Games on SALE!

Yes. Don't know if 33% off is enough to warrant it for you, but it was a very good game in its genre. Depends if you like or love the genre.
The concept sounds really fun--the gameplay looks mediocre.
Humble Bundle is having a big sale right now. On top of that, they're giving away a free game! Stealth Inc 2:

Those discounts are crazy! In the Telltale create-a-bundle, Game of Thrones is $14.99 and Tales from the Borderlands is $12.49 individually, or $27.48 together. Add the three 99 cent games and your new total is $10.49 for all five (which I just bought).
I'm really tempted to get Back to the Future (and just to get it cheaper, toss in Puzzle Agent 1 & 2, and Poker Night 2). If the Sam & Max games were included in this deal, I would've gotten them in a heartbeat.
Back to the Future is pretty great.

Latest Humble Bundle is a bunch of Tom Clancy games. I've honestly never been a fan of any of the Tom Clancy games, myself, but it's a pretty damn great deal for anyone who is a fan.
EDIT: Ick, they're redeemable ONLY through UPlay. You know, on the other hand...

Bundle Stars has had this amazing deal with Shadow of Mordor for awhile now. It was $19.99 for the game and all its DLC for awhile. Now it's dropped to $14 for the same package. I've been humming and hawing over it for several days now.

GET IT! Easily one of the best Middle Earth games, or just games in general.

Whoa. Bought.
a) How trustworthy is Bundlestars? I'd never heard of them before today, and apparently even my work's filter hasn't - they aren't blocked.
b) How valuable is the DLC? I can see myself playing this eventually, but with a GOTY edition or just the base game from a Steam sale at -75% or so - this is more or less the same but is it worth getting all the DLC or am I better off waiting for a cheapo version of the base game?

Can't say about the DLC, since I've never played it. But I've bought a few things from Bundle Stars before. They work just like Green Man Gaming or Humble Bundle.[DOUBLEPOST=1441164866,1441164599][/DOUBLEPOST]
Done. It really is too good a deal to pass up.[DOUBLEPOST=1441165186][/DOUBLEPOST]http://www.bundlestars.com/store/darksiders-franchise-pack/
Speaking of Bundle Stars, here's another pack they're offering: the Darksiders franchise pack. Both games and all the DLC for $11.99. Not sure if that one's worth it, since I've never played them.
Honestly, the majority of Bundle Stars' offerings are ho-hum. A lot of indie game packages. Most of said games don't seem to rate very highly on Steam. For example:

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/infinite-bundle/

I've never played the second, but the first was very good. It's not as good as Zelda at puzzles, and the combat isn't perfect, but it's a lot of fun. If Zelda games weren't such a high benchmark, then it wouldn't make Darksiders's flaws so obvious. The gameplay is solid, if rough around the edges. The story is ludicrous, and verges on nonsensical; while the mythology just jumps right over that line and is unfathomable. Still, the characters are fun, even if the world makes no sense.
Seconded. Good, though not great. Fun, though not awesome. Interesting, though not engrossing. If you're looking for something to play, 12 dollars is a good price.
Darksiders 1 was very good. Nice if you like action adventure games with metroidvania/zelda style map progression where new items allow you to access and unlock new areas. You play as basically Link if he was jacked up on roids, and Navi is replaced with Mark Hamil doing his totally-not-the-joker-but-totally-is-the-joker voice. The art style is very nice, too. There is nothing ORIGINAL in this game, whole sections of it are cut in full from other games, but they're all good parts cobbled together from other good games, and I see nothing wrong with that if done well.
Darksiders 2 I never got very far into because it bored me and the PC port wasn't very good. Death somehow has less personality than War, and that's saying something because War has less personality than Plank from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy.

I'm liking Humble Bundle's new Build-a-Bundle deals. They currently have one for pretty much all of Double Fine's games. Pretty great deal. If I didn't already own most of them (only two I'd be interested in are Hack 'N Slash and Iron Brigade), I'd jump on this.

Fallen Enchantress:Legendary Heroes is 10 bucks on humble now.

Same.
Shadow of Mordor doesn't require uplay if you purchase from steam.
I can personally attest to this. I haven't had to log into uPlay.
I can't find the sale on the game on that site, by the way. Is it better than the deal I found a few weeks ago? Because the one I found includes all the DLC, too.

If you don't have it already, Saints Row Ultimate Franchise Pack is 80% off. (Gat Out of Hell not included, and quite honestly, eh, you're not missing much)

Yeah but those 3 hours we played was like 1/3 of the entire game. I'd say to those who don't already have it, wait until it goes down to around $5 to get Gat Out of Hell.
Basically this. It's fun, though not as funny as The Third or IV, but it's really just sort of a stand-alone DLC.

Humble Bundle's latest bundle is Total War. I seem to recall some people on here are fans of the series, so they can hype it better than I could.
