I have the first two. Guess I need to check out Mercury.

Anyone know what's in the Double Fine sale?

Bingo.

Damn, can't believe I forgot to play Scratch and Match to get Braid and Ilomilo. More so Ilomilo, since I have Braid on Steam, but still. There was a 100 MB update for the app and I was lazy and didn't want to wait so I kept ignoring it.

If anyone was planning on getting Happy Action Theater, it will import into the sequel when it's released.

Should I get Costume Quest, or the three loser deals from the S&S app? Not sure how I'll like any of them so I've got the trials queued up, but I would like your opinions on them.

Costume Quest is the greatest game of all time, so get that one.

I loved it, but that's a HUGE stretch. The game was very, very repetitive. Extremely charming, but incredibly repetitive.

I think the Splatters has now been on sale more times than Risk Factions. It certainly seems like it goes on sale every week.

Agreed, it was indeed a huge stretch.

I might stop a little short of greatest game of all time, but it is incredibly fun and I can't recommend it highly enough. Just started another playthrough in honor of Halloween.

Originally Posted by Decker That list is very incomplete. Off the top of my head it's missing Dust : An Elysian Tale, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic 4 Episode 2 and Swarm. Probably a lot more too. This is my reference site.

Wow. Had no idea how incomplete the list I had was, thank you. Bookmarking when I get home.

As for the other link, I prefer the Game Informer one only because I like having one clear & concise list, but I like the other link's division into categories. If they had a page with just one list, it'd be fine.

The only games that the Game Informer link is missing is: Testament to Sherlock Holmes, Fable: The Journey, Fire Pro Wrestling, Sonic Adventure 2 & the Windows Phone 7 games.

I have a feeling that the discounts are done for the day, at least in terms of the Double Fine sale. So it's the usual stuff, bleh. I would definitely recommend Costume Quest (though I wish they'd give it a chance to hit 400 like Iron Brigade) & the DLC, but it's not the best game ever by any margin. Very little replayability (unless you take a longggg break from it), imo and it can seem somewhat repetitive by the time you finish the main game and play the DLC. Still good, but only for one solid completionist playthrough every blue moon.

Thanks for the note about Happy Action theatre being imported into the sequel, I'll see if I can make a note in the OP. TO WORK!

Edit: As of right now, the sales from last week are STILL good, so if anyone wants to make a last minute purchase, go for it. I'll leave them in the OP.

Edit 2: @Strider That's probably because, like Risk: Factions, it's only worth $5, lol.

Edit 3: Have no idea why the font in the S&S app part got small, but it got small wayyy before I did any edits to it. I blame them internet ghosts!

Disappointed to see that Mercury Hg's add-ons individually cost more than the base game now... really?

Also, I love seeing the Robinsons GoD go up and down, it's obvious it's an October markdown but they're probably trying to milk the .01% of people who would buy it into buying it for the higher price until the rest of October's markdowns are finalized.

Edit 4: Just have the Double Fine sale left, so far, so good. Also @Zonic, saw you on the Happy Wars 360achievements' leaderboard. What's your opinion on the game? I also saw Eastx in the Happy Action Theatre forums. It's cool seeing people you know around the internetsphere.

Edit 5: Done! Enjoy everybody. See you next week. And as of 12:41 EST, last week's sales are all (aside from Scratch & Match and Chain Reaction) STILL good.

Question to all of you though, do you think they'd allow Costume Quest to count for this month's rewards promo? And for those of you who added me for Wizard Score on FX2, I finally finished playing all my purchased tables, so my Superscore has seen a marked increase.

Some prettttttttty good deals again, to go along with the past couple of weeks.

I have Costume Quest already, such a fun carefree game. I picked up the DLC last time it was on sale in March, I was just waiting for the holidays to get in the mood to play it.

I still haven't made a decision on which Toy Soldiers and what DLC to get. I'll have to think about that one a little while longer.

Definitely picking up Iron Brigade + its DLC. Also going to pick up Stackings DLC. I missed out on it last time it dropped to 200, so itll go nice with the Stacking full game I bought at 300 a few weeks ago.

I'm gonna have to pass on Costume Quest seeing that it's 600. If I hadn't already played it, I'd definitely consider it, but I'm just gonna hope to find it and the DLC cheaper in an upcoming Steam sale.

It's quite a shame. I still think they should patch in an easy mode which disables achievements, just so more players can actually get through the game. I know I'd like to see the end, but I don't have the time or patience to do so.

Damn those are great Scratch n Match loser deals. All 3 are totally worth $2.50 (I paid $7.50 for Swarm alone, damn it.) I'll probably re-buy Swarm since I own it on PSN. It too has avatar awards as well as it's an awesome game and I can scoop up some quick 'cheevos on it, since I'm kind of awesome at the game.

Quarrel ing rocks too. I had a real tough time in the later half of the campaign because they made the AI ridiculously good.

I'd actually recommend the 3 loser deals over Costume Quest. I think I like Swarm more than CQ.

I whole-heartedly agree, buy it.

CQ makes you feel like a kid again. It's fairly easy, but full of charm, and it's on sale just in time for Halloween. Do yourself a favor and play it.

Considering buying the Cold War DLC and get the maingame when it is 400 MSP too hum....already bought Mercury HG today (wish DLC was on sale as well) and got the first Toy Soldiers with both DLC packs hum...
