Looks like they finally added the Two Worlds 2 'Velvet' Edition (Base game + the expansion) -- on sale now for $20. I've heard a lot of negatives so I'll wait it out for another 66% sale (or higher).

Saints Row 3 is p. cool. It has a lot of DLC, but it's THQ so it's all useless crap like costumes packs.

It also mocks Mass Effect, isn't that the kool thing to do on the codex?

I grabbed Saints Row 3 with the season pass for $30 a while back and had a great time with it. Not a hard game at all (On normal) but I really enjoyed the humor in it. Amusing dialog, and some absolutely ridiculously over the top silly shit provided me with a good time. Dumped something like 30 hours in to it so far and I'm considering replaying whenever I get a new video card so I can hear a different voice actor on the main character and run with cranked up graphics.

Not sure I'd say $25 is a particularly good deal, but I'm pleased with my purchase since I ended up enjoying it so much.

Is Recettear worth $7? I think some people here said good things about it.

Nope. Got it in a $5 for 5 games bundle on Steam a while back and tried it. You start off thinking "Hey, running a shop in a generic fantasy game town this might be kinda cool despite the anime" and you buy shit wholesale and try to sell it for a respectable profit. Shortly thereafter you learn about adventurers. Adventurers go off to explore dungeons (With you controlling them) and all loot they acquire from the dungeon goes straight to you. No cut to the adventurer, no recruiting fee to send them off, nothing. Shortly after THAT you realize that buying items wholesale is for the birds, and you'll get all your shop's stock from adventuring since even if you sell shit at 80% value that's still entirely profit. And shortly after THAT you realize you're playing a dull anime dungeon crawler with an overly elaborate "Sell shit in town" phase.

Sounds like fun for a few hours. Unfortunately for Gabe & devs I've got long list of indie cRPG and roguelikes to play, so I won't spend 5€ on another game for now. Perhaps summer sale?

Funny, I never did much adventuring and made all my profit from buying and selling without going into the dungeons.

It's pretty entertaining, funny but kind of simple (console port), might want to wait for a bigger sale.

This. The dungeons were really more for "fun" or people who are too dumb to buy and sell properly, lol.

Majesty 2 is the daily deal. $5 for the complete edition, $2.50 for the base and all the DLC is 75% off if you want to buy it piecemeal. I preferred it to the original (which just seemed largely chaotic). It isn't without bugs and balance issues but well worth that price.
