Wings,

Do you know anything about the steel armor game on sale?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/286280/

is that a good price?

Thanks

I have not played it, a "Very Positive" total review (92 reviews) from Steam gamers is a good bet that it is very playable and enjoyable. Price wise I think its a fair price, although a great sale could be on the horizon! [:)]

Unless you "have to have it right now" your best bet for Steam is to add a game to your wishlist. Then you'll see it go on sale and you can watch it for a couple months. After a while you'll notice the pricing trend for that game. For example, I was watching a game for a long time that was $20. It would go on sale every month or two for $10. It never went below ten in about a year's time. So I went ahead and bought it on sale at $10.

"Weeklong Deals" Here is the list of games on sale, large to small discounts (some discounts are not showing up, click on each individual title for the discount), positive to negative reviews. [:)] These games are on sale until March 7th! Check it out, there is usually something there for most everyone!

Thanks for this Patrick, I often forget to check the Weeklong Deals!

I see Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star is on sale at quite a considerable discount (-80%), so I think I'll get that. Does anyone have any experience / opinion on the DLC? Are any recommended, or is the base game good enough to begin with?

[demyansk]

I have Star but the interface is a rough one. A few months ago, humble bundle had the game and all dlcs for under 6 bucks if I recall. I don't like the interface but it's a good game

Steal Armor is the second best Tank Sim out right now. Steal Beasts pro is number 1 in my opinion. Only downside to Steam Armor is it shares the same horrible UI as Graviteam Tactics games.

I'm more partial to "Beyond Earth" but "Pandora" just as good (if not better)!
