MASSIVE Steam Summer Sale

Go for L4D2.
If you like adventure games, or even just the monkey island series, you should.
They did a really nice job of capturing the Monkey Island feel and making an adventure game that seems current and for the most part serves a certain logic.
Damn, I missed this deal.
I've been hearing great things about this game so it would have been worth $25 easily.
I've had my GTX 480 for a little while now and let me tell you: I cranked this bad boy to DX 11 max on 1920X1200...and I about fell out of my chair.
My sister walks by from the other room and she goes: "Is THAT a game?!" and I said "Yup, and that's not a cutscene. That's the real game." and she basically couldn't make herself leave the room watching it.
Thankfully the gameplay is there to back it up. This game is a close cousin to STALKER for me.
If you've played those and you know all the quirks of those you'll be at home in this immediately.
I went for the THQ Pack at $50 because it was such a hell of a deal, even though I already owned Saints Row 2 and all the Red Faction games. I figured if there's even a couple of other games in it that "strike my fancy" in addition to this I'd easily more than get my value out of it.
I finally got Left 4 Dead 2 myself thanks to that deal and should be getting into that later today. For $10 that was another no brainer.
Saints Row 2 also has very weird issues with speed running on anything above XP.
Same here. KB/Mouse when on foot, controller in vehicles. Works like a charm.
I use both methods of controlling and both have their pros and cons. So, GTA IV is certainly worth the $5 on PC.
Sigh, sale is over now ..., makes me a sad panda.
Steam needs to imho adjust their business model to have some software 60+ % off every day. They have thousands of titles, they could easily do it. Now that the sale is over I won't be checking their website (and "accidentally" buying stuff) till I read about another steam sale on here. If they kept daily sales I'd check it daily.

I'm sure they'll have weekend and mid-week sales again soon enough.
I grabbed Red Faction: Guerrilla for the $5 deal, looks interesting and something to try down the road. Now to catch up on actual gaming, including xmas sale deals from months ago...
mid week and weekend deals aren't enough for you? entitlement in America is at an all time high.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is pretty good. I wasted many hours playing it on my laptop while I was in Iraq.
they have sales every week

We won't have a sale like this until fall or christmas
There is usually a sale every week for a couple games but like Spare-Flair said, the next big sale like the Summer sale wont happen until Christmas. It gives time for people to save up some dough

Time to save up for the next wave
Disappointed that FEAR 2 did not have any sale at all.
Hopefully, we'll see better price cut for bigger titles like Bad Company 2 and Settlers 7 in the future.

Actually, the next big sale will be Thanksgiving, not Xmas.
There will probably be something for Halloween, too.
That's how last year went, anyway...

I finally picked up mad moxxi's underground riot or whatever it's called cause all the DLC was $3 a pop. It's nice too because a lot of my friends that I played BL with intitially just picked up all the DLC cause it was so cheap. Looks like I'm gonna be playing again too.

I thoroughly enjoyed Saints Row 2. Ran fine on my Win 7 x64. There was one issue with the game black screening in the ronin airport mission but if you skip the cutscene right away it'll play nicely.
I played a little bit of Saints Row 2 and was a little off put that I couldn't take to pedestrians, then I shot like 5 and nothing happened so I was like wtf is this shit and turned it off. I guess I will need to give it another shot, it's just not really like the rpg games I play at all.

It's sorta like GTA4 but much more fun missions and gun play. You don't get owned by cops and you can just blast the hell out of everything if you want. It's great. I hated GTA4's slow pacing of like, drive me here, wait, then drive me back, etc.
I tried it again today and had some fun with it. Sure it ain't realistic in the slightest bit but once you get used to it, it can be fun.

Damage wasn't too bad, spent about $120.
Volition and THQ would like to give their sincerest apologies for not making glorifying criminal behavior the true-to-life sim its fans demand.

L4D story is just there to give the characters back-story. There is no story , no more so a story in games such a Unreal tournament,painkiller,serious sam,the original dooms.
