Buy now, kick yourself later during the holiday sale (that starts less than two weeks from now). I got it for $2.50 during the last one. My guess is we see $1 during this one.

That being said it is worth $2.50 and supports a 360 controller.
 
This is a pretty fun game. The Metacritic score really doesn't do it justice. It's fairly basic, but it looks good enough and it's one of those games that you keep going back to for a quick game and end up playing for an hour.

There's plenty to do and it's a good value at this price.

This is CAG though and I think I paid less than this during the last Holiday Sale too.

This is the second major content update since the game released, the first one being a survive-for-as-long-as-possible game mode (the new one is a racing mode).

My opinion is that it is a very good game for the $5 spent (its how much I spent on it in a steam sale), good to be played in short 15-20 minute chunks for a few weeks, and it seems that the developer will still support it with new content after this update (at least I hope so, but the developers are nice people).

But like everyone else said, it might not be a bad idea to just wait until Christmas if you're looking to save a buck or two.

I was about to pull the trigger until I saw you mention it might go lower. Think I'll play the waiting game with this one...

Whoa, whoa, am I reading that right - "Less than 2 weeks from now?" I like the sound of that, but I thought last year's was at the very end of 2009. (I remember buying Trine for $4.99 on January 2nd when it was a Daily Deal.)

Can anyone confirm that the Holiday Sale is starting earlier this year?

I think there was both a Thanksgiving holiday sale and an end of the year/Christmas time sale. The end of the year sale was the more epic of the two.

Sounds about right. Between Black Friday and the holiday season, there are multiple opportunities to see games on sale at Steam. Therefore, I cannot wait.

Get your wallets ready.
 
i've stopped buying from steam in anticipation of the holiday sale.

That being said, Zombie Driver has been one of my better "impulse buys" from one of these sales. I've had it for a while (i think i got it when the first content patch was released) and it was a lot of fun...but it could easily go on sale in a few days when the black friday-week and/or end of the year sales hit

Steam's holiday sale is going to be upon us, soon. I got Zombie
Driver, last year, for $2.50. I'm looking forward to adding a bunch
of games, this year.
