    Didn't get anything on Steam, but I purchased Might and Magic 1-6 on GOG for $5. I would have purchased the complete collection for $25, but I've never played a Heroes of Might and Magic game so don't know if they're any good. The entire collection for $25 sale is over now.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Man, I don't know... Looking at the first two days of this sale, it just seems like they keep putting the same games up for sale over and over. Mirror's Edge, Batman Arkham Asylum, etc, etc. Same old games we bought last year for $4.99. I hope we see some new stuff thrown into the mix and the super reduced prices. (Crysis 2 would be nice)

    Grabbed Torchlight 2 for $9.99, thought about Borderlands 2 but even at $29.99 it isn't such a great deal as the season pass still costs $29.99 as well, just gonna wait on GOTY edition at this point.

    I suggest Arma II: Combined Operations to anyone who hasn't purchased it as the DayZ mod is to date one of the best games out there, it's at -40% atm but i'm sure it will be -50-75% soon.

    Yeah, it's bound to hit 75% eventually. I'm (not so) patiently waiting.

    I ended up getting more on GOG than I have spent on this sale.

    Steam has indeed been quite disappointing this year so far. GreenManGaming and Amazon.com have both had considerably better deals so far (and ironically, both are selling Steam keys). GreenManGaming, for instance, has a 30% off coupon which you can apparently use an unlimited number of times; I just picked up Resident Evil 5 for $7. And word is that Scribblenauts Unlimited will be 75% off on Amazon on Monday ($7.50) as opposed to Steam's opening offer of 33% off. Amazon even undercut Steam on the Darksiders franchise deal, offering a price lower by 40 cents plus a season pass and some additional credit to boot.

    I am holding out for a deal on Retro City Rampage and Sonic 4 Episode II.

    [EDIT: Whoops, that's Resident Evil 5...]

    Every Steam Holiday sale is someone's first.

    Crysis 2 is almost guaranteed to hit super sale status; it was five bucks or something similar three weeks ago during the Thanksgiving sale. Look out for the Crysis Complete bundle, where you receive all three games for eight bucks.

    The Heroes games are awesome. I've never actually played a standard M&M game but Heroes 3 is probably my most played classic game of all time.

    So far just the DLC for Serious Sam 3, which is 75% off. I see that Half-Minute Hero is $3.39 right now. That was one of my favorite PSP games, I might pick that up.
