Does anyone have Endless Space? Does it have a notable single-player campaign, or is it one of those games with only multiplayer and 'singleplayer' = multiplayer with bots.

No campaign. Just a sandbox 4X.

I was disappointed by that.

Sale has been kind of underwhelming for me so far, but its day 1.

I did buy Miami Hotline for $2.50 to play on the laptops

Holy crap this sale couldn't be worse. I've seen daily deals on other sites that top these. I hope they have some good ones for later in the week.

It goes through the 22nd (more than a week). Give it time. I'm hoping the next community vote will be KOTOR2, been wanting to pick that up for a while.

So Far I have bought Saints Row 3, MC Pixel, Hotlines Miami and Foreign Legion 2. Still wait on the things I originally wanted.

Picked up Bioshock Infinite & Grid for myself and a couple for my son. Now we both have even more games we don't have time to play.

These Steam sales make my day so much longer. I just wait for the new daily deals to update and then wait for the new flash sales, and then wait for the community choice. :(

Kind of want Bioshock.

But I should pass on this... Data cap is 80 Gb/month and I used 0 for Company of Heroes 2 already. Shit.

Bought Bioshock Infinite(2 copies @ $29.99 each) and Little Inferno for $2.49.

Wanting to pick up ARMA II.

(if it's not too impossibly hard to play.Don't like dying every 2 minutes in-game.)

I loved XCOM, brought me back to my childhood. Had lots of OH CRAP! moments just like before. I think it's a great buy for $10.

I would skip Arma II unless you are glutton for punishment. It has horrible controls and Arma III is coming soon. I actually only used Arma II for the DayZ mod, but it was also horrible for that.

Is XCom worth $10?


Yes, I picked it up a couple months ago and its the best game I've played in years and a great tribute to the original.
Only bummer is one base, no aliens assulting that base. Otherwise its close to perfect.
