  • Steam Winter Sale 2012 Encore Weekend!

    Hey guys. This is a quick notice to let you know that there is going to be a encore this weekend starting at 6pm GMT on Saturday the 5th running till Monday the 7th. It will be the last chance to pick up the games that you wanted during the steam sale and after Monday. The blog series will finish for now and everything will be sorta back to normal for a while.

    My last deal recommendations will be tomorrow. I won’t be pointing out any hidden deals, so you have to look for those yourselves. So, if the game that you were looking for hasn’t been on sale yet. I would wait till tomorrow at 6pm and if it still hasn’t went on sale tomorrow, then buy it for the discounted price.

    Cya tomorrow!

  • Recommendations for Steam Daily Deals – Day 16

    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 €.

    Amnesia: The Dark Descent – €3.74 – It’s the “scariest” game on Steam. I have played it. It’s not that scary…but it’s definitely not for the faint hearted.

    Trine Franchise – Trine 1 €1.99, Trine 2 €3.24, Trine 2: Goblin Menace €3.49 – Trine is a 3-player co-op game that involves magic and melee. It is a enjoyable game with friends and a great story. Do pick it pick it up if you intent playing it with friends.

    Sleeping Dogs – €16.99 – This was suppose to be “True Crime: Hong Kong” before the name got changed. It is like GTA in Hong Kong. Open World. Missions. Cars etc. What more do you expect. I haven’t played it but I have seen it being played and it looked quite good.

    Now, that is it….I can’t recommend anything else today because I haven’t played any of the games.

    Remember to check out the indie section to see if there is a hidden deal in there. It will be worth your time to dig through that section of Steam.

    If you are feeling generous and you would like to purchase something for me for christmas, then you can check out my wishlist. Thank you!

    PS. There is only a couple of days left. What is on flash sale now, maybe A) Repeats B) Deals which haven’t appeared before. But please abide by the last day rule. It will save you money :)

    Sid Meirs Civilization V-Franchise – Civilization V GOTY €9.99 – Civilization V €7.49 – C5 Gods & Kings €7.49, CIV4 The Complete Edition €6.24, CIV3 Complete €1.24 – I have just purchased CIV V GOTY and I didn’t get a chance to even complete the tutorial yet. It’s a turn based RTS. I will talk about it more once I play it more. There was a lot of problems when the game released but has been fixed and they even have Steam WorkShop intergration making the game expand even more. And if you are on Windows 8, they have a touchscreen version of the game included, so you can play it on your Windows Surface tablet.

    Bastion – €3.98 – This game is amazing. It’s a platformer with a great narration and some RPG elements. Do pick it up for that price!

    Now, that is it….I can’t recommend anything else today because I haven’t played any of the games.

  • Recommendations for Steam Daily Deals – Day 14

    (I apologise for this being late. I already gave my recommendations for today on Twitter)

    Magicka – €2.49 – This is 4-player Co-Op based RPG which is very humorous and should be played with friends and not taken seriously. For this price, buy it. The DLC is not really worth it. Most of it is added content for multiplayer which are puzzles and challenges and are not related to the main story at all.

    Now, that is it….I can’t recommend anything else today because I haven’t played any of the games.

    Total War Franchise – €34.99 – This comes with all the games. I have only played ROME: Total War which in my opinion is the best one. I can’t comment on the other games in the franchise since i have never played them. They are a Strategy RTS game that needs a lot of concentration.

    Torchlight Series – TL1 €3.74, TL2 €9.49 – I have only played a bit of Torchlight 1. This game is like Diablo where it’s a dungeon based hack and slash. Really good game and you can sink a lot of time into those games. Some people have said that Torchlight 2 is better than Diablo 3 because it is more interesting and has more content in the game compared to D3. I think this is a amazing title and should be played.

    Now, that is it….I can’t recommend anything else today because I haven’t played any of the games.
