    Maybe they put it on sale because of the impending release of Black Mesa Source.

    Or maybe because only 2 people bought the other deal?
    Well that doesn't stop them from putting the Nancy Drew games on sale. Only I buy those.

    Okay on SPUF you find the answer. The sale was meant to come with a huge update the game desperately needs. Steam had it on sale too early. The update isn't ready.

    Yes, again. It's still 99p / $1.25, and still not worth more than that.

    The Midweek Madnesses:

    Neither Game of Thrones, uh, games are particularly good, so don't bother unless you're a MASSIVE fan. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP though... that's awesome. Go buy it if you haven't already.

    Hydrophobia is decent...for about half the game... before you completely lose interest in the characters and story. I'd say it'd be worth up to $3. It kills an afternoon.

    This also includes the amazing soundtrack of the game which is worth more than the sale price alone.

    That's actually NecroVisioN and its prequel, Lost Company, for £4.99(ish) / $6.24. Not worth it.

    ..and yes, that is how NecroVisioN is spelt. That should really tell you all you need to know.

    Boosh! Three for three!

    ...and now that I've jinxed it, here's the Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    A little late, but then again, if it wasn't reduced, would YOU buy it? Currently £17.49ish / $22.49.

    I wouldn't even buy it if it was 99 cents.

    Today's Daily Deal:

    Also on Steam is To The Moon, which you really should check out if you haven't already.

    Clearly a sign that the creators are back to updating the game. It can't at all be a coincidence that this happened on the same day TB and Jesse finally revive their Terraria playthrough and its all one giant announcement. Right? Right?
    I can dream can't I?

    I agree. It's probably one of the best stories you'll ever find in a video game. There's not too much in the way of actual gameplay in this 16-bit RPG with puzzle elements, but there's a strong emphasis on storytelling, and the story being told is so emotional and well told that it'll leave you close to tears.

    I bought it directly from Freebird Games in February, so I probably won't buy it again on Steam. Besides Kan Gao has said that anyone who's bought the game previously will get Steam keys.

    Oh, and the music is well worth checking out.

    Still no Contracts on Steam? Aw.

    Yeah, just opt into the beta under the Account tab in Settings.

    What the hell is a home button? Oh wait it's optimized for the "overpriced" controller.

    The Swedish Bundle contains: Blueberry Garden, Bob Came in Pieces, Dwarfs!?, Hamilton's Great Adventure, Harvest: Massive Encounter, Lucidity, Noitu Love 2: Devolution, Puzzle Dimension, Saira and The Ball for one amazingly low price. It's an absolute bargain if you don't already have half the games like I do. :(

    Just so you guys know, I'll be updating this thread late tonight. I'm working until 6 (exactly when the Daily Deals change), and then I've got to go and get a new shower curtain because somehow, and I seriously don't know how I did it so don't ask, I managed to rip the one we have. Outstanding.

    So yeah, I'll be editing this post with the Daily Deal sometime around 7:30, maybe 8. If someone else doesn't post it, that is. I'm fine with either, but I just thought I'd let you guys know.

    This game ripped off trophy pictures and the guy never payed his employees.

    Well that's good to know. Little outdated, but still...

    Oh, how the 700 Coastliner bus service has let me down. Why no, I don't think I want to wait another 50 minutes for the next bus just because it's gone half past seven, thank you very much, mostly because it's actually quite cold out now, and I'm only wearing a shirt because I didn't think I'd be out this late.

    Sigh.

    OK. Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    £1.74ish / $2.49. Actually quite a good Breakout clone, I'd recommend it at that price.

    Why? I'm done with the game and don't really wanna go back to it.

    Yeah same, although the missing link really wasn't that interesting...

    Because the game was really good?

    Oddworld Stranger's Wrath got an HD upgrade for free for owners, and is currently 6.99.

    Uh, because I liked it and enjoyed playing it?

    Missing Link itched my scratch quite nicely. But I'd like some DLC that adds in the cut Montreal and Toronto portions. That would be sweet.

    I just want them to do something about those terrible boss battles. Sigh.

    This. Human Revolutions was good. The boss battles I could seriously live without. And without the orange. I hate orange.

    I burned the orange cardsleeve in there and used the pink one instead.

    OK, so I've found out that my hours are changing at work, and I'll be working a lot of late afternoons / evenings as of next week. So while I'm perfectly happy to keep updating this thread, it's going to be happening much later than normal. Like, around 8:30 / 9-ish.

    Like I say, I'm still cool with posting the deals here - I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

    Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    £2.49ish / $3.39. It's one I bought but never played, though it seems pretty good.

    Just a reminder that tomorrow's update here will be really, really late. Like, 21:30. When the deal goes live at 18:00. Yeah, that late. Blame work for changing my hours to the afternoon/evening shift.

    I will post it then if I don't forget it.

    You know, I think a round of applause is in order for Darth Marsden, considering for how long he steadily supplied us with Steam Deals information.

    I have no clue how you did this, I would've been sick of posting deals every day after about a week or so :p
