    " @SpikeSpiegel: I bought the first on PC last year sometime (5 for it and Beyond Good and Evil, yay!). It's a good game, but the PC port is janky in spots and I seem to remember struggling with the controls in some spots. Though I did play through the whole thing, so it wasn't game breaking stuff at all.  Oh and the audio was messep up, but that may have just been the GOG copy.    EDIT: Did anyone NOT buy Super Meat Boy? I mean, I've paid that much for indie/arcade games that were nowhere near as fun/well made.  "
    I didn't buy SMB. I was going to, but I heard the keyboard controls are horrendous. "
    They're not that bad.  I've been playing it on the PC, and it's still really fun.  The controls are really just two buttons plus the direction keys, so this game could be played with an original NES controller.

    Not on Steam, but got a copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla for 5 bucks. It came with a magazine. Nice deal. Of course, in 2 hours I am already expecting it to be on sale for 1 buck on Steam.

    Fuck yeah! I was checking up on it thinking it must be time to change soon and managed to hit the page with 5 seconds left of yesterdays deals lol.  
     
    I have a pretty big question as well, the valve pack, it's down to £25 here in the uk. (79% off.) Should I get it?

    Today's deals suck, I own a lot of those as a retail disc due to it not being on Steam at the time.  How do they go from BC2 for 7 bucks to this crap....start very high, follow up with a low.  >.>

    I bought Titan Quest Gold thingie, 2,50 was just too much of a steal.
    And I gifted my cousin The Witcher, because he should shut the fuck up and play it.

    Yes.
     
     Finally picked up Puzzle Quest. Never played one before and you can't beat $1.50. On a different note, looks like my gambit to hold off on purchasing the Witcher paid off. It hit $6.75ish earlier this year but I said NAY and held off until now.
     
    Suck it $1.75.

    So far I have purchased The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom for $0.50 and The Witcher Enhanced Edition for $5.00. I just hope that sometime over the sale they have deals on Trine, Torchlight, KOTOR, and Zeno Clash.

    Sorry if this seems like a dumb question  I always get confused of which PC games/which versions have LIVE achievements.  Do RE5/Bioshock 2 or Burnout Ultimate Box have LIVE achievements?

    If those do not go on sale I will be shocked because they are ALWAYS on sale EVERY time they have a sale.

    Just a note, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is $3.60 if you already own a tomb raider game.   I ended up buying something today after all.

    For 1,75 you all should buy Puzzle Quest, if you haven't already. You won't regret it. 
    @KaosAngel: Indeed. I got the Indie Music Pack or something and it was Beat Hazard, Audiosurf, The Polynomial, Bit Trip Beat and another one for 4,50. Awesome deal.

    The last day is usually an encore day. That is when they'll take some deals from the past dailies and put them up one more time.
     
    Its not guaranteed that Super Meat Boy will go back down, but there is a chance.

    these indy packs for 4.49euros are really tasty too by the way. I already got the one with Nyx Quest in it, but this Indy Fright pack is really tempting me. 
     
    4.49 for zombie driver and burn zombie burn alone seems good, but I have no idea what The Void and the Path are
     
    Scourge Project LOOKS great in pictures, prob just a mediocre third person shooter tho. Still, 4.49 for all that? Any info on these games you guys can share to make me take the plunge?

    Might as well wait, it's a no lose situation.  If there isn't an added sale, you get it half-off, if there is an extra sale...you save a couple bucks (or quids as you UK say).

    sad thing is thing is, I already have the 360 version of RE 5 with all the content. I'm just tempted to get the PC version. I'm thinking this or ME 2. (Also I already have ME 2 for 360)

    Grabbed The Witcher for $5.  
     
    My strategy every year is to view the daily deals everyday and purchase only those deals accordingly (i.e. buy only the games I don't have and really want at the "Whattheholyshitbuybuybuy" price). Never buy anything in a pack until the end of the sale so you don't get burned on a reduced price. You have been warned!

    Is The Witcher any good still?  I don't want to spend $5 on a game if I will play it for 5 minutes and then stop.
