    Definitely yes. While you're at it get the whole collection, it's <$20 for 9 games.

    Nah. Not that interested in such aged series with mediocre-to-failure titles here and there. I'd rather use my money up on the useless DLCs of the latest one.

    Thanks for answers though. Not missing it next time.

    I am not sure what the rave about Prison Architect is. It looks interesting and it is by the team who did Darwinia and Uplink, two games I loved when I was younger, but it is completely outpriced itself. The full game without discount should be £7, on par with Reus or Faster than Light opposed to £14 'on sale'.

    It's a much more colorful and eye friendly version of Dwarf Fortress with a separate theme. There's a considerable appeal there but I still agree that it's much too expensive for a game that isn't finished yet.

    Well, CK2 is a different kettle of fish. It isn't a low budget indy game, such as this. I understand why there might be some appeal to the game, I don't see why it isn't priced similar to Reus for example, it is that sort of quality (Well, should be, when completed).

    I loved Prison Architect (and paid full price for it), as long as you think of it as a sandbox after you get everything set up and running. Paying in on the ground floor with a constantly-expanding Alpha and a great Dev team that guarantees me the full copy on release is something that I am willing to do.

    Last year I managed to avoid buying anything. This year I broke down and bought three games for a grand total of about $10.

    I guess you could call it a psuedo-impulse buy. I was planning on buying it since I first heard of it in May, but I hadn't properly budgeted for it this month.

    The "right" thing to do would have been to postpone buying it, but the tablet hasn't been reliably in stock at any of my Walmarts, so I thought I better strike while I could. I ended up scraping my discretionary budget funds of extra cash to pay for it- which is well and fine, but it didn't leave me with a lot of money for things like... Steam sales.

    Don't Starve was no problem. Prison Architect leaves me pretty much tapped out for the month. Pity.

    For what its worth, I did enjoy the game.

    This includes Old Gods which is the first time that DLC has gotten the deep discount. I cannot recommend it anymore highly than I already have. Most major mods have been ported to work with the new start date as well.

    I picked up the Serious Sam series in the sale. I just played The First Encounter for the first time in 10 years. Damn that game was good!

    Steam sale sucked this year. I didn't buy anything

    They were not that bad. I just owned most of the stuff I wanted, so no need to buy it, again! There were some really good gems on it, in my opinion. But it depends if you liked those sorts of games or not.

    I didn't buy much myself, just Dishonered, but like Beskie I pretty much have everything I want. Not buying anything else was more down to the lack of games I'm interested in released since the last sale.

    I picked up M&B and Warband combo and so far after a few hours of warband I got to say I can see spending some time in this world.

    Oh and also picked up Papers, Please for 3 bucks, had to check it out, not much to it, but it was still work seeing what it was about. Waiting for Stanley Parable to get to 2 or 3 bucks and I'll run through that one too. These "message" games are something I want to check out, but since they aren't really games in my opinion I don't feel like I should pay anywhere near full price, which makes for a nice indie dev team / steam sale meeting of the minds with my price point. hahah, win/win

    Papers, Please made me tense.
