Not sure if this has been posted, but like last year, it has started & already great deals on games. Anyone played Tom Clancys HAWX by chance?? Curious to find out how good or bad it is. Ive always been into action flight sims 4 pc w/ joystick capability. Please post a message saying what deal youll get so that others may go after it (if theyre interested in the same game as well).

**EDIT** Dang, Braid is only $2.49!! Im so going after that game simply cause of the price!!

Lots of el' cheapo games for $.99!!

Yea man there are tons of games I want to get but I already have so many I havent played. I cannot decide. lol
 
ya apparently assassins creed is supposed to be only $5 til 2morrow, but for some odd reason, im not seeing the sale.
 
This just in!! Great deals on select games, but today only!! Red Faction Guerilla is only $10 & Elf Bowling not to mention Cogs are less than $5. Im gonna get the Elf Bowling & Cogs for my mom (mom & I are big puzzle fans).
 
If you're a fan of the Total War series but haven't ventured into Empire, it's half price ($25) until January 3rd.

I'm really considering getting Sacred Gold which is on sale for $5. I enjoyed the 2nd one this summer and for that great of a deal it might be neat to go back and play the original.
 
Anyone else gone nuts with steam purchases??? :P

So far for me...

Fallout: GOTY
Machinarium

Trying hard to resit several 'others' - we'll see ;)

Hah.

You now own Defense Grid: The Awakening.
You now own Company of Heroes.
You now own STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.
You now own Braid.
You now own Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Editor, Shadowgrounds Survivor.
You now own Starwars: Knights of The Old Republic.
You now own Battlefield 2.


On that note, anyone without KOTOR and the Shadowgrounds pack should go buy them right now or face corporal punishment.
 
There are lots of great deals. Just got myself Peggle delux and night, Tourchlight for $5 (its 5 bucks for another 8 or so hours), and Trine. I probably would not have got them if they are not so cheap, tbh. :D
 
Yeah, I finally broke down n bought Dragon Age since it was 25% off.
AC I for 9.99 looks really tempting as well but I must resist >.<

Torchlight for 5$ is by far the best deal

Oh and to answer the OP's question about Tom Clancy's HAWX, it felt very arcade-like when I played the demo, so if you're looking for more of a simulation-type experience then it will not be for you.

I appreciate you posting about my interest in the game. I was kinda worried that noone would. Not sure if I posted it, but I tend to go for more of the action flight sim type games, like Heroes of the Pacific (which I still have, but its grown old). Im still considering getting Heroes over Europe as well.
 
Both Max Payne games are on sale for $2.50 each. I highly suggest the latter, due to the massive mod selection.
 
L4D1 for 7.50$ looks really nice, especially if you don't have the second already.

COD:WaW is half off as well
 
Got Killing Floor+DLC, Shattered Horizon, and DOD:S.

I have, with a flight stick/throttle. It's actually pretty good. Without the flight stick it also is fine, with the bonus of never taking your hands off of WASD(Thrust/yaw) and the arrow keys(Pitch/roll) if you have a mic(voice commands!). The ERS(shows where to go to intercept/evade) is interesting, but sometimes it just kind of makes you do things for no reason, as it doesn't take into the fact you might brake-turn. Assistance OFF is only good for very sharp turns, then immediately turn it back on. Or missile avoidance.

Hah.

I'll take my chances with the punishment.
