I certainly do hope you edit-list the sales later on, if you're gonna make a topic about a steam sale :P
(Ie.
Current sale:


Previous sales:


Things to stay away from ((Really, really bad console ports or windows xp only games)) )

Things that I've owned and highly recommend:
Metro 2033
Rift if you want alternative for wow
Orcs Must Die
Bunch of Heroes
Amnesia: The Dark Descent <----- Makes even Chuck Norris scared.
Portal 2.


By the way, I like how the people who bought Dead Island for -50% just got royally screwed.
Edit: It was on sale for 75% for a minute before.

Remember folks:
First rule of steam holiday sales: Don't buy anything that isn't a daily deal until the end of the sale (It will inevitably become a daily deal)
Second rule of steam holiday sales: BUY ALL THE THINGS

[inux94]

Indeed Xacez, if you like FPS games with a mix of rpg then grab Metro, it's a steal.
If you like TD Games then get Orcs Must Die, you won't regret it.

I can´t sum it up better myself!

Also, should I finish the Metro 2033 book first? It´s been looking at me from the shelf for god knows how long!

Holy crap, I can't even see all the deals because the browser keeps crashing lol.

[Wynnyelle]

I'm TRYING to buy Metro 2033, but I guess the Steam store is really overloaded right now, haha. It's taking multiple tries and I can't even get to the checkout screen. :P Ack! Looking forward to see other games going on sale. Some stuff I want to buy is on sale now, but I must resist the urge and wait for it to become a daily deal. I made that mistake last year.

Anybody else getting an 503 error message when you open the site or steam store?

[Mascotte]

Wait what again?
Didnt we have one like a month ago?

[inux94]

I don't get an error, but I need to wait about 30 seconds for it to load LOL

edit: got a 503 error after I guess we crashed it.

Yeah seems the site is having a rough time taking the load.
Should ease out in a couple hours.
