Bioshock pack for €10.
Prince of Persia Pack for €12? What kind of games are you into? And what don't you already have.:p
DCS : Blackhawk might be worth a punt.

What's your steam user name? PM it to me if you want.

I have exactly €7.50 left on my card. I'm hoping SR3 comes up, but it's looking unlikely. Dunno why I didn't get it first time around

The flash sales have been way better then the actual Steam Day Sales today so it definitely has a chance of popping up.

JoeGuy00 · 23-07-2012 12:04am

MW3 for €15. Worth it?

Edit: Never mind, was a store mistake. I over estimated Acti-Sequal.

Washington Irving · 23-07-2012 12:05am

Surprised at 75% off for MW3, though still not worth it imo

Kirby · 23-07-2012 12:11am

I missed borderlands at 75% because I was asleep and now I'm afraid it won't come back.

Help flash sale picker wan kenobi....you are my only hope!

I wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it, when you compare it to some of the great titles available for €5 or less why would you bother. Black Ops 2 is looking like it's going to be an even bigger let down.

shane7218 · 23-07-2012 12:17am

Hmmm €10 left half life 2 with all episodes or just cause 2 with just half life 2 decisions????????????????

Maybe the Orange Box - HL2, + ep. 1, 2 and Portal. for €9.50

Turtwig · 23-07-2012 12:40am

Ok, that's the second time SC has lost its saves for me.Really frustrating, because it's an excellent game and lots of fun but I want to be able to choose the scenes thank you. Having to complete the game in one sitting is a little much.

Also, boardsie, Neilos just gifted me TDU2. Pretty chuffed by that.:)

shane7218 · 23-07-2012 12:42am

Sorted

I got

Deus Ex human revoulation

I might get more if there are more good deals :cool:

It's only showing 50% off for me (not that I'd be bothered either way to be honest).

Nollog · 23-07-2012 1:29am

Definitely was 75% off earlier.
Makes more sense now, must have been a mis-price.

Washington Irving · 23-07-2012 1:39am

Yeah, it's gone back to -50% for me too. Strange one, usually the misprices are way off

The Binding of Isaac
Borderlands GoTY
Dead Island
Fallout: New Vegas
GTA: San Andreas
Medieval II: Total War

Plants vs. Zombies GoTY
STALKER series
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Not a bad haul for €40 ish, only tried San Andreas so far, found the keyboard controls very awkward but its a bit of a nightmare getting it set up with a game pad. Also seems very awkward to mod it which is annoying

Portal 2 tempting me but with a 25gb data limit for the month I'll be lucky to download 2 games per month so think that'll be me finished

Darn, I would have actually gone for it at 75%, despite the fact the game is utter ****e, even more so on PC than console...

Actually the handiest way to map the buttons is to use Xpadder. I know the game automatically detects the controller, but to get around that you only bind the buttons that actually work through the in-game options and then bind the other buttons through Xpadder.

An example would be if the game doesn't detect the triggers, then unbind the fire and aim buttons in the game and bind those buttons in Xpadder. I had to do this and it works perfect now.

Burning Eclipse · 23-07-2012 7:14am

Aaaand, I think I'm done.

Excluding gifts, I bought 24 games for €60.56, or about €2.52 per game. Probably spent a lot less that some, and more than many others, but I'm delighted with my haul. Some ridiculous value to be had here, so much so that I had to buy some of my favourite games for friends at those price!!

I've even broken the golden rule and (like someone else pointed out on this thread) finished a game I bought during the sale... That said it was Dear Esther, so I'm not sure it counts

Gunmonkey · 23-07-2012 8:45am

End total for me was:

Binding of Isaac DLC
Trine 2

You guys should try being broke as all f**k when these sales comes around, does wonders.......

And heres a fun game, try find the games that have nothing off them on Steam! So far all the Duels of the Planeswalkers dont have a cent off, not even the 2 years old version, deck unlocks or anything is cheap.

The Ship - Complete Pack €5.00
€78.49

Can't believe I spent so much. I know the likes of The Witcher, and The Walking Dead push the total up, but it seems like I bought very little indie titles this time around.
Anyway, I can put my credit card away for another while now. Roll con Steam Christmas Sale

Resident Evil 5 didn't have a discount, which is odd considering they should be shoving copies into gamers hands to promote Res 6 just like Ubisoft did with AC and Gearbox did with Borderlands this summer.

Copy and paste the below and edit it to suit yourself. Use "|" (Shift + backslash) to create columns and use enter to create rows.

Nothing appeals to me on the last day. Wish that individual indies had gone on sale instead of the bundles. The lack of gift copies really put me off buying them since I already had 2 or 3 of the included games anyway.

Everything ends at 6pm today. There's no community vote since the game that'd be picked would be on sale at 6.

danthefan · 23-07-2012 9:40am

I'm done now (I hope), here's the final tally. Only 1 game more than €10 and it's one I was going to buy anyway, so I'm fairly satisfied with my purchases.

Benzino · 23-07-2012 9:48am

Delighted Saints Row 3 came back up, thank you Valve!

TPD · 23-07-2012 9:50am

danthefan · 23-07-2012 9:52am

Anyone have Space Pirates and Zombies? Any good?

Edit - screw it, buying it.

TheDoc · 23-07-2012 10:16am

Thought sale was done, still stuff showing for me, dangerous! Although it appears there is no REALLY good discounts, everything I bought is slightly more expensive today.

Gave Splinter Cell some gametime last night, very enjoyable, steal at that price.
Also booted up Rome Total War, and straight away got into Multiplayer with me Da

Also, cracking game, great value.

I think from the lot the Total War Pack, SPlinter Cell and GTA Franchise and showing the best value.

Ghost Recon 2 2.49
Star Wars Force Unleashed pack 12.49
Hacker Evolution 2.49
Left 4 Dead 2 4.99
Batman Franchise 22.49
Total War pack 12.49
Witcher 1 1.99
Splinter Cell 4.99
Arma Arrowhead 8.99
GTA Franchise 19.99
Total 93.40

Yes

your steam library is mobile. You can login from any machine and begin playing once you download the game.

So essentially just install Steam on your laptop, and then grab whatever game you want. Youll be asked to confirm your login with a small code that they will email but then bobs your uncle.

Seems to go with what you have/want against what shows.

I'm happy with my grabs, I would have liked maybe something like the Assassins Creed pack, but I wasn't splashing out €50 for them.

There was some days I didn't spend a penny or even get tempted, other days I went mental.

Football Manager remains tempting there but I'm currently using the CM00 game using community driven updates to keep it current, which is just mindblowingly good, enjoyable and simple. Best of all, CM00 is free now from the publisher as are the updates.

Sim City 4 for €4.99 is also enticing, I'm just humming and haughing over it I'd have time to actually dedicate to it.

FM2012 is a decent addition to the series. I'm not sure why I spent any money on the sales given that my last week has been spent glued to FM...

But free CM00? Do you have a link?

I was just hunting my outlook archives. I sent a mail around work and we all got it up and running and played network games.

Nothing illegal, the publishers have provided for free.

A google search and youtube search will give you all the details, for the life of me cannot remember where I downloaded mine from, will email around here and ask for them to send me the mail back
