The Damage: Steam Summer Sale 2012

I've been rather busy (more on that later) and haven't posted anything on the recent Steam mega sale.  Though there has been some great coverage over at DigitallyDownloaded.net which I recommend you check out.  (especially surviving a steam sale)

I had no intentions of buying this sale (considering my PC malfunctions - new one on the way), but as usual I couldn't resist and am not sure I made the best use of my money.  DAMN YOU STEAM!!

Without further adieu, let's check out the damage:








Total: $34.15

Games:

  • Borderlands GOTY
  • From Dust
  • The Binding Of Issac
    • BoI Soundtrack
    • BoI Wrath of Lamb
  • Frozen Synapse: Complete Pack
  • Bastion
  • Trine 2
  • Vessel
  • Cave Story+

   Honestly these are all fine games and considering the discounts it's considerable gaming content for under $40.  Though my original goal was to stay under $20 and I'm not sure I made the best choices.  That feeling was only compounded by Scott from CoffeeWithGames.com mentioning The Walking Dead.  

   After checking out some additional videos from Telltale's website I probably should have just gone with The Walking Dead for 40% off ($14.99) and maybe Borderlands.  After spending nearly $35 I thought it was best to stop the bleeding and wait for the winter sale.  Better yet maybe I'll buy it for more and support the dev?

How did you fare this time around and what do you think of the above games?
