-The Last Remnant: $9.99 - If you like JRPGs similar to Final Fantasy, perhaps you will like this game. It's a strategic RPG in that you set up the character's move sets, equipment and skills and let them fight on their own in battle (as far as I heard). I will try it out one of these days.
-Mass Effect Franchise Sale - With Mass Effect 3 in the works, it's good for those that haven't play any of the previous installments to do so now at very low prices. I've bought both and am still working on the first one.
-Mafia Franchise Sale - I'm actually not sure what to say about the series since I haven't played it yet. A friend of mines got it a while ago and said it was pretty good. It's not too long to get through the main part of the story.
-Divinity 2: $19.99 - I've never heard of it outside of the steam stores and I don't hear about this game from the media or my friends, but the trailer makes it looks so compelling! The graphics looks amazing, the gameplay has dynamics, and it seems like an RPG that could last a while.
-Dirt 3: $33.49 - Wow, that's pretty expensive for a sale. I've heard good things about the game, but I don't have enough interest in racing games to get this one (unless someone gives me a wheel controller and pedals!)
-Worms Reloaded: $4.99 - Worms has been around forever, and little has changed. The humor is still screwy and the gameplay is still fun along with the addition of online play and such.
-Fallout 3: $10.19 - I've been waiting for this one to get under $10 for the longest time (and it still isn't, but close enough). Fallout 3 is a First-Person Shooter RPG that takes the intriguing environment and crazy characters of the originals and mixes it with fast-paced action of an FPS.
-Red Faction Armageddon: $33.49 - This just released recently and has improved quite a lot from previous installments. It features the ability to reconstruct destroyed items and environments as well as blow them back up (destructible environment). This installment is also in the 3rd-Person rather than the First-Person view like the original.
-Splinter Cell Franchise Sale - Splinter Cell is one of the very few games (that I know of at least) to successfully bring a immersive and tension binding stealth game from the few that are already out there. Conviction actually is less stealthy and more action, but rewards the player for being more sneaky.
-Empire & Napoleon Total War: $10.19 - If you like a bit more realism and tactics in your Strategy games, then Total War Empires is for you. This is one of those strategy games that can be play for hours and hours. I have a friend that's been playing for years and is still not sick of it.
-Amnesia: $4.99 - This is a indie developed horror adventure game that captures the essence of fear into a game. It has received a lot of positive feedback and is talked about quite a bit through the industry. During winter sales, it was still $10. I think I'll finally get it now.
[Steam Achievements - Daily Missions]
Remember there was a achievement for the game Sanctum yesterday? Well, I ended up buying the game and realized that the level needed for the achievement is the last one! You know how evil and difficult that is? It took me an hour (and something minutes) just to beat the first level! Honestly, the ones creating the achievements for this year's activities is just cruel (or greedy in the perspective of a publisher wanting players to play the game longer).
-Universe Sandbox: Plunge the Earth into the Sun - That's terrible! But jokes aside, I think that should be an easy task considering that the game is a sandbox model game.
-Worms Reloaded: Take exactly 31 damage from a worm with 100 health - Ew, another achievement that requires every drop of focus and concentration just to get it right. I took nearly an hour doing the achievement for AudioSurf yesterday.
-Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time: Fall into a pit of lava 3 times - Yes, die on purpose!
-1...2...3...KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby): Get 50%+ of the maximum score AND 50,000+ points with any song on City 15 - The game uses the same engine they used to create AaaAaaaAA - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (man, such long and wordy titles...) except that you can use your own music to create the levels outcome. The Achievement sound very difficult.
-Galcon Fusion: Win 5 Rounds in Multi-player Billiards - Seems like I'll have to log online for this one. The game was fun for a while, but I get bored after a while. There are tons of clones of this game.
-Winter Voices: Achieve a 100% success in the third encounter of the prologue (departure of the father), after walking on the 'Summer Scent' - This might require some players to find some FAQs or walkthroughs as Adventure games can last quite a while and it would suck to mess up near the end and having to do it all over again.
-Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2: Retribution: Kill 5 Banshees in the Bloodied Colloseum - That shouldn't be too hard, right? Just go into that level and kill 5 units.
-Day of Defeat: Source: Win a round on each of the winter themed maps: DoD_Kait and Dod_Colmar - This might be difficult. Not only is it hard to win a match in this game, but the game isn't very populated anymore and consists mainly of zombie mod players. I always seem to buy multiplayer games that aren't played much or at all lately.
-Wish upon a star: Build a wishlist of 10 items - If you're doing these achievements because of the grand prize, you should have already done this. If it doesn't register as being completed, move an item around and click save and it should say you've completed it.
-Show time: Post your own video in Steam - I've never tried this out, and I guess it's a good time to test it.
There's a lot of good game sales today, so take advantage of it while you still can.
