My first gift was Splinter Cell Conviction. All downhill from there.

I have still been getting a lot of coupons. I picked up 40% off The Witcher 2 by already having my Facebook account connected to Steam. I didn't even do any of the others nor do I plan to. Just have to wait and see what the sales and achievements will be in 20 minutes. I did find out one of the computers in another department at my work doesn't have the internet blocked so I can check the Steam sales there for now on!

Edit - Rats, doesn't show the achievements unless you log in, I'd rather not log into my Steam account elsewhere. Another day of misses for me, I already have all the games I want out of the daily deals. Driver: San Francisco is a really fun game if you enjoy driving games, I definitely recommend that one.

Kind of disappointing that it's ONLY Human Revolution and not a franchise sale. I'm trying to get a friend of mine to buy the original Deus Ex because he has still never played it.

Hizaki · 12-30-2011, 12:13 PM

Nothing interesting again for me. Driver: SF is damn fun though...got it for PS3. Deus Ex: HR was also very good.

I guess the other good games would be FO:NV, MTG 2012, C&C, Civ 5, and GTA, but they've all been on sale before many times...

Towers · 12-30-2011, 12:24 PM

Yeah, I am grabbing Deus Ex and that's it. I am done.

The game and all the DLC is $23.76.

Not bad. Wish I could have bought it from Amazon for $10 though.

SolidSnakeUS · 12-30-2011, 12:36 PM

Deus Ex HR is amazing for those who don't have it. Also, I'm considering getting C&C4 and Red Alert 3 for the fact that those are two less games to need Impulse/Gamestop (now a piece of ****). All I would need to do is buy Sins trinity and I would have no reason to stay with that BS software.

**McDonagh** · 12-30-2011, 12:37 PM

bought Civ 5, hope its good man

Smelling Salt · 12-30-2011, 01:24 PM

Grabbed L4D2 this morning. Not sure if I will ever play it but for $5 why not.

Zodiac · 12-30-2011, 01:36 PM

so nothing of interest for me today.

but yesterday i grabbed:

Shogun 2 + the blood DLC (the blood can only help. the more blood and gore, the better, imo ....and it was only 39cents, so what the hell eh?)

Dungeon Siege 3 DLC - Treasures of the Sun (completed DS3 a few months ago and enjoyed it ...so to get more out of the game for $3.99 is cool with me)

It is $10 on Gamersgate. http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-CIV5/si...civilization-v

It was $7 on D2D yesterday.

It's alright. It definitely improved on some things from Civ 4 but I feel it regressed as well.

I always come back to it every couple months to play it for like 7 days straight.

Good for binging.

If you have friends to play it with it's great.

If you don't... well aside from maybe League of Legends I think L4D2 has possibly the worst community in gaming history.

Hizaki · 12-30-2011, 01:45 PM

Finally! Something other than coal and useless coupons...Costume Quest. I just played TF2 for 5 minutes and killed myself until I got 3 presents.

Did the same in DOD:S and got coal. Not too bad overall...something decent for only 10 achievements done (the easy ones)

do you mean that they aren't noob friendly?

because from what i remember, i'd agree with that.

the noobs would tend to get kicked pretty quick.

Yeah, very much so. Just loved the ridiculousness of the game.

I did beat it last night, but I can still go back do some of those side missions/activities.

I played the original a ton, but never got number 2 because the demo ran significantly worse on my older PC. Have a newer one now so I'll give it a whirl at some point.

I will do that, sire

Zodiac · 12-30-2011, 03:27 PM

there's one more game that i wanna grab ...Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/22..._7_suggest__13

been interested in that for a while, but was waiting for the inevitable price drop.

$9.99 isn't bad, but i'm waiting to see if it can become a daily deal @ something like $4.99.

Towers · 12-30-2011, 04:16 PM

You have a penchant for playing seriously buggy games don't you Z?

tml_4ever · 12-30-2011, 04:46 PM

Another coupon!

50% off GTA: San Andreas

hah, yeah, lately it seems.

is that game supposed to be really buggy or what?

i tried it out on my pc a few months ago ...you know, just to test it out. ran perfect. only tried it for around 30mins, tho.

seemed alright. kinda like D&D meets Gears of War.

lol. All DOTA type games have brutally terrible communities. L4D2 is terrible as well. It's very rare to have a decent multiplayer game. I preferred the co-op campaign, for which L4D was the far superior game.

Lee Van Cleef* · 12-31-2011, 12:44 AM

Been playing co op Borderlands with a buddy of mine and I must say it's an awesome game. The only bad thing we experience is connection problems between us as he's in Europe and I'm in Australia so a few times every session the non-host will disconnect and will also experience connection issues fairly often. That's no fault of the game though it's mainly my ****** internet.

If you haven't got that game, seriously look into it.
