Steam is having bunch of sales for the holidays... if you a good game that's on sale, recommend it so others can buy it.

Last night i got Ride Em Low.. 3 bucks. Building muscle cars and race them in drag, curves, etc. Feels like a high end browser game... one of those you'll play for 2 days straight then not touch for a month or two until you're bored and then play again. I'd say worth the 3 bucks. If you ever played those old 10ish year old 8 bit games called street rod this will be the next after.

Both Max Payne 3 and the new Tomb Raider were both fantastic in my opinion. 3.99 for Max Payne is a steal.

The Stanley Parable

Simple, yet pretty cool. Not deeply discounted because it was just released. Play the free demo first.

After reading Fooger03's comment and Reverent's noteworty reply, every single MT.Net member immediately opened up their Steam app and chose to download and play the free demo. Little did they know, the demo that they were about to play only demonstrated the concept of the full game. It was not, in any way, a "limited" or partial version of the "full" game they would soon decide to purchase, but a completely different storyline in and of itself. Of course, there would have been no way for the members of MT.Net to know this without either researching the title or playing both versions themselves.

Reus - fun for under 3 bucks.
Antichamber - Will mess with your head more than the stanley parable.
Bioshock (1 and 2) - If you don't know about bioshock, it's about time you do.
GTAIV - It's 10 bucks... But it kinda sucks on PC.
Portal (1 and 2) - If you don't have these games already you shouldn't be in the gaming forums.
Half life 2 - It's 5 bucks and a must play game to appreciate vidoegames.
World of goo - $2.50 I have no idea how i had so much damn fun with this game. If you buy no other games but this one, you've made a good decision.
Far cry 3 was on sale... Not sure why it's not anymore. But it was earlier... hmm.

I also just bought this. It's not on sale, but the physics engine is ******* insane.

If you have an epic PC and want to see what it's capable of, and see how good the engine of that game really is, check it out. Oh, and it doesn't even use SLI yet.

Was playing Defiance last night. For 5 bucks i like it. Its like a shooting game of Rift.


Also debating on getting State of Decay.. its like a grand theft auto version of zombies. The ONLY negative i see to it is no multiplayer.

btw, if you have not picked up new vegas, skyrim and fc3 blood dragon you need to. Play blood dragon first as it's only 8 to 10 hours and worth every minute. Buy rage while your at it, it's not the best but my gf worked on it.

Wife bought me new Vegas for Christmas. It's pretty good so far, but very slow.

Same. Just learning about mods and I might not have a life now. I know DayZ standalone isn't on sale, but that has consumed my life as well.
