    I think it may almost be worth it to wait for Steam's summer sale at this point. It usually is sometime in early July right?

    Yea, grab SR3. THQ need all the money they can get to ensure we get more Saints-Row and we get to see more of the Metro.

    Bets are on a date around June 25th as it started there last year.

    Less than 4 weeks away, time to get some money over to my Paypal account. Then again, if I buy anything else my backlog may attempt to smother me in my sleep...

    Green Man Gaming sent me an email this morning touting a "Queen's Diamond Jubilee Sale" and a code for 10% off anything in their catalog.

    The code is "ROYAL-BARGA-INING" and is supposedly good for 10% off any title they sell, even stuff already on sale. I assume it can be used multiple times as well.

    Not the greatest bargain, but if you were going to buy something from GMG on sale already maybe it'll snag you and extra couple bucks (or pounds) in savings.

    Stop looking it as a backlog and start looking at it as a collection. ;)

    Yeah, that GMG deal is great. They currently have Dead Island and DLC at 60% off (+don't forget the voucher code that Slainte posted). To get the code to work on all three items (base game and the 2 DLC), I had to place 3 separate orders, but maybe it will work easier for you guys. Registers on steam.

    And Killing Floor is 75% off (also registers on steam).

    Wanted to point out that the Saint's Row sale on Steam applies to the season pass or whatever, making Genkibowl, ...Clones, and ...Space, $6.80 as a package.

    I would go with 5 over 4 if you're only going to get one. But both is better!

    EDIT: Oh, duh, they're sold together! 4,5,6 is a great combo!

    Another vote for Ultima V. It's the peak of the engine used on 3,4, and 5, and little tweaks in the combat (diagonal targeting) and dungeons (a variety of cool graphics replace the wire-frame graphics of the latter), the spell system is easier to use, and it's epic, adding an entire underworld to the mix.

    By far my favorite Ultima.

    Not sure if this fits, but Best Buy is now offering a $25 gift card with the purchase of Windows 7 Home Premium. Of course, their price is still the retail standard $119.99 for the upgrade (a bit higher than some online sources) but now might be a good time for those who are still clinging to their old OS platforms. Windows 7 is better. Really. And it comes shipped *with* a start menu ;)

    Finally picked up worms on sale @ steam. Never really played them before. My 5 year old son laughs hysterically at those "crazy worms" totally worth the price just for that alone

    At least in the case of MLB 2k12, $10 worth of crap is still crap.

    If you're still unsure about Unity of Command, there is a demo out there now.

    Plus they just added an undo button. No more excuses!
