Still waiting for Rajas of India to go on sale. I settled with 50% off Sons of Abraham, but $15 is quite a bit for a CKII expansion...

What happened to "every team will win twice"? It seems to have changed into "red always wins and screw everyone else."

That was probably because Valve changed the rules of the game and Team Red seems to have gone all "GLORY TO REDSTOTZKA" and screw everyone else...

Indeed, valve changed the rules, introducing competition for second and third place, and then the entire truce collapsed.

From what I understand, they introduced new rules in order to combat the truce to begin with... Anything to make an extra buck, right? Although there are (allegedly) more free games going out with these rules, so that's good for people. Valve is still a corporate whore though.

Oh come on, you talk like they're a band selling out. It's shallow scheme to get you to spend money for a place in a sweepstakes, sure, but I still think Valve is a corporate slut at worst.

But they make money off of it, so wouldn't "whore" be more apt? :P

Anyone actually buying steam cards, steam sale or not, should consider a lobotomy. The fact there is an economy over those cards and some shitty hats (that completely ruined the once great art style) disgusts me.

Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs, L.A. Noire, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning are currently on sale. They're part of the "Open World - Great Story" category. L.A. Noire is $6 and the other three are $10 each.

I can recommend "Sleeping Dogs" if you like games like GTA. I felt it had a stronger storyline than GTA IV, more interesting characters as well. It's very similar to kung fu movies; undercover cop is torn between his loyalties with the law and the triad. The melee system isn't as good as, say, "Batman: Arkham Asylum" but it's still quite fun to mess around with. There's more of a focus on melee than guns and I recommend trying to play through with minimal use of guns.

I can't say anything about any of the DLC, but I believe one of them adds supernatural elements, jiangshi, which aren't present in the base game.

Again a weird pricing strategy on steam: L.A. Noire is on sale at €7.49. If you want to pay less you can also buy L.A. Noire the Complete Edition which is only €6.79...

LA Noir is a great lying simulator. Everyone looks like they are lying but few actually are. The game lies to you so much so you lose.

I think I may end up not buying anything this entire sale. I don't have much to spend and a lot of games in the past few years are just shit.

Amalur is fun.  It's pretty much a single player MMORPG.  Also a high level mage will WTFPWN everything and make you go power mad. 

Also R. A. Salvatore did the world creation and lore, and Todd McFarlane worked on the art for the game. 

It has Irish accents everywhere also.
