Steam Summer Sale: What's on your list?

neoglow · 14 Jul 2012 at 19:17

There are hidden gems on the sale, not 'everything' that is massively reduced or a flash sale is on the front page! Id advise thinking of games and searching to double check the prices, dont just use the front page.

Orcs Must Die is a great game for anyone who hasn't played it, however there is a new one coming out soon (OMD2).

I would still recommend to people though if they haven't completed it, if you like the look of the videos you will enjoy playing the game imo, I know I did.

DLC for OMD is not really necessary, only one trap in the DLC is any good (scorcher). The rest aren't really that useful.

Agreed.

Picked up Trials 2 and Audiosurf for less than £3.

I'm not sure if it's worth chancing on seeing Skyrim in one of the votes, which would beat the current 50% off. Still the current deal is really good for the amount of game you get.

I've bought it today at 50% off but it could come around and bite me in one of the flash sales..oh well, I was prepared to pay what I did so we'll see.

It's still downloading now....about an hour to go.

Are you serious !!!!! You can't download games while playing other games. I put Skyrim for download and playing Plants vs Zombies. Came out after 65 mins and only downloaded 300mb, I saw and it was paused.

WTF !!!

Did they merge the threads? I liked Gimpymoo's one, the 1st post was updated with the deals.

I think it was merged, shouldn't have been though.

Caved in and bought Dead Island and Bioshock 2

I can feel many more purchases coming on!

So once I go in game, press alt+tab then go back to game it will continue to download?

Is 75% off the maximum?

Want to buy Super Meat Boy and it's currently 75% off as a flash deal.

Considering flash deals are so time limited, I think they will be the best deal you can get.

I'm just going to buy it. It's currently only £2.99 but it's the principle of missing it out if it goes cheaper!

Are the Dead Island DLC's any good?

launch game, alt-tab, pause the download, resume the download check to make sure it starts downloading again, go back to game.

I just got the Dead Island: Ryder White DLC. Wouldnt bother with the rest personally, but getting to replay a portion of the game from another characters POV is usually good.
