i was wondering about that too, actually, but since i still have yet to play fallout 3 which i already own i think i'll skip it for now

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

if you dont have rogue legacy now you need to get it. I think I bought it for $7 a few weeks ago and now it's $3. Real Fun game.

also caved in and bought Endless Legend (saw thyme owned it but wasn't online so I couldn't ask him how it was. Seemed like a fantasy version of Civ.

then I got democrazy 3 and banner saga 4 pack.

Various FlatOut titles - 75% to 85% off
I own Ultimate Carnage. From what I heard, you should steer clear of the third game.
