Definitely grab Defense Grid. I didn't enjoy the You Montser levels nearly as much, but the dialog alone is worth it.

Me -> Black opps £30 norm £40, deus Ex £12 norm £20, skyrim £23 norm £35

I've not seen anything (yet) that I wanted to get, but the sale is still young. Hoping to see the Take ON Helicopters bundle at a ridiculously low price.  Almost pulled the trigger for Anno 2070, but after checking a few reviews, passed on it.

Oh my, I think I still have a couple games from the sale last year that I haven't had time to play lol.  I am sure I will end up with a couple more.  So many games, so little time.

This seems to be a common theme for many of us....I know it is for me.

I had Skyrim and Dead Island under consideration, but decided against them. I'm not sure of the latter's mechanics, whether bashing them zombies would start getting repetetive, so not getting that at this stage.

I bought Portal 2, Trine 2 and Batman: Arkham City earlier. Batham especially should be great. I'll try that one out when I get a new GPU late this week. I completed Arkham Asylum and loved it all.

I'd have gotten LA Noire already but lack of funds on Paypal acco prevented me. Maybe I'll get it later. I'd have preferred the 75% off, obviously. For other major titles I'm surely going to go for Walking Dead, it's got a nice discount going on now. I considered Deus Ex: HR, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Space 2 but am likely not to buy 'em. I enjoyed the first Dead Space but the sequel is not up to the first's standards, I hear.

There are other minor, or indie titles I might go for. I'll have to see how much money will be left after LA Noire and Walking Dead. Toy Soldiers for example looks cool. Might still go for Legend of Grimrock but dungeon crawling isn't my favourite type of RPG. Those dungeon wall sure might start getting repetetive for me.

I like this new format for Summer sales. There's something new going on every few hours. Those flash deals and the voting are sure to draw people in. I also like how each old bunch of sales continue for a while even after a new one is announced. You get one last chance to go for something if the new bunch doesn't include anything particularily interesting.

I guess I've got way too much time on my hands, I'm trying to get the Steam Summer Sale Badge by voting every day and often. Not sure if that's a good thing..

I've got a number of games from previous sales, too. I want to get some new titles though, to play on the new gpu. Without that I'd not have gotten Arkham Asylum, for example. My current card is getting a bit slow for my 1080p screen.

Snagged DCS A-10C Warthog for $16.00. Going to try to tame this monster of a simulation.

Wish I could get warthog. But no sense doing it until I get a new PC.

Thus far, it's just been two RPGs for me. I picked up Skyrim for $30 plus Fallout: Las Vegas Ultimate Edition for $10. I've been itching for some RPG gameplay, it's an affliction that comes around every 2 or 3 years. So hopefully one of these will do

I have enjoyed Skyrim and have put 235 hours in it. I laid off for a few months then I went back to the winter wonderland of Skyrim in late June trying out the amazing mods out there and it has been fun!

I picked up Dead Island on the sale last month.  Wasn't able to get into it.   Meh.

But Skyrim is still fun.. for awhile anyway.

Head over to Skyrim Nexus for some amazing mods! I have 43 mods going strong with Skyrim now.

Railworks 3/Train Simulator 2012 plus some DLC at 90% off...that is a lot of discount...

I bought this during the past xmas sale for a price like that....was nice to play for a couple of days, but haven't picked it up since then

I have Trainz 2010, but always wanted to try the Railworks game. At this great price, I bought Train Simulator 2012 with the Haulin' USA pack. Definitely too good of a price to pass up.

Thanks, I did happen to check last night around 10 pm (ET) and saw that.  Picked it up! 

So far only have bought Anno 2070 (or whatever year it is) and have been thoroughly underwhelmed.  It's pretty but the first campaign at least has done little for me.  I also forgot that it was an Ubi game which comes with there own always on DRM U(Can't)Play.  Naturally I couldn't play the game the first day I got it because their system was down...

Should have gotten Skyrim but just didn't feel I'd have the time to commit to it to make it worthwhile.  But now regret the decision passing it up!

Still nothing interests me so far but I've pretty much expected that since most of these have been onsale a lot of times. I'm still waiting on Skyrim for less than $10 and that's probably not until next christmas season. I still haven't even finished Oblivion. About the only things catching my eye are the adventure games they've put up but still passing even on them. Damn I wish I had a Xbox or PS3 so I could play Red Dead Redemption. Anyone wanna give me their old  one? heheeee

Red Dead is a great game. It's probably the only game I actually completed on the 360 but as a PC gamer going back to Quake, shooters on the sticks aren't for me. But it had a great story, in my opinion much better than any of Rockstar's other titles. I always hoped they would bring it to PC.

Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate is for 4.99

And I'm enjoying it greatly. Enjoyable.

I think I've spent about €10 in total this year - GalCivII, Sword of Islam and the Trine pack (10 mins ago). Either my self control is getting better, or Steam has already emptied my wallet for everything I could possibly want.

Despite all these deals, I am spending more time considering if I should buy Case Blue.

In the meantime, I have a fine bunch of Eastern Front books about to come my way for summer vacation reading...

Picked up Jagged-Alliance back in action.I hear the latest patch improved the game greatly.
