any of those star wars games any good?? i loved KotOR 2 back in the day... not sure if these are worth buying though.

KotOR was very very good, and for $2.50 its so worth it, I picked up Battlefront 2 as well cause its also $2.50 and I used to play that a lot with my friends, we were all Star Wars nerds and loved it. So yeah its worth it.

Picks of the day for me are spacechem and railworks.

Only 40% off shogun is a joke. still over $50 here in aus. It's even cheaper at EB games.

I'm on the fence about Just Cause 2. Any advice? I've heard the game is good, but I only really want to pick it up if it's -really- good. I have such an enormous backlog of awesome games already.

It's fun, but not amazing. But definitely worth five euros.

I bought KotR today $2.50 is a great price for something I always wanted to play. Im excited to see what is on the menu for tomorrow.

I agree that 40% is not enough off for Shogun, I bought the collectors edition at ebGames (Aus) for $51 AUD (<$50 US) :D

So many sales, I think that this is why Steam is so successful and if other companies just watched what Steam did to get and maintain users, then they could be more successful as well

If you like puzzle games where you have to actually sit back and think about solutions, SpaceChem is definitely a must have.

Just Cause 2?

Probably need some modding for some stuff though.

Just Cause 2 is the best sandbox GTA clone ever made. It's really gorgeous too. It's impossible not to have fun playing it and there are a bunch of mods if you ever bored http://www.justcause2mods.com/

Anyone here try Braid? Looking at the gameplay vid it looks awesome, think I'm going to pick it up along with KotR.

Another game I really want to see go on sale is Magic 2012.

I have KOTOR but I can't get it to work on my comp. Anyone else having that problem after they bought it?

There are pages about it on the steam forums, but I still can't get it to work.

(I'm not asking for a solution, just if others can or can't get it to work)

I got KotOR and Battlefront 2, I couldn't resist. They were just some of the best games I played back in the day and for $2.49 each it's easily worth it to re-buy them for the PC.

I recommend at least getting KotOR if you're an RPG or Star wars fan.

Braid is good fun, good length and what it's about is pretty interesting. Would recommend!

If you enjoy Just Cause 2 or GTA-clones / free world shooter games in general, be sure to pick up Prototype in case it goes on sale.

Sure, but if you want to play it in 1920x1080 (or other widescreen) you need a modified exe.

I've only played the first. I got the second one when it went on sale a little while ago and haven't gotten around to it yet.

I really liked the open world running, jumping and climbing. It was so much fun to kill random beggars then sprint through town evading the guards. The combat was really fun too, some see it as repetitive, but I never got tired of the block/counterattacking badassery. I did play it a while ago when it first came out, so I'm not sure how well it has aged, but the story was well worth it anyways. When I saw the ending, I knew right away I had to play the sequel.

Played it for an hour and it's awesome, genuinely challenging at parts early in the game already.

Debating on picking up Heroes of M&M 5, I remember great times with number 3 back in the days, and it's only $5 for the game and the expansions, so it's a great deal too.

Only problem with all these awesome steam sales is I'm going to have trouble finding time to play all these games. ^^
