Steam Games That Need To Be On Sale

There are currently three games I want to get on steam, which aren't particularily expensive ($10-$20 USD) but I have enough games right now that I'll try to wait for them to go on sale before I buy them. My most recent steam purcahases were Torchlight ($20), which wasn't on sale but was definitely worth the money, and QuantZ ($2.99) which was on sale I think as a midweek madness sale.

The first game is Osmos which is a nice looking game along the lines of an "eat and grow" kind of game but not quite the same as it has it's own additions that make it more challenging, such as other particles getting bigger and you also lose mass as you propel yourself around. It's got a nice and relaxing soundtrack and gameplay to match, you have to take your time and drift alot to prevent losing mass and being consumed by the other particles in the field.

"Your objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks you. Relax - good things come to those who wait." - steampowered.com


Zombie Driver is a game that doesn't run so well on my laptop due to weak graphic card abilities by intel & toshiba, but the game is worth  playing even if I have to close almost every other program just to minimize lag. You basically get a car and are given mission to rescue people from hoards of zombies in the city, which you do by running them down in a big bloody mess, or shooting them with weapon upgrades for your car. You can even unlock a bugatti veyron sports car in the demo (which should be in the full game of course)

"Fight your way through the streets of a zombie infested city to save the survivors of a disastrous chemical accident that changed most of the city's population into mindless brain hungry monsters. Time is your enemy and your car is your weapon as you race through the streets smashing everything on your way including fences, phone booths, street lamps and hordes of zombies. When the gruesomely mutated zombies become too much to handle, buy a new car or get more guns and upgrades installed. You can earn more money for finishing side quests, making kill combos and searching for hidden prizes. Game play is unrestricted and the player can freely roam through the dark streets, alleys and backyards searching for the best shortcuts or hidden power ups." - steampowered.com


And finally is Machinarium a point and click adventure game, with some very nice looking graphic styling. There isn't really any spoken words just pictures in speech bubbles used as a general guide to what you should be doing, it begins as a small robot gets dropped into a trash pile away from a large industrial/robot city, he puts himself together and then makes his way back. The demo doesn't go much further into it than that but it's a creative and fun puzzle game and if it goes on sale I think it will definitely be worth getting as the regular price of $20 USD seems abit high for this one.

"A little robot who’s been thrown out to the scrap yard behind the city must return and confront the Black Cap Brotherhood and save his robot-girl friend." - steampowered.com
