Steam needs to knock this off.... I spend way too much money on way more games than I'll ever get the time to play. Damn you steam for feeding my addiction!

I'm mainly using this steam sale to catch up on cheap dlc's.  Also some indie titles that I've been wanting to check out.  Hoping that Elder Scrolls series get a serious discount in the next few days.  I want to play it with that Hi rez texture pack dlc included.

I've only picked up Forge.....so far.

 

Might pick up 1 or 2 of the Men of War games.  If Far Cry 3 has any discount I'll probably grab that as well.

I missed KOTOR 2 flash sale durring the Thanksgiving sale. I'm hoping to catch it  this time around.

I may grab that Darksiders deal today.

I was also looking at getting a little nastalgic and picking up Vice City but I've been reading they had to pull a bunch of music due to copyrights and now I'm not sure cause the music was the whole point of grabing it.

KOTOR 2 is 50% off right now (4.99)....of course if you wait for it to flash then you can get it for 2.50.

Yea I picked up Kotor at thanksgiving and then like a weirdo I just purchased teh Legacy of Kain series.    For some reason I am compelled to keep those games through multiple platforms.  Since I own copies of it on PS2, XBOX and now PC.  Oh and I also bought Jade Empire.

Seems like other sites have been stepping up to combat these Steam sales.  I've picked up several games in the last few days but none of them from Steam.  Amazon, Gamersgate, GreenmanGaming and Gamefly have had better deals on the same stuff Steam has been offering.

Yea grabbed Skyrim from Gamefly digital for 26 dollars vs the 40 that Steam was discounting.  Now I could waited to see if it would have been a flash sale but I don't see it being discounted much lower then the deal I recieved.

Picked up Air Buccaneers for $10.00 another indy mp only game.  This one is a lot of fun - takes a bit to figure out what's going on but once you do it's a blast.  This would be a good Friday night drunk game lol  Between Forge and AB I like AB better.

picked up Awesomenauts and it is awesome.  It's a MOBA but done as a platformer (I know....hard to get your head around that).....so like League of Legends or DOTA 2 but as a 3v3 platformer.....it works really well.  Lots of fun.

Man, this has been the worst Steam sale I can think of.  I've seen nothing that has blown me away or prompted me to buy, and I'm usually spending crazy money on these sales on games I don't even want cause the prices are so low.   So far the only thing I've purchased from Steam during this sale is Saints Row the Third: The Full Package for $7.50, and if I had waited one day I could have gotten it from Amazon for $2.50.

I'd been waiting for Dishonored and Far Cry 3 to go on sale, but Steam's prices were crap.  Ended up buying both Dishonored and Far Cry 3 for $28 each from different sites.  Also picked up the Darksiders franchise and Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition from Amazon for less than Steam's sale prices.  Thinking about grabbing The Secret World for $13 when it goes on sale on Amazon starting 1/1.

Yeah, me too. I have only bought two (Morrowind and Resonance) games from steam so far. Most of the game on sale, are games that I have already bought. I did buy a few from GOG, so that kind of made up for it.

Steam hasn't had too much that's interesting. Mostly stuff that's still too rich for my tastes, or that I own already from previous sales or humble bundles. I've had much better luck with amazon and greenmangaming. was able to get darksiders 2 for $8.50 off of green man. Got lego lord of the rings off amazon for $7.
