Anyone know anything about All Aspect Warfare? It's very sparse on reviews, the one I can find from GameSpot says it's bad. Yet it looks interesting on the steam page.

That's the lowest price I ever heard of it going for new. It's not even on Amazon downloads ATM.

I havent even downloaded it yet. I think I bought it because I couldnt get Skyrim on sale. I thought $16 was the standing sale price for Witcher 2. Maybe it got popular late in life ala ARMA 2.

And it looks like these flash sales are not at 8 hour intervals. I see 3 different end times for the 4 games. This will be a pain in the butt if you are looking for a specific title...a guys gotta sleep.

Flash Sale
Mafia 2 is over
Back to the Future is the new one till 5am est

LOL the one game that I promised my son I'll buy for him if it goes on sale and it pops up on the first day :)

Btw, the BTTF Flash Sales shows up for me as ending 5hours 20minutes from now and counting, which is more like 3am eastern.

I must have gotten my sales/dates/times all mixed up because there was another one that was messed up too, oops!

There are a lot of point and click adventure games 75% off. Too bad I already have most of them, I think

Medal of Honor: Airborne is currently 50% off ($5). I'm tempted to pick it up. It might go on a daily deal for cheaper, but most likely not.

I watched this game all through the Holiday sale. It never got below $5. I'm thinking that's the floor. I'll watch it this sale too and if we don't see it go lower, I'll bite on the last day.


Hi, my name is Rivethead. And I'm a Steamalolic.........

That's exactly what I saw. Those numbers are countdown of hours to end of that particular game's flash sale.

It is set up like GTA. You have radio stations you listen to while driving around. I'm not a fan of rap, but it does fit the game very well for the few parts I've heard here and there.

Outside of the 3 pieces that are part of the Season Pass the rest is really just skins of mostly of stuff in the game and you aren't missing anything.

Is rap all there is? If so that would help me just wait til the Christmas sale, lol.
