The Steam Summer sale was kinda meh, but I picked a few things.  I think all for about less than $20.

  • Several Anno 2070 DLC
  • AC: Brotherhood
  • Splinter Cell: Conviction

I picked up Morrowind for $11.  I had played the crap out of it before on my Xbox, but felt the need to play it again without puling out the old giant black box.

DLC for Crusader Kings 2 for $5

&

Galactic Civilizations II : Ultimate Edition for $5

Whats interesting is that with how frequent the huge steam sales come and now that its been a few years since the start, I don't feel compelled to lay my money down. I'm sure the fact that I'm still chugging through games purchased from sales years ago has something to do with it.

I've put in just under 2 hours with Galactic Civ 2. Around 20 minutes in I was feeling dissapointed, about an hour later I started to see why it's still talked about.

Atom Zombie Smasher and Cave Story.

 

Most of what I wanted I already had.  Steam Sales just don't mean that much to me anymore.

Steam Sales are a great way to pick up games I normally wouldn't because they aren't appealing enough for the full pricetag.

I picked up:

Jade Empire Special Edition

F.E.A.R. Trilogy

Mirror's Edge

Fallout: New Vegas Complete

Frozen Synapse

Trine 2

Dear Esther

Evochron Mercenary

 

Total was around 45 bucks.. got enough to keep me busy until FE is released (and beyond)! I held off on a few games I wanted but weren't discounted enough (Witcher 2, Civ 5, Anno 2070). I'm sure they will sometime in the future.

This was a great summer sale for me.  So many games super cheap.

Crusader Kings 2 latest DLCs for $3.50 or so.

The Witcher 2 for $16 (AMAZING game by the way)

Legend of Grimrock $6

Tropico 4 bundle for $16 - Been waiting for this sale for a long, long time.

Oblivion GOTY Deluxe and Morrowind GOTY - both for $11.23.  I have them on CD but for this cheap I'll take the digital versions.

Sim City 4 Deluxe for $5.  Why?  SC 5 will require Origin so it's a non-sale, Cities XL (all versions) no matter how much I want to like them just plain suck and my CD copies just won't run in Win 7 64bit no matter what I do.  The Steam version runs fine with a couple command line tweaks.

I got Fallout 3 GOTY for $4.99.  I already owned Fallout 3 and all the DLC (from GFWL) but didn't feel like bothering with discs and GFWL anymore, so I bought it again.

Defense Grid - The Awakening

Rome Total War with all expansions

Medieval Total War with Kingdoms

The Infinite War Battle Pack for Supreme Commander 2

X3 Albion Prelude (with cumulative discount I think, because I also own Terran Conflict)

The Total War games I got mostly for the Europa Barbarorum Mod, since I can satisfy my needs for historical play with the Paradox titles I own (Rome Gold, EU3+all expansions and Victoria + AHD).

I was tempted by Warlock - Master of the Arcane, but I'll invest my money in Fallen Enchantress, it'll sure be the best fantasy 4X out there.

Some of the best games I already own and others are just not my type, like The Witcher... meh. I love Skyrim though Still... a sale is always welcomed.

I got the same packages from Amazon + the 2K Strategy Pack (which includes Stronghold and Civ IV/V). Only thing I got from Steam was the Korea/Wonders combo pack.

That Amazon/Paradox package for under 13 bucks, valued at 135.94 is a serious deal...

Entirely too much. I dont understand how steam manages to make me buy games I already own for a console and that I know I will probably never have time to play...

 

Picked up medieval (despite owning a disc copy) to mess around with that Third Age mod.

Alan Wake franchise, Fortune Summoners, Wizorb, and Noitu Love 2

Noitu Love 2 is great, the other indie games were definately sale fodder

I would like to second the poster that answered "Way too much."

 

Let's see what all I got:

One of the Indie Bundles (contained Avadon, QUBE, Vessel, and Dungeons of Dredmor)

Orcs Must Die

Geneforge Saga

Avernum: Escape from the Pit

2nd Avernum Trilogy (4-6)

Deus Ex HR DLC (Missing Link)

Portal 2

Mount and Blade: Fire and Sword

Psychonauts

Bastion

 

I think that's it.  And I paid just under $50 for the entire lot, once it was totalled up.
