My Steam Summer Sale 2012 List

Yowza, this was a rough one. When the sale started, I thought I was going to be fine. Nothing of interest, and I really thought this was going to be one of those I get away from because I had everything I wanted off Steam. Wrong. The flash sales and community sales were the worst party. Voting for a game meant it would go on sale, and most likely I would have to buy it.  
 
After buying a few games, I put $50 into my steam wallet. If the money ran out, I was done. And things were good, until the Carpe Fulgur collection made me add $25 more! Eventually spent all that and had to use a couple more bucks. Altogether I spent around $110. Not COMPLETELY horrible, but scary, here's my list. I remembered most of these of the top of my head. Some I didn't. As usual.

Showing 1-10 of 20 items

Saints Row: The Third

1. Saints Row: The Third

Bought the Franchise Pack for $25. I've played through the game on PS3, but I was going to wait until they released a version with ALL of the DLC, so I did.

The Binding of Isaac

2. The Binding of Isaac

The last Steam sale killed me because I spent most of my money buying gifts for others. This is the only gift I bought in the sale. It was $2.23, and it was for my brother and sister, who had a blast watching me play it. Strangely enough, my sister has already beaten it, while in my 10+ hours I still can't.

Alice: Madness Returns

3. Alice: Madness Returns

I heard a lot of crazy things about this game, and for $5, why the hell not. This was also the start of a disturbing trend. Anything $5 or less of any interest was bought.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

4. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

$2.50, and it's one of the best Star Wars RPGs out there. So I'm sure if I play it I'll get my money's worth.

Borderlands

5. Borderlands

Bought the GOTY edition for $7.50. Nothing but praise about this game, surprised I haven't played it.

Q.U.B.E.

6. Q.U.B.E.

A neat puzzle game I wanted to play but never got around to buying. Paid $4.74 for the game and the soundtrack. Second disturbing trend, I ALWAYS bought the Soundtrack bundle if available.

Hitman: Blood Money

7. Hitman: Blood Money

With all the talk on the Bombcast about it, I'd be a fool to ignore it when it was on sale. Only $2.50

Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars

8. Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars

Another $2.50. I spent 50 hours in the world of Warband, didn't care for With Fire and Sword though. Maybe Lord RecSpec will rise again.

Mirror's Edge

9. Mirror's Edge

Played it and thought it was pretty cool. Never finished it though. Picked this up for $5.

Final Fantasy XI Online

10. Final Fantasy XI Online

Ughhhh, Theatrhythm made me interested in this. For $11 I can get everything? Why the hell not.
