THQ is having a sale. It's 50% off their collection. You can grab Darksiders II for $27.50 and Saints Row the Third for $19.99. I haven't played Darksiders 2 yet but Saints Row the Third is immensely entertaining.

Sleeping Dogs is 50% off. I wish I'd waited a little bit to buy it instead of paying full price. ;)
It's not a terrible game, but I've only played it for about 13 hours and I can't be bothered to play it anymore. It's just not interesting enough I guess.

Nobody mentioned Alpha Protocol? I kinda noticed it just with 2 hours left, so not enough to really mention here.

And it's kinda pointless to reduce the price of Saints Row. After all, it got dropped 75% about 5(!) times during the summer sale...
Can somebody tell me how I can get a custom avatar?

Natural selection 2 is 60% off, nothing else that's really worth mentioning.

I'm obsessively watching the Flash Sales in hopes the games I want pop up within the price range to keep myself within...

I already bought BAA-GOTY edition during the Autumn flash sale.

I hope I get a couple I want during this Holiday Sale... if I don't then there is no Santa :-({|=

It's annoying me that Risen 2 doesn't have a bundle option with all the DLCs it has... :-s

Dishonored is still cheaper at EB Games. I'll be up the coast over Christmas at my sister's place and I might have to check out the sales there. I can buy a game from another computer? Not that it matters until the 27th when the wallet will have the defibrillators applied.

If you're inquiring about Steam: it should be no problem to buy games from a different computer. All you have to do is log in with your account.
Note too sure how it works if you're abroad, but if you stay within the borders you should be fine.

I preordered it for £20 from Green Man Gaming but have barely played it. The current £15 tag annoys me now slightly. :lol:
Decent enough game though.

Tempted by Borderlands 2 for £15 too.

Mark of the Ninja is $5 on the week-end deal. It's a great game.

Max Payne trilogy is 66% off. Max Payne 1 and 2 are $3.39 each, or $5.09 as a bundle and Max 3 is $13.59.

I have been wanting to play Max 1 for years, but it does not play nice with windows 7. And it looks like it still doesn't. Both Max 1 and 2 don't seem to want to run on my laptop. That was a waste of 5 bucks. Anyone here have experience getting them to work? I have tried a bunch of the "fixes" I have found on the internet, but none have worked.

Edit: I actually got Max 1 to work on my desktop, so it is something with my laptop that messes things up. I am fairly sure it's my graphics hardware and drivers, and the fact that I have "switchable graphics" because of the dedicated gpu and the apu built in graphics.

Not strictly a Steam Sale but if anyone has used Green Man Gaming before will know they offer some incredible offers.
Borderlands 2 for £10. I'm annoyed that I paid £15 for it now. I took advantage of my store closing by buying it at a 50% discount. :mrgreen:
Plus, the season pass for £10 too. That's crazy.

Also, anyone that was considering picking BioShock Infinite up, £23.99 including X-COM, Bioshock 1 and one other game: BioShock 2, Darkness II, Civ5 or Mafia 2 or Spec-Ops: The Line.
