Steam's Midweek Madness game sale is certifiably redonk photo

Altitude and Gridrunner Revolution. If you don't already have them, now is unquestionably the time to remedy that.

Steam is doing another one of those ludicrously cheap sales for kickass games. This time around, no fewer than seven indie games (Altitude, Bob Came in Pieces, Bullet Candy, Galcon Fusion, Gridrunner Revolution, Space Giraffe, and Super Laser Racer) are on sale for two dollars each, or ten bucks for the entire package.

I'd generally recommend getting the entire pack for a measly tenner, but if you somehow find yourself in a position where you absolutely must keep at least six dollars in your wallet (perhaps a member of your family has been taken hostage, or something), I'd suggest Altitude and Gridrunner Revolution. The former is a highly entertaining, 2D plane combat game wrapped in a tortilla of Modern Warfare-esque perks and upgrades, and the latter is a bizarrely awesome synaesthetic experience you've gotta try to understand.

I bought Gridrunner LAST WEEK when it came out. Awesome game. But from this pack, Altitude and Bullet Candy were purchased.

I didn't like Galcon Fusion that much after demoing it, and Bob Came in Pieces didn't capture my attention.

Got the package as soon as I saw it. Altitude and Bob are great, Gridrunner and Space Giraffe are just fucking insane, the other three I only tried for a couple of minutes. Ten bucks well spent.

I hate Steam for doing this all the time. I bought Gridrunner last week for $10. FFFFUUUUUUUCK!!!! These sales always happen right after I buy their shit.

That's happened to me more than once as well. Learned my lesson the hard way but now I don't buy from steam unless it's on sale. Sure I have to wait longer for things, but these sales are too good not to wait.

Keep in mind people Space Giraffe on PC isn't as much as a visual sodomy as the Xbox version so it's actually a great game.

Just bought this a few minutes ago when I took a break from hunting the dang Portal radios. I've been on the fence about Altitude for awhile now, but for two bucks? Gimme. I bought a Slurpee earlier today that cost more than that.

Great, Altitude doesn't want to play unless I update my drivers (which I don't, as newer NVidia drivers fuck some things up for me) and another game won't even run properly.

Not buying indie games anymore, that's for sure.

This is perfect considering my 360 is off for repairs and the Wii I preordered from gamestop probably won't get to me before next friday. I purchased the whole pack.

Why the hell not. Though it would appear us (un)fortunate enough to use pounds sterling have to pay £10, so that's like $16 in the current exchange.

Well FINE.

I already owned Altitude, great game, worth the 7 bucks I spent, yesterday bought Bob and Gridrunner, didn't try them so much but I think they worth the money :)

I'm surprised you took so long to make a post about this Anthony "Indie" Burch. Anyway look at this. Altitude = $10 regularly and this deal is $10. You do the math. I only got to play Altitude for a few minutes this morning and love it.

Also I bought 3 extra copies of Altitude for my other accounts/computers and gifted a copy to some random guy on Steam.

I'm not buying anything from Steam until I get The Orange Box to actually work.

This Portal thing isn't helping.

I just came here to see if there was any advice on what would be a good buy. I think I'll probably just drop the 10 for all of them consider what your saying. If just 3 are decent I won't consider myself at a loss.

Altitude is worth 2$. I got both it and BC2, and...I keep wanting to play Altitude, which was 48$ less.
