And you did it all wrong! See, you do it like this. Game title in bold letters, like so: Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Then the price. I do Pounds then Dollars, but either way's fine. So: £2.00 or $3.33. Finally, if it's an obscure title, a brief description.
Put it all together and you have:
Today's Daily Deal is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. £2 or $3.33.
This isn't the standard Puzzler Quest. It's an attempt to infuse the puzzle game with a single-player story. How well it works is a matter for debate, but it's cheap, so give it a go if you're interested.
Not at all. Firstly I know nothing about Puzzle Quest, and my Steam doesn't display the prices in £, and I will do bold lettering when it damn well pleases me.
Besides, who cares about the freaking British currency anyway?
If we can't make everyone happy then we should make everyone unhappy, by using currencies that very few on these forums, if anyone at all uses. Like Icelandic krónur, Golden Sovereigns or Republic credits.
Steam says I put 30 hours of my life into this game. But Steam is not correct. It's actually 51 hours (Xfire). For 1 playthrough on easy.
This game is great to play when you want to listen to a podcast or just make time go by. I highly recommend it.

1) If you don't know anything about a game, check the store page. There's usually enough info to sound like you know what the game's like on there. I do it all the time
2) My Steam doesn't display prices in $, but I do it anyway. I'm just nice like that.
3) SteamPrices.com displays the price for all three prices - Pounds, Dollars and Euros. It's what I use. And it makes me awesome.
4) Bold letting is the future and you will respect it!
5) I care about the British currency
6) There is NOOOOOOO point 6.
7) No poofters!

OK, it's not a daily deal, but I just found Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark on offer, half price at £15.09 or $26.79, with its sequel Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog having a third off at £20.09 or $40.19.
They're both aircraft simulators, with the aircraft being simulated mentioned in the title.
der_ketzer - SteamPrices.com hadn't updated, so I took an educated guess. I was off by a single penny. I will never live it down.
JedExodus - The first two Call of Juarez games, both of which are set in the Wild West, are great fun, though in different ways. The recent game is set in modern times and has nothing to do with the rest of the series, except one of the main characters is supposedly a descendant of the protagonist of CoJ1. Oh, and it's also rubbish.
Midweek Madness is Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalker 2012, and its various add-ons.
The original game: £3.49 / $4.99
Special Edition: £6.99 / $9.99 (For actual extras, check here - it's underneath the DLC)
Individual DLC: 39p / 49c
Complete Bundle: £13.19 / $17.99
And today's Daily Deal is Restaurant Empire II, which is £5.10 or $6.80.
EDIT: There's also a five-day Paradox Interactive event. The main draw is the complete pack, which is something like 70 titles for one low price. Each day there'll also be an individual game (and add-ons, presumably) on offer.
Anyway. The complete collection, which has so many games I'm not even going to attempt to list them and will instead let Steam do it for me, is £74.99 or a penny short of $100.
Today's Paradox Deal is the Cities in Motion collection, all 75% off. The list:
Cities in Motion: £3.74 / $4.99
Cities in Motion Design Classics DLC: 87p / $1.24
Cities in Motion Design Marvels DLC: 87p / $1.24
Cities in Motion Design Now DLC: 87p / $1.24
Cities in Motion Tokyo DLC: $1.99 / $2.49
...and the entire collection: $7.49 / $9.99
You should have listed every game on that list, you lazy boy.
But you failed to mention that there is a special on PENUMBRA: BLACK PLAGUE GOLD, which is awesome! It's on for $4,49, which is worth it in my opinion.
And MAGICKA is 5 bucks, and each of the various addons are from 50 cents to 1,49.
Also I found Magic the Gathering 2012 disappointing, the previous version was much better. I just don't like the new cards for some reason. Oh well.

Yeah, I'm lazy, sue me. Check the link, everything's listed there. Including Magica and Penumbra.
I'm hoping Penumbra Gold will go down a fraction further, cause it's not a game I'd normally be interested in, but if the price is right...
Today's Daily Deal is indeed BIT.TRIP BEAT, though it's £1.75 or $2.50. A whole 50 cents more than you thought, caeska!
Today's Paradox Price-Cut is Sengoku, a newly-released character driven strategy game set in 16th century Japan. £19.99 or $23.99.
And the weekend deal... the Star Wars collection (and a few individual titles) are 50% off! Woo! The individual titles:
Battlefront II: £3.24 / $4.99 Empire at War (Gold): £7.49 / $9.99 Knights of the Old Republic: £3.49 / $4.99 Republic Commando: £3.49 / $4.99
...and the entire Star Wars collection is £34.99 or $49.99. The collection consists of...
<deep breath> Battlefront II, Dark Forces, Empire at War (Gold), Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Republic Commando, Starfighter, The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, The Force Unleashed (Ultimate Sith Edition) and The Force Unleashed II.

No, my Steam lists it as €2, which usually is the same as USD. So that makes it cheaper if you live in Europe in this instance it seems.

Ah, but it's only Thursday, and thus not weekend yet. So there couldn't possibly be a weekend deal...yet. So I believe it is you who are mistaken...about a great many...things.
Oh and I'm afraid...the deflector shield...will be...quite...operational when your friends arrive...
Today's Daily Deal is Darksiders, the Zelda-clone about one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. It's not a happy game, but it is a good one, and a steal at $5 / £5 (grr price conversion sucks grr).
Today's Paradox Price-Cut is the King Arthur series, which is 75% off, except the two DLC packs, which are still 50%. There's a couple of items in the series, so here's the list:
King Arthur - The Role-Playing Wargame: $4.99 / £3.74 King Arthur - The Druids: $2.49 / £1.99 King Arthur - The Saxons: $2.49 / £1.74 King Arthur DLC - Knights and Vassals: 99c / 74p King Arthur DLC - Legendary Artifacts: 99c / 74p
(Note that if you want the DLC, you'll have to manually select it from the list, since it's still only 50%. Not sure why, but eh.)
...or all of those for $7.49 / £6.24.
Note that the recently released stand-alone expansion IS NOT on offer.
It's actually different this time. Here's the proof. It seems your overconfidence is your weakness.
Your faith in Steam is yours.

I wouldn't call it a Zelda clone. Zelda is artistic and entertaining. Darksiders is...mindless button-mashing. The fighting style reminds me of Fable, and the story is to my liking quite disagreeable.
And yes the price conversion does suck...if you live in the UK that is! Heh heh. The Americans it seems are getting the best deal. If we had just stuck to using credits we wouldn't have this problem.

Aside from the combat (which is, as you say, repetitive), the general feel of the game is incredibly similar to that of a Zelda game - Twilight Princess, most notably.
I will concede that it's not a Zelda clone though. That 'honour' falls to Starfox Adventures. Ugh.

It's a great collection of puzzles and at a great price.
The list:
Elven Legacy
Elven Legacy: Magic
Elven Legacy: Ranger
Elven Legacy: Siege
All are £1.16 or $1.66. The collection of all four is £3.74, or $5.10.
Look like a decent enough puzzle game, it's up for €3.33

Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.

Call of Juarez®: Bound in Blood 75% off
A WildWest-style shooter. 4.99€, £2.49 or $5.00
It's... well, it's one of the few games that Yahtzee actually liked. What more can you say?
EDIT: Gah! Ninja'd!

It's kinda like COD in the wild west, but it's good fun. I enjoyed it a lot.
The one set in modern times that's just out is supposed to be atrocious.

Today's Daily Deal is the interestingly-named Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!. It's £4.49 or $4.99, which doesn't quite work out the same.
I have trouble understanding what this game is, not having played it. It's supposed to be an RPG which is based around minigames, but beyond that...
Play the demo if you don't believe me.
The original game: £3.49 / $4.99

Penumbra is great. :cool:
The game looks to be alot of fun, i mean how can a game with leaderboards and achievements not be fun?
Does it have a demo? I want to know if it runs on my shoddy toaster.

Out of curiosity, do you know if it's 'free-to-play for a couple days' or 'free forever, but you have to grab it during the next few days'?
Last time that that happened, Portal 2 was announced. Since Valve can't count past 3, does that mean the DLC is on its way?
Whoops, thought Day of Defeat was different. And then Id still be wrong with the new counter strike:o
Today's Paradox Price-Cut is the Mount & Blade series. There's three games in the series:
Mount & Blade: £3.74 / $4.99
Mount & Blade - Warband: £4.99 / $7.49
Mount & Blade - With Fire and Sword: £2.29 / $1.74
...or the trilogy for £8.74 / $12.49.
