We've been talking about it for the last 10 posts or so.

Didn't get mentioned on this page yet (with default posts per page setting), and I know there are people who just skim the last page of this thread.

I'm still undecided on Dead Island. Is it worth a meager £8? From what I've seen it looks pretty neat, if a little buggy in places.

I suppose it's worth the money. hemmingjay thinks so and that's a pretty solid recommendation. Just don't expect anything deep, detailed or exceptionally well thought out. In terms of immersion and semi-open world wandering, I think it does pretty well. I can't say any other nice things about it beyond that.

I quite enjoyed the first act of the game, I guess about a third of it, when you are at the beach front area. But after that it got pretty generic and repetitive so I stopped playing. Might have improved later but I can't tell you that.
So really it depends how many hours of fun £8 is worth to you

One F Jef did a steam of it a while back that's pretty fun to watch. Could give you an idea if you'd like to play the game yourself or not.

Starting this Thursday there is going to be a ton of indie games on sale at steam & other vendors.  Looking at the list of games planning a sale I see at least 4 that I'm interested in.

So keep an eye open starting Thursday. 

This has begun.

Metro 2033 is 75% off, bringing it down to $4.99.

Any opinions/reviews on it?

I liked what I saw, but you need a fairly beefy rig to run it.

It's a linear FPS, but the story is interesting and the universe captures the feel of a crapsack world perfectly.

Apparently, even the afterlife was destroyed by a nasty nuclear war.

This is an awfully awesome sale, but there's just too many options. Which are the best ones to give consideration to?

I think these are the best ones that I have played (of the steam ones):

TotalBiscuit had good things to say about Frozen Synapse (which comes with a free second copy).
Dungeons of Dredmor is a great roguelike for the non-roguelike-er.

Gamersgate sells this deal with Steam activation.

Eufloria is fun for awhile. I think the steam rating is at least 10 points too low.

This, pretty much. I gave it a playthrough on console, and the setting was very well done. You could get some frantic moments as well, things like being near the end of your last filter on a trip through the surface, the eyes of your gasmask cracked as you run from a pack of abominations. Not worth $60, but for $5 it is certainly worth it.

Thinking of getting the Lugaru HD pack, which I didn't even know was on Steam until this sale popped up. I played the demo and found it really fun, plus it helps support the developers of Overgrowth (another title I'm keeping an eye on).

[Levi]

Its not on steam, but in case anybody is interested Defenders Quest is also on sale straight from the developer for only three dollars.  Its an RPG/Tower defence game that I had a fair bit of fun with. 

Pretty soon its getting a game+ mode and some updated polish as well.
