Just purchased Trine.

i should have done that when it was on special. nonetheless i've just gotten it for 19USD. still not bad pricing for indie and it's going to rock my socks

so what we do with the thread now that the holiday specials are over ?

I see some other ones I might buy, $19 is not bad at all. Maybe keep it going for other specials?

Relabel it to reflect any specials that steam has going and keep it updated

King's Bounty collection is going 11.12 usd. not bad if one is 79 and other 82 on meta critic.

About the Game

King's Bounty: The Legend is an adventure game with tactical turn-based battles and role-playing elements. In a fairy tale fantasy world of fearless knights, evil mages, wise kings and beautiful princesses the player controls a hero. Leading their character through the game world, exploring it, commanding armies in battle and accomplishing various quests can mean great reward or huge defeats.

Gameplay is divided into two major sections: adventure mode and battle mode. While playing in adventure mode the gamer controls their character in real-time. With several classes available at the start of a new game, the player moves through the adventure map seeking various treasures, fighting monsters and accomplishing quests tasked to him by the local stewards. Once in battle mode the gamer assumes the role of a war chief, leading his troops in tactical turn-based combat. Battles take place on land or sea, in dungeons or castles or even in some items! The hero himself doesn't participate in the combat, but can assist his troops by casting spells or summoning different creatures.

Real-time (adventure) meets turn-based (battles) gameplay
Rich fantasy setting, storyline with a lot of twists and an unexpected ending
Three types of characters to choose from — Each of them with unique characteristics and abilities
Huge game world with dozens locations and battlefields — both on the surface and in the dungeons
The game world isn't static — enemies don't just sit and wait for the hero to arrive, they pursue their own aims and try to get into the player's way

It looks like Zero Gear is only free for the weekend, so be careful of wasting those gigs.. It popped up here as well, this morning.
