    I just picked up Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 platinum. Used to play the original when i was a kid, so I was blown away by this title. Theres just so much depth and content in this game, I don't even know where to begin. Even though I've just started playing it, I can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorite god-games. Plus, you get to ride your roller coasters!! :-D

    XCOM is amazing even though it is so old. You would think that type of game would be ripe for indie developers, even if they just made clones of xcom.

    Only 1 hour to go... Hey has anyone ever played Alpha Prime ($0.99) or Shadowgrounds ($1.99)?

    They are both dirt cheap and seem interesting enough to play through.

    alpha prime is a great game, me and idol play it all the time and love it.
    the above is a lie, we only play it because its so bad that we derive entertainment from how bad it is.

    I played through Shadowgrounds when it was free on Gametap (it still is, now that I check). It wasn't bad, probably worth $2.

    I really enjoyed Shadowgrounds and Survivor, they're pretty much just unpretentious shooters in the vein of Alien Breed.

    Bear in mind, the games have coop, but it's local (same machine) coop only, no internet play. Frozenbyte really need to get someone in that can handle multiplayer architecture.

    Nice, it looks like you can pick them both up for $3.99 USD. I will add that to my final sale day purchase list haha.

    Network co-op would also have made Trine so much better.

    Only 1 I have bought so far is King Arthur as a gift (it helped that my PayPal balance was $0 until yesterday), but I'm sure Steam will suck up what money I have left in there. After all, in my mind I've already spent it since I put in my PayPal account.

    Yeah, this needs to happen. But I give them permission to fix the loadout screen to not be a huge pain.

    I'd be tempted to get that King Arthur game but my understanding is that there really isn't any morale in the game.

    Torchlight, Star Wars Complete, Jade Empire, Mr. Robot, and I'm definitely going to be picking up the Borderlands DLC before the end of the sale. Everything I'm currently hoping to see pop-up in the next 10 minutes is pretty unlikely, primarily that DLC, maybe a pack of something that I haven't played and forgot about.

    I'd like to see Blood Bowl for a daily sale. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to put $35 down to sate my curiosity. Additionally, a further cut in the Witcher price would be quite welcome.

    Steam is ripping us off, Stormrise has been that price since day 1. I also noticed Universe At War is still also the same price as their "1 day only" price. Todays list has a lot of stinkers on it too =(
    L4D2 has been the same, too.

    Yes, but I'm cheap and want it for even cheaper.

    I am staring hard at Max Payne and Max Payne 2 as I have never played them. Just need to save enough money that I can buy King's Bounty: The Legend in case it never gets a daily sale.

    *sigh* no Vampire Bloodlines special yet... I'll still hope until januar 3rd.

    Another day without buying anything for me. Good deal on Civ, But I hardly have time to play Revolution so I don't see myself buying the game. Already own L4D although at that price, it's worth it for anyone who doesn't have it yet.
