X-com was in a flash sale for £7.50, fantastic game, if it appears again I will pick up a copy for the misses.

Just checked the price history on it, the last time it was cheaper on Steam was May.

Yep its been cheaper, hold fire.

Will it come on flash sale again?

I think it's likely that it will be on sale again at that price whether through community vote, flash sale or daily.

I only made a STEAM account 3 weeks ago, and prior to that, I think I've only purchased 1-2 PC games in the past 7-8 years. I only actually made the account because someone pointed out in the SF4 thread that AE was available for 3 quid. My library now sits at 28 games. Any way to check how much I've spent?

Just made my first purchase. Bought Crysis for £2.99 as I can't seem to get into Far Cry 3 at the moment.

Just finished Sniper Elite Nazi Zombies! Fun game and for £3 it was well worth it i would be a wee bit disappointed if i had paid full price as its pretty short and the ending is great! Good buy for the money though!

Is it legit though? What's the source? Not that I mind either way.

Very interesting! That an early slip out? Or a deliberate attempt by Valve to stop Steam evaporating from the internet for ten minutes at 6pm every day?

Hyburnate · 17 Jul 2013 at 16:31

Who knows, partner shown me so I bought it here, sorry about no spoiler tags

Marsman · 17 Jul 2013 at 16:31

Flash sales FTW!

Just got another copy of Torchlight 2 for a friend, who missed out on the previous 75% off sale.

I re- bought RTCW

My fav game ever. I lost my original disks so wel pleased it's in my collection.

Downloaded with latest patches and running in minutes.. I remember this taking ages to install from CD.. then there was finding and installing latest patches and drivers etc.. How times have changed

Nope. There's a way you can see the 'value' of your Steam account per se, but it counts the value of each game as it's full retail price... so it's not a very accurate tool.

How do you pay for your games? If it's all been done quite recently you can just check through your bank / paypal statements?

I've got a badge for having had Steam for 9 years. I've no idea what I've spent, and I don't care

Gooner Leroy · 17 Jul 2013 at 16:49

I'm tempted by Dishonoured, is it a good game and not one that can be completed in 5 hours?

Get it. You'll get more than 5 hours out of it... for £5, you can't go wrong.

If you want to be super-stealthy sneaky type, you can be, knocking guards out and hiding them, creeping around, disarming alarms and traps, taking out targets using non-lethal methods, bribery, blackmail, extortion...

Or you can go on a brutal murder-fest, upgrade your pistol and crossbow to be mega-powerful, hack stab and slash your way through the enemies, pile up the corpses and watch the city turn blacker and more plague-ridden as you do so....

Or combine a bit of both
