Steam sale day 1 is up. Amazon is trying to price match as Steam posts the deals. Nothing too good to pass up yet though.

Steam Sale Rules
1. Do not buy games unless they are a Daily Deal, Flash Sale, or Community Choice as they may go cheaper. Steam has 2 sale prices for every title – the duration sale discount and the promotion sale discount.
2. If a game has not been a Daily Deal, Flash Sale, or Community Choice buy it on the last day of the Steam Sale.
3. Purchase games as gifts if you do not intend to play them straight away. You can still redeem them on your account later but this provides you the flexibility to resell the game or trade with another Steam user should you realise you do not want the game.
4. Use your wishlist to track games you really want. When they go on sale Steam will email you about the discounts.
5. Multi packs for vendors/publishers are rarely discounted beyond their duration sale discount level so these are safer buys if you want to buy full publisher catalogues but do note the games may still be cheaper individually.
6. If you miss a Daily Deal, Flash Sale or Community Choice, do not buy the game until the last day of the sale. This is because Steam has in the past introduced encore sales on the last day, which may include the game you want again.
Steam Sale Guidance
1. If a title is discounted by 66% or more (typically 75% or more), this is likely the cheapest it will be in the sale.
2. Brand new titles are not typically discounted more than 10-20%.

What's the verdict on Arkham Origins? Worth picking up at half price?

don't get me started.
bottom line, if you're looking for more of the same, you'll find it. if you're looking for more of the new, look elsewhere. It's Arkham City paint-by-numbers, at some points so blatant that you're wondering if you're not just playing a mod to make the ice grenades grey.

Forced is up on the daily sale and its fun as fuck. Been playing local co-op for hours on a couple 360 controllers, but it has network games too.

It's terms like 'chocobo breeding' that made me never want to play final fantasy.
I read that and think of obscure Japanese tentacle porn. Sick fuckers

I never was into that aspect of the FF games but if you like a good RPG they rarely make a bad one.

Chocobo breeding in FF7 is purely optional. as is KOTR btw. real men don't need summons to defeat Weapon.
well maybe Phoenix.

State of Decay is up on the daily sale. Not an incredible deal but a great game for the money.
Also, Rise of the Triad is only 2.99

Phoenix was needed for Ruby, as was KOTR
