Airland Battle is only $6.79 or something on Steam

debating if I should go for it or not, European Escalation was kinda not me.

Think of Airland Battle and Red Dragon less as new games and more as expansion packs for European Escalation. Airland Battle adding in planes and Northern European countries, and Red Dragon adding in ships and East Asian countries.

So if you didn't like the base game, you're not going to like the expansions.

At least GOG has the decency of showing you what the next flash deals are going to be. But yes, in general, kind of annoying.

Obligatory Evil Genius is 50% off with soundtrack

 

[civvver]

I got zafehouse diaries and king of dragon pass of gog sale. I also saw papers please for the lowest price I've found yet, but I'd rather have it on steam and I'm guess the summer sale will be same price.

 

[civvver]

Age of wonders 3 is on gog flash sale for $30. Won't last long.

Obligatory Evil Genius is 50% off with soundtrack

pretty sure it has been -75% before, cause i have it on steam and i rarely pay just -50% for old games

is startopia any good? It looks interesting, keeps cycling back on sale. I wasn't the biggest fan of theme hospital though.

This might be the last day of the gog.com sale. There are about a dozen bundles and a ton of flash sales too. Some really good bundles- d&d with baulder's gate, homm bundle, wing commander bundle, among others.

 

[Quintillus]

Those are some pretty good deals. I picked up the Bullfrog pack, since I've been debating trying Populous and Theme Hospital the last few times they were on sale. It's nice that I didn't have to re-buy the game in the pack I already had.

Also picked up Anachronox, because Ion Storm. And Daikatana, because I want to see if it really is that bad. Is it true what they say - that the developer of Deus Ex can do wrong?

Stop hording Dwarf Fortress

It's basicially Dungeon Keeper in Space. I like it quite a bit.
Decent humor, a cool bio deck where you can terraform a bit. Campaign is not too long, but okay. Skirmish mode is decent.

I'd say get it if it is on sale.

Steam Summer Sale has begun! I'm just going to link to the /r/gamedeals thread because it is usually well done.

http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/28kcq8/steam_summer_sale_day_1/

As for the daily deals today themselves, a few of them are good and then a couple are just a complete waste of space on the Daily Deals page. 15% off DayZ? Whoopdyfreakingdoo. Its still a rough beta.

Hotline: Miami is on a flash sale for $1.49 though which is a steal.

 

[Sonereal]

DayZ being on the front page is irritating and a better, actually finished, game should've been on the front page instead as a daily. At least they're getting it out of the way.

Also, EU is not 83% off. It is 66% off. If you buy EU+Bureau, it is 83%. If you buy the Complete Pack, which includes XCOM: EU, EW, and the other EU DLC, it is about $17.

 

[civvver]

Weekly humble bundle has sangfroid, stronghold cursader hd and cubtractor for a buck. $6 gets you unity of command, eador masters of a broken world and space hulk as well. I have heard good things about eador, mixed things about space hulk. Sanfroid is decent, I have it. Rough graphics and acting, gameplay is fun but it's slow, many, many cutscenes.

 

[SamSniped]

Far Cry 3 is also marked down to around $10, pretty good deal IMO.

 

[Maniacal]

Meh, should be $5 for a daily deal for it by this point. Not impressed.

 

[FriendlyFire]

StrongHold HD !
Was expecting all the DLC for unity of command, not really interested in SpaceHulk & Eador.

 

[Hammer Rabbi]

just bought Dont Starve (75% off) and Xcom EW (60% off not 75%).

 

[civvver]

I got the xcom eu/bureau package for $8.49. Bureau has awful reviews but it was only a buck more to get it with xcom eu.

Also got space chem! My god this game is addictive! I am not usually that into puzzle games. This one is hard to put down.

Today's daily deals... are mixed. About half of them are decent but the other have kind of suck. 33% off on Plague Inc is a rip off, its not that much better than the mobile one...

The flash and community choices are a lot better though!
