Yay! I love the Summer Sale - it's like a game in itself.

Here are some of my tips on how to play it better

How to Get the Best Deals in the Steam Summer Sale

Some of the main things:
- If you want a game that is 20-50% off wait until the last fay to buy it. It may just go on the daily sales for up to 88% off.
- The wishlist or a notepad for games you are keeping an eye on are a must.
- Pack deals are not likely to drop in price.
- A good rule for the packs is if you want 3/4 of the games then buy it. If you only really want 1-2 then wait till the last day (for same reason as the first point).
- Flash sales change every couple of hours (less than 8 it seems). 50% off flash deals are a bit of a gamble - they could go on the daily sales later. 66% to 88% off are good deals, getem.
- make sure to vote for each community choice sale! (you get a badge for it) You can choose which game gets 66% - 75% off!
- Grab the iPhone app to keep an eye on the flash deals while you are out.

DarKcS · Sat, 14th-Jul-2012, 12:36 PM

Anno 2070 is pretty awesome.

Looking to sell off extra Darksiders and Space Marines! I should have looked at the THQ pack before buying them! T_T

Or else I'm just going to gift them to my friends.

Terraria bought! Missed the nice price on Trine series =( Hoping it gets low again somehow.

Asrathiel · Sat, 14th-Jul-2012, 4:54 PM

I got Bioshock and Trine 2 today ^_^

raycey · Sat, 14th-Jul-2012, 5:19 PM

Trine 2 is pretty good, played it with Dox a couple of months ago.

Portal 1 and 2 are awesome. Only Portal 2 has co-op though. But the single player stories alone are worth it.

Limbo is creepy dark but you get over it pretty quick as it soon becomes more of a puzzler than a platformer.

I've been meaning to get Deus Ex for a while but keep forgetting about it. It's cheap even without a deal so I'll hopefully get it soon and download that graphics patch before playing it so it's not so painful to the eyes.

Not sold on Bioshock. Watched Dox play it a bit but I'm still not sure it's a game for me.

Also, anyone who hasn't played Bastion yet needs to do so. It's amazing.

Rayman Origins is only for the hardcore gamer who has mad reflexes. Dox is a GOD for doing the last couple of levels for me and helping me get the Platinum trophy (got the PS3 version).

Only Steam recommedations I can make for now as I'm not a big PC player.

Best game I've ever played

Didn't see this in the thread anywhere but i feel it should be mentioned that all of the daily days have a 12 hour rollover, so if you miss them on sale by a couple hours, you can still get them dirt cheap, within 12 hours of that daily sale ending.

Stoosh · Mon, 16th-Jul-2012, 12:09 PM

Bought Orcs Must Die, L4D2 & Knights of the old republic yesterday..

I suggest everybody go and buy Orcs Must Die, a seriously great first person tower defence game.

Still only $3 for another 2 hours

40-ish minutes left on Bastion Community's Choice deal, I strongly urge anyone who hasn't gotten/played this game to do so, simply one of the best games ever for me.

Maynarde:

Dead Space 1 and 2 are sick games

MazEi · Mon, 16th-Jul-2012, 5:56 PM

Hmm, wondering if I should buy any of the Fallout games. I'm currently sort of enjoying Deus Ex, so would I enjoy Fallout? How long is a typical Fallout game?

EDIT
Just bought Trine 2 and PixelJunk Eden =D

Quick Comments

	Maynarde:	Fallout is more like Skyrim, very open, anywhere between 10 - 100 hours of gameplay
	BearPack:	if you dislike

Watch a few game reviews on it, so you understand the mechanics.

Also, if you think V.A.T.S is as bad as I thought it was, you're gonna have a bad time.
