What to buy on the Summer Sale: DAY 1

[Paladin]

PRAISE LORD GABEN!
I'm going to give recommendations on games on sale today.

7/11


Daily Deals

Bioshock Infinite
DO NOT BUY ON STEAM! It is cheaper by $6 at greenmangaming with voucher code: GMG20-F202F-UI40F
This is one of those games everyone praises, but will probably only last you one playthrough or so. I'd recommend torrenting or waiting until it's $5, like the rest of the series. Do not buy.

Don't Starve
An interesting survival game that will challenge you and will occupy you when you need a quick lower-end game to play. I'd recommend picking this up. Buy it.

Endless Space
Looks to be a space empire simulator. I have not played it, but if it interests you, 66% off is a good price point to jump in at. Buy it if you're interested.

Hotline Miami
I beat this game in 5 hours and didn't really enjoy it. It's a top-down game that is quick and brutal, emphasizing one-shot kills and strategy. At $2.49, it's kind of hard to pass up, considering it's considered to be a good indie game by others. Buy it.

Toki Tori 2+
This was in a Humble Bundle for $1 and I still didn't buy it. Why would you buy it at $9+?

Left 4 Dead 2
Buy it. It's an arcade horror/survival game that encourages teamwork and discourages Rambo-esque gameplay. Includes the campaigns of the first game and has a lot of replay value. Buy buy buy buy.

Scribblenauts Unlimited
A game where you create things to solve puzzles. It's quite comical. Cheapest it's been, and it's worth it. Buy it if you're interested.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger
At 33%, it'll go lower. Unless you need it now, skip it.

Antichamber
One abstract motherfucking puzzle game. There's no real way to describe it, but it's 66% off. If you're interested, go for it.

Defiance
A pay once, play forever MMO. It handles like Borderlands. At 66% this soon, it might be cause for concern, but if you have friends to play with, do it.





Flash Sales

Dark Souls
A challenging game often with exaggerated claims of difficulty. Definitely worth the price of entry. Buy this if you have a controller.

Bastion
A short action game with an interesting story. It has a lot of replay value and difficulty modifiers for replay value. Buybuybuy.

Euro Truck Simulator
$10 to drive trucks? You'd have to pay me to do this. Do not buy.

Cities XL
Utterly decent city building sim. Hold off for Simcity 4 or Tropico 4, both are far better.





Community Choice

Borderlands 2
A stat-based co-op shoot n' loot. Honestly, only buy this if you have someone to play with. It's only ~$10 for the base game, so buy it if you have a friend or two to play with.

What are you smoking? Left 4 Dead has no replay value. The only variation is monster placement.

The first day of Steam's summer sales has turned out shitty like usual.

I agree! Although Scribblenauts seems okay, if I don't like it I know my younger brother will. (Thinking about buying it, its pretty cheap..).

it's the mods that make the game good

You obviously need to buy KF with ALL the DLCs

Which brings me to my next point: the game may only be decent thanks to player-submitted content. Excluding the Half-Life series, Valve games are so bad.

Did that when it was cheap! 12.50 before tax!
