I think 33% is as low as you'll see a game/expac that new.

Attila is featured in today's daily deals so that is as low as you'll see it. I may have to pick up some Rome II dlc on the cheap.

Road Redemption is pretty fun. If you have memories of 16-bit Road Rash on the Sega then this game is for you.

The videos look promising, but what would really sell me on it is a decent soundtrack. Beating people up on bikes while Soundgarden's Rusty Cage played in the background WAS Road Rash

Steam sales have made me pretty stingy on buying games now...I've had Trails in the Sky on my wishlist for a while and 50% isn't enough of a discount for me to bite.

Goat Simulator for $2.75, though? Sure, why not. The only other game I've purchased so far was because a friend strongly recommended I try out Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth at 75% off. I've been on an RPG kick lately.

I've bought a few of the less expensive indie games this time around. One Finger Death Punch, Transistor, Gunpoint, and Creeper World 3 are all pretty fun to play.

Chivalry Medieval Warfare is so good with a controller, just so damn pleasing. Brutal violence but incredible strategy.

I love throwing smokebombs into a large group of enemies and running straight in lopping off heads with an axe in heavy armor. Most people like to use the conservative stick together approach and it's great surprising 9 or 10 people with a kamikaze axeman

Finally jumped on the XCOM bundle and added the missing bits of The Walking Dead (S2, 400Days).

Tempted by Homeworld but I can wait until December for a little more. Wanted Football Manager 2015 but seems still very iterative with its hardcore fans turning on it. Should probably play Eastside Hockey Manager instead...

In my opinion as someone who has been playing Football Manager since 95 I think it was - it's still going to the best sports management sim you'll ever play and up there for best series of all time!

No doubt, I've been sticking with FM13 since I bought it 2 years ago and I relish the detail that comes with this series but a lot of the complaints voiced by some I can agree with after hundreds of hours. Like the complete randomness in some players, brain farts by keepers and feeling like there's a tilted field.

Been having some fantastic online fun with friends playing Speed runners and Duck Game. A little more expensive when overall polish is considered but more than worth it considering the hours of hilarious action.

I got Age of Empires III for $4. I figure during the dog days it'll be good to do some old fashioned strategy

Enter this voucher code at checkout
GRAB25-PERCNT-OFFNOW
That code is expired, but there is a 23% off code available right now:

GET23P-ERCENT-OFFGMG

According to isthereanydeal.com, its good for 3 more days.

Company of Heroes 2 is the weekend deal, I strongly recommend it. It ends in less than an hour. Can get the entire franchise for under $30
