Has anyone ever bought from "Bundle Stars"? I just stumbled across that site from a Steam forums link and it looks like they sell many Steam games at significant discounts when bundled. Is that site legit?

On the fence about 'folk tale'. I passed up the spiderman games.

I had 46 cards, so with a few free from the game, I bought way too much.

Final deals are up.

Kind of bummed Doom 3 didn't break 50% for the entire sale.

It used to hit 75% but I am guessing with the announcement of Doom 4, interest in the Doom series is naturally higher so they are banking on people buying at the 50% level.

Not gonna spend $10 on an 11 year old game with a few upgrades (and downgrades).

I really want Child of Light, but I'm not going to. Uplay has burned me too many times and there are alot of negative reviews about Uplay screwing the game up.

FWIW, that game is awesome, and Uplay is not an issue with it for me (besides being it's usual annoying, update-whenever-it-feels-like-it, self).

What do you guys think of Star Horizon? Though it's not on sale but $7.99 isn't bad. I kinda miss the old StarFox rail shooter type games.

The sale doesn't end for over 40 hours so there should be plenty of time to pick up what you/we want. I've already made my list ... Now just finding the time to logon and purchase.

Well MS Flight Simulator is now priced at $7 with one dlc and $8 with two dlcs. I requested a refund on the $5 flight sim only deal but I will lose 3 deals on Deus Ex games because I bought them at the same time and apparently they can't split up refunds because I payed with paypal. I went ahead and grabbed the $8 deal while I'm waiting on the refund reply. I kinda have a feeling I opened up a can of worms.
