It should be noted that Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition, which has the double pack PLUS the original versions of First and Second Encounter, is $4. The extra dollar is worth it.

@Razer922

I really don't see how it is considering the HD versions are just remastered oldies

So far, nothing has really striked me as a really good deal.... probably becuase I already own half of the steam sotre due to previous sales...

Thank you god of sales. Now, how many sacrifices do I need to give you to get, even a 33% off deal, on Sonic Generations?

Has it been mentioned yet that you can get every GTA game ever for only $12.49?

Downvoted your first one and upvoted this one, just to cause some confusion.

This is at least the second Steam story on Joystiq today about Steam's autumn sale. How about giving some of the other digital distribution sales?

@britboyj27 Agree, As much as i don't like Origin i have to say that Batman: Arkham City for $25 it's a great deal.

There is no such thing as a good deal on Origin. They mostly only cover steam because steam is the only one worth a crap, other than GOG and Big Fish, but those are both niche sites.

There is between zero and zero chance of a discount of skyrim on steam right now. Last I heard it's ~$53 on amazon. That's probably about as good as you are going to get.

I'm with you, but seeing as it is like the 3rd best-selling game on Steam at $60, I doubt it. Maybe the Christmas sale will have it though.

Star Wars: KOTOR reminds me I've only played it 1/2 way through. Should go back to it some time. Should also play that Mass Effect I got cheap on the Spring sale.

people are gonna take my comment as hate or trolling but after beating dead island that game isnt even worth 10$. one of the most disappointing games ever.

well for one the story practically doesn't even exist ans the combat is very awkward. be prepared to repair your weapon like practically every five minutes. all in all id recommend you just put in an extra 5$ and get deus ex and get a much better experience.

Having played through it twice now, I'll agree about the story, but I found the game itself to be one of the most fun games I have played in along time. I love skyrim to death, and I know they have many more enemy body types to death with, but whenever I play skrim and use melee combat, I can't help but think how awesome it would be if you could target and break/cut off limbs like you can in dead island.

Repairing your weapon is part of the game, yes, but your not repairnig it every 5 minutes. As the game goes on you have a range of more weapons you carry, and ones with higher durability you should use for your run of hte mill zombies to keep your repairs down. Plus there are skills that increase your durability as well. But i digress.

This seems like one of those love it or hate it games, but if you had any interest at all in it, or enjoy zombie games, you could do worse then get this game at 1/2 off.

I just wanted to mention that Dead Island is only $19.99, not $24.99. More reason to pick it up people!

For those that didn't pick it up during the indie royal, Sanctum for $2.50 is an absolute steal. Tower defense is way more fun when you can run around with a sniper rifle.

Deus Ex HR worth grabbing?

You mean the game that has been pegged as GotY by multiple sources? The highly anticipated, and successful, sequel to one of the best CRPG's ever? The game Extra Credits just spent an entire episode explaining just how amazingly good it is? [ http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/deus-ex-human-revolution ]

Nah, wait for the Steam Winter sale ;)

Ugh, I picked up both Dead Island and Deus Ex: HR, ended up being disappointed with both. I finished Deus Ex, but it didn't really feel deep in any aspect to me. Dead Island was pretty bad, couldn't even make it through the third act. If I would have got these both for the price they are now, I wouldn't have felt so ripped off.

damn, i was anticipating for Dead Island and Deus Ex HR, but after reading some comments abt them here, somehow my interest went down. Should I or shouldn't i get it? Or mayb i should wait for a bigger discount
