Steam Holiday Daily Deal: 12/28/11, defending dungeons

Yesterday's Steam sales (12/27/11) weren't so great at delivering a taste I craved, but I didn't hate; instead, I just decided to wait for another day. I didn't have to wait long as today (12/28/11) has brought some rather delicious tastes to my gaming tongue—I should probably look into why I enjoy rhyming so much and get that fixed; nah, it gives me what little charm and personality I have. Back on topic, the deals today are steaming with great prices on great games. You read that right, I said the deals were "steaming" because boy, am I one clever dude.

The first game I want to recommend I've recommended numerous times before: a little game called Dungeon Defenders. The game has been 75% off previously and if you missed out then, now's your chance to pick it up and fix your mistake. If you'd like to hear my thoughts, deeper and more detailed, feel free to check out my review of the Xbox 360 version (minute differences) and if that's not enough, download the demo and give it a go yourself. P.S. I highly recommend you convince your friends to pick it up as well; the multiplayer is where it's at—whatever "it" is.

Having just finished Assassin’s Creed II and putting well over fifteen hours into the game; I find myself trying to play other games as if I were still Ezio; with his agility, his arsenal, and his ability to run up a wall as opposed to running into a wall.
