    Majesty II
    Majesty HD
    DOW Platinum
    DOW 2
    CoH
    Space Rangers 2 Rebooted

    I received keys for:
    Nada. But then, there's not really anything I want either.

    I still got some surplus keys taking up space in my inventory. I'm certain I'll give them away eventually.

    What a vanity fair we have here...

    Ps. So. Uhm. Dear Esther, Space Marine, Alan Wake, Alan Wake American Donuts, Fallout LV handsome roads, Dungeon Defenders, Fable One, Machinarium, Bonaticarium and Samorosticarium, GTA SA (without hot coffee, I suppose), Lone Survivor, X3 Terran and X3 Albion and Star Wars Unleashed, Legendary and DXHR Missing Adam. And I expected much more, but nothing that exhaling extraordinary was offered. Hough and many sqaw.

    This sale is officially the shittiest Steam sale to date.

    Shitty discounted games selection with mostly consoletard and indie crap. Shitty prices. Same games being repeated 3-4 times, even daily sales were repeated 2 times.

    I got it in this pack a few weeks ago and gave away the steam key to a BRO 'cause I wasn't interested in VickyII. (Got it for CKII + Magicka DLC) -> http://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Interactive-41051dox-Package1-Plentiful/dp/B0085CD7BE

    Most paradox digital distributions come with steam keys nowadays. Shop around for a better deal than what GabeN offers, then activate it on Steams for faster download speed.

    It was indeed, quite shitty. But not only because of Steam, there weren't really that many decent games released recently. And this indie shit has got to go. Sure, I liked some Audiosurf and Braid back in the day, but 12 bundles is taking it way too far.

    Still, I managed to pick up one or two things, better than none I suppose. Bloodlines is pretty entertaining so far.

    Careful, skyway. Someone might just get you a key for it and demand you get the completion achievement :M

    Interesting pricing by GabeN again - over here in Europistan I get SR3 for 7,50 € but the complete package for 17,50 € (at -78% instead of -87%). :hmmm:

    Also I'm very butthurt that Steam won't unlock that final badge for me, it's refusing to recognize that I joined the official group 3 days ago.

    I bought maybe 2-3 games (Thief and Thief II, Two Worlds II). I would have got Saints Row 3 and Arkham City except the DLC convinced me to wait for GOTY versions. Crusader Kings looked good but I'm not going to spend $10 on a game I'll probably play for half an hour.

    Really disappointed, not enough games were featured at all and the repeats were really stupid, I think some games were on sale like 7 or 8 times over the course of the week. Almost every day I just looked at the titles and shrugged, seeing the same old shit yet again.
