For me it was Rayman Origins & Ridgeracer Unbounded. You know I think I am going to stop buying games when they first get released and just buy the Steam/GoG/Origins specials, unless a really awesome Collectors comes out I dont think I need a disc buy anymore...

Nah there will always be some of those games that you have to have at launch to fully enjoy them. For instance any of the CoD games sadly had maximum utility in their first 3 months before they start watering it down with DLC and all DLC only lasts 3 months before they get forgotten in time and people move on to the next thing.

Steam was made for specials. But this reminds me of Diablo 3 at launch :P

Or until such time as The Boss peruses your bank statements.

My boss has forbidden the purchase of any more games until I have made noticeable inroads into my collection.

2 Hours left on Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition. $10

Steam sales are great for backlog ...both in making your backlog bigger and paying less for them.

Ep2 was a bit harder with making some of those choices. Didn't like the option at the end though. Starve or steal :(

I was giving Larry CPR when he took a brick to the face. I was like WTF. If I managed to get him breathing would he have gone *gasp!* then splat?
