Also, my general rule of thumb, now, is if a game isn't $4.99 or below, I do not need it. I want the Witcher 2, Alan Wake Complete, L.A. Noire Complete, but I won't buy them until they hit $4.99, or until I beat a legitimate amount of games that will let me justify it. It might sound like me being cheap, but I have at least 100 games in back log (thanks to the Prince of Persia complete pack).

Im the same way with buying games I wont spend more than $5 on a game unless its a bundle. Why spend $15-20 on a game that you might not play for few a months and get it cheaper later on especially if you have a backlog of games.

Assassin's Creed 1 is a good game if you love the story, however gameplay is repetitive and boring. It takes repetitiveness to a level of its own. The only reason I finished it was because of the story.
Assassin's Creed 2 is the best of the series, in my opinion. I haven't played AC3, but 2 had a fresh story, excellent gameplay upgrades from the AC1, and better combat/mechanics. If you liked Brotherhood and Revelations, but thought there was too much to do (Assassin Dens, stupid bomb customization, a billion different weapons) then you will love AC2.
Thanks. I've bought The Witcher 2, I'm thinking of leaving the Assassin's Creed games but I might grab 2 on its own, I'm not sure. I know people have said to me before that the first game gets really boring and it is a lot of the same thing from what I've played.

I agree. I made a huge mistake in buying Chivalry and Natural Selection II for $13 and $10 respectively. Honestly, there are my biggest Steam purchase regrets since being on Steam. There were both fun for a few hours but simply got boring after that. They also lack the polish of other multi-player titles that are even free on Steam. What makes it an even more bitter purchase is the fact that I have tons of stuff to play already. So, note to self, I won't be buying anything unless I clear up some of my backlog, the game must be on my wishlist before the purchase is made and it can't cost more than $5.

Ha I'm there with you, I got Natural Selection after hearing some good things about it. Although, my Planetside 2 addiction is probably the reason I don't care too much for it.

Chivalry is only fun when playing with friends IMO, no way am I touching that game going solo. As for Witcher 2 I think I'm going to pick it up after I see what sales are going on today.

Also picked up Spec Ops: The Line yesterday for $5 on GMG so far it's a pretty good game =D

Missed this post, but it's exactly how I think about Steam sales at the moment. Sure, x game for £10 might be a good deal, but if I won't play it until the next sale comes around, and it has a chance of being £7.50 or £5 or something next time around, I might as well wait. I don't have a huge backlog of games but I do have enough to keep me entertained for a while, I also have a few that I got bored of around half way through that I might as well go back and finish.

I've bought one game this sale, don't plan to buy many more but I may grab one or two others.

steam currently down?

man when is the racing game day coming? I'm tired of waiting zzzz......

I even digged my G27 out for some Grid yesterday, but the physics of Grid is just disgusting to me. Cars spin WAY too easily...even with traction control. I'm hoping to grab NFS shift or shift 2, wonder they will ever get a sale on beyond the default 50% though..... (they are EA games after all...)

What made you get Chivalry over War of the Roses?
