Swords & Soldiers is a fun RTS (you don't control the units you make) so the Variety Pack looks like a great deal. The developers got some inspiration from BW and it's very challenging multiplayer.

Machinarium is really awesome, probably worth getting the Variety Pack just for that. I was so inspired after I played that game I spent two weeks trying to learn ActionScript so I could make games in flash.

I dunno about any of the other games in the pack, has anyone played them?
They are:

Atom Zombie Smasher (some kinda top-down strategy thing where you tactically kill zombies?)
ARES Extinction Agenda (looks like sci-fi Contra)
Capsized (a side scroller with really cool art direction)
Swords and Soldiers (side-scrolling strategy game, whatever that means)
Machinarium (awesome point and click adventure with amazing art direction and minigames)

I just picked up Left 4 Dead 2 for $6.80, which seems like a good deal to me.

I've played Machinarium, and thought it had great art and music and whimsical humor. If you have no patience for point and click adventures then steer clear, otherwise it's a worthy title.

I'm personally intrigued by capsized, has anybody played it and can give impressions?

On a side note, I've been having a problem with being unable to pause downloads on steam. I try pushing both the pause button and the pause all button on the downloads page and neither one seems to do anything. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? My internet is not great so I would like to be able to pause downloads while I watch Starcraft or whatever.

Didn't really see anything I care to buy today, but I'm sure there will be plenty of stuff to pick up in the following days.

Frozen Synapse for 15 is tempting especially because you get 2 copies for that price. From what I've seen from TB I think it's an awesome game.

I recommend only purchasing from "today's deal". Many things on sale will get a lareger discount on a certain day. On the last day you can get whatever didn't get a daily sale.

About damn time, ever since steam started having their daily deals, the sales have been really lackluster.

I got Borderlands, Lead and Gold, and Oblivion on the first day :D
