Man, I hope so... Most of that 250 are plain junk.

Looks like most of them are point & click "Adventure" games so I'm guessing they're doing the genre weeks again?  Hopefully.

How can you say that?  It's got Woodcutter Simulator and Woodcutter Simulator 2011 (Revenge of the Woodcutter)! 

Anyway, you can see that they've got a little graphic in the top right saying the sale will last 4 weeks and this is week two. 

I hope they bring back the advent calendar.

No Woodcutter Simulator 2012 : Timber Strikes Back? Pfffft...sale's a joke!

Oh wait, I take that back! CIA Petrodollars sounds like a winner :

QuoteAt the center of the famous government agency, the "Federal Tax Bureau" (a.k.a. the "F.T.B."), is a team dedicated to the most serious affairs - the "Criminal Investigation Service".

You play the role of F.T.B. Special Agent, Frances Keegan

Responsible for tracking down tax evaders in three-piece suits, your heroine knows the financial world, spy techniques and on-site investigations like the back of her hand.

Specialized in the oil industry, Frances is relentlessly pursuing Klaus Fredricks, who has been under constant surveillance ever since he was suspected of murdering one of the agents' colleagues and friends, Eric Ward.

The scale of the operation is getting larger, and the F.T.B. is doing everything in its power to catch all those who think they are above any man and any law.

    An original storyline
    A breathtaking plot
    Stunningly realistic animated scenery
    Zoom in and move around scenes easily to unearth clues
    Customize the heroine according to the various assignments
    Various mini games such as Match 3, Sliding Block and Jigsaw games
    Game Center compatible

An original storyline? I'm sold! I have no idea where the CIA fits in to any of this, but who can resist stunningly realistic animated scenery?

Yes, I actually am buying this. Could make good fodder for a blog post when I'm bored.

^If an agent was murdered this is has gone beyond the IRS I believe :P
Or is it like in Baywatch, where the lifeguards neutralize terrorists and disarm nuclear bombs, all the while handling the diplomatic side as well? :D

Who can know? See? It's already filled with intrigue!  ;D

I see the TW Fall Of the Samurai Collection going for $20.

Are all these damn clan pack DLCs worth bothering with?  They looked pretty thin to me so I never bought any. 

Hell, I even recently uninstalled TW Shogun 2 because the updates just kept bloating it up bigger & bigger and I hadn't played in awhile.  It was using like over 30GB of hard drive space!  WTF?

Why not just wait for the Steam holiday sale.  They'll be 75% off I'm sure and you don't have to do anything as it'll already be updated.

I wasn't  planning on buying anything just yet.   Was really only wondering if anyone habitually bought the individual clan DLCs and why.

I got some because they were like $1 or $2 on sale.  I don't know what they do.

I've got the Saga Clan as a freebie when I bought the S2 and FotS twinpack from Game. It's fine, but just another playable faction. I'm not a great fan of getting playable clans by DLC if they're just unlockable from the main game. If they've required SEGA to put additional programming effort above and beyond what has already shipped then I'm more sympathetic. As a TW fanboy, I'll probably get the rest, but like Bison, I'll wait for a sale.

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those darned kids and that dog.
