Steam Holiday Sale 12 - 31

Ah, the close of the year. So tonight, stay safe, have fun. Heck, maybe combine the two and just stay home reading up on my reviews to get an idea of what other games you'd like to get. Self serving, I know, but someone has to plug them every once and a while.

Main Sale:

Deus Ex - Alright, this sale is increasingly making me want to face palm. Why is that, you ask? Well, let's take a look at this lovely title, where you get to do what you want, stealth or kill 'em all, as you progress through this game. Human Revolution is what's on sale today, at $4.99 for the base edition. That's as good of a price as I've every seen for it. Then you can add various DLCs for basically another $5. Sounds good. Or, if you've never played the first two games, you could get all three in the Deus Ex Collection, which is $11.24. That's about $15 less than when I started this paragraph, in which I was going to point out that it was cheaper to buy the games separately, or go to somewhere else, etc, etc. Maybe I shouldn't be writing this right when the games come on sale.

F1 2012 -$24.99

Terraria - Reviewed! If you're really looking for a deal on this sand box, build anything, RPG crafting game, this isn't it. That's only because it usually gets down around $2.49. Still, if you enjoy the freedom to do whatever you want, this is a good deal, just not the best its ever been.

Fable Franchise - You've got a lot of stuff here, actually. Only two full games - Fable and Fable III, at $2.49 and $12.49, respectively. Then there are all kinds of DLCs for III.

Binding of Isaac - I have personally never been fond of this game, perhaps because it was involved in the Holiday sale contest last year and it relied way too much on chance to complete. It's a rogue like dungeon crawler where explore the basement, and the levels below that, underneath your house. You'll find power ups to help defeat bosses, bombs, and more. It's $1.24 today, though you could go over to the Humble Bundle and get both it and the DLC when you name your price.

Alan Wake Franchise - This one returns today for the same deal it always is. You can get the games separately for $7.49 for Alan Wake and $3.74 for American Nightmare, as well as spending more for the Collector's Edition Extras, or you could just get the whole thing for $9.99.


Flash Sales:
Pyschonauts - $2.49, but the same 75% off applies to the Double Fine Bundle
Bit.Trip games - Includes Runner, Core, Beat as separate games, as well as soundtracks, for under $5 each, or you could get the collection, which includes Void, for $35.95, but that's more than the price of the individual games. *Sigh*
A-10C Warthog - $9.99
Chivalry Medieval Warfare - $12.49
Train Simulator 2013 - $13.74
Castle Crashers - $5.09


Community Choice:
DOTA 2 - $7.49

Bonus Sale:
GMG has got Sonic Generations for just $5.25 when you use their special code (GMG30-DPLIM-DN831).  As well as plenty other games on sale at or below Steam's price, such as the still on sale Doom BFG, which is $14.99 on Steam, but with coupon $10.50 on GMG.
