A recommendation for Puzzler World... It looks stupid, but if you're inclined to play puzzles at all, it's well worth the $1.49:

Don't want to support the developer? It's free on their site:

Anyway, here are my purchases for the sale!:

Well played, Steam... Well played. :lol

My first steam christmas. I actually play consoles mostly but recently come to love steam. I did buy way more than I initially wanted to but I'm still happy with this result. Played Recettear, gf and me love it - thx gaf. Finally tried Bully and it's awesome too. I wanted to buy vvvvVVVvv but think I pass- Played it at a friend and it's quite nice but I think I should stop now. :lol

Damn, I forgot to leave enough in my walled for Penumbra Gold. I should find something for under ~3.50 before the sale ends.

I just picked up the Puzzler World game. I probably wouldn't have gotten it otherwise but yeah, Steam Wallet funds I might as well burn!
I refuse to buy TF2 items because I'm stubborn :lol

It's the very best game to ever bear the Tomb Raider moniker. Perfect balance of combat to exploration, no annoying side characters chirping in your ear constantly, amazing level design. Absolutely fantastic game.

don't know if this is a the place for it. So really sorry in advance.

I can't believe I'm running both of these on 1680* resolution on my crappy 512mb GPU. I am also on a 3.0 ghz dual core.

I am not that hardware shrewd, so this pretty much mind blowing to me. Can someone explain it to me? Because I feel like I shouldn't be able to run the games.

And will I be able to run arkham asylum? Since I want to play it, but aren't really sure as to whether I'll be able to pull it off.

This is what you get when you have good programmers coding for scalability on a main platform.

A 360 port will never run smoothly because of what it is: A PORT.

The game was made with a platform in mind, and ported (sometimes rather quickly) to others to make an extra buck.
Valve's main platform is the PC.

I assume you mean single player racing, since the best Multiplayer one was published by Nintendo.

Haven't played PGR2 online huh? MKDS is closest, out of that series.

And Rallisport Challenge. Also, Trackmania is also deserving of the honor, but they need to get up off their asses and expand it tenfold instead of doing new versions that are akin to expansions. Basically, racing games <3

Rain_1 is the steam name.

Edit: If quoting that message is not considered as a valdi answer, somebody should take the answer and go back trying to find the original message, because I'm not doing that.. :p

Also, I already have the game, i wanted it for a friend. So, if anybody else wants it, go ahead.

So Steam crew, now that I have purchased 60 or so games, I feel I should get myself some sort of usb gaming headset, especially for the online stuff. Are there any good bang-for-my-buck suggestions you guys have? I'd like to get the 5.1 ones if I can get a reasonable price, but it is not required if theres something that's a better value for my money.

From talking to people in TF2, it seems a lot of people just use what ever they have laying around. I have SingStar Microphone that I used as bent up metal hanger to prop up.
