In Steams plan to make sure I never have any spare money, they have announced daily deals. Starting today, Steam offers a new 24-hour deal, every single day. Look for the deals each day on the front page of Steam. Or follow us on twitter or Facebook for instant notifications wherever you are!  |

Delicious. I can't keep up with my steam backlog of games as it is, but that won't stop me.

Hm, I think the life of my wallet depends greatly on if these will be good new sales or just old repeats....

Some of these days I will own all games and Steam can''t hurt my wallet anymore. Who is laughing then, eh Steam?

I would love some expanded wishlist functionality. Say, for example, I wanted a copy of Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate edition but I only want to pay $20 for it. I should be able to setup my wishlist with a "buy" amount and whenever the price drops below threshold Steam shoots me off an email/SMS. That would help a lot for me, as it seems that I always miss the deals I really want because I'm out of town.

The fact that I haven't touched half my steam games is making me more resistant to steam sales now. The frequency of them lessens the impact as well. I often think I'll wait till the next inevitable sale if I'm on the fence about a game which I don't have time for currently, less and less I'm buying games just because they are cheap and I may want to play them later.

Just how cheap the sale prices are will have a lot to do with how much I pony up. Along with whether I have any interest in the game. I dunno, I kind of feel like I've already got the majority of things I'd be interested in from them...

This is cool. There are a few things floating around that I'd still love to at least pick up to hopefully play. However, I seem to have more money than time nowadays, as I haven't bought a game for less than full price since their Christmas sale.  |

OpFlash on sale, I got to store page to watch the video. You already own this game. Hm, how about that?
There are definitely things on the wishlist I'd like to see some deep discounts on, this could get crazy.

Singularity for $10 today. Any good, or just another FPS?

Supposed to be decent, actually. Made by Raven, so similar to the new Wolf (which is surprisingly good, I find), but a bit newer so a bit shinier. I just got it for 360 else Id probably pick this up. |

Singularity ranges from neat to awesome, depending on how much you like games with Soviets. It's kind of like a poor man's Bioshock. Has multiple endings and they're all pretty good.

It feels a lot like a bioshock-portal hybrid. There are puzzles the be overcome with physics from your magic powerglove, and there are mutant things to shoot in the face. It's a nice combo.

I ma have even picked it up on PC as well, given the feedback. When I went to check out the Steam deal there was something about a trucking sim or some such instead... |

The truck game was the daily deal, Singularity was one of the Midweek Madness deals, I think. |

Just did a search for it - it's not there at all. Must be one of those This Game is not For You(r Region) things.
I guess if I see it mentioned here again for cheap, I'll ask about getting it gifted.

Singularity was a nice zip through, well worth the ten bucks if you like whats already been described about the game.

Make sure to get the complete version, as mods depend on BtS. (FFH2, Master of Mana, Orbis, etc)

Tempting. Very tempting. Still have Witcher 2 in the wings, however. Not sure I need to double down on the Euro-rpg.

I have to say that I'm finding these daily deals pretty disappointing overall. I haven't seen anything that's tempted me at all so far. Then again, I rarely see what's on sale for some reason - they're not promoted very well.

I bought Divinity 2 when it came out and could never quite get it running properly on my Q6600/8800GTX/4gig. I bought the Steam version on the sale yesterday to have when I upgrade, so I installed it to check it out. They have done some CRAZY optimization with the expansion. It runs flawlessly at well over 30fps now, even on High settings. I only started to get a framerate dip when I turned on AA. |

Must be, it ran great on my system with everything cranked. I did upgrade to a gtx460 when my 8800gtx died last year, but otherwise it's the same system I've had for 4-1/2 years (c2d e6600, 4GB RAM).
I won't be putting it in the rpg hall of fame, but it was a solid hack and slasher with some good moments. The only thing I didn't like was the slog through the sky fortresses, but for some reason I atypically wanted to clear them all. Lots of endless generic hordes.
