Was tempted to get the Quake pack for nostalgia (never bought Quake 1 or 2 back in the day). Don't think I want to "deal" with the shit graphics though.

Right now I'm at 10/15 tickets over the ones I can get from games I currently own. I'm not stupid enough to buy a game only to get the Summer Camp achievement/ticket and hopefully no one else would either. I'm assuming with the three days left, I'll have a total of 20 or so tickets.

You would think that is true, but it is very sad how many people do buy games just for the ticket :(

30 Minutes to the new sale :) I'm still hoping to see Morrowind, the Hitman games, and Mafia 1 to come on sale. Well... more on sale...

Well Mafia 2 is suppose to go on sale too day so there is a chance 1 might also be marked down more too.

Mafia 2 is good if you don't have it already. I don't have Empire Total War but Rome and Medieval 2 are awesome.

Bah, own most the stuff on there and the stuff I do want is more than I'm willing to spend. Though I am ticked a bit that Napoleon isn't cheaper by itself, I already have Empire and don't want to spend more than around $7 on Napoleon. Red Faction seems cool, but by the holiday sale it will probably be $20 or less and I know I wouldn't get to it before then anyways.

Woo, glad Fallout 3 GOTY is on there today. I sold my original physical copy on Amazon for $15 a couple months ago. I've been waiting on the GOTY version to go below $15 for a while now :). Looking forward to going back through it with the DLC

Yay Mafia 1 as I hoped. Also tempted by The Mafia II DLC since I got the game for free with my video card. Thinking about picking up FO3 since I pirated it back in the day and I'm feeling guilty. :)

Are the Christmas sales of the same scope and reach into Steam's catalog as the Summer sale? I literally only have like $5 left to spend for this one.

Anyone know if the Mafia DLC is worth while? (Jimmy's Vendetta, and Joe's Adventure, not the stupid car packs).

Amnesia is always a no-brainer whenever it comes on sale. Definitely get that one if you haven't already. (I'm a big fan of horror games though, so everyone's different)

Will probably get the f3goty today and then have to decide if I want to give ubi any more with the splinter cell pack. Rest of it general doesn't interest me right now.

how did you sale your Fallout 3 retail copy? it uses GFWL and that key is tied to you.

DIrt 3 is still new, so it is expensive, but IMO it is a ton of fun if you're willing to pay 33 bucks for it. Of course, you could always wait to get it for 10 bucks on the christmas sale.

If you haven't played ME2 yet, shame on you, and go buy it.

Can someone describe Amnesia a little more?
