Finally, a day in this sale that I might actually buy something. How did that happen?
Today's theme is Skyrim, though at the moment they don't seem to be getting the postcards right.
Daily Deals
Skyrim 40% off (35.99) Third time it has been on sale in the past 8 days.
Monaco 50% off (7.44) One of the games I may buy from today's sale. This is a simple looking coop heist game with a lot of character and variability. It looks like a lot of fun.
Metro Last Light 40% off (29.99) A great shooter. Tough on hardware I've heard. Maybe you should wait for a slightly better price though.
Grid 2 40% off (29.99) Repeat from a flash sale.
Trials Evolution Gold Edition 50% off (9.99) A port of a challenging console bike game which presents you with nearly impossible courses to try to master. In some ways it reminds me of Line Rider.
Eve Online 75% off (4.98) Starter pack for an MMO with a subscription fee.
Train Simulator 2013 80% off (10.99) The DLC is how they make their money on this... 1200 dollars of it so far and that is the sales price. Then again, I don't know how much model train stuff costs these days.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition 75% off (4.99) Another game I may buy today or tomorrow, although I have heard that getting a non-enhanced version from somewhere like GOG and adding mods myself ends up being a better game than this particular release. I guess it depends on how lazy I am.
Civilization 5 75% off (7.49) Well, I said it would be a daily deal at some point in the sale.
Awesomenauts 66% off (3.39) A side scrolling MOBA game with decent reviews. None of the characters are behind a paywall and the DLC is purely cosmetic. A maybe for me.
Flash Sales
Round 1 1PM-9PM
Fable III 75% off (4.99) I've read it is the weakest of the series and the Steam page says it installs Securom. Pass for me.
Star Trek 75% off (7.49) Avoid. This is a bad game. A bad, bad game.
Rayman Origins 66% off (6.79) A highly recommended platformer with a whimsical sense of humor and lovely color palette.
Portal 2 75% off (4.99) A great game that you should buy if you don't own it.
Round 2 9PM-5AM
Repeats of FTL, Hitman Absolution and Fallout New Vegas and a 40 dollar pack for a FTP game called Star Conflict.
Round 3 5AM-1PM
Repeats of the Tomb Raider, Stardrive and Kerbal Space Program sales.
Towns 66% off (5.09) I was genuinely interested in this game. But I've found out that for all intents and purposes it is still a beta and it seems to be getting worse not better. The review scores are pretty bad too. It was supposed to be a game like Dwarf Fortress, so it is complex, but apparently it is also very buggy.
