I guess the steam sale is over - their just repeating the same sales that were on in the past few days.

Maybe the games did not sale like what was expected?

But I'am disappointed in todays lineup.

We still have another week of sales. This is simply a recap for the past weeks best sellers of daily deals.

The same thing is going to happen the last day of the sale with the next weeks worth of daily deals.

Yeah actually I'm tempted on a few of todays deals, I missed the first few days. I did pick up the Overlord collection the other day for $3. I already got well more than my playtime out of it and actually going to go play a bit more shortly.

Darksiders is good.

It is very Zeldaish in its dungeons. Combat is like a simplified God of War.

I enjoy the game quite a bit.

I have it on the PS3, was a gift when it came out near the beginning of the year. Sorry can't help. Try the Steam forums for the game and see, there is usually ways to fix any problems with games in the forum for the game.

PSA:

Wings of Prey could be a ripoff even at 5.99.

Despite being the Steam version you still have to install and use the YuPlay service to play any part of the game. It requires you to log in each time. If theres any issues you have to register again. And you can only register 3 times before the game locks you out permanently. I have not yet found a hack to get around this.

Its pretty much the same thing as Steam only really broken. And if you think Steam is getting a little too painful to use you will certainly want to avoid YuPlay.

someone linked a 360 PC gamepad emulator the other week that is supposed to work with non-360 controllers.

I have some old Saitek analog pad that I haven't used in a year or two. will have to see if it works. was going to try it with Batman, but became comfortable enough with the keyboard to waste time noodling around with this stuff.
