Bought the Metro Redux Bundle and Grow Home. Just waiting to see if more of my wishlist games will show up as a flash sale. I love these sales. :)

Yeah, I have had it since Early Access. It is good fun, but updates are slow. I play it when I want a break from Project Cars and Assetto Corsa. Sometimes I just want to crash into other cars. :)

Really torn on recommending Homeworld Remastered or not to people here.. ON one hand the $13.99 is good for the base classic games.. On the other hand the Homeworld Remastered is a absolute mess in which THREE MONTHS in after it's release, the "beta" multiplayer hasn't been balanced or changed at all, and the numerous broken functions and features (like formations and tactics) haven't been fixed..

Also how is Valkyrie Chronicles? I have heard rave reviews about it. What are your guys opinions on it?

The anime was pure awesomeness. :D

I will buy this game. And I believe 94% positive reviews from 3203 people I think its more than enough.

Hey look, the reason Valve has yet to make Half Life 3.. They've spent all their spare time designing Monster Summer Game.. Which barely works.

More like spent their time making SteamOS, Steam Controller and Steam Machines which really won't go that far.

Looking pretty sad. Same games on sale as every other "big" Steam sale. Except wow, you can now pay for Black Mesa even though it used to be entirely free. What a bargain!!!

The best we can hope for is a flash sale surprise bargain. Surely there will be at least one can't pass bargain. I hope. . .

Been great for me. I usually don't finish most games because in all honesty I don't find many of them that good, however, there is some fun just playing each one for a few hours so; compared to movies, books or any other kind of entertainment these sales get such insane value. I spent 7$ with all my intentory items sold (~8.00) and will get about 10 hours of entertainment from that $7. What else is that good that's not free?

Bought complete Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, will go for DarkSouls 2 expansion for sure. Depending on the price I may go for Galactic Civilizations (last one), Divinity and Pillars of Eternity

Going with Valkyrie Chronicles, I don't think the price point is going to get any cheaper.

@FelipeInside: true, however I like the look of steam link I'll get one of those for the living room.

Gotta admit I'm curious about the steam controller to.

Anyway on the sales I have picked up metro rudux 2033 and last light, really happy with these.

I may get homeworld remastered later today as well.

I also have my eyes out for the newest Galactic Civ. I also am hoping to see the Age of Wonders 3 expansions go on sale - GoG did it, but my copy of the base game is on Steam

Oh great! I actually dread the Steam Summer Sale. I have 170 games in my Steam library, because of these sales. Some deals are just to good to pass up. I have yet to even try a bunch of games.

Ugh, Grey Goo is tempting too - but I just got Company of Heroes and Heroes 2 bundle, and should probably focus on that as a new RTS fix before collecting another game from the RTS genre (even though they are obviously very different style)
