[Steam] Euro Truck Sim 2 + ALL DLC on Sale [$4.99 Base - $6.99 Gold]

This game is unusual, difficult, fun, and addicting. Its similar to the mold on that month old piece of pizza sitting in the back of your fridge. It grows on your slowly, and you just can't, or for whatever reason, wont, get rid of it. After playing it for a few hours, Euro Truck seems to be a good game for anyone who enjoys a good Sim. It was nice to break out of the city management or life management Sims, and just have some good fun being a truck driver.

Unless you really get into Sim type games, I would not recommend buying this game when not on sale. As I said, it does have some good replay value. But unless you are deeply interested in truck driving and management, you will not be racking up more than 20 hours on Euro Truck.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 [BASE GAME] $4.99  [GOLD EDITION $6.99 INCLUDES Going East! DLC]

DLC:
Going East! --$4.41
Force of Nature Paint Jobs Pack  --$1.59

I give it around 5/10 blown tires. If you Sims are your thing, and you are tired of playing the same games over and over, give it a try! Euro Truck 2 on Steam\

[PC STEAM] Zombie Driver $1.99

Okay, a little about this game. The first hour or so it's brutal. You are smashing every un-living thing in sight and upgrading like crazy. Unless you are pretty heavily armored mid to late game, it is not as fun and can be a little daunting completing each task.. The graphics, concept, and gameplay are good. This game is worth it at the price, a good amount of gameplay time is contained but there is not much of a replay factor.

I would give it about 4.25/10 Bullets to the head.  Even still, it is worth every penny on Steam right now at only $1.99.

Here is a short gameplay video:

So, I want your input. What do you think about Zombie Driver? Do you like it or loathe it? Have you stayed up for hours playing it or did you pick it up on the cheap in a Steam sale and play less than an hour. We want to know what you think. I for one played it for around 2 hours, it's just not my thing. But 1.99 is definitely not a bad deal on this kind of casual game

[PC] Revenge of the Titans NOW ON STEAM! $13.49

When I first started this blog, I mentioned a game called Revenge of the Titans by indie developer Puppy Games. I have played this game quite a bit since I first got it with the Humble Indie Bundle. It is a great tower defense games and the AI keeps you constantly on the edge of your... er.. mouse? Steam is releasing the game at 10% off for its release making it $13.49 in my opinion a great price for the game.

[PC] Bit.Trip Runner $9.99 - Cheap Game Pick of the Day

BIT.TRIP RUNNER is a fast paced music/rythym-platformer available on Steam. I have BIT.TRIP BEAT for Wii and PC and it was very addicting. This promises to be a good game for the indie/platformer/music fan. The first game had really cool music, sounds like this one does as well.[LINK] 

[PC] Magicka Wizard Survival Kit .99 cents!

A DLC has been released for Magicka. The Wizard Survival Kit includes the following items:
Wizard's Hat (item) - No wizard of note would ever be seen outdoors without one of these pointy hats. Sharp Sword (item) - The instruction reads “stick them with the pointy end”. Good to have in a pinch.
Staff +1(item) - Whack your foes over the head, use it to prod mucky waters or lean on it to look cool - the staff +1 let’s you do all of it in style.
Meteor Shower (new Magick) - Rain burning rocks down on your enemies. ‘Nuff said.
In my opinion a .99 DLC is kind of odd, but I will most likely buy it none the less.
