AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Don't buy anything unless it's a featured (daily/community's choice/flash) deal, wait until the last day for games that are 40% off and below. This should be common knowledge.

Yep, the rule of thumb for steam sales is always to wait for a featured sale or the last day of sales, whichever comes first.

Metro 2033 is a must get if you like creepy, atmospheric shooters. And you obviously do.

Beyond good and evil is on steam? Never knew that, just found out from the community choices.
I actually recall playing the demo to this game a long time ago when i was a wee bambino, and from what i heard, it was made by the dudes who made Rayman so this is probably a must get for me.

Woah hah I wanted BG&E to go on sale because I thought it was 10€ or something, but turns out it's already 33% off at 3,34€. Still, gonna wait to see if it goes lower.

Dear Esther is $2.50, I don't know if it's good or anything but I've been interested in it for a while so I nabbed it.

If I had any interest in Star Wars, I might have gotten KotOR. But nope.

It's fun taunting my brother with how cheap it is and my aforementioned apathy, though.

You're really missing out Turbo.

I just have no interest in Star Wars. At all. I make the occasional reference, but that's as far as I go. The only movie I ever sat all the way through was V, and the whole time I was waiting for it to be over.

I know next to nothing about Star Wars but still bought KotOR. Can't go wrong with that price and those ratings.

One of the things that annoyed me in KotOR was that stealth classes were pretty much flat-out forbidden by the developers with how every cutscene would pop you out of stealth.

aw man

Beyond Good and Evil didn't win.

I should have waited, yeah, but I at least had decent reasoning.
It was based on Skyrim's being on sale. If I bought it, then I'd run the risk of having to buy New Vegas complete for $24 at the end of the sale. that would total $54. My other option was to just buy the Bethesda pack, which had both and some others for $50.
I doubted I'd get lucky, and the Bethesda pack came with two DLC things that NV complete didn't include, so I figured I'd just bite the bullet and grab it.

Whoops, could have gotten them for $40. Meh, I can justify it by saying I chose to support Bethesda for their rad games.

Kotor's up again, god do I wish I had some dollars

At least another good game did. Mirrors Edge is a decent game. The computer controls are a bit awkward, but on a controller they feel very nice. You can always remap the computer controls anyhow, so I recommend giving it a shot.
