Just a heads up, their servers are obviously getting hammered. I bought a few things including the CivIV pack, but it took several tries to checkout. None of the big packs interested me honestly, though I'll have to consider Fallout 3 GOTY which was a bit over ~$20.

Peremptor: I think you have to purchase something as a gift to have the extra copies. I ran into that same issue as I bought the indie mix pack and had Plain Sight already.

Anyways, hopefully people can find things they will enjoy.

I'm thinking of gifting the Valve pack but I got to get in touch with my friend first. I don't think he has a Steam account (heck I just got mine a month or so ago).

EDIT: Damn what a shame Valve had 2nd thoughts about offering all their goodies for just 25 bucks and they doubled the price on the full package.

No there is not. While practically every game on steam is on sale currently, those are all of today's deals.

Oh just today's deals, I gotcha. I knew there were other ones on sale, but I didn't realize it was non-daily sales. Thanks!

Got Lego Batman & Deus Ex pack.
I hope they give that nice, or better of a discount for Lego Star Wars during one of these sales.

Was going to get Valve pack before the price raise, till realized I couldn't gift off the extras.

You know they purposely put it on sale so people would buy Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam expansion. ;)

Yeah, but you play through the thing when it's on sale, then buy the expansion pack in three months when IT goes on sale, haha. That's the thing with steam: wait long enough and you'll get your game at a steal.

In for BFBC2 and possibly a persia game.

I keep thinking about TQ. It's a good diablo clone with some more depth, but I always get bored around the same point in the game and never finish it... then pass the disc on to a friend or something.

Why must you tempt me so Steam. I already have 450 games that I don't have enough time to play, why must you make me want to get 100 more?! I hate you Steam, but my wallet hates you more.

/in for 4 more today. Arrg. I was 3 seconds away from buying the Paradox complete pack (orig $539 now $75) but decided that I need food.

By the way, for anyone counting, there are more than 300 games on sale.

450 games? Dear lord. I think with the latest Humble pack I got up to 15 :p

I'm thinking about Fallout 3. I'm an FPS guy whose skills are fading, and I enjoy exploring & good storylines. OTOH, I tried to play Oblivion twice, and found it to be boring and generic. Everything seemed the same, and none of it seemed interesting. Just big and bland. Since both are by the same ppl, I'm wondering if Fallout 3 will be like Oblivion all over again. Fallout 3 LOOKS better to me, going by the videos I've seen.

Maybe I should just get Arkham Asylum for $14.99.

Arkham Asylum is a solid choice. I don't even like beat em' ups but I still enjoyed that game.
