The Steam Summer Sale is On!

The cute Steam Summer Sale mascots.

It's Steam Sale time!  Scrape together those pennies or rev up your credit card and plump up your game library.  There are some interesting new features this year revolving around the monster themed sale.  There is a mini-game in which the community can unlock special deals.  I have yet to play it because it seems to be completely broken but obviously some people have been able to get in because there were some special deals unlocked today.  Hey, maybe it'll work tomorrow.....

I'm on the lookout for some fantastic deals.  Here's what's I've already purchased and here's what's on my wishlist:

1.) Dust:  An Elysian Tale

This game looks interesting and beautiful.  I'm not a huge fan of platformers but you can't beat the $5.09 price tag.

2.) Shovel Knight

Another indie game that's also a platformer.  I've read a lot of great things about this game and it looks cute.  It wasn't quite as cheap as Dust, but it's on sale.

The rest of my wishlist looks like this (there's no way I'm buying all these games...at least that's what I'm telling myself):

Pillars of Eternity

Ori and the Blind Forest

Valkyria Chronicles (I'm not sure about this one...I'm not a big JRPG fan)

Cities:  Skylines

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

There's one more that I can't think of right now, but I keep adding more and more.  There are some great deals on some games I've really enjoyed--Wasteland 2 is currently 50% off ($19.99), The Witcher 1-2 can both be purchased for a total of under $10, the XCOM franchise is super cheap...so many great deals!
