Zombie Driver is definitely worth $2.50.  Old-skool overhead GTA clone with better physics and more killing.  Steam achievement is extremely easy to pick-up.  I ended up playing for a couple of hours after.  My major complaint being that if you die at the very end of a mission, you have to reset the level completely.  Which isn't horrible if you still got to keep some cash or something from your last run.

Sometimes you don't get logged in on the achievement page. Log out, log in/refresh.

The "My History" tab on my profile stopped listing acheivements a couple days ago. Just "Dec 15 You achieved: ."

I was going to break my rule of not buying stuff for this contest and get Zombie Driver, but Steam decided to reject my credit card for no particular reason (not the first time I've had this problem -- their billing system is a special flower).  I'm going to take it as a sign.

I really enjoyed Zombie Driver and played it quite a bit, no idea why I don't have that achievement already and not at home to fix the problem.

You have to get a high enough score on a certain survival level, you won't get it in story mode.  I played it a bit last night and enjoyed it...but it made me a little motion sick.  I'm not sure why, I'm not one to usually ever get that from video games.

I don't even understand the contest. Seems like you have to complete sets of 4 objectives every so often (whenever they update it) or some shit. Most of which involve you buying another shitty game or two. The whole thing looks like a massive wank, and I am disinterested in their fucking about.

Do thing X on Steam or in one of the games on sale for the two days (possibly before the next sale, I don't remember).  Each is an entry to a drawing for 20 (?) games.  Complete 10 things and log into Steam on the 20th and be entered in to win 100 games.

It's a sale (plus plugging community features) with some drawing thing added on top.  Are you saying the infinitesimal chance at free stuff makes it worse than a normal sale or what?

I'm not sure Azazel reads well. ESL, you know.

I just got to ten.  But only because The last couple days had achievements for Civ5, Empire: Total War, and L4D2.

I actually had a look again after posting and now I get it. Didn't help that it was during the busiest work period of the year and looked different to their typical sales, and more like a competition. I guess I'm just not excited with the presentation, the "contest" format doesn't do anything for me, since I probably have a better chance of winning the actual lottery. I prefer the usual sale format. Then again, Steam sales haven't done a whole lot for me since last christmas's 2 sales, when I bought most of the stuff I was interested in...

Out of all the stuff there, I think it'd only be Zombie Driver I'd be interested in anyway. I'd probably get $2.50 worth of fun out of it. Though I missed it, so it's moot.

I could've downloaded some demo and annoyed someone with spam on their profile, but my gumption got removed. So I guess at 8 boxes filled, I won't be getting 100 games. Oh, well. I guess I got a hat in TF2, if I ever play that again.

[Lantyssa]

Logging in today gives an objective point.  I went ahead and wrote a comment and recommended Portal to finish out the ten.  Everything else I had through normal means.

[Sky]

Nope, came up one short. Logging in on the 20th gives the 11th, not the 10th, point. No biggie, I don't win stuff. I'm quite happy with an un-named f13 Santa bringing me Just Cause 2, it's wicked fun.

I had 7 this morning, and 8 when it rolled around to the "new day", so it counted as both for me. vov
