The new steam sale is going on... and wow. I picked up FTL for US$2.50. And currentally GTA 4 is on sale for only US$5.

Also, there are cards for some reason. I honestly do not understand it myself.

The trading cards are obtained by playing games that you spent money on. They can then be sold on the marketplace for about $0.20 or used to upgrade your account and get rewards. Or something like that. I just sold all of mine.

Granted, it was made for a winter sale... but the same idea applies.

I have about 7.50 € in my account. I'm thinking of buying either C&C 3: Kane's Wrath or Portal 2. I hear Portal 2's pretty good and I can get another source of trading cards.

Also, did you know that for every 3 votes for community's choice you get a summer trading card?

Hmmm... if Deus Ex: Human Revolution gets the next Community's Choice in about 3 hours I could buy it for 1.80 €... I hear it's a good game and I like a good story, though I'm not much into RPGs. I might still try it.

Deux Ex HR was a good game in my opinion. I got it on the last daily deal. It's really stealth oriented though so that can be good or bad depending on how you play.

Good games for super cheap I noticed on sale today:

Alan Wake is 90% off ATM, I HIGHLY recommend it if you like horror FPS. The atmosphere is amazing and the writing is as well.

Torchlight 2 75% off, boy that's nice for such a good ARPG.

Terraria is $2.50 (75% off).

Is it me, or is Deux Ex's voice actor trying to imitate Batman? Or maybe it IS Batman!

I ALMOST bought HOMM4 Gold, but after seeing the battles are always only against 2 enemies I decided to not. All I wound up getting was Bio2. If Dawnguard goes 75% off I'm so getting it though..because I have a really good reason..
