All of Hearts of Iron 3 on sale at Steam this week, for $11.24 total. (75% off)

The GoGification of Steam continues with Descent: Freespace -- the Great War at $3. Freespace (moreso its sequel) is widely regarded as the best of that generation of pure sci-fi combat pilot sims (starting with Descent itself and Wing Commander).

Pride of Nations 60% off. I may get this just to have the proper patching... (sigh). Weirdly, even though it and its expansion scenarios are 60% off, the collected package is still full price. U'geek, SDR, and Tuna (whom we're told never runs an AAR) are running a very nice AAR right now on Grogheads here. Criminey!

Imperium Romanum Gold Edition I've heard a lot of good things about this game, so I bought it a while back though I haven't played it yet. $2.50

Lords of Football or as I like to call it Soccer Sims. I own it but haven't played it. $7.50

Can you play Descent: Freespace without a joystick (just the keyboard)?

[RooksBailey]

I just was over at Matrix to pick up the Brandy Station expansion for Scourge of War.  When checking out I saw that I could add any additional expansion for the game and get a 20% off discount.  So I managed to pick up Brandy Station and Pipe Creek for ~$17!  Now my SoW collection is complete! 

Just FYI.

OOTP 15 is 50% off on Steam.

Good question; no idea.  :-[

Good grief! I already own at least two versions of that pack, and I'm tempted to buy it again just to have them on Steam.

^ With my Total War library, I do not see any reason to ever install and play a Cossacks game. The series held a lot of promise, but the terrible UI and absolute necessity to micromanage ALL of your troops made the game a disaster to play.

Hegemony: Rome is 75% off on steam...$7.49.

Hegemony: Rome is 75% off on steam...$7.49.

I picked that up a few months ago and still haven't played it. 

Perhaps I'll install and check it out.  Been hopping between ye olde line formation style games lately.  If nothing else, it'll inspire me to fire up an HPS Ancient Warfare series battle. 

I've seen some reports that the AI isn't aggressive at all.  Which is the complete opposite of Hegemony: Philip Gold where it was purely Terminator cyborgs that would stop at nothing as soon as it saw you.  Maybe they'll eventually find the sweet spot in the middle (and improve the diplo options in sandbox?).

I'll eventually pick it up, because I love the game play in Hegemony Phillip.  Unfortunately this one has just not seemed to be well received and it doesn't appear to address my biggest issue with the previous game - diplomacy.

I just saw that JustFlight is having a 48 hour sale on Air Hauler for $8.  Since I checked on it late, it's likely less than 48 hours so if you're thinking of jumping in, don't wait too long.

If only i wasnt broke after buying new Civ and FM2015

[Greybriar]

I noticed several titles on sell at The Humble Store. For example there's Imperial Glory for $0.99. Bridge Constructor and its Medieval sequel are priced at $1.99.

[JasonPratt]

Civ 5 Complete is $17 at Gamersgate midweek; particular elements are discounted accordingly.

I know some Grogs have been playing Majesty 2 and Company of Heroes 2 recently, and both those collections are on sale at GG midweek, too. I'm interested in both games, but I held off buying because of poor initial reports. How are they doing currently?

[Gusington]

I'm also curious about Majesty 2.
