did pull Indigo Prophecy off my wishlist.
maybe Gothic 3
If you haven't played Gothic 2 Gold, it's by far the better game.
