I just picked up "Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers - Soundtrack Edition" over at Steam for $1.49.  http://store.steampowered.com/app/205910/
Looked too quirky to pass up. Graphics remind me of Borderlands or Psychonauts.

You know, odd thing was, I was informed that my PayPal account would be charged and I was able to approve the transaction without having to go to a separate site to input my email and password.

Is this a new feature? Or just because it was a tiny amount?

There's lots of circumstancial evidence that the Steam sale will start on either today or tomorrow.  Good luck dear wallets.

ust remember the Steam sale flow chart:

Managed to grab A Wizard's Lizard (never thought I'd say that) for $4.79 due to a pricing error.  It just came out on Monday and the summer sale price was supposed to be 34% off, the same as the release week sale.  Instead, it took off an additional 34% making the total discount 68%.  In this case, I decided to disregard the flowchart.  I'm glad I did, as it is now back to 9.89.

Otherwise, day one is not great.  Was briefly tempted by Democracy 3 but decided against it.  DayZ's 15% discount is a joke.

The Witcher 2 for $4? Yes, please!

I've been watching this one for a while and this price is just nuts. Heard a lot of good things.

As far as I know, I've never had money in a Steam wallet. And it specifically asked if I wanted to use my Paypal account to pay for it. Then Bam. Done. No password or email asked.

An awesome game, and that's an awesome price.  I love the depth to all the characters.  And the gameplay is challenging, especially to start.  Definitely worth picking up.

DMC is pretty good too.  I'd say it's worth $12.

I'm getting all the Payday 2 DLC and the Far Cry deluxe edition with all the DLC. Anyone else own this? I would like to do some co op

[JimJ]

Just realized that Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon went on sale with Far Cry 3.  Picked it up for $3.74.  I already own it on PS3, but the price is good and I'm sure it's better on PC.

Really hoping the "Couch Co-Op" pack wins the community choice.  Octodad is a game I've been holding out for a sale on and I was hoping it would go to around 5 bucks and it will be $5.10 if it wins.

The Witcher 2 is on sale, as is XCOM. Pretty fly.

Anyone played Democracy 3? I'm interested, just wondered if it's any good.

[Pak-Man]

I like it. It's not for everyone. If spending an hour or two navigating menus and tweaking variables sounds like a good time to you (And it is to me!), then you'll love it. I've never played the first 2, so I can't compare it to those, but it's lots of fun.

The Witcher 2 is on sale, as is XCOM. Pretty fly.

Just an FYI- XCom also has a bundle with XCom and The Bureau (the 3rd person shootie game set in the 50s)  for $1 more than just XCom alone. The Bureau wasn't great, but it's certainly worth a buck, especially if you just pretend it's "Invaders from Dimension Z" rather than an XCom game.

I'm on the purple team.  Suck it, losers!
