I ended up buying Toy soldiers, Crysis 2 and JA Bia. Far less than i expected. I have even installed them already. Maybe i play them this time?

Now you're just being silly.

No! Honestly, i have played past several check points in Crysis, done a couple of scenarios in Toy soldiers and completed the tutorial in JA.

When is the next sale? It feels like i am running out of games to play.

 I grabbed Galactic Civilizations 2 Ultimate.

I grabbed a second copy of Arma 2 (so I could play with my son)..

and grabbed Toy Soldiers this morning (looks like mindless fun).

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Saints Row: The Third

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Dawn of War II Retribution.

At the end I grabbed Toy Soldiers and Torchlight 1.

I'm so disappointed. I didn't buy a single game during Steam's Summer Sale. The few games that interested me I either got from GOG.com or passed on due to 3rd party DRM.

Yeah, it was kind of lean pickings this time around.

Don't feel pregnant I didn't buy anything either. This is the first time in like forever I haven't picked up something but there was just nothing any good or interesting I didn't already have.

I would have gotten Skyrim if less than $10 probably but that's about it. Matrixgames needs to have a summer sale!  Wouldn't hurt to have a summer sale on HPS games of old either.

I bought WAY too much.

Mafia 2 + Jimmy's Vendetta

Saints Row: The Third

Shogun 2 + Rise of the Samurai

Crusader Kings 2 + Sword of Islam

Binding of Isaac + Wrath of the Lambs

From Dust

Tomb Raider: Guardian of Light

Alan Wake

Alan Wake American Nightmare

Alice: Madness Returns

Batman Arkham City + Harley's Revenge

Amnesia

Dear Esther

Psychonauts

Stalker Clear Sky + Call of Pripyat

The Longest Journey

Driver San Francisco

Far Cry 2

Jagged Alliance: Back In Action + Shades of Red + Point Blank

Prince of Persia 2008 + The Forgotten Sands

Splinter Cell Conviction

I'm still tempted to pick up Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece and Avernum: Escape From the Pit. I have no idea how long it will take to play through these games. The first one I tried was From Dust and I uninstalled it after playing about 40% of it. Cursor control isn't great and the puzzles are usually obvious to solve. The cursor control is what adds the difficulty, not the cleverness of the puzzles. Played a little bit of Alan Wake and it seems pretty good. Played through tutorial of Jagged Alliance BiA and it looks like it is also potentially good. I hope there aren't any more games out there left to buy.

Went back and got Hegemony Gold and Avernum. I am bad.

Now you have nothing left to buy in the next big sale. lol

Your not bad; you are doing your part to stimulate the economy.

Rob should've picked up Hegemony Gold and Avernum first!

I would have, but I was waiting to see if they were going to be a daily deal /  flash deal. :-)

 You did.

By buying so many games you are pumping money into the economy.

Yeah thank you I actually got a job today thanks to that stimulus.

I see that the X series is on sale dirt cheap right now.

I was debating picking up X3: Terran Conflict during the Steam sale because I couldn't get into 'Reunion' due to the absolutely terrible interface & supposedly Terran Conflict has improved in that area. But it was $10 and that went a long way elsewhere in the sale so I didn't do it.

Now they have X3:TC and X3:Albion in one package for $5 so my patience paid off, once again.
