Steam Holiday Daily Deal: 01/01/12, predictable rerun

Steam's daily deals for this here final day of the sales (01/01/12) is a predictable rerun of past deals and disappointing for yours truly. It's not that the returning deals are bad, but I was really hoping to see Hard Reset at 75% again as I somehow forgot to buy it when it was on sale—a.k.a., completely my fault. Selfishness aside, the returning deals are fine and dandy, but I sure would have liked to see some older deals returning over deals from yesterday lasting an extra day.

Blah, blah, blah; you should all know which games I recommend by now, but if not, I'll throw some out fast to fill space and waste time. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is my game of the year and since this isn't a PS3 deal, no hesitation is needed. Bastion is my downloadable game of the year and if you still haven't bought it you're a bastard. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is in my top 5 and lived up to my extremely high expectations, surprisingly the shit out of me. And every other game (almost) is worth at least consideration and remember that more than just these games are on sale and those sales end tomorrow too. Links and the shit that came out of me from surprise can be found below; okay, maybe not the latter, but definitely the former.
