    Sigh. The Eidos pack is calling to me but I already own half the games it includes: both Battlestations, both Deus Ex, all the Hitman games, Just Cause and Rogue Trooper. That just leaves Batman, 2 Tomb Raiders and a few other games that I might be interested in. If they had thrown in Tomb Raider: Anniversary as well, I think that would have made this decision easier.

    Then there's the Aspyr complete pack, 10 games for $45 including Cryostasis, Men of War, Necrovision, Stubbs the Zombie and a few other lesser known titles. I know I could get Cryostasis over on Gamersgate for $6 or so and I already own Men of War so I'm not sure how much of a deal this pack really is.

    It's fun. Really dumb AI, really janky overall, but I'm glad I spent $2 on it. Super satisfying getting a headshot from 90 meters, and have the camera follow the bullet all the way into the target's face. Taking gravity into account for longshots is pretty fun, as well.

    I'm not going to buy another game until I've finished the ones I already have. If I have learned one thing about STEAM, it's that the great majority of games always are back on sale at some point or another.

    The 12 games I have no will have to suffice.

    My haul:
    Torchlight $10 :(
    LucasArts adventure bundle $2.50
    Splinter Cell CT $5
    GTA4 $7.50
    King's Bounty Armored Princess $10
    Hearts of Iron 3 $7.50
    Shattered Horizon $4ish
    Crysis pack $13.60
    Trine $5

    $65 total. Still debating the Edios pack, but that'd push me well over 100, and I already have the hitman pack, and the tomb raider that was on a weekend sale. And played Batman and minininjas on consoles

    I wish there were more options for sorting the games you have other than installed/not installed and favorite. Now that I've got a couple of the giant packs I'd like to put some of the games I'll never play down on a lower list that isn't quite as cluttered, but oh well.

    I spent about $80 during the sale, and I'm not sure my laptop will be able to run most of them, and I won't be back home with my desktop until June... whoops?

    I just started a new game of Kotor now that it doesn't require dragging my xbox out the closet.

    I forgot that I really did love this game, not just because it's star wars. good reason it's on of few games of it's length that I actually finished. not that it's super long.

    I feel like I should stop buying PC games during the year, and just wait for this sale from now on. Save myself hundreds of dollars.

    I've been thinking the exact same thing. I bought a lot more during this sale than I had planned, but the prices were ridiculous. Thank you, Steam.

    The only downside are the nightmares about my account getting fucked over and my games inaccessible... :cry:

    I would also like to know about The Witcher. I've heard a lot of good things. I don't normally like a lot of WRPGs, but I actually found myself loving Dragon Age, so I'm eager to get a bit more into the genre. How's The Witcher hold up? How's the story? How's the world?

    The story and the world are the best parts of The Witcher, and are similar in tone (if more prone to humor and gratuitous nudity) to Dragon Age's dark fantasy.

    So Rainbow Six Vegas 2 any good? It will probably be single player only and i do enjoy squad based shooters but I've never played the original. i haven't really found a good squad based shooter that I've enjoyed probably since Rep Commando outside of the BIA series. I guess for $5 bucks how bad could it be really.
