Gratuitous Space Battles, Gratuitous Tank Battles and possibly others @ Weekly Humble Bundles

Pay more than a dollar for steam keys (excl. Kudos 2) and pay more than average for Democracy 2 as well.

Anyone given it a go?

$9.59 if you just want MP3+DLC. Decent deal if you care about a bunch of MP DLC, I guess. The game itself is mediocre at best, and has been on sale for $10 (w/o DLC) several times.

There's also various other Rockstar deals, like L.A. Noire complete for $6 or GTA III/VC/SA/IV/EFLC for $10, etc.

Yeah, I picked up a deal on Amazon a while back where I got LA Noire complete edition and Max Payne 3, for $10, was a steal.

Anyone want -66% off Sins of the Solar Empire: Trinity? Good till Aug1

I'm a HUGE fan of both the Gratuitous games, but GSB without the DLC won't be nearly as fun and your options for multiplayer will be severely limited.

Never played Democracy.

I am loving Deus Ex HR. Great pickup for it and all it's DLC for 7 bucks. can't wait for the Director's Cut that fixes the boss fights

Deus Ex was the most fun up front. Eventually you get so powerful you can just pretty much run and gun the missions.

I am enjoying finding ways around silently so far.

yeah DXHR in stealth/ghost mode is awesome although once you get the full set of "ultravision" stuff it gets a little too easy. Dishonored was very similar (able to ghost every mission) in a steampunk kinda setting, and hitman was also fun for similar gameplay style.

HR also has the worst ending of alltime

What was so bad about it? Because you watched it instead of played it out?

I also don't get why people were so upset about the boss fights. Yes, it's a bit out of place if you go full stealth, but none of them were terribly hard even on the highest difficulty. Now, maybe if you'd passed a lot of opportunities for xp I could see some difficulty (especially that first one), but that's about it.

I really enjoyed the game but I wish the stealth game had been a little smarter. I should be able to knock someone out who is behind another guy by only a foot and not have that guy notice.

That, plus all the choices' outcomes sucked, plus the rest of the game had absolutely nothing to do ending you got. You can simply save your game and watch them all.

It wasn't the worst ending of all time though. BioWare took the same exact concept and made it even shittier.

They were made by a third party instead of the primary developers, and it showed. The only good idea they had in the entire bunch was the trick with the laser shooting through glass. It gets even worse when you play Missing Link and see how well the final fight in that DLC was done compared to the garbage in the main game.

Luckily they are supposedly fixing these fights... well almost 2 years later.

I don't even remember much about dxhr, I just remember I loved crawling around vents and listening to peoples convos or reading their hidden emails. I don't even wanna think what kinda weird shit that says about me.

borderlands 2 (not season pass) and xcom/dlcs are 75% off from here

never used their site but people on reddit saying its legit and you get steam keys, they also have tomb raider, hitman and some other games on sale

Get Games is owned by Eurogamer (UK), so yeah it's legit. It also has the same problem as GMG and Gamersgate though, fuckers don't take AMEX.

The entire final zone is retarded. It turns from being a tactical stealth game (though like I said it stopped being that about halfway through) and then turned into a zombie fighter game against a horde of mindless enemies. Then, regardless of what you did the entire game, you get to choose your ending.

Stalker shadow of Chernobyl is 5 bucks today. Pretty decent. Yeah the first mission sucks because your gun sucks, its not a shitty game, its just a shitty starting gun.

It's pretty shitty withouthttp://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009but actually a rather decent game with that mod. There are versions of the same mod for Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat (which is also on sale and superior to the original game in every way) too.
