    Today's daily deals are a recap of some of the previous deals. Nothing new here.

    This is the day to look at all of the other games and compilation packs that did not get daily deals, but are still heavily discounted. Today is the last day that you can buy them. There are no more Daily Deals coming, so there's no point waiting any longer.

    If you find some really good ones post them here.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2, £5. That'll be my last purchase of the sales, I think.

    I enjoyed the hell out of Penny Arcade Adventures, but I'm a massive fanboy of theirs, so my opinion can't really be trusted on the subject.

    I'm not a fanboy and I thought they were great as well, easily worth the spare change to get the pack.

    Man, I hadn't really bought many PC games (or games in general) over the past several years as most of them were either too much for my PC, or only barely within the min. specs.

    Got a new, very good PC recently and this sale came at a great time. Managed to get a lot of games for good prices.

    Overall, including some I bought before the big sale...I've spent...

    $589.48 since I got my new computer, on 35 games (plus all the DLC for each game).

    So that is a little under $17 per game.

    I think it would be more interesting to see how much I've saved, overall. Perhaps I'll look that up soon.

    And now you just have to find time to play them all. Paying for a game that you don't play, no matter how cheap it was, is money you've thrown away.

    Plenty of time to come. Plenty of time.

    Already beaten Mass Effect and am much of the way through Mass Effect 2...and I'll probably replay both at least two more times before Mass Effect 3 comes out (and more thoroughly...one as a renegade human first type and the other as a paragon happy fun love type).

    Not to mention some thirty hours on CivV, and a bit of time here or there.

    I have a somewhat short attention span though, so I'll play the heck out of something for a month or two and then get bored and play the heck out of something else before eventually coming back to it later.

    With a number of new games, many that I had been interested in before but couldn't play, I shan't be getting bored anytime soon.

    I knew the Steam Summer Sale was coming. Set up Paypal because I wanted Bad Company 2. Ended up buying:

    Bad Company 2
    Atom Zombie Smasher
    Deus Ex GOTY
    Frozen Synapse
    Killing Floor
    Mount & Blade: Warband
    Left4Dead 2
    Terraria
    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
    X3: Terran Conflict

    I know I should be learning about Gram-Schmidt, ATMega16 and so one, but someone's gotta take care of all these zombies, right? :(

    Did you somehow miss Portal 2 being on sale for £14.99/$24.99 USD for the past 2 days?

    The Valve Complete Pack for £24.99/$49.99 is a good deal if you don't already have all of those games.

    You're going to have to be more verbose than that. I don't know what you're on about.

    You're spending £24.99 for a pack when the only game that you want from it is Portal 2 which was £10 cheaper yesterday.
