A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Serious now. In case people don't see it, they are randomly picking steam accounts and giving people the top 5-10 games in their wish list! God dam I don't know how you guys do it, but you always top yourself with every sale.
It's broken at the moment... too much goodness. Nice of them to give back to their community (seems awfully generous). But it doesn't matter anyway, because we all pirate all our games anyway. Right guys? Right? ...right? ... right!?
" What's up with all the little cartoon characters all over steam now? They trying to get mascots or something? "
They don't use them very often, so I guess not a lot of people know about them. Do they have names? It would be helpful if I knew how to refer to them.

Nothing i'm particularly interested in today, i'll see what they have for tommorrow.
I seen borderlands for $5 before and I skipped it like five times in a row. I know lots of ppl likes it, it has all the qualities an american gamer wants, fps, rpg elements, collecting items, however watching all video reviews and looking at metacritic scores, I don't find it appealing. Maybe i'm wrong, however I have choosen to skip this game over and over. I think even though it might be acceptable in terms of gameplay, I might run the risk of genuinely disliking the game.
@Moth_Pope: the worst game i've ever played on steam. I keep reinstalling it and formatting it. I can't get very far and the gameplay is uninspired compared to infamous. The gameplay is so uninspired, yet some ppl might tell you it's cool or they like it. However sure they like it, it's no infamous. It's 79% on gamerankings for the xbox360 version, infamous scores much higher for those that disagrees. I want to be objective, rather than subjective. This game sucks and infamous is superior.
I myself thought, I can buy a game like infamous, with pc graphics and textures at higher resolution. It was a regretful decision. I can't believe I spent like $40 on this junk before. However since it's much cheaper, maybe it's worth the price tag now for a $15.
If you buy it, just have a really low expectation and maybe you won't be dissapointed.
" Hmm, Prototype for £7.50. I've heard it's like Infamous but not as good; still seems worth a look. Any opinions on this game? "
It's more like Crackdown 2 but set in a realistic setting. It's just because it launched around the same time that it's compared to Infamous, they are very different games despite being sandbox 3rd person action. I'd say £5 is a good price to pay for Prototype if you really don't care about it, so perhaps wait to see if it's cheaper in the Christmas sale.

I loved it back when it was released. It had its faults, but the free running.. oh god, the free running in that game was so freaking satisfying, and the mayhem you could cause was incredible.
I'm afraid I'm going to be poor by the end of this week. Sam & Max, AP, Deus Ex and the Indie Pack today, who knows what will be out over the next few!
Thanks for the responses, guys. It was a game I hadn't even thought about since it was released, until now. So I think I'll give it a miss this time - Although free running is great when implemented well, I'm in no rush right now for a game like this. Cheers!
Deus Ex is a classic and you should play it. I'm in a giving mood, so... I've bought the Deus Ex 8-pack and I'll gift the game to the first 8 people to PM me their Steam email adress.

Just bought GT5, Epic Mickey and NBA Jam, so I think I'll pass on these. I already own most of the decent ones anyway. Was only tempted by Alpha Protocol, but I'm sure there will be better deals coming.
