It could have been worse, I suppose. I could have spent way more money on way more games. But, hey, the sale’s not over yet.
There’s a monster sale on at Steam until July 4 where a sizeable chunk of the catalogue is reduced in price from 25% to 90%. Plus, Valve is offering further daily specials on selected titles.
It’s proved impossible to resist.
As of this afternoon, my purchases stand at:
* Aliens Vs Predator Classic 2000 – because I loved it way back then and no longer own the disc.
* Alpha Prime – because it was cheap, looks vaguely like a rough mix of DOOM III and System Shock 2 and was developed in Poland.
* Cryostasis – because it rips off The Thing and hopefully, like Alpha Prime, has that quirky Eastern European sensibility I dig in a PC game.
* Darwinia – because it was part of the ridiculously cheap Introversion Pack.
* DEFCON – see Darwinia.
* Gothic II Gold Edition – because it’s an RPG series I’ve never played.
* Gothic III – because I’ve still never played it and it came with the above.
* King’s Bounty – because I miss the days when Heroes of Might & Magic was actually good.
* Multiwinia – see Darwinia.
* Penumbra: Black Plague – because I like spooky games and I recall being intrigued by the demo of this physics-heavy adventure several years ago.
* Penumbra: Overture – because all the Penumbra games came in a cheap pack.
* Penumbra: Requiem – cheap, I said!
* STALKER: Clear Sky – because for some reason I never had a copy of this, just a glitchy beta version for preview.
* Space Rangers – because it came with…
* Space Rangers 2: Reboot – because Space Rangers 2 was awesome and I can no longer find my disc.
* Uplink – see Darwinia.
How do you rate my splurge? And what did you score in the Steam Summer Sale?
