Day 3, and I'm a little disappointed with Valve; I've already bought most of the games listed for considerably cheaper before (exception of L4D2, of course). I'm personally not sure that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is really worth the $7.49. That, and I'm personally holding out for cheaper fare tomorrow!
Here's a gem I've found through browsing the Specials tab on Steam:
Puzzle Kingdoms: 95% off. $1.00 only!
Holy cow! If you're a fan of puzzle games and RPG-like games, then you'll probably like Puzzle Kingdoms. I've only played the last game from these Puzzle Quest, which was good fun itself, so I'm not 100% sure if this game's better or worse off. But at $1, or less than 5 minutes of work for the average American worker, it's a freakin' steal!
As I scour the website for more goodies at super cheap prices, I'll let you guys hear it first, only on OTOOEP. Yay acronyms!

On Steam's Summer Sale: Day 2
Hey yo everyone,
So, the new batch of sales have been released. Frankly, they aren't as impressive as yesterday; though that's just my own opinion of the games they have on (and mostly the lack of stuff under $4).
I'd recommend the Galcon Fusion game that's going for $2.50; tons of fun as a iPhone app and I've heard it's been ported to the PC / MacOSX just fine too! Ghostbusters!: The Video Game is a lot of fun, but you won't get a lot of re-playability due to the lack of multiplayer on the PC version. Meh.
Hmmm... Let's see. If you're willing to spend the bucks, Resident Evil 5 and Serious Sam HD: Double Pack will keep you entertained for a while.
Like I said, nothing truly spectacular on today. I'm going to go back to play Oblivion; yeah, I love that game. And I'm probably gonna regret buying it for $7.50 (not as part of the Steam Summer Sale, but a previous weekend offer) when it goes on sale for $2.50 sometime later.

On Steam's AMAZING SALE OF SUMMER!
I LIVE!!! Or maybe it's just work getting in the way. I still have a blog though? This blogthor is easily distracted.
Anyway...
Hate going to the beach? Worried about getting bitten by sharks? Well not to worry, because Steam has the ultimate answer for destroying the contents of your wallets... er... I mean... ensuring you don't killed (especially those off the Louisiana coast coated in oil).
There are like 300+ games on sale on the Steam platform; a few of which are actually worth picking up. Now before you go running on over and spending your hard earned cash, keep an eye out on the Today Only! section of the Steampowered webpage. Those are games that are on sale ridiculously cheap (probably as cheap as it'll get) for that day only. Now, while you might run off and buy a game that's already on sale, you miss out the chance of that same game popping up on the Today Only! section sometime later for an even greater deal!
My suggestion: Don't buy stuff unless it's on the Today Only! section, or do buy it if it's the last day (who knows when that is) and it never popped up as a daily sale.
My recommendations for today (placed in order of how badly you should get this game):
Killing Floor for $5. What? You haven't played this yet? It's a freakin' great multiplayer game built around the zombie run-in-gun genre. Not just your standard shooter, also comes with "perks" and "levels" to keep the game fresh. Plus, humorous British accents and a sexual-innuendoized gun trader to spice up the humor. BUY THIS NOW!
Trine for $4. Yes, Trine is a great puzzle game and is well worth the $4. Buy it now!
Counter Strike: Source: The question is, who doesn't have this game already? With new achievements, killcam and a few other features, getting headshotted all the time by a bunny-hopping AWPer is SOOO much more fun!
Overlord Complete Pack: Good for a couple of hours of fun. I'd get the other two games above first before getting this one.
And now for a few mentions:
The Square Enix Eidos Collector's Package: What was once $586.84 worth of gaming is now $74.99; that's a fantastic $511.85 worth of savings. Holy cow!
The Witcher: A fantastic RPG that I have yet to play that's currently for $6.79. I would strongly recommend waiting for a daily sale of this title before buying it.
Oh man, there's just so many sales! But like I said, if you got the patience to hold off till the daily sales (or who knows if there's a weekly version), you'll be solid gold (or saving lots of it!).
