Steam Summer Sale
I can recommend Titan's Quest, and Sacred 2 which both have Diablo-derived gameplay. Note, neither of these are played for the stories, just the gameplay.
Also, today's sale got me Bioshock 2.
EDIT: I guess I should note I only got Bioshock 2 because I own all the other good deals. Darksiders, AVP, and Battlefield.

Steam Summer Sale
I'm a lot less impressed today. I mean, 50% off stuff like Modern Warfare 2 or AC: Brotherhood is good, but they're still $20. I'm really only interested in the stuff that drops to $5-$10.
In which case, I'm thinking Sniper Ghost Warrior, Tropico 3, and I dunno... maybe Transformers. What's everyone else's opinion?

Steam Summer Sale
I feel kinda stupid. I didn't notice, but anything on the front page that says "Franchise Sale" means the daily deal applies to like, everything in the series. Like, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is $19.99, which I thought was too high. But if you click that, you find out the first two games are going for $6.79 each, and the three-pack collection is $27.19.
That's also why DA Origins is on sale, which I didn't realize at first since I only saw DA2 on the storefront. Man, I need to pay more attention.
EDIT: I ended getting the Assassin's Creed pack. I mostly only wanted the first two, but figured I should complete my collection while it's on sale.

How are you guys doing for the Camp Activites? I've only got 6 tickets total since I'm unwilling to buy a game to enter a contest.
I have a copy of Killing Floor ($10 no character packs) and Borderlands GOTY ($20 includes the DLCs) for various reasons, and they're burning a hole in my pocket. I'm willing to trade them for Prototype ($20) or Brotherhood ($20). PM me.
I'll second any recommendations for Recettear and Defence Grid. If you like that sort of game you won't be disappointed.
Oh, and any Beat Hazard players, I don't recommend the Golden Ship. It's easier to spot, glows like a power up, and has a better spread than the standard ship, but it's hitbox is huge. It's super easy to die with it, and that more than outweighs the benefits.
@Bill <a href='http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1976-Kane-Lynch-2-Dog-Days' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Zero Punctuation</a> has a rude negative review that doesn't really talk about the last one.

Steam Summer Sale
Eh, mostly just been doing the simple non game related ones, same reason as you, and because nothing really been jumping out at me. Been mostly using this as a chance to stock up on older games that I missed out on due to lack of a sufficent comp/funds. Like the half life pack for example. Good to know about the Golden Ship, though I might end up grabbing it anyway if nothing goes on sale by the 10th that has a prize to redeem

Hahaha, now this is more like it! Grabbed New Vegas and the DLC. I think this is it for me; I've spent $30 and there isn't much else that I'm interested in. Maybe VtM: Bloodlines? Eh.
Also, Alpha Protocol was last year's game of the year. Best writing of any game I played, great characters and a great spy/action story. Too bad about the nitpicks...

Just got a Beat Hazard update, mentions fixing the hitbox on the golden ship. Anyone that has it able to confirm that it's better now?
Also, seems that the new Striptease achievement will be giving a ticket later in the sale.
Edit: Just found a confirmation from the creator, the larger hitbox on the golden ship was a error, and is now fixed.
