^Torchlight II is WELL worth that price. If you're into busy hack-and-slash dungeon-crawling that is, like me.

there is some useful mods in the steam workshop for it also.

That Focus sale is a good one! (Although weirdly I don't recall seeing their WW2 game... maybe it's because I've managed to block the intensely stupid name from my mind, because I can't recall it OH DAMMIT I DO NOW, IT'S R.U.S.E!!! Still can't recall it being part of the sale, though. Great WW2 RTS.)

Update: oh, that's why, just looked it up on Steam -- Eugen Systems made it but published it through Ubisoft, not through Focus.

I picked up Airland on sale (already had pretty much everything else except Testament of Sherlock Holmes -- Focus is nothing if not a broad publisher!), and noticed that one of the packages included the first version of "Wargame" for practically nothing added in. I didn't get that because I gathered that the second game is an expanded and improved remake anyway so I'm not missing anything, but if I'm wrong someone should let me know I guess.

DCS Steam sale today!

Per the DCS Facebook Page:  "On September 9th we will have a "Daily Deal" on Steam that will discount all DCS products by 70%."

I might pick up Blackshark 2 so I don't have to fool with the upgrade anymore.  The only modules I don't own are the P51 and the MI-8, and the MI-8 isn't on Steam yet...and I'm not sure I want the P51 without any period equipment to use it against/with.

I was gonna spread the word around a bit, but they don't have sale prices up yet.  Is it only a Steam sale or something, since they just recently got DCS World on there?

If I'm not mistaken, the only things missing are the Crusader Kings II: Customization Pack and the Crusader Kings II: Europa Universalis IV Converter. Everything else is marked down 66%.

I was considering getting the Combined Arms DLC, but wouldn't it just be better to play ARMA 2/3 instead?

I see the Matrix weekly sale is for 2 of their Close Combat games; Normandy and Arnhem for $19.99 each.  Only one I ever played in this series was Cross of Iron and enjoyed it.  Either of these two stand out as better than the other or is it more just a case which battle is more appealing to the buyer?

Short answer: yes.  Combined Arms is a neat idea, but far from finished product.

Shat guys.... game prices drop like a sledge hammer from 20,000 feet.  Looking at the trend.... within 4~6 months of release game prices are in half.
