These sales are ridiculously good. Even if you don't particularly like either of these games, there is no way to deny that Mass Effect or Mirror's Edge at $5 is simply an unreal value.

picked up Evil Genius. Played a demo awhile back and thought it was pretty decent but wasn't worth $20 at the time. $2.49 is a great price!

I picked up Mirror's Edge for myself and for a gift for my bro, I'm having trouble getting the game to flow just right it's probably because I suck but it's really a shame as the graphics are nice.

If you haven't heard any remixes of the theme song "Mirror's Edge Soundtrack Still Alive" do yourself a favor and check some out on youtube. The Paul Van Dyk one is one of my fav's.

This isn't really a general "steam sale thread", but I was curious about Sam & Max since it's on sale. I've never played any of them and there aren't any demos, so does anyone have an opinion?

I clicked on D2D out of curiousity and the ticker for this sale was at 3 min 50 sec and counting.

Buying it was like defusing a time bomb.

one of the sam and max is free, you can try it out. basically the kind of game that's like grim fandango. edit: it's an OK game if you like that kind of stuff, i won't rate it too high cuz i don't like it.

If you like point and click adventure games, it's fun. The humor is good. Actually sam and max season 1 episode 4 is a free download on steam. Search "Sam and Max 104" on steam.

Thanks for the advice on getting Season 1 Episode 4... downloading it right now :).

I've never really played many Point-n-Click adventure games other than Leisure Suit Larry (heh), but that game was fun.

I was actually going to pirate the game sometime during the summer but the torrent had almost no seeds so I decided to give up. Glad I picked up on this deal though. Makes my conscience feel much better.

I was actually going to rob your house sometime during the summer and steal your pc, but you had so many locks on your doors I decided to give up. Glad I picked one up on a deal though. Makes my conscience feel much better.

I thought admitting to software piracy on this forum wasn't permitted.

Well, at the least, it makes him a fucking loser.

I picked up Mirrors Edge, Riddick, and Batman AA. Will probably get Torchlight and Serious Sam:HD. That makes like 20 games between PC and Console that I need to play.

You're gonna love Batman! It easily qualifies to be in the running for GOTY, imo.

you know all these quality games being so cheap not that long after they were selling for full price makes me think i should always wait to play these games. besides, even the hardware will be more affordable to enjoy these games in its full graphical capabilities.
