Don't miss your chance to add more games that you will either play for a couple of hours, or not at all. Cheap!

LOL Bib.


I'm waiting for both "Alien Isolation" and "Thief" to go on sale.

I got Thief awhile back on I forget which sale, maybe it was around Easter? I paid $30 and it was well worth it, I spent over 30 hrs on the game to finish it.
It's less than $1/hr, that's good value.

Just took a brief look.

It's surprising how unappealing the Steam store page is after their recent update.

I'm still not sure what Valve execs were thinking with this new store layout?

THe payday 2 stuff is 66% off which is a good deal for a good game.

Also, the new layout sucks badly.

I seem to notice the layout helps with searching and looking for games to be better. It used to be where I go through the list and if I wanted to check a game out and then go back, it would start me back at the first page each time. banghead

The only improvement I like from the face lift is the "Already in library" icon that appears on stuff you own. Works well for verifying DLC you own.

Yeah Coot I used to hate that sale list reset too, that and the already owned are the improvements in the new UI, but the layout and new sections like "curated" are annoying and always positioned ahead of the info I really want to see - what's on sale...

BTW Panzer Thief has been on sale for $7.50 a bunch of times, I'm sure it will be on sale again soon, I use the "waitlist" on isthereanydeal to notify me when something I want goes on sale:

I dunno, recently been playing thief and I find the level creation quite lacking.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

Or you put the game in your wishlist in Steam and you get an email when it's on sale. No wondering.
If you say you're waiting for a sale on Steam but it's NOT in your wishlist, then you really have no serious intention of getting it when it's setup to make it so easy for you.
I have games in my wishlist that I will not buy until they drop below $10 because I know they're not worth more than that. But if they do, then I'll get them. If I'm not interested, it's not in my wishlist.

Yeah Steam wishlist is great, IsThereAnyDeal waitlist is great too since it notifies you when other places that sell Steam keys have it on sale (Amazon, GreenManGaming, GamersGate etc) or when it becomes part of a bundle.

I often will be reading forums about some game I own and someone will make a reference to some other game that's in the same genre and good too (or better) and I add it to the waitlist to pick up when it hits that magic < $10 too.

I can't tell if The Walking Dead includes all 5 episodes or not. Does anyone know?
This is another one I've read really good things about...

The story is quite engrossing and be prepared for a challenge. I played it on "normal" difficulty and I still died a lot.

One tip: Be really conservative with your ammo.
