"Trainz Simulatoa Muachison 2"

I want this game.

Also, never rely on top sellers (it's secret code for : secret promo ads).

Bought Coj : Gunslinger and a few mods DLCs so far.

I'm seeing weird things as top sellers too.  Once I saw a bunch of mods, then I refreshed and now I'm seeing things that do not not seem like they should be the top sellers.

I swear, Steam has been hacked, the friendly DDOS its getting is out of control, or everyone should check their credit cards. Cause the Top Sellers just changed again! Now half of them are mods! (Digital Paintball, Minerva, Sourceforts) Please tell me that I'm the only one seeing this.

Must just be you. I'm seeing Recettear, The Polynomial, Disciples II and on as the top sellers.

I'm just confused how they could possibly be selling more than Dishonored, Max Payne 3, or even Wargame: Air Land Battle.

Well, their old (deprecated) forums were hacked.  The rest of the problems are probably just buggy programming. 

This is probably it. Valve, fix Steam, then get back to Portal/TF/Half-Life 3.

Yeah, Steam derped under pressure for a while, for me it reverted to the non-sale layout with yesterday's sales.

I strongly recommend Mirror's Edge. Especially if you were thinking about buying Remember Me. From what I heard about Remember Me, Mirror's Edge is the exact opposite of RM - story is rather underwhelming, but you don't play it to watch the story, you play it because PARKOOOOOUUUR!

Yeah Mirrors Edge is great.    I felt so bad when I accidentally kicked that one policeman off a skyscraper, but then I died inside and embraced violence for the rest of the game.

It helps if you know that those aren't exactly policemen, but in more ways than one something like Belltower in DX:HR, and you only meet two actual policemen, both of which are on your side.

Also, gameplay aside, I utterly love ME's graphical style, it looks like someone mistook a De Stijl painting for instructions on how to paint the buildings in the city centre. It's a nice touch that in one level, you see a plant and the plant is white.

Ya double posted there.

Glad to see I'm not alone/crazy.

I've had my share of fun playing Novalogic's Delta Force Series (The classic ones (Boot Camp Pack) Graphics aren't much compared to nowadays, but the missions are fun), but has anyone played any of the games in the Machines of War pack? How fun are they to play? How well do they simulate the craft the games are centered around?

Fun thing about Delta Force is that you can choose your weapon layout, and go about the missions as you see fit (minimal penalties, unless you fail one of the core mission guidelines; so no stopping you from point-blank firing a Barret rifle or shotgun on your targets), as long as you follow the basic guidelines. Nothing like silently killing everyone inside a mine with a knife, and clearing out a room with a satchel charge when they least suspect it. Or sneaking into an enemy convoy, and popping their security from the opposite side of the gates from inside one of their own trucks. Sometimes the AI might not be the smartest. I have given myself a personal reputation of always getting my partner shot in the ass by my own friendly fire (either they look like the enemy, and in a panic I shoot them, or they run in front of me while I'm shooting (reason I stick to semi, and not full auto or burst, because of that; also ammo conservation)). Alpha squad hates my guts for that.

EDIT:
Looking back, how many missions have I deviated from because I thought some of the waypoint layouts and such were outright retarded; as well as some of their advised tactics (fewer missions than you think had "bad idea" written in them, in other cases, I did things my own way), I just decided instead to snipe everything from a distance (sometimes, opposite the waypoint pathing straight into enemy fire, and grenade the rest still standing, up close?

[Kydrasz]

Now that the Dawn of War games are on sale, which one would be better for a newcomer to the series?  The first one or the second one?

Depends on which style of rts you prefer.
The first one is the usual base-building massive army battles.
Whereas the second one replaces the armies with hero units and squads to support them. (Like company of heroes.)

[umiman]

Dark Crusade also had a fantastic persistent campaign thing. I don't think any other RTS has matched it to this day.

[Anvilfolk]

Yeah, more sandboxy campaigns are great because you can always do it again and with a different race, a different strategy, and there's just more gameplay that you like. Doing the same missions over and over simply can't top that. Even tree-like campaigns feel linear to me.

I second Mirror's Edge, though I was sad they pretty much make you fight people here and there. I'd have loved for it to be possible to do a peaceful playthrough without having to try everything a million times until it glitches and you don't have to attack a guy.

Is Organ Trail worth it?

[Shadowlord]

Looking at the steam sales, seeing Organ Trail, thinking "I thought this was free. I remember playing it and it was free."

[nenjin]

I want to like Organ Trail, but the aiming during the "action" bits is fucking atrocious. And since you basically can't survive that game w/o searching for supplies and getting mobbed by zombies....meh.
