    !!THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO STEAM ONLY!!
     
    To all those people that love STEAM, this is for you. We all know that STEAM has a penchant for opening our wallets at inconvenient times with "too-good-to-pass-up-deals." It just occurred to me, that Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching (yes I loose sight of time, I'm that forgetful dude). Anyways, I thought I would just make a quick blog post regarding this impending AWESOMENESS, and without further-ado here are the games I'm hoping will go on sale:
     
    Singularity

    I paid full price for singularity and thought it was well worth it. Not saying I would have rather not pad $50, but it was a great game.

    I would love to support these developers and pay full price, however; being a student money goes to other...things.

    They never put the game I'm expecting to go on sale. But they always put something thats been in the back of my mind and i'm always like. Yeah, I could get behind that.

    I doubt New Vegas is going to be on sale. I think that game is a little "too new" to have a sale. Prove me wrong valve!

    Black Ops will drop to $20 on Christmas Sale.   
     
    EVERY Console Port will be dropped to $10-20 during the Christmas Sale. 
     
    I'm betting $0.99 Team Fortress 2, and other Valve games.

    Off the top of my head, Assassin's Creed II, MW1+2, and Alpha Protocol.  
     
    Lately I've been kind of disappointed with their sales, but that might just be because I already have most of what I want on there. Does anyone else feel like they continously go through the Titan Quest/Trine/*random Source game* rotation just a little too much?

    Are you sure? Because I don't want to wait 1-2 months for Black Ops to drop if it doesn't.

    Call of duty black ops, there is no way i'll ever buy a treyarch game without a big discount. I also want to play mafia 2, with such a low overall average, I think it would be more worth it at a lower price where it's fair.

    Modern Warfare 2 has never gone on sale on steam, as far as I've seen, anyway (just the DLC packs).   I highly doubt Black Ops is going to get a sale a month after its release.

    Alan Wake for $20
    Vanquish for $35 or less
    Dragon Age Awakening for $20 or less (PS3 version - preferably the digital one)

    The Witcher (and it almost certainly will).
    Recettear, I enjoyed it, but don't feel it was worth the price.  Probably would have been willing to pay more for it on a handheld though.
    I'll probably get Alpha Protocol if it drops to a good price too.
     
    Not much else I'm really interested in, but if it's anything like last year, I'll buy a lot.

    I'd like to see deals on Black Ops, Recettear, Enslaved, New Vegas, Mafia 2, Starcraft 2, Singularity, Resonance of Fate and quite a few others.
     
    Whoops, didn't notice Steam-only.  Still mostly relevant except Enslaved and Black Ops which I'd buy on 360...

    You can link non-steam games to steam. It acts like a short cut but it tells people what you are playing.
     
    Next time you see someone playing Starcraft 2. It should say "non-steam game" above it.

    You can add non-Steam games, and it still notifies people if you load up the game. It also lets you use the overlay in non-Steam games.

    I've tried to stop buying games on steam now in anticipation for the $100+ i will be spending over their seasonal sale.  I definetely want dragon age and mass effect 2, not really sure what else yet.

    @Seedofpower:@Bobdaman18: Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up! 
     
    I'm kinda bummed out though, since that probably means it won't go on sale for a while...
