GOG just released Master of Orion 1+2 for $6. Also Outcast for $6. not a sale.

MOO2 is kinda classic though dated, Outcast is one of those games that sounds pretty interesting, but I wonder if it'll hold up at all today.

Always curious about MOO2.

It's at that tempting price where I think... will I ever play these again? Is it worth the couple bucks so that in that case I won't have to hunt for the discs?

never played it on PC; might as well.

Samarost 2 has been added to that "humble bundle" thing too now.

Tropico 3 is 75% off this weekend, down to $7.50

http://store.steampowered.com/sale/bethesda_weekend

I have waited about eight months for Fallout 3: GOTY to drop down to $20, and it's at $25 right now on Steam - question is, will I actually get around to playing it within the next six months or whenever the game finally gets a permanent price drop...

Batman AA: GOTY is $20 on Steam right now, too (but I'm still angry about my save deletion)

They're doing EA specials all this week, one per day, only for 24 hours each. The Command & Conquer series is on sale right now.

GOG has the Tex Murphy games 30-50% off... all worth it except maybe 1+2, which many people got for free last year anyway.

https://www.gog.com/en/promo/tex_murphy_collection

Steam has Dead Space and Mirror's Edge for cheaps

Mass Effect 1 $5 @ steam

Oh no. Steam has started a SUMMER sale. My wallet is already crying.

the new Tropico expansion is six bucks and change, SOLD.

pro tip from another board:

DO NOT BUY A GAME EVEN IF IT IS ON SALE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT THERE IS NO DAILY SALE FOR IT COMING.

Games that are on sale can often have a daily sale as well.

need to keep reminding myself i still have backlogged games from the last xmas sale to get around to

Definitely thinking of picking some new stuff up, browsing through the store is nearly impossible though... it's a mess.

Is a Super Street Fighter IV PC release happening or not???

Cryostasis $3.24
maybe finally get the GTA games for PC?
The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena for $6.79?

Posted today:

A little ominous, but both sad and funny is complaining about the piracy, when the game was already saddled with all that GFWL junk which evidently did nothing for them. I mean, sure I like achievements, but I absolutely hate the way they've screwed up save game files with it, and they don't even get cloud-saved - making it a truly useless, annoying DRM solution

but yeah at least it's some indication we'll get one

Killing floor is five bucks; I remember it from this years coint and plick... anybody wanna talk me into it?

nhex - good to know, I want the PC version, but don't want to buy old IV just to see Super announced the next day. Maybe it'll have steamworks integration this time & that's the reason for the delay? Still, if they make it a deal of the day, I think I'll bite this time around.

Tempted by a few of those complete deals too...

yeah, tbh, if it's above $10 it's pretty hard to justify buying IV on PC at this point, especially if you're just getting it for online

the shooters like Killing Floor and CS: Source are a little tempting but i need blatant peer pressure to tip me over

ones to watch for future daily deals, as they're already on sale:

King's Bounty Gold - $10 (vanilla KB - $3.24, AP - $7.49)
The Witcher Director's Cut - $6.79
Defense Grid - $5
Indigo Prophecy - $3.39
Introversion Complete Pack - $5 (includes Darwinia, Multiwinia, Defcon, Uplink)
Bionic Commando Rearmed - $6.69

today's deals for Bioshock 2 ($15) and Trine ($4) also look good but i'll skip

tempted by Europa Universalis III complete (well, w/o the latest expansion) but dunno if I'll be able to get into it. It's SteamPlay; anyone here play it on the Mac? I've read that it's just a Cider port & so doesn't work that well on OS X.

I'm hoping for a good Metro 2033 deal of the day the most - that's the game I really want to play (but not for full price) - though I'm willing to keep waiting.

I did just pick up Far Cry 2, Fuel, Cryostasis, the two Riddick games and Trials 2 for only $32 - loving me some steam sales.

Has anybody heard anything about the rpg Numen? I'm a sucker for classical greek games, and a full-on RPG set there seems like a lot of fun
