I said I had enough games to last me a lifetime and no need to buy any... but alas, the Steam Summer sale came by.

So far:
Prison Architect - always wanted this so might as well
Saints Row IV - haven't played the series since first one but at <$5 why not
Monkey Island series - haven't played since I was a kid so bought the whole lot of the remade ones
Garry's Mod - curious what this is all about and it was under $3


But non purchases:
Payday 2 - trial period (seems ok but not my kind of game enough to buy it; I prefer heists in GTA V)

I do wish it was easier to see which games supported Steam Cloud sync though. This is a big thing for me as I play on my large laptop at home but I'd like to sync progress with my Surface Pro 4 when I'm out and about/travelling.

Just spent my money on badges again.

If you want cheap games, find a dealer. This year's sale is quite poor compared to previous years.

Probably not this time. Spent money on Overwatch and a keyboard.

Will wait until the last day of the sale to see.

Haha I know the feeling- same boat with a blue keyboard + Overwatch. Also even bought DAC + headphones so I can play without disturbing the missus.

Damnit I really gotta stop looking... saw Burnout Paradise for cheap and thought it'd be a fun game to play on my SP4 whilst I'm out!

I would recommend it.

Do you have a controller?

Burnout Paradise is not fun. The controls are messed up.
Literally unplayable.

Yeah ikr... I had it on PS3 before though it was amazing on that.

So far I've bought DB Xenoverse and Batman Arkham City. Was hoping to play Arkham City today then saw the 17 GB download... X.X

I haven't tried it but I vaguely recall playing older Burnout games on last gen consoles (or maybe two gens ago) and enjoying it. I use my Xbox One controller :)

I'll have a try once I get over prison architect.

Was so tempted by GTA V but no way to sync progress of SP with my Xbox One :(
