There was 2 other threads about the sale.. why couldn't you have just asked in one of those?

Mods should make a sticky for the sale.

It's a very unique and fun game if you can get over the bugginess and strangeness of it, and at $2 it is a steal.

Looks amazing... maybe not as good as last years but I am still browsing. Major.... MAJOR props to steams thinking this year (starting the sale a few days before boxing day to prevent problems over the holidays).

I've actually been buying quite a few games, so far I have bought 1. Alpha Prime, 2. Sniper Elite, 3. Crash Time 2, 4. Indigo Prophacey, and that's all so far, I'm currently installing all of them, and I'm most likely going to buy some of the big packs.

But I agree GTA4 is good if you don't have it already.

Nooooo,,,,,too much temptation. I still haven't finished any of the games I bought last time they had a big sale. 71x games on list, finished 4x. Yet I sooo want to click and buy. I think I've become a Steam shopaholic.
Want Riddick but it uses Tages, heard problems with Tages and Windows 7. Or has that been resolved?

That is what Digital Distribution can do, due to you never seeing the money really jumping out your wallet, you cannot control yourself when it is time to go "shopping"

True, but in the old days before digital distribution was big, you generally had no other choice but to buy the game retail. Thus more expensive so you wanted that game you saved for it. Now with games around $5-$20, it's harder to save for that special game. Instead it's click buy click buy. With sales like these you could get 10-15x games easily for the price of one new release retail game. And yet do I have time to play that many games, nope.
I'm going to stop there, I'm not complaining at all, I like these savings that Steam do.
I might just get one game this time (control myself), although I'm googling reviews of Stalker to see if it's worth the $1.49. GF is complaining about my game buying, gonna have to take her shoe shopping.

I got GTA4 and the Unreal Pack, I was going to get UT2004 from gog.com since I already have Unreal, UT and UT3. Guess it doesnt hurt to have another copy of them at pretty much the same price though :P

Fallout 3 GotY Edition, Dragon Age, and Batman will all drop more in price eventually, I'll buy them then.

Plenty of Games to play, I also bought Heroes of Might and Magic 2 Gold for like $7 at GoG today. Its quite expensive to get at Amazon.com

I bought Torchlight a couple days ago :)

RiseAgainst12

Stalker is well worth it, but as a huge rts fan I was not impressed with Universe at War. The gameplay seemed lacking and online is basically dead. Not to mention that for some reason it ran like crap on my intel core i7 computer.
