Steam Summer Sale is Over - Whatcha Get

[Fighting Farmer]

Now that the sale is over I thought some may want to list a tally of their purchased games and more importantly if you have had a chance to play these games - what are your impressions of them?

[ArizonaTank]

Steam didn't grab my attention much with this sale...  I only bought one thing....  Iron Front.... 

[Staggerwing]

I picked up Take on Helicopters/Hind as well as ARMA2 Combined Operations and its BAF and Private Military Contracter DLC. So far Helicopters runs like a sick pig on my 'puter but I'm hoping there are some tweeks I can find. ARMA2 is new for me so I'm trying to get a handle on the many key commands and interface popups. My first very brief multiplayer stint was less than glorious- I got whacked twice, once while sticking my fool head up out of a vehicle hatch (sorry, Command Tent!). I'm also trying to understand the whole earning and buying thing. I tried to buy a LAV25 to drive but I ended up with a 'bot vehicle that followed me around like a pet dinosaur. ???

I got a bunch of Civ V DLC, Rage, and Limbo for myself and I bought Skyrim for a friend.

It's only that one type of map that uses the buying system.  It is kinda weird.  Anyway, if you want to take over a vehicle that you bought, you just have to use the Function keys to select one of the crew members, press the"1" key and select "disembark".  THen you can hop in and take control.  (you should also order the disembarked crew member to madly charge at the nearest available enemy.  Otherwise he'll act like a clingy girlfriend and keep demanding to know where you are.)

I did not buy a single game from Steam during its Summer Sale. I don't know whether to be happy or cry.

I did not list the games I bought in the original post because I was too embarrassed by the fact that I gave into temptation.
I started out good and only purchased some DLC for Crusaders Kings II (which I still need to try someday). But then my resistance disappeared as the sale when on and I wound up also buying Anno 2070, Stronghold 3 and the Gratuitous Space/Tank Battles bundle.

Picked up:

Take On Helicopter bundle
ARMA2 Combined Arms
Skyrim
Oblivion GoTy Deluxe
Union Pacific BigBoy steam engine addon

Ended up picking up more than I planned.  Now I just need some TIME to download and play these.

I was tempted, but did not get: Anno 2070, the new Microsoft Flight bundle and Cities XL 2012..

I also got more than I planned on: Arma II: Combined Operations, Take on Helicopters + Hinds (gifted), Deus Ex: Human Evolution and The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition. Now I just need some time :/

The fact that my wallet had already been hit pretty hard that week with the release of Decisive Campaigns:Case Blue combined with the fact that I already had just about anything I had an interest in held me in check.  All I got was Fable III and Portal 2, plus someone had an extra copy of Bioshock 2, which they kindly gifted to me.

I did better then I thought I would.  I got mostly cheap DLC for CKII, CivV, and ARMA II.  I also got Stronghold 3 but I'd rather not talk about that....

Its all good.  The best way to learn is to jump in with other people and ask.  You'll be blowing up badies in no time.  You did have some bad luck getting shot out of the hatch.  The enemy spawned at a machine gun emplacement right before you popped out and I couldn't type fast enough to warn you.  We've got to see if we can get voice chat working on that server.

I only bought Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, Fallout NV Ultimate Edition, and Crusader Kings II with all the DLC. Was hoping Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion would have gone on sale, but wasn't surprised it didn't since its a new game.
