    Hello boards!

    First time poster, and seeing as I'm only returning to PC gaming now after a break of a few years, this is my first Steam sale too.

    Anyway, I could't see it on the sale home page, but a search revealed that Frozen Synapse complete pack is available for €7 for anyone who's interested - that's two copies of the original game, Red DLC and the soundtrack. Will probably get it on the recommendation of a friend.

    Other than that, I've picked up Orcs Must Die complete and a few Valve games I only played on XBox before. If Arkham Asylum/City appear on sale before Saturday, I'll nab them too :)

    Jan 4th the last day deals will appear at 6 pm. You have until the 5th to decide what you'd like from them. I think anyway, that's normally how it used to work.

    Cheers! My mate, used to being violated twice a year by Steam, gave me the low down. I got a €50 One for All gift card last week, so put €50 into my Steam wallet in GameStop and still have about twenty left, so I hope I'll be alright...

    Famous last words!

    Also, just in case, it hasn't been made clear to you. The whole point of the Steam Sale is to buy as many games as possible that you won't ever have the chance of playing in RL. It's a hoarder's paradise. :o

    Play? Oh, oh yeah, I, too, plan to play these, also.

    Did that even sound in any way genuine?

    Binding of Isaac is still probably a better bet for your money.

    You can't buy a one-pack, only a 2 pack and 2 pack with dlc. This information will cost you a copy of Frozen Synapse. Cheers!

    Deus Ex: HR for less than a fiver. If anyone doesn't have it that's a serious bargain. Probably 25-30 hours of top quality gaming.

    Funnily enough I was kind of the same, I bought it at release and played a bit but gave up well under halfway through. I decided recently to give it another try and I loved it.

    Just picked up Med II TW and the Kingdoms expansion. Had Med II when it came out first and loved it, and RTW too. At €4.49, it'd be damned rude not to!
