This isn't on Steam but I remember someone hoping for a sale on it earlier in the thread:

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is on for $27.99 on the Gamestop store (used to be called Impulse).

http://impulsedriven.com/kareckoning

Steam still has it for $59.99 so this might be the best deal in awhile if you don't mind signing up for a new service.

Back on topic, I just had my most expensive day today:
The Witcher Enhanced Edition
The Witcher 2
Thief Gold Edition
Thief II The Metal Age
Krater

I was going to add Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion to that, but I'll wait. I spent a lot of money on the base game and the two earlier expansions, I'm not willing to throw down $30 to add on a few more features. Besides, with everything else I bought, it can wait.

I'm hoping that tomorrow has some better sales than today. I did pick up Dead Island so now I can trade in my PS3 copy and put the money towards NHL 13.

randomly found this (potential) beauty the other night.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/20..._7_suggest__13

I loved Choplifter when I was a kid, and this looks like it doesn't stray very far from what made the original so awesome. Plus it's $2.50 so even if it does suck who cares.

Is dungeon defenders a worthy multiplayer game with friends?

I liked crysis more and found far cry 2's open world got boring. Beware that crysis is buggy and you'll need to run it in dx9 mode to finish while far cry 2 runs a lot better in general.

I bought Civ IV a couple days ago. Should I buy V as well? I think more reviews had IV better than V, but it was pretty close.

Yeah, I checked after I posted that and apparently the video card in my laptop probably won't support it.

I've bought like... three games from this sale, the games I want I keep missing in the Flash and Vote sales. Everything else has been so blah.

Krater is a game I really REALLY wanted back around Christmas. I read reviews and a couple friends played it and there was just nothing good being said about it. So damned depressing. Last game that did that to me was Spore.

They're actually kind of different games. 5 is sort of... I dunno. I've been playing 5 more than 4 recently but prefer 4 if that makes sense.

Edit - And if you haven't already: Jamestown and Dungeon Defenders are absolutely amazing games.

Burnout Paradise is a $4 flash sale. Not my favorite Burnout, but it's the only one available on PC.

Civ IV is a better game, and, oddly enough, sports better graphics, I feel.

King's Bounty is a community vote against two games that have already been on sale. Granted Divinity II was a community vote yesterday and is now on as a flash deal so even if Kings Bounty loses chances are high we'll see it again before the 23rd.

Also, I just finished downloading the D&D Pack that I linked above and it doesn't require any additional applications to launch the games so if you want a lot of RPG goodness I suggest plunking down the $18.00.
