As soon as I see what the weekend deal is tomorrow, I’m going to buy it. For some reason lately Steam doesn’t like recognising my VISA card. I’ve had to keep trying several times before the purchase goes through, so I’d rather minimise how many transactions I do.

Anyone else had this problem with Steam for the past month or so? It coincided with the renewal of my VISA ard, so it might be that, but I doubt it, as it works just fine for other sites.

I actually hate Flash built tower defense games, but I’m really enjoying Plants vs. Zombies. I seem to remember liking Desktop Tower Defense before everyone on earth made a shitty clone of it.

Maybe I’ll pick it up… who knows. :p

Okay, this is fun and worth the $5. I foresee popping back and forth between this and PvZ a lot in the next several days…

I’m on the rock and roll at the mo and I bought it today at this price and it’s a no brainer.
Re-installed Steam and saw I’d also bought Audiosurf!

Couldn’t resist this game at the price, so I went to steam. click, type, click, purchase. Error? GAH! What could be wrong?

Oh.

Turns out I bought it when I first read about it here, and it’s been sitting, not quite finished downloading on my HDD for a long time.

Oh nice, thanks to whoever pointed out the D2D sale, which is just a bunch of Aspyr published stuff which also includes Cryostasis and a PC port of Stubbs the Zombie I did not know existed…

Am… I the only one who initially interpreted ‘splendid narration/story’ as sarcasm?

$5 US, yeah I can’t turn that down.

“4,75€ is only cheap if you cannot get something reasonably similar of the same quality for less (like the free desktop tower defense maybe ?).”

GemCraft is a free game that has amused me more than most 40 dollar games I’ve purchased.

That said, DefenseGrid was fun, but even now.. I dunno..

I picked it up when it was on a pre-release sale for $10 because the regular price seemed outrageous. Now I think I wouldn’t have felt bad paying $20 for it. Anyone who doesn’t snap this up for $5 is a fool and a cad.

Ahh, I’d been considering this for a while but couldn’t justify the cost. I’ll almost certainly get it now.

I tried the demo a while ago. But I admit I only played the first 3 (tutorial) missions. From that, it looks really like “Desktop Tower Defense in 3D” to me. Which is not a bad thing of course (DTD is fun), but I’ll easily skip the ‘Bargain’ this time.
