  • Recommendations for Steam Daily Deals – Day 4

    Hi guys, this is something that I am going to do for this sale. A personal recommendation on what games that you should buy in the daily deals.

    Remember, do not buy anything until the final day.
    If a game is 60%+ discounted, you will probably not see that deal again during the sale and you should pick it up.

    Make sure you have a look at the flash sales that change throughout the day and the Community Choice sale on the right side of the front page. Note, once you see those on sale, there is a very slim chance that you will see them again in a daily deal but anything is possible with Steam!

    All prices will be in €.

    Deals from yesterday rollover are still on sale for 24hrs. So check out my post from yesterday if you missed any deals yesterday!

    Super Street Fighter IV – €10.74 – If you are looking for a good old school fighter, then you should know about SSF4. Do grab it! That is all I got to say about it.

    Saints Row: The Third – €7.49 – if you are looking for a comical “parody” of Grand Theft Auto and still looking for some serious action, then Saints Row is a great game. All done 3rd person (like GTA), but doesn’t fall short of any content, guns, vehicles and side missions. If you didn’t get it in the Humble THQ Bundle a couple of weeks ago, pick it up now!

    Portal Franchise – €6.24 – Do you not have this game? Why? You should have this game! This is a puzzle game with a difference! Do yourself a favor and purchase it NOW and play it NOW!

    I can’t comment on the other daily deals as I have not played or seen anything from those games.

    Have a good look around the site for any hidden deals (Indie games are full of them), and if you would like to purchase me something for christmas, you can check out my wishlist and gift it to me. Doing that will give you the achievement on your profile as part of the achievement set.

  • Thank You for 2012

    Hi everyone.

    I know it’s coming up to the end of the year and I am not going to do a bit for bit highlight of 2012 and bore you lot (That would be boring to write), so I just want to say “Thank You”.

    I have met some new friends on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other sites throughout the year and I hope to be friends with those people throughout 2013 and 2014 and 2015 etc etc.

    Deals from yesterday rollover are still on sale for 24hrs. So check out my post from yesterday if you missed any deals yesterday!

    Dota 2 – €13.59 – If you are into MOBA’s and into games such as the original Dota or even League of Legends then you should pick this game up. This includes ingame items (hence the price) but the game can be got for free. If you don’t pick this up, don’t worry. It will come out eventually.

    Dungeon Defenders – €2.99 – A tower defense game that is in 3D. Do check out the game as it’s really really good. I haven’t played DD, but from what I have heard, it is a really good game. And you should pick up the collection for €12.49

    Dawn of War II Franchise – €9.99 – This will get you everything to do with Dawn of War 2 and Dawn of War. DoW and DoW2 is pretty good, so if you are into RTS’ like Starcraft and Command and Conquer, you should buy this.

    Blood Bowl – (€4.99 for Legendary, €14.99 for Chaos Edition) – This game is hilarious. It’s a comical version of Rugby and American football in a fantasy world filled with magic and mischief. If you are looking for something funny and just for a laugh, I would buy this game.
    I can’t comment on the other daily deals as I have not played or seen anything from those games.

    Deals from yesterday rollover are still on sale for 24hrs. So check out my post from yesterday if you missed any deals yesterday!

    Psyconauts – €2.24 – A great Playstation classic made by the folks at Double Fine. I personally haven’t played this game yet (I’ll play it soon) but it’s a great action platformer. I would pick it up for the cheap price that it is going for.

    Sim City 4 – €2.49 – Ever wanted to create a city and watch it get destroyed? Then play Sim City. If you have played any of The Sims games, then this might be up your alley. For the price shown, it is a great investment and a great time sink if you ever get bored. Hint: Check out the other Sim City games on gog.com 

    Darksiders Franchise – €13.59 – This includes the original Darksiders game and the new Darksiders 2 including all DLC bits for it. if you like a good Hack ‘n’ Slash (Like Devil May Cry), this is VERY worthy. I might pick this up just for DS2 since I got DS1 in the Humble THQ Bundle not so long ago. I am still playing through DS1 and it’s just a amazing game.

    F.E.A.R Collection – €12.96 – A horror game featuring a girl named Alma. I haven’t played this, but I have heard from friends that it is a good game and you should play it if nothing else! Note, the first game is only Single Player since the MP servers have been taken offline.

    I can’t comment on the other daily deals as I have not played or seen anything from those games.
